Org. XIII Event Guide - Xemnas

Fuck this event.

So, every mission is timed.  Every mission is a boss.  And they are all terribly difficult.  It’s a little disappointing because the Marluxia and Larxene events were so tailored to the individual members and their personalities, but Xemnas just gets “there are bosses, beat them fast”. Oh well…

Your reward is Xemnas B, a tier 3 guilt AOE Power with x3.10 and PSM down one tier for one turn.  Here’s a picture.  He’s only a bit better than Saïx for five bars instead of four and there’s not a very good place for Reversed Power on keyblades anyway.  Honestly, if I were you, I’d skip the event altogether.

To guilt this medal, you will need a buff clear medal (see Alice, Belle, etc.).  That’s not negotiable.  You will need DB3 or Second Chance and you absolutely, 100% will need iKairi.  If you don’t have at least one GDD (iXion, Meg, etc.) - probably two - you’re not going to get far.  Lastly, you’ll very likely spend jewels since none of the requirements are one-turn.

So let’s get down to it.  The layout is as follows:

Stage number.) Level of enemy Enemy name (Type +Additional health bars) +buffs
Complete in under this many seconds for reward - reward

1.) Lv. 50 Possessors (M)
40 seconds - HDL

2.) Lv. 75 Playing Cards (S +2)
50 seconds - MM

3.) Lv 100 Enraged Elk (P +9) + 3 P-Def
75 seconds - Xemnas

4.) Lv. 125 Queen Bee (M +24)
70 seconds - HDL

5.) Lv. 150 Cerberus (P +2) +2 PSM-Str
45 seconds - Xemnas

6.) Lv. 175 Wretched Witch (M) +1 S-Def
45 seconds - MM

7.) Lv. 200 Savage Spider (P +29) Sleep/Paralyze/Poison
90 seconds - MM

8.) Lv. 225 Guard Armor (S +46) +2 Def
180 seconds - Xemnas

9.) Lv. 250 Huge Snowman (M +43) +3 PSM-Def (+3 PSM-Str on turn 3)
200/230 seconds - Hairstyle

10.) Lv. 270 Behemoth (P +46) (builds P-Str)
180 seconds - Xemnas

11.) Lv. 280 Trickmaster (M +47)
180 seconds - Xemnas

12.) Lv. 290 Darkside Omega (S +64) +1 Def/+1 Str/Poison
180 seconds - Xemnas

13.) Lv. 300 Gummi Hound (S +59) +1 Str/+1 P-Str
180 seconds - Xemnas / 210 seconds - Title: No. I

Specifically, the thirteenth stage, the Gummi Hound uses a one-hit raid mechanic after 35 hits.  You’ll either need second chance or use jewels to beat it, because I don’t see how someone would beat this in 35 hits.

The last three are all going to require an insane amount of luck or a few continues because they all one-hit.  When you’re racing the clock, you’ll want to stack as many GDD and J&S medals as possible on top of iKairi and one hardcore damage medal.  One medal with APP will get you all your SP back, so Key Art isn’t necessary.  Use your friend slot for high damage, even though they don’t benefit from multiplier slots.  Using Sleep+ also works but it’s tenuous at best.

Honestly this whole event is insane.  After so many “for the people!” events like Donald, Goofy, and Larxene, I’m not surprised they made a challenging one.  But this reminds me of that level 500 ghost around Halloween that almost no one completed.  Working around the mechanics of things like the Marluxia event make sense to me as a gamer, but this event and its requirements is very strictly for the best of the best.  It’s a little alienating, especially for such a subpar medal.

People with more in-depth boss strategies, please put them in the comments!  I still can’t beat Mission 12 (I got a lot of this info from my roommate who spent over 1000 jewels), so we’ll see how it goes!

Anyway.  Good luck!
