** Turn on the "Deadly Blow" EZ Code, turn all allies' AI to "hands off" and enter a room with lots of grounded enemies, such as the room in the factory that had electrified storage boxes. Drop to the ground and use Scream Strike at the group of enemies ahead - the initial roar should defeat most of them, while Mike's rolling should finish off any stragglers.

=== PRO Code tips ===
=== PRO Code tips ===
* It is possible to achieve the highest merit rank by defeating Yozora, all thirteen data battles, and either Dark Inferno or the final boss with almost all PRO Codes on for each, however that is a monumental task. Instead, it is recommended to start a New Game+ playthrough on Beginner for the larger HP and MP pool, and to transfer the [[Ultima Weapon]] and [[Grand Chef]] [[Keyblade]]s from a previous completed save file. Try to defeat all base game bosses as well as Re Mind's Armored Xehanort with all PRO Codes on - doing so will earn a total of 175,000 points before starting the data battles, allowing for some flexibility in the last few fights.

* The codes only need to be on for bosses that add score. Some bosses, such as most of the Skein of Severance fights, will not add score. This also means that codes do not need to be on when fighting regular enemies. As such, Sora can breeze through normal enemies by using Links, Formchanges, Shotlocks, etc.
* The goal is to defeat all base game bosses as well as Re Mind's Armored Xehanort with as much PRO Codes as possible. With all PRO Codes on, doing so will earn a total of 175,000 points before starting the data battles, allowing for some flexibility in the last few fights.
* While the restrictions imply healing is unavailable, Sora can still heal with the [[Wizard's Ruse]] ability on [[Wisdom Ring]]s and Grand Chef. Each time Sora casts magic with this ability equipped, even if the magic does not hit anything, there is a chance Sora will recover HP equal to the MP spent. The ability can stack up to three times, increasing the chance of a heal up to 50%.
* The codes only need to be on for bosses that add score. They do not need to be on against regular enemies and some bosses, such as most of the Skein of Severance fights, meaning Sora can use Links, Formchanges, and Shotlocks among other options outside the bosses that add score.
** Another source of healing is the [[HP Walker]] ability from the [[Forest Clasp]], which is obtained by doing all four special interactions with Rapunzel before reaching the shore in Kingdom of Corona. The healing from this is not very high or very fast, but it can be useful for bosses that give Sora a lot of time to walk around.
* While Cure magic and battle items are disabled via PRO Codes, Sora can still heal through other ways:

** [[MP Haste]] abilities, as well as [[MP Walker]] from the [[Laughter Pin]] obtained in Monstropolis, can help speed up MP recharge for more magic casts.

* Use any stat boost items such as Defense Boost or Strength Boost on Sora immediately. These stats will remain even while the Default Status code is on. AP Boosts can be ignored due to the Ability Limit code - Sora will often have more AP than he can actually use, even without AP Boosts.

** [[Sköll]]'s dark sun move requires defeating the smaller wolf heads to trigger Marshmallow's Situation Command. If possible, it is advised to save some Thunder spells for this moment. If MP recharge is ongoing, Sora will need to Airstep to the wolf heads and defeat as many as possible, as quickly as possible.

* The following few data battles should be done first with all PRO Codes on, as they are easier than the rest:
** Fight Luxord first with all PRO Codes turned on. His fight is essentially a series of mini-games rather than attacking Sora much, so the difficulty is not much higher than without codes. However, equip HP Walker instead of Wizard's Ruse, as there are not many safe opportunities to use magic on him, but there are lots of opportunities for Sora to walk around.

** After Luxord, Young Xehanort is fairly easy as his HP pool is small, all but one of his attacks can be blocked, and his ultimate moves can be skipped extremely quickly.

* From here, there is a good amount of flexibility to turn off a few codes, to make the remaining fights easier. The total PRO Code merit score should now be about 225,000 points.

** The goal is 365,125 points, so assuming one doesn't want to fight Xion and Master Xehanort, the remaining 9 data fights will need to grant a minimum of 15,570 points each. Since data battles have a base of 500 points and each star is worth 1.25x that, this means each PRO Code star equates to 625 points. Therefore, each of the remaining battles will require at least 25 stars' worth of codes turned on (15,625 each). For comparison, a full score with all codes is 40 stars, meaning up to 15 stars' worth of codes can be turned off per fight. Earning more than these milestones in any fight will add some leeway for the ones left.

** Alternatively, if one wants to continue fighting bosses with all PRO Codes on, then only 5 more need to be defeated, and the last would only need 25 stars' worth of codes (15,625 points).
