Boss Strategies of Kingdom Hearts 1 ~ Clayton + Stealth Sneak

I just barely started a replay of the original Kingdom Hearts game, and I've got to say that after all these years of playing the game, I am still frustrated at the final boss fight of Deep Jungle. How is it that there is such an incredibly hard boss so early in the game? Clayton and the Stealth Sneak offer such a hard challenge that I usually give up and try again a day or two later. Not this time.

I kind of figured out a little trick that I hadn't known about the last 10+ times that I've fought the Clayton and Stealth Sneak combo. Normally I go in, keyblade blazing, and just whacking the crap out of the Heartless until Clayton falls of, which actually makes the battle harder, because you have two targets instead of just one. So this time I was just goofing around and spamming blizzard like a madman on the Heartless, and to my surprise Clayton stayed on, instead of falling off like he normally does. This was surprising, because the Shadow Sneak's health was below half and I wasn't dying.

Eventually I completely ran out of magic and ethers so I had to rely on whacking the beast with the good ol' Kingdom Key. After a final combo hit, Clayton flew off and the Stealth Sneak was more than half-way dead. So I continued whittling down the Heartless's health until it was gone, which wasn't too difficult and then I focused entirely of Clayton, obviously. Without time for him to use one of his potions from his infinite stock because I was using Fire like a boss, and continuously smacking him around, the fight went by pretty quickly.

There you have it, I hope this was helpful and you might be able to use the information here to help rid Deep Jungle of those horrible creatures.


And by the way, Merry Christmas! I hope you got all the good stuff on your wish list.
