Twitch streamer AaroneousGaming has been on a mission to get to max level in the Kingdom Hearts games without leaving the starting the area. He calls the challenge the Early Game Grind, and in the past, he's managed to reach level 100 on Destiny Islands in the first Kingdom Hearts, and level 99 as Roxas in Kingdom Hearts 2's Twilight Town area. Now AaroneousGaming has tackled the most recent game in the Kingdom Hearts series, Kingdom Hearts 3, reaching the level 99 cap without leaving the first world.

The first world in Kingdom Hearts 3 is Olympus, based on Disney's Hercules animated film. Unlike the starting worlds for the first two Kingdom Hearts games, there is actually a lot for AaroneousGaming to do in Olympus, and so the grind wasn't quite as dull this time around. There's a wide variety of enemies to fight, special moves that Sora obtains early on, and even a boss fight to cap the whole thing off. However, players have to revisit Olympus after completing it the first time to explore most of its extra content, like finding the Lucky Emblems and opening all of the treasure chests.

Even though there are more enemies to fight in the first Kingdom Hearts 3 world than there is, say, Destiny Islands in Kingdom Hearts, it still took AaroneousGaming a significant chunk of time to reach level 99 in Olympus. In total, it took over 284 hours before he was finally done, and the moment literally brought him to tears live on Twitch.

Now that AaroneousGaming has reached his goal of hitting the level cap in Kingdom Hearts, Kingdom Hearts 2, and Kingdom Hearts 3 without leaving the first world, it's unclear what's next for his Twitch channel. Perhaps he will take a break from the Kingdom Hearts franchise and come up with some other ridiculous feat for another video game franchise. Or maybe he will find a new way to challenge himself and entertain his viewers with the Kingdom Hearts games.

And when the inevitable Kingdom Hearts 4 comes out, maybe we will see him return to this challenge yet again. Fans will just have to stay tuned.

Kingdom Hearts 3 is out now for PS4 and Xbox One.
