Kingdom Hearts III Modder Makes Anti-Aqua Battle More Challenging

The Anti-Aqua battle in Kingdom Hearts III is one of my favorite sequences in the series for a myriad of reasons, yet one area where it falls short is its difficulty. Like Kingdom Hearts II, Kingdom Hearts III is an unchallenging experience sans Critical Mode, so several story fights are potentially sapped of intimidating impact.

Thankfully, prominent modder TrueBlade Seeker has taken it upon themselves to make this battle more complex and demanding. Numerous aspects of this fight have been altered, such as projectiles being far more plentiful, Aqua’s ice crystals remaining for extended periods of time, and more.

Further, Aqua’s finishing combo strike has been implemented, with each of Anti-Aqua’s clones able to perform the maneuver simultaneously. It’s undoubtedly fairly designed, and TrueBlade Seeker’s efforts here are professional-level. The story-required Re Mind iteration of the battle was also slightly changed.

You can download this mod, view installation instructions, and more via its dedicated Nexus Mods page.

In Kingdom Hearts IV, Sora is in Quadratum with Strelitzia, a prominent character from Kingdom Hearts Union χ. This setting is an afterworld for the two characters following their tragic fates. Additionally, this new saga has been titled the Lost Master Arc. Further, some combat footage was showcased, with Sora performing Keyblade transformations against a giant entity that seems to be a Heartless? We don’t know for sure.
