Basic Idea:
To defeat all of the Bosses in Kingdom Hearts, you need to have a vague
idea on the right strategy to use. Before a battle, always stock up your
party's Items and put on the best Armor you have. If a Boss likes using
Fire based attacks, then put on Fire Protection Armor. Also putting 'Aero'
and 'Cure' on your short-cut list, (press L1 then Triangle, Circle or X
for the desired Spell) and don't forget to check your Abilities and Weapons.
When a battle begins, casting Aero is pretty much a necessity! However if
a battle is quite easy, then don't bother, it's a waste of precious MP!
Dodge Roll is also essential for all of these Bosses. (Except Guard Armor
and anything before him, because you don't have it then.) At the start of
a battle, go straight in for the attack.
But remember, don't attack an enemy at the front, attacking around the sides
and even the back, is still doing damage and doesn't leave you vunerable
for a Counter-Attack! Blocking their attacks by pressing Square when Sora
has the abillity "Guard" equipped is useful, and don't forget
if you don't have Guard or don't have it equipped, you can block their physical
attack by hurling your sword at them just as they're about to strike. (Doesn't
work on elemental attacks. Duh!)
Cure is vital for any boss beyond Deep Jungle, so use it often. If you're
low on MP, then use Items to restore it, or attack enemies to regain MP.
Some enemies also drop HP Balls, so pick them up to restore HP. If you're
in a very hard battle and you want to use an Item to restore HP, but you
also have to keep moving around, or you'll get hit, then instead of using
the D-Pad, use the Right Analog stick to scroll down to the Item you want,
simple! Also, once you have Scan equipped, when you're fighting a boss,
for every 300 HP that they have, that's one more bar added to their HP etc...
The HP bar colours are as follows:
1 - 300 HP - Green Bar
301 - 600 HP - Yellow Bar
601 - 900 HP - Orange Bar
901 - 1200 HP - Red / Brown Bar
1201 HP + - Purple Bar
Abbreviations: Here's a quick list of abbreviations which may be
used in this Guide: HP - Hit Points (A characters Health; when it runs out,
it's Game Over!) MP - Mana Points (A characters spell points; when it runs
out, you can't cast any spells) EXP - Experience Points (The Points needed
to go up a Level) LVL - Level (A characters Level; how strong they are)
A.S.A.P. - As Soon As Possible! D-Pad - Directional Pad (The up, down, left
and right buttons on your PS2 Controller) PS2 - Playstation 2 (Duh! ^_^)
All Bosses in this List are roughly in order of appearence. (Except the
Olympus Coliseum, and any Optional Bosses, which are at the bottom of the
page.)

| The Beginning |
 Darkside
I
HP - 240
Difficulty - 1/10
Recommended LVL - N/A
As this is the first boss, he is undoubtably the easiest, despite
his size!
Just Lock on to one of his hands, and hack away at it. Sometimes
he will lower his head a little, at that point you can just about
jump up at hit it. After a while he will use an attack by plunging
on of his hands into the ground, which allows Shadoess to come out
and fight you.
Just ignore them unless you're low on HP, as if you kill one, it
drops HP Balls, (green orbs) which raises your HP by a little.
So after attacking the hands for a bit, this big guy will go down
easy!

 Selphie
(Optional)
HP - N/A
Difficulty - 1/10
Recommended LVL - 5+
This is an optional battle on Trinity Islands, talk to Selphie twice
to initiate. It's not a battle to the death, so if you lose, you won't
get a Game Over. She's not too hard so give it all you've got! When
she twirls the rope, either dodge or deflect it back at her.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
 Tidus
(Optional)
HP - N/A
Difficulty - 1/10
Recommended LVL - 6+
This is an optional battle on Trinity Islands, talk to Tidus twice
to initiate. It's not a battle to the death, so if you lose, you won't
get a Game Over. Although a little harder than Selphie, his attacks
are very predictable and should be an easy win. All you have to do
is run around, until he comes running after you, then quickly turn
around and attack him the same time as he attacks you. That then deflects
his attack, gives you 2 Tech points, and also gives you a chance to
attack him afterwards. With practice, you can deflect him every time!
About halfway through the battle, Tidus may use a very strong attack,
that you can deflect or dodge, but if it hits you, will do a lot of
damage. If you do deflect/dodge it, he stands around shaking his hand,
giving you a perfect opportunity to attack!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
 Wakka
(Optional)
HP - N/A
Difficulty - 1/10
Recommended LVL - 7+
This is an optional battle on Trinity Islands, talk to Wakka twice
to initiate. It's not a battle to the death, so if you lose, you won't
get a Game Over. Wakka attacks you with a Blitzball, (just like in
FFX) which is very hard to deflect and takes some practice. So try
hitting the Ball back at him first, before you run in and attack like
crazy. After you manage to deflect a ball back at him, he will become
dazied, which is when you run in and start to attack. After a while
he may use a powered up Blitzball and throw it at you. This causes
a lot of damage, so dodge or, (if you're feeling lucky) hit it back
at him just as he throws it.

 Riku
(Optional)
HP - N/A
Difficulty - 2/10
Recommended LVL - 8+
This is an optional battle on Trinity Islands, talk to Riku twice
to initiate. It's not a battle to the death, so if you lose, you won't
get a Game Over. This one's pretty tough. If you fall off the Island
you battle on, you'll automaticly lose, so be careful! Riku has quite
a few attacks, when you attack him, and he crouches into a ball, don't
keep attacking! Run to the side, so when he springs up, he won't hit
you. It causes a lot of damage, so you need to be careful of that
too! When he teases you run behind him and attack, if you attack from
the front, he'll block you. Also if you manage to attack him for a
bit, he may counterattack with his sword, so watch out for that as
well! After beating him a cople of times, you'll get the hang of it.
You also get a Potion if you win, which are very good things to stock
up on.

 Selphie,
Tidus and Wakka (Optional)
HP - N/A
Difficulty - 2/10
Recommended LVL - 9+
This is an optional battle on Trinity Islands, on the second day,
talk to Tidus twice to initiate. It's not a battle to the death, so
if you lose, you won't get a Game Over. For this battle, the key is
to attack them seperately, don't let them surround you! I recommended
going for Wakka or Selphie first, Wakka because he throws balls at
you wherever you are, or Selphie if you want to go from easiest to
hardest. Use the same tactics as above, or just slash at them until
they're KO'd. Potions are essential for this battle, so make sure
you have at least two before battling! If you can't decide who to
go for first, try attacking one, and then when he/she's has stopped
for a minute, (either by deflecting their weapon, or attacking them)
go to someone else, and so on until they're all KO'd. Good luck!

Darkside
II
HP - 200
Difficulty - 2/10
Recommended LVL - 10+
Darkside has returned, and he's as big as ever! However his strength
hasn't gone up much. Pretty much the same tactic as before; Locking
on to a hand, and hacking away at it, then attacking his head a little,
dodging his hand plunge into the ground, attacking Shadow Heartless
when low on HP, picking up HP Balls etc.. So after a little while
this big guy will go down as easy as he did before!

 Leon/Squall
HP - 120
Difficulty - 2/10
Recommended LVL: 10+
Win - Elixir.
Of course, if you haven't been leveling up on Destiny Islands, then
you're destined to lose. So, make sure you've leveled up before battling
Leon. For an easy win, just corner him. I cornered him near the rails
to the right of the Accessory shop that Cid owns. Just keep slashing
at him with all you've got in that corner. Deflecting his counterattacks
when necessary. Heal if he gets a few hits in. After a while, he will
use a Fire attack, so you might want to dodge that, it's quite nasty!
(In this battle it doesn't matter if you win or lose, if you win you'll
get an Elixir later on.)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
 Guard
Armor
HP - 700
Difficulty - 2/10
Recommended LVL: 12+
Win - You'll receive 'Dodge Roll', the spell 'Fire' and the ability
to use Blue Trinity from Donald and Goofy afterwards.
If you're below level 10 you will find this boss quite difficult!
My advice is when you're on Destiny Islands and all the Heartless
appear, don't run away from them, fight them. You need to level up.
Or before you fight GA, level up in District 2, going back to District
1 to save any progress or to restore HP/MP. Make sure you equip Sora
with lots of Potions and Elixers before this battle.
Donald and Goofy will already be stocked up. All of this Bosses body
parts can be destroyed. If you destroy the torso, then you've killed
the boss, but my advice to you is to get rid of the other body parts
first. So just focus on one part at a time, quite easy.
When each body part has been destroyed, it will release lots of HP
Balls, which you'll want to pick up! The feet have a deadly stomping
attack that you want to avoid at all costs, so when you see them lift
off into the air, run away as far away as possible. The arms and the
torso also have a deadly attack, they'll spin around fast, hitting
you and your party. Try to run out of the way.

Cards and the Tower
HP - N/A
Difficulty - 3/10
Recommeded LVL: 15+
To win this battle, you need to destroy the tower, not the Cards.
The tower is supporting Alice in the cage up in the air next to the
Queen of Hearts.
This battle is practicly impossible without Donald and Goofy, so if
the evidence is put against them and they're trapped in a cage, reset
the game and continue from your last Save Point and try picking the
right evidence.
You can't kill the Cards, you just knock them out for a short period
of time. But they can be quite annoying, so knock out a few is you
want to. Donald and Goofy will help you. (That is if you picked the
Heartless Shadow in the evidence boxes instead of Donald and Goofy.)
You need to lock onto one of the four gears in the tower and keep
slashing it with all you've got. After you destroy each part of the
Tower, it will release some HP Balls, to heal some HP. After the four
gears are gone, slash at the Tower a few for time to destroy it.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
 Trick
Master
HP - 600
Difficulty - 2/10
Recommeded LVL: 16+
Win - Navi-G Piece and Armor Ifrit's Horn.
You find the Trick Master in the Bizzare Room, after turning the lights
on when on the Bizzare Room Ceiling.
The battle is activated by talking to the Cheshire Cat. This boss
is a tall stick-paper-like thing that's black, red, purple and it
juggles. Before you enter the room, make sure everyone's stocked up
well with Potions and Elixirs, also having Fire protection is very
useful!
You need to lock onto TM and keep jumping up and slashing him with
fierce combos. When healing, run away from him, (under the table for
instance) and heal yourself with Potions before he gets to you.
Sometimes TM will break the table and chair, so be careful. Another
good time to attack is when TM's collapsed on the floor, as he won't
fight back! The triangle button is really handy in this battle because
Donald and Goofy might start defending a lot. (The triangle button
comands party members to attack the opponent that you're locked on.)
About midway through the battle, TM will light his sticks on the stove,
allowing him to attack you with fire. Which is why Fire Protection
is very important in this battle.

| Deep Jungle |
|
Sabor
HP - N/A
Difficulty - 2/10
Recommended LVL: 18+
No one would call this enemy a boss. It's a very easy battle. When
Sabor leaps at you, dodge roll out the way and then chase after him
and bash him with combos. Dodge roll is the key to defeating this
"boss". You'll encounter him randomly a lot after this battle.
(In the Camp Site, the Tree House and the Bamboo.) However this only
happens after certain events.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Stealth Sneak and Clayton
Clayton HP - 250 - Stealth Sneak HP - 750
Difficulty - 3/10
Recommended LVL: 19+
Recommended Party: Sora, Tarzan, Goofy
Win - The spell 'Cure'.
In the first half, it's just Clayton. Concentrate on him, dodging
his gun attacks, using magic on him is quite effective, but you still
have to get in there and fight! There are some heartless hanging about,
so if you're low on MP, attack them for a bit.
When Clayton's HP has 'gone', he'll blow up the cliff, revealing a
new area. Yep, it's not over yet! Then if you look carefully you'll
notice a blurry haze underneath Clayton, that's slowly rising; the
Stealth Sneak! The only threat in this battle is the Stealth Sneak
(The Invisible Chameleon).
Lock onto the Chameleon(Clayton will be riding it) and hit it with
deadly combos. When you get more then half of it's HP down, it should
become visable. Just keep attacking it and heal inbetween. Also dodge
roll out of the way of the Chameleon's deadly blue magic and attacks.
Once you've defeated the Stealth Sneak, you need to vanquish Clayton.
He's no major threat, he should be defeated in about 3 minutes or
less, just enough time to get a cup of tea afterwards. You will obtain
the spell 'Cure' which is vital for playing the game.

| Olympus Coliseum |
|
Cloud
HP - 300
Difficulty - 3/10
Recommended LVL: 22+
Win - Ability 'Sonic'.
Cup: Preliminaries.
To defeat Cloud, having 'Dodge Roll' equipped and/or have 'Glide'
from Neverland is essential! Make sure Donald and Goofy are well stocked
with Potions, Hi-Potions and Ethers. At the start Cloud will be holding
back, so just run up to him and slash him with combo's. He'll then
start using a deadly attack called 'Sonic' this attack gets very annoying
and he starts using it repeatedly, so when he does Sonic just Dodge
Roll or Glide out the way of the attack. Continue doing this little
strategy and heal frequently, the time to attack is when he jumps
up and drives his sword into the ground, you must Dodge Roll or Glide
out the way of this attack and then attack him while he's pulling
his sword out of the ground. Continue doing this until you defeat
him. After the battles against Cloud and Cerberus, exit the Lobby
and talk to Cloud to gain his ability 'Sonic'.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
 Cerberus
HP - 600
Difficulty - 4/10
Recommended LVL: 22+.
Win - Armor Inferno Band.
Cup: N/A
If you thought Darkside was big, you should see this beast! He's ENORMOUS!
A good time to do Cerberus is after you've completed Deep Jungle because
you'll have the spell 'Cure'. The first time you fight this beast,
is right after the fight with Cloud, see above. But there is a Save
Point in-between the battles so Save and protect against Fire and/or
Darkness. When you battle, lock onto a head, (it doesn't matter which
as they have joint HP) and attack with all you've got, using 'Dodge
Roll' when it attacks and Curing if you get hit. When it rears up
and starts pouring darkness out of it's mouth into the ground, 'Dodge
Roll' as fast as you can, because the darkness chases Sora around
the arena. When it finishes that, fireballs come out to play instead.
So just keep Dodging until it's over. It may also rear up and body
slam the ground, so you'll have to jump before the earth-waves hit
you. So the only chance of attacking is very rare. Good luck! You'll
obtain Inferno Band afterwards. (Written by FFFreak)

Opposite Armor
HP - 1305
Difficulty - 3/10
Recommended LVL: 20+
Win - The spell 'Aero'.
In my opinion, this form of Guard Armor is the easiest. Yeah, "in
my opinion". Okay, maybe it was easy because I was a very high
level. The only difference from the first one is more HP and after
the first half of the battle, it's body parts become opposites. (For
example, feet are now hands and vice versa.) Just use the normal technique
of combos and healing, for the first half. However, attacking each
body part in turn is essential. So don't go and try to do everything
at once. When his HP is half gone, the second half will commence.
But this time everything is the other way around! Keep doing what
you were doing before, but when his HP is half gone again, he'll switch
to blast-powerful-magic-at-Sora mode. Dodge it as much as you can,
then go in for the kill! (Remember that this time you have Dodge Roll,
so don't be afraid to use it.) After defeating OA, you will get the
spell 'Aero' and Sora will lock the Traverse Town Keyhole in the fountain.

Pot Centipede
HP - 600
Difficulty - 2/10
Recommended LVL - 23+
Recommended Party - Sora, Donald, Goofy.
Jasmine is captured in a rather ridiculous looking boss! So just slash
at either end of the 'centipede' as you won't do Jas any harm. But
when the ends of the centipede start to glow, then don't attack! Wait
a mo, kill some spider pots if you want, and when the centipede stops
glowing, start attacking again. It'll move around to different areas,
so you'll need to follow it at times. This boss isn't very hard, so
it'll be over before you know it, as long as you cure often. (Written

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
Tiger Head
HP - 380
Difficulty - 3/10
Recommended LVL - 24+
Recommended Party - Sora, Aladdin, Goofy.
When it slams its head in the ground, it's the time to act. Jump up
onto its head and lock onto an Eye, keep slashing at it and use abillities,
but try to stay on the head. If Donald and Goofy keep wondering off
and start attacking the enemies that jump off the Tiger Head, press
the Triangle button while locked onto an eye, and they should come
and help. Be careful of the strange beams that shoot out of the TH's
eyes, so keep Dodge Rolling out of the way. Don't bother with the
enemies wondering around, unless you need some HP Balls or to regain
MP. You'll want to heal Sora a lot in this battle, but not just Sora.
Remember, Donald and Goofy would appreciate being healed too. (Make
sure you have 'Cure' set as a Shortcut) Keep repeating the strategy
above on both eyes of the TH until you defeat it.

Jafar I
HP - 500
Difficulty - 4/10
Recommended LVL - 26+
Recommended Party - Sora, Aladdin, Donald
Win - The spell Blizzara.
For his first form, he moves around three ledges around the room,
which is VERY annoying! He also zaps red fire at you if you don't
move around enough, and if he's feeling really nasty, he'll whisk
ice around the room, (stay out of the way by going into the middle
of the room, staying to the edges of the room, or standing on a ledge)
which hurts a lot! If you get too near Genie, he'll attack you, but
it's very weak and it even gives you HP Balls! Casting Aero on yourself
is a must, but you'll want to conserve your MP as much as you can.
Get in as many attacks as you can and this battle is over in no time!
You will recieve 'Blizzara' after defeating the first form of Jafar.

Jafar II (Genie form)
HP - N/A
Difficulty - 3/10
Recommended LVL - 26+
Recommended Party - Sora, Aladdin, Goofy
Win - Ansem's Report #1 and spell 'Fira'.
Before jumping down the hole to fight Jafar#2, go back to the treasure
room, save, equip more Items, protection against Fire and switch Donald
for Goofy, you'll need less magic for this one. Ok, jump down the
hole to initiate the next battle. For this boss, you need to concentrate
on Iago and the lamp, rather than the massive red Genie in the boiling
pit of Lava! So lock on to the parrot, and start attacking, unfortunately
he will move around and you have to follow. Another downside is that
the floor moves up and down, stranding you in one area for longer
than you really wanted, or helping you reach Iago just in time! Yet
another downside is that Jafar throws huge boulders at you, which
you'll want to dodge as they do quite a bit of damage! So slash that
parrot and you'll do fine, just be careful of falling in the pit of
lava! ^_^ You will get Ansem's Report No. 1 and Fira after trapping
the evil Genie in the Lamp.

Parasite Cage I
HP - 450
Difficulty - 4/10
Recommended LVL - 28+
Recommended Party - Sora, Donald, Goofy
Win - Abilliy 'Cheer'.
The good thing with this battle is that you have 4 people in your
party, Sora, Riku, Donald and Goofy. It's a pretty good idea to stock
up with lots of Potions and Elixirs. This Boss lashes out at you with
its long arms and deals quite a bit of damage, it can only do this
attack when you're in front of it though. Lock onto the Parasite and
run to the sides of it, slash it with combos and magic (Fire) from
the side. This battle is over in a matter of minutes. This is just
the easy form though, the next one's a lot tougher. Oh yeah, and you
don't have Riku. After the battle you get Cheer Abillity for Goofy.

Parasite
Cage II
HP - 900
Difficulty - 5/10
Recommended LVL: 28+
Win - The spell 'Stop'.
There are platforms in this area that you need to jump across. The
bad thing is, you can't hide anywhere from this Boss, except behind
it ^_^. It will lash out at you with poison, which slowly reduces
your HP. So try not to stay in one place for too long. Potions, Mega
Potions and all that stuff is essential for this Boss. Cure is also
very useful too.
Lock onto the PC and start jumping from platform to platform until
you find yourself roughly behind the Parasite, jump onto the middle
platform where the Parasite is and use the same strategy as the first
time you battle this thing, but use a lot more 'Fire' magic. Summons
are quite useful too. Note: Don't fall off the platform and into the
green acid below, Sora's HP will slowly reduce otherwise. You will
obtain the spell 'Stop' after defeating Parasite Cage once and for
all.

 Shark
HP - N/A
Difficulty - 3/10
Recommended LVL: 30+
Recommended Party - Sora, Goofy and Ariel.
Win - Random prizes.
You encounter this meanie for the first time in the Sunken Ship. His
attacks are very damaging, so if he's facing you, swim around to the
side, then attack him. If the shark is distracted with Goofy and Ariel
attack from behind. swin away very fast if you need curing! Unfortunately,
after the first time, you'll encounter this beast several times in
different areas. (Written by FFFreak)

 Ursula,
Jetsam and Flotsam
HP - 450 (Ursula)
Difficulty - 6/10
Recommended LVL: 35+
Recommended Party - Sora, Donald and Ariel.
Win - Shared abillity 'Mermaid Kick'.
I found this Boss quite a hard one. She's also very time consuming.
You need to cast the correct spell that corresponds to the colour
of the Cauldron. For example, red = Fire, yellow = Thunder, and blue
= Blizzard. So the Cauldron will deflect the spell onto Ursula, stunning
her.
Then move in for the kill, lock onto her and attack her with deadly
combos and make sure you command Donald and Goofy to attack her as
well (press Triangle while locked on).
Watch out for her spinning attack as it hurts a lot and when you're
in need of some HP or MP, just whack those eels! (Flotsam and Jetsam
will respawn a while after knocking them out.)
Repeat this strategy until you defeat her.
Ariel will give your party the shared abillity Mermaid Kick.

 Ursula
II
HP - 900
Difficulty - 7/10
Recommended LVL: 36+
Recommended Party - Sora, Donald and Ariel.
Win - Ansem Report #3 and spell 'Thundara'.
Okay, this form of Ursula is horrendously ugly, huge and scary!
(Thank goodness I resized the picture to the left!!!)
Before you go to attack this boss Save at the closest Save Point you
can, then use Mermaid Kick at the place where the water rushes through
the tunnel really fast, and enter '???'.
OK, I take it back, Cerberus and Darkside are not as big as this FREAK!
She uses several deadly attacks; spitting out Bubbles, (how can that
hurt?) Thunder spell that reaches out a great distance; so keep moving,
Biting you, (gross!) and trying to suck you close to her face so she
can bite... (you'll need to swim as fast as you can in the opposite
direction when that happens!)
The best area of attack, is swimming to the back of her head, (this
is VERY hard) and just smashing with all you've got! You'll need to
cure a phenomenal amount during this fight, so use plenty of Items
or keep your MP up! The very best of luck with defeating Ursula! You'll
receive Ansem's Report No. 3 and Thundara after vanquishig that ugly
octopus (A.K.A Ursula ^_^).

Shock, Lock and Barrel
Lock HP - 150 - Shock HP - 120 - Barrel HP - 180
Difficulty - 5/10
Recommended LVL: 40+
Recommended Party - Sora, Donald and Goofy.
These little monsters fortunately aren't hard, in fact they're almost
easy! Just work on them one at a time, (for more EXP, defeat them
in this order; Shock, Lock and then Barrel) the only annoying thing
is that they keep jumping around, are hard to see, and have a habit
of dodging attacks. After the battle Save because there's a tough
one coming up...

 Oogie
Boogie I
HP - 450
Difficulty - 7/10
Recommended LVL: 32+
Recommended Party: Sora, Jack and Donald.
Win - Ansem's Report#7 and Armor Holl Circlet.
Oogie is a real toughie, although with practice, he'll seem as easy
as Lock, Shock and Barrel!
As soon as you enter through the Green Door, Ooogie, will throw you
onto a wheel of fortune kinda thing. The thing to do here, is follow
Oogie around, (he'll be on a raised platform though) and attack him
with long ranged magic and attacks.
When Heartless pop up, quickly finish them off. When one of Oogie's
traps pop come along, either run around dodging chainsaws, or dodge
roll under knives etc...
If you followed Oogie around the wheel successfully, when spikes come
up, your section of the wheel will be fenced off and will be raised
onto his platform. When this happens, jump over to him and hit him
with as much attack power as you have! It should only take two up
close attacks to beat him.
You will get Ansem's Report No. 7 and Holy Circlet after the battle.

Recommended LVL: 32+
Recommended Party: Sora, Jack and Donald.
Win - The spell 'Gravira'.
And to think you couldn't get any bigger than Ursula! To start off,
jump all the way down to the ground (don't worry Sora can survive
any jump, no matter how high!).
A lot easier then the Oogie Boogie's first form, but a pain to navigate
around. You need to run along the ledges and find the purple blobs.
When you find them, attack with all you've got. There are seven of
these blobs to find, so look everywhere!
You have all the time in the world, so explore for Items and defeat
the enemies. Remember that you can't come back here again afterwards.
Oh yeah, try not to fall off, it's a long way down, which means a
long climb back up. ^.~ Sora will receive the spell "Gravira"
after vanquishing the house and locking the Keyhole.

 Antisora
HP - 750
Difficulty - 7/10
Recommended LVL: 35+
Recommended Party: Sora, Peter and Donald.
Win - Armor: Raven's Claw.
I didn't like this Boss, he's an exact copy of Sora and he uses Sora's
exact same attacks. Since you're in Hook's Cabin it's quite hard to
Dodge Roll out of the way, so lock onto Shadow and attack him with
combos and abilities such as Sonic.
Don't bother with Donald or Peter in this battle, they'll most likely
get knocked out 5 minutes in, so before the battle equip Donald with
the abillities, Second Wind and Second Chance.
Then after a bit of slashing, parrying, (Square button) and dodging,
Antisora will "split" himself. You need to try and attack
the right Shadow, which gets very annoying. Using Thunder is a good
way to get rid of the clones though, as they will disappear in one
hit, making it a bit easier. Shadow can also disappear and re-appear
behind you, so always be on the look out. You'll be rewarded with
the Raven's Claw.

 Captain
Hook
HP - 900
Difficulty - 6/10
Recommended LVL: 38+
Recommended Party: Sora, Peter, Goofy.
Win - Ansem's Report#9 and Ability Ars Arcanum.
Not so much of a Boss, more like a difficult "enemy". There
are some flying Pirate Ships that you'll want to get out the way.
Once you've vanquished the enemies, use your flying abillity to your
advantage. Just whack Hook with some combos and abillities, it'll
be over in no time. Just beware of his high jumps and counterattacks!
Ansem's Report No. 9 and Ars Arcanum is your prize.

 Riku
I
HP - 900
Difficulty - 5/10
Recommended LVL: 38+
Recommended Party: Sora, Donald and Goofy (Beast gets trapped so
he can't help).
Win - White Trinity.
Definately the easiest Boss in Hollow Bastion, cast Aero on yourself
and save up the rest of our MP for your curing. Use the usual slash
and Dodge Roll technique. Of course you get your Keyblade back, so
it will deal damage. Don't get the wrong impression of Riku, he's
most definately not easy the second time you battle him. Note: Riku's
immune to magic. You'll learn the White Trinity when your finished.

 Maleficent
I
HP - 900
Difficulty - 7/10
Recommended LVL: 40+
Recommended Party: Sora, Donald and Goofy.
Win - Ansem's Report#5 and Ability 'Cheer'.
The competition's just got scarier! This battle's a bit like the battle
against Jafar first form, except this time it's a floating platform
and Maleficent has one deadly meteor attack!
There are a few Heartless roaming around, so if you need some HP Balls
or to regain MP, just kill a couple.
Lock onto Maleficent and if the floating platform's low enough, jump
onto it and slash Maleficent with Arcanum ect.. You might fall off
occasionally though. If the platform rises too high for Sora to get
on, then lock onto the platform and start slashing it with combos
until it falls.
When you hear Maleficent say something about Meteors, RUN LIKE HELL!
Then you need to quickly find a safe spot around the edges of the
circle (if she's down the little passageway), otherwise Meteors will
hit Sora dealing a lot of damage. If you do get hit you need to 'Cure'
as fast as you can. (Setting Cure as a shortcut will prove very useful.)
A summon such as Tinkerbell or Dumbo would be very useful here. You'll
be rewarded with Ansem's Report No. 5 and the abillity 'Cheer' for
Donald.

 Maleficent
II (Dragon form)
HP - 1200
Difficulty - 8/10
Recommended LVL: 42+
Recommended Party: Sora, Donald and Beast.
Win - Summon gem 'Fireglow'.
I never thought anything could get scarier then Maleficent's first
form, but I guess this big beast changes my mind! Before the battle,
you'll see a Save Point to the right of the dark portal, so Save!
And put on some Fire/Dark Protection! You most definately need to
cast Aero on yourself and Summon Tinkerbell for this battle. Sometimes
Maleficent breathes green fire on the ground, which hangs about for
a long time, so be careful.
Focus all you're attacks on the side of her head and avoid her attacks
as much as you can. Heal frequently because Tink doesn't always heal
you in time. Oh yeah, make sure you stock up with loads of High Potions
and Elixirs for this one. You'll get Fireglow (The final summon gem,
Mushu) after defeating her.

Riku
II (Ansem)
HP - 900
Difficulty - 8/10
Recommended LVL: 45+
Recommended Party: Sora (You only get Sora in your party.)
Win - Abillity 'Ragnarok'.
Argh! You'll never have a more annoying battle. Riku is so darn fast
and your space to move around is so small. Make sure that you have
tons of Hi-Potions and Elixirs stocked up for this battle (don't bother
with Mega-Ethers etc, as it'll only be Sora).
Cast Aero as soon as you can, then lock onto him straight away, otherwise
you'll no doubt lose track of him.
Dodge Roll (The mistake I made on my game) or Glide out of the way
of Riku's attacks.
He has a nasty attack like that of Cerberus' Darkness attack where
the darkness chases you shooting out of the ground. If you monitor
Riku's attack patterns you will figure out when it's the time to attack,
basically when he stops for a moment. Slash him with all you've got.
Arcanum, Sonic, Strike Raid ect. and heal more then frequently. You
definately need 'Cure' set as a shortcut for this battle or you'll
regret it. Block his sword attacks using 'Square', remember his attacks
hurt. You'll obtain the abillity 'Ragnarok' for Sora when you defeat
him.

 Behemoth
HP - 1350
Difficulty - 6/10
Recommended LVL - 46+
Recommended Party - Sora, Donald, and Goofy.
This battle is overall very easy compared to previous battles. It's
only vunerability is it's horn, so lock on to it and jump up, by using
the back legs as a ladder. Once on the back, lash out at the horn,
just go for it. But when the beast lowers it head slightly, don't
attack or you might fall off and get hurt.
It has several different attacks, pretty much all of which can be
dodged by staying underneath it, (but being careful of it's feet,
because it stomps on you a lot) or trying to stay on it's back. Using
abilities such as Ragnarok is very useful for this battle. Cast Aero
on yourself if you don't think you're strong enough will help, and
Dark Protection is quite useful. Anyway, this 'boss' is very easy
and despite a large amount of HP, will be defeated without breaking
a sweat!

 Chernabog
HP - 1500
Difficulty - 6/10
Recommended LVL - From here on, you'll want to be at least LVL 65+
This boss is from 'Fantasia' (the first one) if you haven't recognised
him yet. ^_^ He's pretty tough, and on my game completely unexpected!
First off, cast "Aero", and "Super Glide" over
to the back of his head, (like with Ursula II) and attack like crazy.
Enventually, he'll spread his wings, causing you to be thrown to the
far side of the battle area. Which means you'll have to get behind
his head all over again! Chernabog has some nasty magic attacks, so
you'll want to stay out of his way. The best safe place is, of course,
behind his head. Good luck!

 Ansem
I
HP - 1500
Difficulty - 7/10
Recommended LVL - 65+
OK, it's time for the last, (several) battles! ^_^ Are you up for
it? Good, the first battle with Ansem, (you never would've guessed
it was him would you?) is quite difficult.
Cast Aero as soon as you can and lock onto him. He'll be flying around,
so try to keep track of him. Air abilities work well, such as Strike
Raid and Ragnarok etc... But keep your MP up, because you're gonna
need it!
When Ansem summons his Heartless Guardian, don't bother attacking
because he'll be invincible. The HG will occasionaly throw harmful
spheres at you, which you can Dodge Roll out of the way, or deflect
right back at him.
After a while of that, Ansem will try a new attack. When he says 'Submit!'
run like hell! As he'll cast a magic barrier on himself, (which stops
you from attacking him) and if you do try to attack, his HG will grab
you and pin you in the air for about 5 seconds, which is incredibly
annoying! Also causing damage. So wait for the barrier to disappear,
then go in for the attack! So basicly just hammer him until he enters
the next area... (Written by FFFreak)

Darkside
III
HP - 900
Difficulty 5/10
Recommended LVL - 65+
Before you enter this area, stock up your items, cure and if you haven't
put Dark protection on, then do so now! Yep, it's Darkside again,
and he's still 100 feet tall! It's pretty much the same attacks and
strategy though. Just switch from attacking Hands and Head, when it's
lowered, and attacking the Heartless when you want some MP or HP Balls.
Just beware, 'cause this time, you're on your own! Overall very easy
compared to before, but it ain't over yet, not at all... (Written

Ansem
II
HP - 1200
Difficulty - 8/10
Recommended LVL - 65+
Unfortunately you're still alone for this battle, (having Donald and
Goofy would have been sooo helpful) so cast Aero and get cracking
(cure if you need). This time he's pretty much the same as Ansem I,
but a lot trickier!
He has two new attacks, both of which must be dodged properly, or
you'll run out of HP before you know it! For new attack number 1,
Ansem starts appearing, re-appearing everyway you look, and when he
does that he charges to attack at the same time, (quite similar to
one of Riku's attacks the second time you battle him in Hollow Bastion)
to dodge this, either Super Glide around, (then gliding again once
you're too low to the ground) or Lock on and Dodge Roll either left
or right.
For new attack number 2, he heads to the center of the area and re-summons
his Heartless Guardian to comes up through the floor several times
following you. To dodge simple lock on and mash that Dodge Rolling
button as fast as you possibly can! Then stay away from Ansem when
that's finished, because he then casts a very strong magic attack
around him.
After that though, he is left open for some hammering! Apart from
that he still has his old attacks from Ansem I. Remember to keep your
MP up, as you can't get very many attacks in and also because you
need to have Aero cast on yourself at all times! This is a looong
battle so good luck! (Written by FFFreak)

 World
of Chaos (Ansem)
HP - 1500
Difficulty - 7/10
Recommended LVL 65+
This Ansem is now right at the top of this 'World of Chaos' sort of
thing, hence Ansem's new name. Cast Aero on yourself and Lock onto
Ansem, (why does the beginning of every boss sound the same? ^_^)
The best place to attack is right behind him, if you attack the front
you're likely to get injured by his lance type weapon. After a moment,
Ansem will attack with red spheres that soar right at you. The best
way to dodge these, is just fly around, circling Ansem and you shouldn't
get hit, but if you do cure right away! So switch from attacking,
circling, curing and you'll do great! But if you think it's over already,
you're unfortunately wrong! (Written by FFFreak)

Difficulty - 7/10
Recommended LVL - 65+
The final form of Ansem is... pretty much the same as World of Chaos
Ansem! But this time you've got your pals to help out! Just lock on,
attack from behind and be wary of any red sphere things.
Don't forget to cast Aero on yourself and be over cautious with your
HP, even when only a little has gone down, you don't want to have
done all that and then lose at the final battle because you couldn't
be bothered to Cure as often as you usually do!! The very, very best
of luck for defeating all of that! When he's down, that's it, no more
battles! But no more Kingdom Hearts either! *sob* So sit back, relax
those tense fingers and enjoy the ending. ^_^ (Written by FFFreak)

unless otherwise noted) |
|
Time Limit Trials
Unlocked - After Wonderland.
Recommended time to enter - After Deep Jungle.
Difficulty - 2/10
Win - The spell 'Thunder'.
You must complete the Trials first before you can start any of the
Cups. Enter the Coliseum Lobby and try to move the massive stone next
to the Yellow Trinity Mark. This will make Phil look over and lets
you start the Trial. But before you start, make sure you have the
Jungle King Keyblade equipped, (or something better if you have it)
as it does more damage. For the first Trial, you need to bash all
20 barrels in 30 seconds!
A good strategy is to lock on to the middle barrel in the first group,
which will damage the barrels on either side as well. If you're lucky,
(or have a good aim) one or more of the barrels may fly away into
other barrels, causing then to smash! So, start by going straight,
bash the barrels, keep going straight, bash the barrels, until you
get to the first ledge. Then hop onto it, bash the barrels, then jump
onto the ledges on either side, one after the other, smashing the
barrel on both of the ledges.
If you lose, you get an option to try again or quit. If you make it,
you'll upgrade to the second trial. For the second trail you have
a generous 60 seconds for bashing the 25 barrels. But that's only
because this area is a bit more complicated. Start off by going around
the center obstacle clockwise, smashing barrels as you go. Then head
up the ledges also bashing barrels as you go, then for the second-to-last
barrel, try to aim it so it smashes into the last one, on the pedestal.
If you're unsuccessful, just lock onto the last barrel and blast it
with your Fire magic!
Congrats! You made it through the Trials... But Phil still won't let
you enter the Preliminaries... Oh well, Save and exit the Lobby. And
guess who! Hades pops up and offers you an Entry Pass, but he's got
something sneaky up his sleeve... Head back into the Lobby and give
your Entry Pass to Phil, who finally lets you go to the Preliminaries!

Cloud
HP - 300
Difficulty - 3/10
Recommended LVL: 22+
Win - Ability 'Sonic'.
Cup: Preliminaries.
To defeat Cloud, having 'Dodge Roll' equipped and/or have 'Glide'
from Neverland is essential! Make sure Donald and Goofy are well stocked
with Potions, Hi-Potions and Ethers.
At the start Cloud will be holding back, so just run up to him and
slash him with combo's. He'll then start using a deadly attack called
'Sonic' this attack gets very annoying and he starts using it repeatedly,
so when he does Sonic just Dodge Roll or Glide out the way of the
attack.
Continue doing this little strategy and heal frequently, the time
to attack is when he jumps up and drives his sword into the ground,
you must Dodge Roll or Glide out the way of this attack and then attack
him while he's pulling his sword out of the ground. Continue doing
this until you defeat him. After the battles against Cloud and Cerberus,
exit the Lobby and talk to Cloud to gain his ability 'Sonic'.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cerberus
HP - 600
Difficulty - 4/10
Recommended LVL: 22+.
Win - Armor Inferno Band.
Cup: Preliminaries. If you thought Darkside was big, you should see
this beast! He's ENORMOUS! A good time to do Cerberus is after you've
completed Deep Jungle because you'll have the spell 'Cure'. The first
time you fight this beast, is right after the fight with Cloud, see
above. But there is a Save Point in-between the battles so Save and
protect against Fire and/or Darkness.
When you battle, lock onto a head, (it doesn't matter which as they
have joint HP) and attack with all you've got, using 'Dodge Roll'
when it attacks and Curing if you get hit. When it rears up and starts
pouring darkness out of it's mouth into the ground, 'Dodge Roll' as
fast as you can, because the darkness chases Sora around the arena.
When it finishes that, fireballs come out to play instead. So just
keep Dodging until it's over. It may also rear up and body slam the
ground, so you'll have to jump before the earth-waves hit you. So
the only chance of attacking is very rare. Good luck! You'll obtain
Inferno Band afterwards.

Leon HP - 600 - Yuffie HP - 300
Difficulty - 5/10
Recommended LVL - 30+
Cup - Pegasus
For this battle you'll want plenty of abillities equiped, such as
'Vortex', 'Sonic' etc... And some good Defense+ Armor, as this couple
don't use Elements. Casting Aero frequently is also a good idea.
When the battle starts, head straight for Yuffie, avoid Squall for
now. You'll want to get rid of Yuffie A.S.A.P. as she Cures herself
if you take too long. She also likes to jumps great distances a lot,
which makes it hard to keep track of her. When she attacks with her
throwing pin-wheels, you need to attack/deflect them back at her,
or simply 'Dodge Roll' if you never got the hang of hitting Wakka's
Blitzball back at him.
A good tactic would be trapping her in a corner so she can't jump
very well. Once Yuffie's down, you can concentrate on Squall. Lock
on and run around him, then circle a little closer so he slashes at
you, then run a short distance away, as he'll slam his gunblade at
the ground.
As soon as he's done that though, run at him and attack full blast,
using attack abilities like 'Arcanum'. When your combos are over,
get out of the way again before he slashes at you. He'll still be
using his old Fire attack, so watch out for it. When his Green HP
bar is half gone, his sword suddenly glows blue-ish, he'll become
more powerful, and his attacks will reach further, so be very cautious.
When the battle's over, give yourself a pat on the back! Strike Raid
and the Pegasus Cup is your prize.

This time it's virtually the same strategy as the last battle against
Cloud, except he has a new move and when he drives his sword into
the ground it covers a wider area then before. When his HP is about
halfway through the green bar, he will call upon a golden electricity
power, which allows him to start flying around at shoulder height
slashing at you like crazy, he's also a lot faster.
The only way to counter this is Dodge Roll like crazy until he
settles down again, and when he does, use Arcanum to finish him
off. After you defeat him, you receive 'Metal Chocobo', this is
a Keyblade, equip it to Sora.

 Hercules
HP - 450
Difficulty - 4/10
Recommended LVL: Around 22+
Recommended Party: (You can only have Sora for this battle)
Cup: Hercules
Win - Herc's Shield.
Ahem! Hercules is hard when you first face him, but about 2-3 battles
after you'll find him quite easy. First off, make sure 'Cure' is set
as a shortcut. Even though you don't need it much, it's for just in
case purposes really.
You'll see that you can't attack Hercules when he's glowing, so we
need to get rid of his 'force field'. Wait for Hercules to start laughing
and run over to the barrels and lock onto one, pick up the barrel
and now lock onto Hercules, quickly toss it at him before he comes
to attack you.
He should be dazed and the glow will be gone, take this chance to
run after him and slash him repeatedly. This is the strategy to beating
him. Of course, he does have a nice variety of attacks to choose from.
When you see Herc jump into the air, you need to run away from him
as far as possible, because he slams his fists down hard, creating
a big explosion that if you're inside it, you'll get hurt badly, so
Dodge Roll or Glide out the way as fast as possible.
Another one of his attacks is the head butt. You'll see him get into
that cartoon stance that they do when they're about to run really
fast, so Dodge Roll out of the way repeatedly either until he stops,
or you block his attack using the Square button or by slashing at
him. He will be dazed for a bit, so take this chance to slash him
with some more fierce combos.
The next one is his punching attack. Just simply Dodge Roll out the
way as usual.
And now for the spinning attack. He'll start spinning around with
his sword out ready to slice. So Dodge Roll out the way or (as the
head butt attack) block him. He will be very dizzy when he stops,
so move in for the kill with more slicing and dicing. Just repeat
the strategy and win the Hercules cup!
You'll acquire Herc's Shield for Goofy when you win.

 Yuffie
HP - 600
Difficulty 5/10
Recommended LVL - 50+
Win - Genji Shield for Goofy.
This time there's no Leon to back her up, so just go for it! Cast
Aero first though, as her throwing stars and Shuriken hurt a lot.
Equip Guard to help deflect those throwing stars back at her, just
beware of her speed; she's so fast! Try to trap her in a corner and
she'll be out in no time. (Written by FFFreak)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Behemoth
HP - 1500
Difficulty - 6/10
Recommended LVL - 52+
This time he's got a little more HP and is slightly stronger, but
you can handle it! It's only vunerability is it's horn, so lock on
to it and jump up, by using the back legs as a ladder. Once on the
back, lash out at the horn, just go for it. But when the beast lowers
it head slightly, don't attack or you might fall off and get hurt.
It has several different attacks, pretty much all of which can be
dodged by staying underneath it, (but being careful of it's feet,
because it stomps on you a lot) or trying to stay on it's back. Using
abilities such as Ragnarok is very useful for this battle. Cast Aero
on yourself if you don't think you're strong enough will help, and
Dark Protection is quite useful.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cerberus
HP - 1200
Difficulty - 7/10
Recommended LVL - 52+
His attacks are exactly the same as the last time you fought this
beast. He's just a lot more powerful with a lot more HP! When you
battle, lock onto a head, (it doesn't matter which as they have joint
HP) and attack with all you've got, using 'Dodge Roll' when it attacks
and Curing if you get hit.
When it rears up and starts pouring darkness out of it's mouth into
the ground, 'Dodge Roll' as fast as you can, because the darkness
chases Sora around the arena. When it finishes that, fireballs come
out to play instead. So just keep Dodging until it's over. It may
also rear up and body slam the ground, so you'll have to jump before
the earth-waves hit you. So the only chance of attacking is very rare.

 Cloud
and Leon
Cloud HP - 600 - Leon HP - 750
Difficulty - 7/10
Recomended LVL - 54+
OK, this is a really tough battle so good luck! To start with, you
can choose to attack either Cloud or Leon first. I recommend defeating
Cloud first. This time it's virtually the same strategy as the last
battle against Cloud in the Hercules Cup, except he is more powerful
and has more HP, great.
When his HP is about halfway through the green bar, he will call upon
a golden electricity power, which allows him to start flying around
at shoulder height slashing at you like crazy, he's also a lot faster.
The only way to counter this is Dodge Roll like crazy until he settles
down again, and when he does, use Arcanum to finish him off. After
Cloud's KO'd start attacking Leon.
Lock on and run around him, then circle a little closer so he slashes
at you, then run a short distance away, as he'll slam his gunblade
at the ground. As soon as he's done that though, run at him and attack
full blast, using attack abilities like 'Arcanum'.
When your combos are over, get out of the way again before he slashes
at you. He'll still be using his old Fire attack, so watch out for
it. When his Green HP bar is half gone, his sword suddenly glows blue-ish,
he'll become more powerful, and his attacks will reach further, so
be very cautious.

 Hades
HP - 800
Difficulty - 7/10
Recommended LVL - 55+
This is it! The battle you've all been waiting for! (But surprisingly,
not the last battle of the Hades Cup) Hades has two 'modes' Red and
Blue. When he's Blue, you can just attack him, preferably from behind,
but watch out for him throwing Fireballs at you, or punching you.
When he's Red, (he becomes Red when he says, "Feel the heat!")
he'll go over to the center of the arena and fire will shoot out of
his arms, and he spins around. To dodge, lock on to Hades and run
around him in a tight circle, to not get hit by the flames. The flames
will do lots of damage so protect against Fire beforehand, or cast
Aero on yourself. After he's finished his flame spin attack, get in
there and do some damage! He'll be KO'd before you know it! (Written

 Rock
Titan
HP - 2100
Difficulty - 4/10
Recommended LVL - 55+
Why make the first seed such a wimp? Despite high HP levels, this
rock is easy!
Anyway, in the beginning, the only reachable part of him is his feet.
So get cracking on them with Ars Arcanum and some nasty combos, it
may seem like you're doing a measly amount of damage, but it goes
down surprisingly quickly, just don't attack from behind, 'cause he
might crush you if he falls over!
You get 1 tech point with every hit. His attacks are the stomping
variety. Just jump or Glide(I recommend Glide) to dodge these. If
you're hit, cure A.S.A.P. as they do a surprising amount of damage.
After a long time of attacking his feet, he'll fall over, allowing
you to jump onto his neck and attack one of the heads. This will deal
a whole lot more damage then those little feet, so blast away with
all you've got!
When the Rock's recovered, he'll get back up, knocking you to the
ground, however it is possible to stay on.
So just keep repeating that and this wimp will be down in no time!(Written

Before Battle
Sora should be Level 70 or above. Equip yourself with your strongest
keyblade (Recommended: Ultima Weapon).
Recommended Items: Elixir, Hi-Potions, Ether
Recommended Abilitys: Superglide, Dodge Roll, Block, Counterattack,
Second Chance, (The Ability where you gain MP when you get hit), High
Jump
Recommended Magic Spells: Curaga
The Battle starts
You're doomed. OK not really xD. Sephiroth is walking slowly, run
to him, jump and attack.
This is Sephiroth's first form...
His Attacks (Attack Names are mostly from me, so don't wonder
xD)
Sliced Up
Sephiroth attacks you (he jumps and damages you; vertical).
Quick Faint
Sephiroth attacks you (horizontal slice).
Fire Wall
Fire is coming out of the floor!!! At this point, you might have
a chance to heal yourself, if you are badly injured...
Teleport
He is teleporting away.
_________________________
The Strategy: Sephiroth's Form #1
His first form is very easy to defeat. Unless you are not a real
Keyblade Master xD.
Attack him and don't try to waste HP and MP in his first form...
Don't even think of using Potions!!!!! xDDD
In the end, form 2 is coming...
His Attacks (in Form #2)
Slice Up, Quick Faint, Fire Wall, Teleport
Sin Harvest
Sephiroth is says some words and then suddenly you're dead.
NOTE: If you equipped SECOND CHANCE before the battle, then
you should have 1 HP and 0 MP.
Having less HP, quickly use Elixir. Hi-Potions may work too, simply
get hit by him, get MP and recover HP! Or, before you have 1 HP
and 0 MP, hit him with your keyblade. Sonic or Tomahawk is useful
too!
Painful Punishment
The room gets dark, Sephiroth is attacking you like hell. You can't
damage him in this attack. Dodge Roll all the time, cure yourself
with Curaga.
___________________
The Strategy Sephiroth's Form #2
Ok, Seph is walking faster now. (Yikes) He also teleports more often
and uses Fire Wall often too (maybe). Watch out when he teleports,
he may teleport to another place, far away from you on your current
position. If you can't prevent the upcoming attack, then get ready
for SIN HARVEST. (Read HIS ATTACKS above). Still alive? Then you'll
die..err i mean get ready for his last form...
His Attacks (Sephiroth's Form #3)
All from above +.
Meteor Crush
Sephiroth teleports himself to the middle of the arena. Something
green and black appears on him and Blue Balls are coming from anywhere,
so just jump fast. It's not over yet. Meteors are crushing on the
floor, creating waves on the floor. Again, jump and fly around.
Think it's over? Not yet. Those meteors are moving around, causing
damage when touched. At the end every single meteor explodes dealing
some hell of damage (depending on level).
Blue Orbs
Blue Orbs are coming out of Sephiroth. Avoid by jumping or Dodge
Roll around...
__________________
The Strategy (Sephiroth's Form #3)
Sephiroth has gone crazy. Got some Elixirs and Potions left? You could
use them here in this stage.... The beginning of Sephiroth's Form
#3? When he uses Meteor Crush. After that, Sephiroth is glowing Blue
all the time and uses different attacks from above, such as Slice
Up, Quick Faint, Fire Wall, Teleport, Sin Harvest (not too often)
and of course Blue Orbs. He will only use Meteor Crush once.... Cure,
cure, cure and win, win, win and win 18000 EXP.....(or more O.O)

_________________________________
The Beginning
The Battle starts by seeing Sora and Co. falling in the sand. There
is a large distance between Sora and Kurt Zisa....
His Attacks (Attack Names are mostly from me, so don't wonder xD)
Form #1
Twisting Blades
He is whirling around his blades and tries to hit you. You can avoid
this by standing very close to his legs or simply move away from him.
Disable Magic
At the start of the battle he uses this spell on your team. You are
not able to use any magic spells. Means: No Curing! You can't avoid
this. Your magic is back when you destroy the orbs in his hands.
Shield Mode
After destroying both orbs in Kurt Zisa's Hands and after you've striked
him, he starts the Shield Mode. You can't damage him, 'cause he has
a Shield around him. You can damage him by using Magic Spells like
Thundaga or Graviga. When you have no MP anymore, don't waste any
Ethers. Hit the Shield and MP Bubbles will start popping out of it.
Calling Whirlwinds
Little Whirlwinds are coming out of the sand, surrounding Sora. Simply
Dodge Roll or fly out of it. It doesn't follow you.
Calling Fireballs
Fireballs are appearing almost everywhere. Watch out that you don't
touch them.
_____________
The Strategy Form #1
At the start he uses Disable Magic on you. Quickly, when the battle
starts, summon Tinkerbell (it IS possible to summon Tinkerbell, trust
me ^^).
OK, you can't use any magic now, but Tinkerbell will heal you, so
don't waste any Potions or Ethers, only if it's really neccessary...
Destroy his 2 orbs in his both hands. Watch out for the attack Twisting
Blades. After you destroyed both orbs, you can use magic again. Now
attack Kurt Zisa's Head as many times as you can. After that he will
switch to Shield Mode (read HIS ATTACKS for more information to this
attack and the strategy for breaking it). In this mode, he will also
use Calling Whirlwinds and Calling Fireballs. After breaking his Shield,
start hitting his head again. Then he will disable your magic again....
Form #2
Form #2 will be much harder than Form #1, read HIS ATTACKS or skip
it.
His Attacks
All from Form #1 +
Vertical and Horizontal Slice Attack
Vertical: Ok, when he has the orbs in his hands and starts spinning
in the sky, vertical, then get ready for this annoying attack. Dodge
Roll left or right to avoid getting hit.
Horizontal: Like in 'Vertical', when he is in Orb-Mode and starts
spinning around in the sky, but this time horizontal. What to do?
Dodge Roll left or right? Won't work. Fly? I think you are getting
hit anyways. Try dodge rolling toward him. THIS IS WORKING! You won't
get any damage when you dodge roll in the right time...
Trap Balls
When he is in Shield Mode, he will now cast some Orbs, which are coming
out of the floor. Just run away from them. Or Dodge Roll. Simple to
avoid.
_____________
The Strategy Form #2
Form #2 starts when in Orb-Mode, if Kurt Zisa is starting to spin
around in the sky, vertical or horizontal. Read HIS ATTACKS Form #2
for a short strategy to avoid getting damaged of those 2 attacks.
After destroying his 2 orbs again, after hitting him, he will go to
Shield Mode again. The attacks seem to be pretty the same, but 1 is
new. The Trap Balls Spell. Everything will repeat again, from Orb-Mode
to Shield Mode and so on. At the end you should be able to beat him.
Good Luck!
