    Hey there!
    For everyone who has problems to do speedster combined with not changing equipment and dont use continues thanks to the time pressure so that you cant level up much: there is a "glitch" you can use for beating the final boss within 15 hours without much effort!! (I know that some dont have issues, this is for everyone struggling!)

    The timer of Kingdom Hearts 1.5 is a simple 6 diggets one. So it can just show a time of 00:00:00 to 99:99:99. We can use this mechanic to just play the first playthrough in which we farmed everything and so on until the timer jumps from 99:99:99 back to 00:00:00. Then you can kill the final boss easily with the best weapons and a full level Sora, Goofy and Donald in no time. The achievement is popping 100%, just did it now (08.03.2020; 9:15).

    I hope I could help you guys out!

    Two small informations to let the timer reach 100 hours without having to play acitve in a data without having to do anything, you can use a play and charge kit to evade the controller disconnects from the XBox One and a rubber band in the room before the final boss to let Sora run in a random direction to evade the XBox One from activate the screensaver (if the screensaver is on, the timer stops). This way you can get about 10 hours over night. (I know, this isn't a nice way for the nature, but EVERY achievement hunter did things like this in certain games to achieve stupid achievements! ^^)

    odiedodieHow does allowing 100 hours to lapse help with the non continues or equipment changes

    LightningSouleIf you don't have to hurry, you have more time to farm, to level up and so on. If you only have 15 hours it tougher to combine this achievement with the others.

    TLDR: Beat the game before the IN GAME CLOCK hits 15 Hours.

    LightningSoule's trick is great but fortunately Kingdom Hearts is pretty short IF you know what you're doing. Especially if you go for Undefeated at the same time. 15 hours is plenty, but that doesn't mean it'll be easy.

    When the game released on PS3 I ended up getting this and Undefeated at the same time on Final Mix but if you want to make things easier you can play on the easiest difficulty. I'd recommend that honestly.

    Here's a short list of things I did that helped:

    -In Dive to the Heart, go glass cannon. Pick the sword, sacrifice the shield. Yes, you'll lose some defense points but the time saved beating heartless is worth it. Also pick the first answers for the question portion. This will make you level up faster, thus removing the need for grinding.

    -Only use one save slot. When you use more than one it loads the other saves every time you go into the save screen.

    -If you need to pause the game for a significant amount of time, press the home button. This not only halts the game, but also stops the in game clock. Also useful for if you forget solutions to puzzles.

    -If you die don't choose "continue". When you die and choose "continue" the clock continues ticking, and it sends you back. Loading your game after dying sets the clock back to that last save.

    -Avoid sidequests such as Synthesis and Hundred Acre Wood. The game can be beaten without touching either.

    -In the first set of worlds, Skip Olympus Collissum. It's completely optional and you only need to beat Wonderland and Deep Jungle to move on.

    -In the second set of worlds, after beating Agrabah and Monstro go to Halloween Town and skip Atlantica. You gain High Jump while going through Monstro making navigation much easier. Locking Halloween Town gives you the Gravity spell which will be your best friend against high HP heartless in Neverland and Hollow Bastion. After completing both you now have access to Neverland.

    Other than that I don't have any other advice that wouldn't be me repeating tips everyone else says. Hopefully this helps people.

    TheFlaxen AngelFinished a frustrating 7 hour beginner run, so thought I'd leave a few tips.
    1. Sacrifice Magic not Shield at the start of the game, you only need cure and aero for this run and mp has minimal use as you will be using items liberally. Whereas the extra defense combined with aero will mean you are never in danger of being 4 hit KO'D in the final battles.
    2. Use your items. Even speed runninig through this and avoiding any out of the way treasure chests you will have between 3-5 elixirs and megalixirs. If you are going for the Undying and unchanging armour achievements then keep an elixir in your inventory at all times for emergencies. Squall gives you an elixir if you beat him at the start of the game in Traverse Town and is worth getting.
    3. You can skip the Coliseum and Atlanta and you deffenitely should, skipping Atlanta will likely save you around a half hour of playtime.
    4. Summon tinkerbell during group boss fights, she is the only useful summon for this run and is a get out of jail free card. In the end game fights you can summon if you can find a place to land, like the base of the mountain.
    5. Use your air combo! It is far faster than your ground combo meaning more DPS.
    6. This run does not get challenging until you hit the final world. I left hollow bastion at level 35 and around 5 hours on the clock so you have a LOT more time than you think if you play fast early and skip cutscenes.
    7. Use your invincibility frames. Dodge roll and later Cure with leaf bracer will let you avoid attacks.
    8. Dont waste time farming, while time is not that tight if you spend an hour farming in a few worlds then you will be racing the clock. There is no need to farm enemies as the boss fights will provide enough exp. Just dodge roll from area to area.
