This is video #167 in my Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days playthrough. Mission 91 to escape from the Castle that Never Was has two Challenges and one Mission Mode version available. Roxas first does the regular Mission 91 Challenge. To earn all three Challenge Sigils, Roxas can only take a maximum of ten hits. He cannot use either recovery magic or recovery items, and the enemy level is increased by 20. On the way to Saïx, it is best to avoid all the normal fights. Obviously, running in to hack and slash Saïx is a very bad idea. It is easy to take more than ten hits during this mission, and considering the nature of the attacks, Roxas may die before taking ten blows. It is better to rely mainly on Fire and Thundaga while Saïx is in berserk mode. When he teleports away, it is a good time to toss a Fire in his direction. During Saïx's normal mode, it is a little safer to use physical attacks, but the berserker still requires caution.

At time index 10:03, Roxas begins preparing for the Mission 91sp Challenge. He embarks on the challenge at time index 11:58. To earn all three Challenge Sigils here, Roxas must complete the mission within 1:55. The enemy level is increased by 25, and Roxas's health decreases over time. Oh, boy. As in many other time-limit challenges against tough enemies, my strategy is to spam Limit Breaks on Saïx. Naturally, this can get Roxas killed quickly if he's careless. It also partly depends on the attacks that Saïx chooses to use. Saïx will take a lot of damage in normal mode, but if he starts to block Roxas's attacks, back off for a moment. Normal Cure spells and Limit Recharges will be helpful here. This may take a few tries, but it will not be too hard.

At time index 15:15, we prepare for doing Mission 91 in Mission Mode. I will use Axel for this; I thought it would be nice to have Axel give the beat-down to his old buddy. We start the mission at 20:05. The Mission Mode version starts at Nothing's Call. Here, the boss is actually Anti-Saïx, a shadowy lookalike for Saïx. The reward for completing this mission in Mission Mode the first time is 10 Mission Crowns. Definitely worth the trouble, I'd say.

Thank you for watching!
