This is a very tough fight at LV1. Even if you know how to dodge all his attacks you can still easily die. The worst part, by far, is the fireball attack. Equip fire armor if you're not going for no damage, as it will help keep you alive. If you don't care about getting hit, use Hero's Crest to cause more damage. If you don't want to get hit, you'll need Rumbling Rose.
So when the fight starts, run up to him and go as low as you can. He'll spin around always. Right before he stops spinning, two towers will come at you. If you move up right before he stops spinning, and back down, they'll pass you. Then you can just combo his stomach as quickly as you can until he is stunned. Then you proceed to combo the head once, and then do the RC, and then start another combo.
After he starts up again, cast Reflera so he can't stun you. Then as fast as you can, take out the stomach again. If you're too slow, you'll have to cast Reflera or you'll get smacked. After doing the head attacks once again, don't waste Reflera, let him stun you, you don't get damaged. You'll get get teleported into the dark windy world or whatever. Stay high and to the back for most of it. Guard works fine if they're coming towards you. If you want to use Reflera you can too, but I wouldn't recommend it. Move forward right before he teleports you out.
Now this is the hard part. You have to go full speed right to his stomach and right before you get to it, start mashing Reflera. If you do this wrong you'll probably die, or barely scrape by with HP left. This is what you'll want Rumbling Rose for. 2 Reflera finishers will take out the stomach, but the 3rd one will ensure you don't take damage while the second Reflera is taking out the rest of its HP. But like I said, if you don't care about getting hit, and you have fire armor, you can survive getting hit once by them, provided you have most of your HP.
Difficulty for normal LV1 win: ******
Difficulty for LV1 no damage: *******
So yes, very tough fight. You'll need to have mastered the carpet riding to pull this off at LV1. And yea, most of this was Apul's strategy, only because you can't really do anything else. You can die very easily on this fight, good luck when you get to it.

Q: How do you stay Level 1?
A: In Critical Mode in KH2FM, you are given an EXP 0 ability at the beginning of the game. Equipping it makes it so you don't gain experience. Drive Forms aren't affected by it, so you can still level those up.
Q: What's Critical Mode (CM)?
A: Critical Mode is the new difficulty mode in KH2FM. It's basically slightly harder than a low level Proud Mode challenge.
Q: Hey how come you have (Insert ability here) at level 1 when you get (insert same ability here) at (insert KH2 required level here).
A: In KH2FM, they switched some abilities around and made some where you don't have to level up to gain them. A perfect example is the Scan ability.
Q: How can you do 2 finishers so early on in the game?
A: Just like with the EXP 0 ability, you're also given a Finishing Plus ability at the start of the game. So you can do 1 normal finisher + a second finisher.
Q: How come I hear English voices if this is KH2FM? I thought it was Japanese!
A: KH2FM has English voices with Japanese text. Simple as that, I don't know why people can't grasp that.
Q: How can I get KH2FM and how would I get it to run on my PS2?
A: If you have the fat PS2, like me, get Swap Magic + a Slide Card. I got the Swap Magic 3.6 + Slide Card deal at thegiantstore.com. I also bought KH2FM at play-asia.com
Q: How come your stats increase if you're level 1?
A: You get bonus level stat ups from beating scripted fights. For example, some give you HP+, MP+, Strength +1, Defense +1, etc. If this didn't happen, then it would be near impossible to do a LV1 playthrough.
Q: Hey is this Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix?
A: You're an idiot, get off the internets.
