Hostile Program: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 02:54, 20 April 2016

Template:Enemy The Hostile Program is a computer virus created by the Master Control Program that appears in Kingdom Hearts II. It serves as a boss during Sora's first visit to Space Paranoids.

Story

The Hostile Program is deployed by the MCP's number two, Sark, to defeat Tron and Sora. It causes trouble in both the computer and user worlds.

Design

The Hostile Program is large and robotic in appearance. It has a smooth, oval-shaped upper body that is indigo in coloration and lined with light grey and red computer circuitry. Nine red, conical spikes protrude from the upper body, and an opening on the front side of it reveals the Hostile Program's three glowing, yellow eyes, which are arranged in a triangular pattern. A smaller opening appears just below this one.

The Hostile Program's lower body is small, predominantly silver, and lined with indigo and red circuitry. It ends in four small, silver appendages.

This enemy's arms are not attached to its body. Instead, they hover at its sides. The arms are translucent, violet tubes with pink spikes in them. The Hostile Program has grey "elbows" lined with indigo and red circuitry, and both its hands end in three pink, squared-off fingers with black and red circuitry on them.

The Hostile Program's name reflects its nature as a computer program tasked with eliminating Sora and his friends.

Battle

Strategy

The battle against the Hostile Program is relatively straightforward. Sora must first collect the clusters that drop whenever he attacks the boss until a gauge is filled. He must then use the "Freeze" reaction command to temporarily immobilize the Hostile Program. After a short while, the boss comes to and forces Sora to repeat this process from square one.

To deal as much damage to the Hostile Program as possible while it is incapacitated, Sora should rely on his Drive Forms and Tron's "Setup" Limit. The Hostile Program's laser attacks can be avoided with relative ease through a combination of well-timed jumps and dodges, but when the boss starts charging around the battlefield, Sora must run to the center of the area to avoid taking damage.

In the original, PlayStation 2 version of Kingdom Hearts II, Sora can use the Explosion ability to exponentially increase the amount of orbs the Hostile Program drops when hit. A bug in the PlayStation 3's PlayStation 2 emulator causes the Hostile Program to become invincible, rather than fire lasers. This issue can be corrected via a bug fix available through the PlayStation Network.

-The Hostile Program is a large, robotic being with a smooth, oval-shaped main body. Its body is indigo and covered in light grey and red computer circuitry, as well as nine conical, red spikes. There is a small opening in the front of its body that exposes its three glowing, yellow eyes, arranged in a triangle pattern, and a silver opening just below this. Its lower body is much smaller and ends in four small, silver appendages. Its lower body is predominantly silver with indigo and red circuitry covering it. The Hostile Program’s arms are not connected to its body and instead hover at its sides. Its arms are translucent, violet tubes with pink spikes in them. The ends are grey and adorned by indigo and red circuitry. Both hands have three pink, squared-off fingers with black and red circuitry on them. Despite its resemblance to the various types of Heartless in Space Paranoids, the Hostile Program is one of the few bosses in ''Kingdom Hearts II'' that is both original to the series and not an incomplete being, although it is based on the local Heartless.

-===''Kingdom Hearts II''===
-Upon realizing the threat of [[Tron]] and [[Sora]], the Master Control Program had [[Sark]] deploy a special program virus called the Hostile Program. It caused chaos for the computer world as well as the real world in [[Hollow Bastion]]. After defeating the Hostile Program, Tron gives Sora the [[Photon Debugger]] Keychain.
-==Strategy==
-Due to a bug in the Playstation 3's Playstation 2 emulator, the Hostile Program would become invincible instead of firing lasers. There is an available bugfix for this error on the Playstation Network.
-The Hostile Program is quite a simple boss. Collect the clusters which drop until the gauge is maxed out, then use the "Freeze" Reaction command. The Hostile Program will then stop momentarily.
-Switch into a Drive Form and begin unleashing the strongest attacks. A simple strategy would be to use Tron's "Setup" Limit command, as the Hostile Program is quite weak against this attack.
+The Hostile Program's lower body is small, predominantly silver, and lined with indigo and red circuitry. It ends in four small, silver appendages.
-The Hostile Program's first attack is conjuring energy orbs that will zig-zag across the room. The Hostile Program will also shoot at Sora with rapid laser blasts, these can easily be avoided. Once the Hostile Program has taken enough damage, it will lose its armor and begin to charge around the room several times, so quickly run to the center.
+This enemy's arms are not attached to its body. Instead, they hover at its sides. The arms are translucent, violet tubes with pink spikes in them. The Hostile Program has grey "elbows" lined with indigo and red circuitry, and both its hands end in three pink, squared-off fingers with black and red circuitry on them.
-Its second attack is emitting laser beams from its hands. This attack is slow, but Sora will need to avoid them. A second occasion is when the Hostile Program sends these beams swarming all over the place. It can be tricky to avoid, so watch the pattern carefully. Try dodging and jumping, although this does not guarantee an escape without being hit.

-If they begin spinning around the room, jump to dodge. If they begin to move in a vertical motion, wait until Sora is able to pass underneath them and get out of its path. When they start spinning around the room quickly, this can be difficult to dodge. Because this battle requires to collect orbs, equip Explosion<!--Original version only-->. This easily increases the amount of orbs that drop.
