BE SURE TO READ THIS FIRST PART! You can read this faq as long as you
don't change ANY part of it (including this small introduction). Also,
you can print it but only for use at your home, you may NEVER sell
this stuff or else you will make me really mad and maybe I won't work
anymore! Finally, if you want to use this faq on your site you have to
mail me and ask me for it, I will almost surely grant it to you! =)
Plus, if you live in Portugal... you're not allowed to read this guide,
since most people around here tell me that I don't have this game.
Therefore, I can't write this guide and you can't read it! ;-P
Also, I must warn you that this faq is full of small spoilers, so if
you don't want the game spoiled for you, just don't read it! The order
in which I disposed the Bosses are the order I fought them in my game,
but you don't need to do it exactly like this, as most of the things
only depend on your level or, sometimes, in the cards that you have!
Finally, I only consider "bosses" those enemy battles from which you can't
run away (except for the Tutorials, but I doubt you need help with those
ones... Unless you don't know english, but if you don't know english why
on earth are you seeing this o.O'' ), and I will try to cover all of them
in this faq!
FINALLY, from now on I am accepting contributions for YOUR OWN boss
strategies, if you want to send me yours you can see the contact
information at the end of this faq. However, be always sure to include
this data:
- Subject of the e-mail: "COM BOSS give" ;
- Name you wanna be credited with ;
- Name of the boss you are providing your strategy for ;
- Your strategy.
If you are the first person to submit a certain strategy, you will be
credited in this faq, your strategy will be added to the proper section of
the faq and you will also receive a confirmation e-mail!
Hope you like to contribute for this and help other players worldwide!
Also,
I am no longer accepting contributions for these fights:
- Captain Hook (with Sora);
- Last battle against Riku (with Sora, commonly known as Riku 4);
- Sora's Final Battle;
- Riku's Final Battle (against Ansem, I mean).
So, any contributions for these fights will be rejected. However, any
contributions for all the other battles will be gladly welcome! You see,
lots of battles only have 1 strategy (mine!), so perhaps more strategies
for them would be nice! =)

(If you are wondering, the numbers inside the () mean how many strategies
there are for that specific boss battle)
0. Introduction
Despite that your level doesn't matter much in this game, by levelling
up you will be able to gain some extra things, like new moves or get
more hp... So, if despite this you can't seem to win against a
specific boss, try levelling up to get more SP or HP points, which are
really useful for Sora! As for the HP values, when I say something like
"(x-Y HP)" it means that its HP can change between those values, depending
on the floor in which you are facing it!
1. Guard Armor (200 HP)
The first boss battle you will find in the game, and it isn't a very
difficult one as you can imagine. Just use your normal keyblade cards
against the 5 weak points of this boss (which are his legs, his arms
and his... well... the rest of this body!) and use Donald and Goofie
as soon as you have a chance for it. The opponent only has an attack
that may cause you trouble, but if you use a card with value 0 at
the same time that he performs it, you won't have any trouble, as
you will break his attack. Don't use the combo thing that you learned
from Squall, as it will make your first card used in it disappear until
the end of the battle, which isn't a very good idea...
1.1 Axel (320 HP)
Despite of his looks, this guy is preety easy to beat. First, be sure to
equip the Simba Summon card you got from Leon (Well, I would rather call
him Squall Leonhart, but then fans from KH1 would flame me...) on your
deck. Now, you will notice that the enemy is always disappearing, so start
using your keyblade cards to try striking him, and also use Simba. Also,
be sure NOT to use any combos, since you will need all your cards.
Finally, and as you may imagine from his special attack (which turns out
being not very strong...), he is weak against Ice, so be sure to use your
ice card, but ONLY when he is recharging his card, or else he will just
avoid it by disappearing. So, keep on striking him with your keyblade
cards, Simba and Ice and eventually you will win!
2. Card Soldier (88-120 HP and 110-150 HP)
Quite easy battle, I don't think you will need any help with this, but
just use Simba and your attack cards and I bet that you will beat them in
no time! They seem to be lots, but you can beat them easily, fear not!
2.1 Trickmaster (550-750 HP)
Like the Guard Armor, this guy is pretty easy. Once again you won't
need to use any combos, so just keep on attacking with your normal
keyblade cards (if you have any new, higher level ones, be sure to
equip them in your deck) and you will easily win. Also, use Simba, and if
possible try collecting 3 Donald cards and use them as a combo, for an
high extra damage to this boss. Sometimes he may break your cards, with
some of his high level cards, but you can easily avoid his attacks, as
most of them are just some Fire attacks thrown at you.
3. Cloud (275-375 HP)
This is one of those battles that may turn out being somehow hard if you
don't know what to do. Apart from his super hot combo (the one he uses by
joining 3 high level cards with his face...) which hits you 3 times
however you are, he isn't very strong... So, be sure to take some healing
cards with you (2 or 3 are enough...) and heal when your health is below
its medium value, but NEVER use combos, as you will need all the cards you
can use. Oh, and you can remove Simba from your deck in this battle, as he
won't be able to cause much damage (or any at all, but I can't be sure of
that...). Finally, be sure to add the best cards you can to your deck
before this battle, but also some cards with value "0", as you will need
them to stop Cloud's combos... If you really can't manage defeating him,
just keep on healing yourself until he can't perform more combos (because
he would just have 2 cards left, or something...) and then attack him
with everything you've got!
3.1 Hades (440-600 HP)
This is surely the toughest battle that you faced up to now, so you will
need to be very careful in this one. First, equip the best keyblade cards
you have, then equip Simba and other summon cards (if you have any
more, which I doubt...). some Cure cards (they are green and they have a
leaf...) finally equip some cards with value 0, IN THIS SPECIFIC ORDER. I
am not sure if you already noticed this or not, but the cards with value
0 can ALWAYS stop any combination of cards from your opponent. When Hades
is about to use his best attacks, he will turn red. So, go the section of
the deck in which you have your cards with value 0 and use one of them,
which will instantly stop his attack. As soon as you don't have any
card with a 0 left, be sure to shuffle your deck. After sucessefully
stopping his attack, strike with Simba and with the best cards you have
currently on your deck to cause him some damage. Be sure NOT to use any
combos, since those will take some cards from your deck and you will
surely need them later in this hard battle. If you can't seem to win
despite my advice, try gaining some more levels in order to get more HP
and SP points and be able to put more/better cards on your deck. There is
also a small tip... You can use many ice cards instead of those of Cloud,
since (and as you may imagine...) Hades attacks with fire element you can
use the ice element against him, meaning that it will cause him great
pain, mainly if you make combos using 2 or 3 consecutive ice cards...
Strategy by Makiyu:
"
First organize you deck so it's like this...
3 blizzard cards ranked 5-9
1 rank 0 kingdom key card (or something with 0 that is a keyblade card)
3 blizzard cards ranked 5-9
1 rank 0 kingdom key card (or something with 0 that is a keyblade card)
3 blizzard cards ranked 5-9
1 rank 0 kingdom key card (or something with 0 that is a keyblade card)
3 blizzard cards ranked 5-9
1 rank 0 kingdom key card (or something with 0 that is a keyblade card)
3 blizzard cards ranked 5-9
1 rank 0 kingdom key card (or something with 0 that is a keyblade card)
3 blizzard cards ranked 5-9
1 rank 0 kingdom key card (or something with 0 that is a keyblade card)
Seems repetitive right? If you don't have enough space for some of the
cards, cut off the rank 0 kingdom card or 3 Blizzard cards since you
need them in 3's.
Now on to the boss battle!
Use the 3 blizzard cards on Hades, then stock 3 blizzard cards and use
Blizzaga on him when he is in range. Card reel the next card and stock the
3 blizzards again. WHen he uses a sleight, USE THE 0 CARD. He should die
by the 3rd-5th blizzaga. ALways use the 3 blizzard card first before
spamming the blizzaraga's so that you don't run out.
Always run around and strike when he's reloading or when he's close to you.
"
4. Parasite Cage (605-825 HP)
Despite that this is a very easy battle, your best bet will be taking
some healing cards and best keyblade cards you have. Since the poison
really inflicts some damage, you need to stick to the platforms and
only attack when you are near the enemy. Never use your summons,
since the summoned thing may appear on the poison field and it will
be instantly stopped. However, the combo of 3 Cloud cards can work
good, but I doubt you have 3 of those by now. Despite that this
boss' attacks can't make you much damage, use the healing cards as
soon as needed for having an easier time. Finally, be sure to
get the mickey card if you see any, since it will make you invulnerable
to poison for a certain time, which can really help you make some extra
damage to the boss.
4.1 Lots of weak hearthless (each with 36-50 HP)
Appears that some people were having trouble with this, despite of this
one being an easy battle... All you need to do is start killin them as
soon as possible, and NEVER stopping... How can you do this? Don't use
any magic, combos or summons (other than Cloud), so in a quick sum up...
Just strike as much as you can you your keyblades and kill as many as
possible, and if the bar gets red and starts flashing, that's because it
is starting to go down, which means that you need to attack more of those
monsters. When the bar get full and turns yellow, just kill all the
enemies that are currently on screen, and that will finish the level...
The keyword here is... FAST!
5. Oogie Boogie (550-750 HP)
Most people seem to think that this is an hard battle. However, it is
easier than people think. For this battle you just need to take as
many Cloud cards are you can and as many cards with value 7, 8 or 9
as you can. You will notice that this boss only throws you some dice,
and those are always activated by a level 7 card. So, when he throws
the dice, use one of your cards with level 0, 8 or 9. This will make
one of the three slots under the fence stop rolling, and once all
three are stopped, then fence will go down. Then, you can enter the
place where the boss his and attack him for a limited time. So, your
best bet is using your Cloud cards on front of him as soon as you
can, if possible using a combo of 3 Cloud cards, to get a special
attack that will greatly damage him. One the fence returns to its
place, shuffle your cards and repeat the entire process up to the
point in which you finally get to defeat him. Possibly you will get
at least 1 mickey card (looks like a green card shaped like Mickey's
head) if you destroy a certain dice during this fight, so be sure to use
it when all the three slots are ACTIVE, I mean, rolling! This will make
the fence stay down for a longer time, giving you the oportunity to make
some extra damage to this weak boss!
Strategy by Kefka Krazy:
"
Against Oogie Boogie, I found that using this strategy made him
ridiculously easy. As the person in the FAQ stated, use cards to break his
dice attack and make the fence go down. However, to maximize the damage
you deal to the Boogie-man, use the Card Soldier enemy card to pump up
your swing speed. I didn't use this my first time, but the second time, I
did. It makes all cards swing at about maximum speed... that's a lot of
damage in a short time.
"
6. Jafar (550-750 HP)
As soon as this battle start, you will notice that the red genie is
invulnerable to ANY of your attacks. So, how to defeat this giant
monster? Well, you will notice that sometimes the 3 panels move and
one of them will go high up. Make your way up there and you will
spot Iago (Jafar's bird) holding the magical lamp. As you may
imagine, your target is to hit him, and the best way is to always
make your way up to the highest panel, jump and try to hit him
at least 3 times with your best keyblade cards. DON'T USE COMBOS,
as they would spend some of your cards and, if you are unlucky,
this battle may take you a long time to finish. As before, I think
your best bet will be taking a lot of keyblade cards and some
healing ones, as Jafar has an attack in which he throws a huge
stone at you, and as you may imagine that REALLY hurts! As for
the mickey card, they seem to put all the 3 panels high, and then
you can easily attack Iago, but as you may already know by now
they are not that usual. If you are wondering about summon cards,
Simba and Cloud may turn out to be somehow useful, the first one
to be used whenever you want and the other one to be used it
"eventually" you get a mickey card and you have the change of
being near the bird. If you still having trouble with this,
well... just be sure not to loose any of your healing cards (be
sure to take 3 or 4 into this battle...) and keep on striking
Iago, he will eventually die.
Strategy by ApocAlypse212:
"
This battle is really easy but can take a long time. First off...just
stack your deck with high Simba, Cloud Cards (if you didn't do Olympus
Colosseum yet it's ok) and also High level Attack, Cure, and Potion Cards.
Magic Cards won't be very useful considering the main enemy is flying so
do not take them.
His best attack is: he throws a meteor at you which to dodge stand in the
middle of the three pillars so it cannot make it's way to you. His other
attacks are simple. Your attack cards or summon cards will not hurt him,
so do not even worry about Jafar. To beat him you have to defeat his bird
which is flying around with the lamp in his claws. If he does not come
lower a lot it turns into a LONG battle...but be patient. Do NOT combine
your cards unless you are 100% sure you can hit the bird. Use your Simba
cards to attack his parrot easily, but unfortunately it does not do much
damage. Jaffar will keep attacking, so just use your Cure cards if you get
low on hp. When you notice you are starting to run out of Attack Cards use
your Potions. This Battle is actually very simple even though you would
think a giant Genie would be harder, so just follow my strategy and it
should work out, if it doesn't just add attack cards to your deck.
Thanks for using my strategy if you did, and Good Luck!
"
6.1 Larxene (1120 HP)
Ok, another of those guys in black clothes, which you will have to defeat
in order to gain access to more levels... However, it is quite easy to win
this battle, just take 2 or 3 healing cards, Simba and Cloud. Now, use the
same technique as I told you some battles before... Start by having the
enemy use his combos (she has 2 or 3, if I recall...) so that she spends
her cards on them, and then attack her with your best keyblades, Cloud and
Simba... Be sure to heal if your health drops below his medium value...
Sometimes she can send you some rays that will catch you and take you to
her, but those don't seem to cause much damage, don't worry... Also, NO
COMBOS this time (well, appears that I say this in every battle or
something...), as you will need all the cards for attacking that you
have... Hope you can win to her easily too, just like I did! =)
7. Dragon Maleficent (960-1140 HP)
One of the worse things about this boss is that it spits some flames
that sticks to the ground and can heavily damage you. Once again,
your best bet would be using your best keyblade cards and lots of
healing ones (once again, 3 or 4 cards will be enough...). Be sure
to attack these flames on the ground sometimes, as they grant you
mickey cards, which will create a platform in the middle of the
screen, which makes it easier for you to hit the dragon's head
(its weak point, if you were wondering about it...) and a big help
to avoid other flames for some time. Except for this small detail
I guess this is an easy battle, you will just need to avoid the
flames (the dragon can bite you, but that doesn't cause you much
damage...), heal when necessary and then strike with your best
keyblade cards. However, DON'T USE COMBOS, since they are somehow
a way to spend some cards, which you may need later. As for summon
cards, I guess that only Simba will be of great help in this one, because
it will be able to hit the dragon's face even if it is in a hard to defeat
place! If you really can't seem to do it, try Dumbo too...
Strategy by Tracy Smith:
"
If you've learned it, use Ragnarok. To get back your lost keys, pack a
couple of Hi-Potions/Elixers and an Air Soldier (if you have one). The
Air Soldier will guarantee that the Hi-Potion will go through, meaning
that you'll get your keys back. To execute this, stock a Ragnarok, and
wait for her to do something. Break her card (if possible), then aim by
pressing up/down/left/right on the directional pad. You'll want to get it
so that the center of the ball on Sora's key is about aligned with her
head. Sora will let loose with a bunch of bolts, which will HURT. Heal as
necessary. The battle should be over fairly quickly.
"
7.1 Riku (1120 HP)
Despite of what I heard about this character, this battle turns out being
really easy you just need to use the same cards you used for the last boss
and you will easily win, mainly by using lots and lots of keyblade
attack. The opponent has some combos, but they aren't very powerful, so
just attack him with every keyblade attack you can, heal from time to time
and he will go down in no time. Just don't try using your summons, as he
will break them or just avoid them...
8. Ursula (640-760 HP)
Another easy battle, for this one you will just need to take your
keyblade cards with value 7, 8, 9 and 0 (two will be enough)and some
healing cards. As soon as the battle starts, attack one of the two
central tentacles until it goes down. Then, start jumping and hitting the
head 3 consecutive times (NOT USING A COMBO!) or more, if you have the
time for it before the tentacle going up. Then keep on repeating for some
time, until Ursula seems to move left (or right) and appear with the
trident. Then, wait until she makes a weird noise and seems to send some
rays at you, which you should stop by using your cards with value 0. Then,
attack her tentacles and head again until you win. Also, be sure to avoid
the bubbles that sometimes she uses, they don't cause much damage but they
can get Sora confused, which isn't a very good idea, as you will have an
harder time with your controls... If you find a Mickey Card use it right
away, as it will send the tentacles away and lower Ursula's head for some
time, giving you the chance to land some good blows.
8.1 Riku (1120 HP)
This battle is almost as easy as the first one that you fought against
this character. He has a new ability called "Dark Firaga", which doesn't
seem to cause you much damage... So, just do exactly what you did in the
last battle with him, and everything will go find... Oh, you don't want to
scroll up just to read that stuff again? Ok, I will paste it here...
"
Despite of what I heard about this character, this battle turns out being
really easy you just need to use the same cards you used for the last boss
and you will easily win, mainly by using lots and lots of keyblade
attack. The opponent has some combos, but they aren't very powerful, so
just attack him with every keyblade attack you can, heal from time to time
and he will go down in no time. Just don't try using your summons, as he
will break them or just avoid them...
"
Good luck with it! ;-)
9. Captain Hook (640-760 HP)
Truly, this may be the thoughest battle that you will face so far, that's
why I chose this level in last place. Apart from having lots of high level
cards, Hook can also throw some bombs at you, which will REALYYYYYYYYYYY
damage you. Also, you will be fighting in his ship, which means that the
entire scenario will be moving, making it hard for you to dodge some of
his attacks (like the bombs!). So, I guess that your best best will be
taking 3 healing cards, 3 or more Cloud Summon Cards and then put the best
keyblade cards you currently have, on your deck. Now, the best idea is...
Use the 3 Cloud Cards to make a combo, which should use a really good
triple attack that will deal Hook a huge ammount of damage. Then, use the
2 Cloud cards that you still have ALONE, and only when you are at a
distance from Hook that ensure you not to fail your attack. Finally, heal
as necessary and continue striking with all the best keyblade cards you
have. If you are still having problems, try adding some cards with value
0, in order to break his best attacks (yep, mainly the bombs...). Oh, and
the ship you are in is always moving left and right, meaning that you will
have an hard time avoiding the bombs!
Strategy by CobraGT:
"
I was level 32 ... HP 155 ... CP 750
I did not have the greatest cards but I thought I could just as well fight
Hook until I figured him out as opposed to getting better cards.
Premium Simba 4, 6, 6
Ice 0
Cure 8
Premium Genie 1
Premium Cloud 4
Premium Ice 1
Kingdom Key 0
Ice 0
Ice 9
Cure 3
Stop 9
Stop 9
Simba 6
Genie 0
Cloud 7
Ether 0
Barrel Spider
Most important is Sora's position on the battle stage. As you play your
attack, have Hook in your sights so that the damage in centered on Hook.
Next play your cards so that you trump Hook. What it really comes down to
is jumping around while playing cards.
"
Strategy by Marinshaw:
"
Deck Focus: I found Hook to be very hard the first few times I lost to him
because I noticed that he would have an "all 0" effect on at times,
effectively screwing me over completely. Trying to create a new deck to
adapt to this, I noticed that I had picked up the Pirate (Heartless-type)
card, and its effect was All 0 for one reload. So, I finally beat him with
this deck. The main focus is to immediately use the Pirate card and stock
the rest of your deck with Cures and Keys only, being sure to throw in
some 0 keys as well and have at least one Potion handy at the end.

recommended.

Strategy by Keon Lee:
"
Hey I have a boss strategy for "Captain Hook". Here it is.
I was lvl 28, 275 HP, 593 CP when I beat Captain Hook. My deck was:
Guard Armor
Kingdom Key 6
Olympia 8
Fairy Harp 9
Wishing Star 6
Kingdom Key 9
Lady Luck 4
Blizzard 5
Blizzard 2
Simba 6
Cure 6
Fire 1

Kingdom Key 7
Cloud 4
Kingdom Key 0
Cure 7
Stop 4
Wishing Star 6
Thunder 7
Kingdom Key 5
Fairy Harp 2
Pumpkinhead 2
Hi-Potion 3
Strategy: Wait to attack in the first few seconds. If he has an ability
on, check which one it is. It could be all of his cards are 0(in which
case you're probably screwed), random, or something else. When he uses his
special, either run away to the other side of the screen or counter with a
higher special. Otherwise, full on attack him. By the way, this was my
7th floor, above Halloween Town, Agrabah, Wonderland, Monstro, Olympus
Coliseum, and Traverse Town. Watch out for his different specials, as he
can shoot bombs at you, attack you about 20 times then hurl you up in the
air, or a combination of both. To run away, dodge roll (tap left or right
twice in succession) and attack as soon as you're behind him. Use magic
and don't indulge your deck with summons. I suggest only using Barrel
Spider, Simba and Peter Pan combinations. Use combos too, as they can
counter Hook's if the number is higher. If you find yourself in low health
(more then likely) use a Cure combo for Cura or Curaga. Use elemental
combos as well, to give range.
"
Strategy by Tracy Smith:
"
THE hardest boss for me, hands down. Here's what I did to my deck:
Curaga (25) 0
Tornado (with Cloud) 0
Tornado (with Cloud, if possible)
(repeat the previous two lines as many times as you wish)
Low-level Elixer
Low-level Elixer
Low-level Elixer
Curaga (something above 20)
Air Soldier
The Air Soldier will make sure that your Elixers replenish your missing
cards. Stock a Tornado, and wait for Captain Hook to do a SLEIGHT. Dodge
roll until he decides to do one. If you can break his sleight with
Tornado, then do so. Otherwise, use the 0 card, and THEN use Tornado.
Tornado him to the other side of the screen. While he's stunned, stock
another Tornado or a Curaga (if needed). One you're out of the Tornado/0
combo, activate the Air Soldier and use an Elixer. Repeat until Hook is
defeated.
"
9.1 Vexen (1120 HP)
Another of those guys in black suit... Appears that each of them is
specialized in a particular type of attack, and this one seems to use a
lot of Ice attacks, so you know what to do, right? Well, you can just take
this battle with the cards you usually use, but in order to have an easier
time you should use lots of Fire cards (alone or in combos of 3) and some
Cloud cards, apart from cards with value 0 (to stop his attacks, you don't
need them but you want want a couple of them, to stop some of them...) and
some healing cards, as usual. If you want to use your keyblade cards to
attack him, be sure to attack him from behind, as his big shield is able
to stop ALL the physic attacks used in his front. Also, if he freezes you
(well, this is easily noticed, as Sora will "just", well, like... BE
INSIDE OF A HUGE ICE BLOCK -_-'''' ), just keep pressing directions in the
control pad and you will, after a while, make the ice block destroy itself
and continue the battle. Again, be sure to take a LOT of Fire cards, as
they will be your main way of attacking in this battle!
Strategy by Kefka Krazy:
"
Poor old Vexen... he had me stumped until I found a way through that
shield o'his. Stack the deck with Sonic Blade combos, any number of them
is fine, just make sure you have about 8. Also take along at least 3 cure
spells of decent level (for a Curaga that he'll have a hard time
breaking). Finally, you'll want a couple Hi-Potions and maybe an Elixer.
Sonic Blade the crap out of Vexy, you'll slam right through his shield and
he will have almost no way of breaking it. Most of Vexen's sleights don't
go high enough in points to break the 20-23 power level of a Sonic Blade,
and he carries maybe 2 0-level cards in his entire deck. This works for
both Vexens. One Sonic Blade should take off maybe a quarter or so of a
life bar (if you continue Blading until the sleight ends), so you might
even be able to take him down without using any Hi-Potions or Elixers.
IMPORTANT: If you're going to use a Hi-potion or Elixer, make SURE you use
it as part of a combo with your highest level attack or cure cards. This
is to prevent Vexen from breaking your item card!
"
10. Vexen (1120 HP)
This is almost exactly the same battle that you fought before, so it will
be rather easy. Despite that your opponent has some new powers (1 or 2...)
that aren't very powerful, your best idea is just trying to avoid them and
continue striking with lots of Fire attacks and Cloud cards, as in the
previous battle. This time he will also have some cards that enable him to
revive himself and win some HP when he is just about to die, but just keep
on healing yourself (be sure NOT to use combos with the healing cards) and
attacking him and eventually he will die...~
Strategy by Chumi:
"
ok, here it goes. First use a 3 cloud combo, then a cloud stop any attack
card & and another cloud card.
keep on dashing to dodge its attacks, then reload and use 3 cloud combo
again, use some keyblades then reload.
Now do the cloud, stop any attack card combo, reload and use cloud, reload
again and use cloud again. You may also use keyblades but remember, keep
dashing. Do that until you beat this guy.
"
10.1 Riku (1120 HP)
Strangely, this is exactly equal to the last battle that you fought
against him. Personally, I took on him with exactly the same deck that I
had used against Vexen, but you can use something else, as long as you
take some Cloud cards (5 or more...), some healing ones (which, as before,
shouldn't be used as a combo) and lots of keyblade cards for attacking.
11. Darkside (1920 HP)
This is an easy battle, however it may become boring since you may take a
long time to finish it. First, be sure to put on your deck the following
things: 2 Cloud Cards, 3 healing cards, 3 cards with value 0 and the best
keyblade cards as you can, in the biggest ammount you can. Now, what you
have to do is... first, evaluate his pattern, as it is always almost the
same. When he is using the attack in which he sends a huge energy ball to
the air, break it with with your cards with value 0. When he puts his hand
on the floor you can have a good time and attack it, if you use a Cloud
card you will cause him more damage but if you take too much time you may
not be able to attack him. Then, keep on attacking when he puts his hand
on the floor or try to get a mickey card (I am not sure, but you may have
more chances of getting one if you destroy those things that usually are
seen flying across the scenario), which will create a flying platform that
takes you exactly to the front of this huge monster's face. And after a
long time, hope you can finally defeat him! =) Oh, but there are easier
ways to defeat this giant monster... You can put some more extra Cloud
cards, some healing cards and lots of Keyblade cards with value 7, 8 and
9. Now, use the Cloud cards ONLY in combos of 3, in order to get 3
powerful strikes on the monster's face. Then, use the keyblades to attack
him "normally" (well, if there is anything normal about this giant
monster...) on the hand (when possible) and on the face, healing when
necessary. Keep on doing this for some time and *eventually* you will beat
him. Not very hard, is it?
Strategy by CyberTractor:
"
During the fight with Darkside, you get the trick cards if you kill the
small heartless that appears when he slams his fist into the ground. It's
easier to do this if you chain 2 Clouds together and stand right in front
of the fist, killing both of the small heartless that appear.
"
Strategy by "that lazy Canadian guy":
"
Darkside strategy: This is, as mentioned, not a difficult fight at all -
but why be bored, when you can soothe yourself into a relaxed state, and
marvel at just how easy such a giant boss is... and get your ass kicked by
Riku 30 seconds later.
You need very few cards for this battle. I would say that, at most, you
would need four 9 or 8 keyblades, five or six keyblades of your own
choosing, ONE heal (not really necessary), and items of your choice if
you're too lazy to reload.
Darkside has four types of attack:
- He fires energy balls at you.
- He shoots said ball into the air, which creates many balls which fall on
you.
- He pounds the ground.
- He turns his fist into a portal to some weird black universe.
These, of course, are slightly embellished descriptions, but are close
enough for your needs. I am not sure how Darkside begins his attacks, but
you can rest assured that the pattern will always be one of the first two,
followed by one of the next two, repeat.
The thing about Darkside is, he almost NEVER uses a card higher than 8 -
and he barely even uses those either. This is why you don't need any 0
cards, unless you are extremely insecure. It's quite simple to figure out
what to do - if he raises his fist above the middle of the screen, stick
to the far left, just in case he does the impact attack. Either way, his
fist will be on/in the ground. At this point, you use the five or six
choice keyblades to attack his hand. (NOTE: if he creates the vortex, a:
do not bother with the heartless, you really don't need the trick card,
and b: if you really want to, you can run up to him and attack his head,
but there's not much of a difference.) I found it difficult to use a full
six cards in the time where his hand is on/in the ground, so keep that in
mind.
Now, should he lean back, or darken the screen with some kind - ANY kind
of energy ball - break it. That's all. Feel free to take this time to
reload, because he gives you a lot of time here.
Of course, sometimes you're stuck with no way to break the energy ball.
Worry not, though - it's not too tough to dodge. If he's throwing them
directly at you, then just run up and down and he'll NEVER hit you. If he
does the orbital bombardment, then I suggest a random pattern of running,
dodging and jumping, since they seem to have an uncanny guidance system.
The only reason you might need a heal is in case you get hit by a few too
many of these... but I'm sure you won't have too much trouble with it.
You need only remember one thing when fighting Darkside... stick to the
left. FAR left.
And that's it! Have fun getting your ass kicked by Riku!
"
Strategy by Kefka Krazy:
"
There is one card that will make your life ridiculously easy. It seems
(not sure, but I think it's true) that you do extra damage attacking the
face rather than the arms. Well, that face is waaay too high to get at...
right? Just pop a Wight Knight enemy card (the stringy, long-armed mummy
Heartless from Halloween Town) and you can EASILY jump up and smack him in
the face all you want. Stack your deck with some healing cards and a LOT
of decent attack cards (W K lasts for 3 reloads, so you don't want to
reload more than you have to).
"
11.1 Riku (1680 HP)
This time, some things have changed... First, he seems to have a lot more
HP, plus now he has a new special attack, which "only" turns out being one
of the best ones in this game... So, I guess you will need some more
advices this time... Be sure to put lots of 7, 8 and 9 keyblade cards on
your deck, some healing cards (3 or 4...), many Cloud cards (5 or 6, I
would say) and finally some cards with value 0, all in this particular
order. Now, use the same technique that you used against him before, I
mean, strike with combos of 3 Cloud cards, lots and lots of strikes with
your best keyblades and heal when necessary, I mean, whenever your health
probs above its its medium value. Also, be sure to use your cards with
value 0 to stop Riku's best move, which turns the entire screen black and
causes you a lot of damage. Apart from this move and his increased health
bar, just be sure to beat him as you did in the previous fights against
him...

If you need a deck badly and can't think of one, this will totally kill

Vexen. Then use 3 Omnislashses(stock 3 Clouds and use them for each
Omnislash), attack with the keyblades once you are out of Clouds, heal
with Cura(Stock 2 Cures and any other card), and either use a Potion or
re-shuffle. Then repeat. Whenever Riku does regular attacks like the
"X-Slash" or the Jumping stab, just Dodge Roll behind him and execute

Strategy by Dallas Robinson:
"
Basically you want to have a deck that's 1/3 zeros and high level cards
(9,8,7). Place the cards in this pattern or as close as you can get to
it: 0,9,8,0,9,8,0,9,8, etc, etc. Basically you want it so you can get a
zero out at a moments notice so when Riku whips out a huge attack you can
just break it with a conveniently placed 0 card! The best part is that
everytime you break one of his stocks he looses a card permanentely so
actually as the match goes on your actually making him (and all bosses)
weaker. :-D
The 0 card doesn't have to be an attack card just anything that is a zero.
Also it also helps to have 1/3 of you deck as healing cards at the end of
your deck. these cards are for STOCKING ONLY! Riku will easilly break them
if used individually so you need to stock them to at least a value of 10.
HOLD that "Curaga" until you have a clear chance to use it (usually after
you have broken one of riku's stocked attacks) since it will take him a
little while to build something that can break your "Curaga".
So basically you just keep on attacking and healing and let your well
placed zeros do all the work for you. I finshed him (and most of the game)
off without using a single summon or cardstock (other then stocking
healing cards).
I hope this is useful to somebody

Strategy by ApocAlypse212:
"
This Battle is HARD if you do not do it right. First off, take 4 or 5 zero
type cards of any kind, and lots of Cloud cards, no lower than 4, about 5
to 7 of them. Then you will need some high cards (7, 8, and 9).Then take
high level healing cards (7, 8, and 9 of course) and if you don't low
level ones will do. This is not necessary but if you need it take a couple
potions or elixirs. BE SURE TO TAKE A VEXEN WITH YOU and use it at the
beginning of the battle. If you still have enough card points after this,
equip 2 Simbas and combine them for Proud Roar.
Now for the strategy. His best attack (Dark Aura) will REALLY hurt you.
That's why you must break it EVERY time with a 0 card. And to make it
worse he has more HP! The Cloud cards will REALLY hurt him, and he likes
to break cards so that's where the 7 8 and 9 comes in. His Dark Firaga
will hurt a bit but it is easy to avoid, just go behind him. If you do
happen to get hit by his Dark Aura combine 2 healing cards for cura and if
you were really badly hurt use curaga. He also has other attacks, but they
do little damage. Use your 7, 8, and 9 cards to break those and also
combine them for Strike raid and Sonic Blade. Hope you liked my strategy
if you used it and Good Luck!

11.2 Larxene (1680 HP)
Ok, appears that you will have to face this girl again... Personally I
took on her with exactly the same deck that I had taken against Riku, but
if you are having trouble, try adding some more Cloud cards to your deck.
Now, use the keyblades to attack when you have the chance for it (be
careful, since Larxene will sometimes break your cards), use the cards
with value 0 to stop of her attacks (you don't need to use those in this
battle, if you want just remove them and add some extra Cloud cards) and
heal when necessary, and I believe that by now you already know what I
mean by this...

Note of Above Deck. Don't slate any attack cards unless you need to.
That's the main reason for the Riku Card. Jafar is always useful if she
manages to break your attack cards. Vexen is for resurve but if you use
your cure cards one at a time (mainly while she's reloading or if you can
break her current card) then you won't need Vexen. He's mainly for
insurance.
I beat her fairly easily with this deck.
"
12. Axel (1680 HP)
As before, he is weak against Ice attacks, so my strategy for this battle
is somehow weird... Get lots of Ice cards, Cloud cards and healing cards,
none of them in a premium fashion. Now, equip as many Ice cards as you
can, then lots and lots of Cloud cards and finally some healing cards (as
many as you want, but personally I took 4 high level cards), plus some
keyblades with value 0 (I am not sure if you noticed this before, but in
order for a deck to be completed to need to have at least one keyblade
card on it!), in order to break one of his best attacks, in which he uses
some fire balls that just go round and round around you and hit you
several times, if you are not careful with it... And even if you are,
maybe you will take 1 or 2 hits from it... So, now go into battle and use
combos of 3 Ice Cards and combos of 3 Cloud Cards, always starting with
the card with lower value that you have on your deck, since you will loose
it when performing your combo. So, do this with both the Cloud cards and
the ice cards, but be sure to heal when necessary... This is the easier
way to defeat him, but there may be other ways, since most people don't
seem to have the same good cards I have, your better chance is taking your
best keyblades, as many Cloud cards as you can and lots (and I mean LOTS)
of healing cards. Now, strike with combos of 3 Cloud cards and with as
many single (DON'T USE COMBOS WITH THESE!) keyblades as you can, and heal
every time it is possible, but try not to spend any healing cards on
combos, as you will really need them. Using this technique you may face an
hard and slow battle which may take a long time to complete, but
eventually you will win... If you still are having trouble, try going back
and levelling up, in order to put even better cards on your deck.
Strategy by MzD:
"
Include 12-15 mid to high level keyblade cards ( 6-9), a few healing cards
(Tinkerbell, Cure,Bambi,), some items (Megalixer,Potion,Ether) all of them
being above 5, and about five 0 keyblades.
As far as enemy cards that are useful, Oogie Booige, Malificent Dragon,
Jafar, 2 Neo Shadows.
Place the five 0 keyblades at the very beggining of your deck (you can
skip over the 5 as soon as the battle starts, this allows you to have
quick acess to them when you need to card break.) Next place all your
remaining keyblade cards.Then your items, then your magic, with healing
magic first, then summons. Finally, place Malificent first in enemy cards,
then Jafar, then Oogie boogie, then the 2 neo shadows.
At the start of the battle, after skipping the first five 0 cards,
activate the Malificent Dragon card, this lets you hit for alot more
damage. Pound away on Axel, pressing R to shuffle to the left to acess a 0
card when needed, (note, you should see his firewall move as a blessing,
not an attack. If you are far enough away, you can use the slow moving
wall as time to shuffle your deck.) As for the 2 balls, card break them if
they are too close to you, but if you are far enough back, and U think you
can make it, you can roll through them, to land beside Axel for a few
hits. In doing all this, you will eventually get hit and have to heal,
rather than stopping to heal, just use your Oogie Boogie card, to keep the
fighting going. Once you have Axel down to about halfway to the green bar,
use the Jafar card to really let loose on him, he wont be able to break
any of your attacks. I reccomend placing the Tinkerbell and Bambi cards in
a combo with a high level card of some sort, doing this because I had low
level tinkerbell and Bambis, so he would always break them. So place a
Tink, then a bambi, then a level 9 card of some sort. to get enough
healing. Keep at it till you have Axel at 1/2 of his green bar, then for a
helping hand, activate a Neo shadow card to tick away at his life,
activate the other Neo Shadow when that runs out, and by this time you
should have him done.

Strategy by sepyroth1:

Well with my strategy it is pretty easy (very easy). first equip 3 or more
Cloud cards however many you like and a riku card. Make sure that when you
fight Axel the 3 Cloud cards are 8 8 and 6. when you start the battle
activate the Riku card you will be able to use a sleight 5 times and
available to reload them. Then use cloud with the 8 8 & 6 when you are
almost done with omnislash axel will knock off omnislash & guess what? when
you reload you will still have the 8 8 and 6! guess what else?! you will
not have wasted 1 single turn with riku's card!!!!!!!!!!! Keep repeating
this and you will beat him without breaking a sweat!!! Don't forget to
stock some cure's too.

Strategy by Dalton Folds:

Enemy cards required: Oogie Boogie, Pirate, Vexon, Shadow, Hook, and
Barrel Spider. (feel free to add more)
Abilities: Ragnarok, Ars Arcanum, Sonic Blade, Judgement, Omnislash, and
Curaga. (feel free to use more)
TIP: Try putting your cards in the order needed to use a sleight. I think
it is a good idea to put Ragnarok first to quickuse it.
Riku will usually start the fight off with a few normal combos. He will
eventually unleash a Dark Firaga on you. Jump behind him when you see the
sleight under his HP. Throughout the fight run around in non-stop circles
around him to dodge his attacks. When your HP is at half, use the Oogie
Boogie Card to start regaining HP. When used up, use Shadows and Barrel
Spiders for a while. Use Pirate to counter attack Dark Aura and Vexen
afterwards. Use Hook after Vexon to survive longer. After that continue
running circles and attacking from the sides or the back.

Strategy by Kirbyfreek33:
"
This is one of THE most annoying bosses I have ever battled. I say just
have at least this in your deck(any other cards for lots of damage ok)
keyblade 9 heal 7 heal 7 (premium doesnt matter). Tinkerbell is also
useful, but anyway...put all 3 of those cards in a combo(in that exact
order), but only when the keyblade is the ONLY attack card you have left.
This will take long if you didnt do any extra damage to start, but it
works very well. When you put the keyblade card first, if it's your last
attack card in your entire deck(all of the others unreloadable), none of
the cards will disappear because only the attack card would disappear, but
since its the last attack card in your deck, it won't disappear. Just keep
reloading those cards and stabbin or slashin him to death. It took me 10
minutes to beat him because its slow going a few damage points at a time,
but it works. It will slowly whittle away at his HP and then(after a
looonngg wait if you didnt do earlier damage) kill him. Dont worry if he
uses a 0 card, because you can just reload it again. I suggest you have
500-560(max in game) HP when you go against him.

12.1 Marluxia
Despite of what you could think, this turns out being a not very hard
battle... Just do what I tell you and I bet you will have a lot more
chances than you could think on first place! In the correct order (I mean,
in the same order that I am telling you), put lots of keyblade cards with
value 7, 8 and 9, lots of Cloud cards with high value (I mean, 7, 8 or 9),
at least 4 healing cards (with high values, of course...) and then 4 or 5
of the cheapest cards with value 0 that you can find. Now, attack him with
the keyblade cards of high value, with combinations of 3 Cloud cards (be
sure not to let him break them, as he has combo cards of high value but
sometimes he also uses cards wih value 0), use your cards with value 0 to
stop his combo attacks and also be sure to heal yourself before it is too
late. Also, be sure to be extremely careful with one of his normal
attacks, in which he raises his scythe and quickly makes an attack with
it, which seems to cause you more damage than most of the attacks he uses
(yey, the screen is full of petals! ... so what? -_- ), and that can turn
out being a problem. Apart from that, just keep on atttacking him with
everything you've got, also healing yourself, and after some time you
would have finished this batle...

Megalixer (7)
Riku
Dragon Maleficent
Neoshadow x2
My Strategy:
As soon as the battle starts, activate Maleficient's enemy card and begin
attacking Marluxia like crazy. If he uses his Deathscythe or Petal Dance,
use a zero card. After your Maleficient card is spent you can activate one
of the Neoshadows, but do this only after reloading. If you find your
health running low, play Riku and use Curaga. After you play Riku, feel
free to do an Omnislash if you like. Soon enough, Marluxia
will die.
A few tips:
- When reloading, head to the side out of scythe range, or you may be
damaged.
- DO NOT waste zero cards or perform sleights (except for Curaga and
Omnislash, with Riku in play).
-Take advantage of time when Marluxia reloads; either reload, heal, or
attack.
"
Strategy by Anna Neko-chan:
"
Just bring three or four "0" healing cards (this way, you BREAK his attack
and HEAL your ass). Also, few "9" or "0" keyblades, to form Zantetsuken
sleight.
Early in battle, when he does any of his sleights, you throw this at him.
Do this few times, and most of his deck is rendered useless!!
all "9"s form of Zantetsuken is to be used to destroy any "0" card he can
still use.
Now all he has left is normal singles cards, which are damn weak! Once he
strikes w/ his scythe, roll away and his back is wide open for 2-3 shots
Also, since he can't use many of his cards anymore, he'll be reloading a lot
- more openings to attack him.
"
12.2 Final Battle
So, you will be facing Marluxia on top of a giant robot, or something like
that, I don't actually know what THAT is... Personally I took into this
battle exactly the same cards that I had taken against Marluxia, but you
can choose your own options, based on everything that you learned on all
the battles up to now, but please to be sure to take at least 4 Cloud
cards of value 7 or above (not 0, please!). Now, start by attacking the
two arms of the robot until you destroy them. If he sends some some flying
flowers at you, be sure to break the cards that appear, that will destroy
one of the flowers. Once you destroyed the 2 arms, the real battle is just
starting. He seems to use lots of different attacks, but your best bet is
just staying "quiet" when you can't seem to attack Marluxia on top of the
robot and then just break all the cards he uses against you, that's an
easy task since he won't use any combos, and also be sure to attack
Marluxia when you get the chance for it. Then, when you get the chance of
jump on top of the robot, do it as soon as possible, and if Marluxia is
looking at your side, be sure to be really next to him and use a SINGLE
Cloud card, and keep on using them one by one until you are thrown out of
the robot back into the ground. Now, keep on repeating all this until he
dies, but be sure that heal ONLY when that action is sure to break one of
his attacks. Eventually you will be able to finish the battle and watch
the final sequence of the game!
Strategy by loffter:
"
Have 9 0 attack cards, at least 15 normal cards 7+ , 4 healing cards 7+,
and a 0 healing card. While he has his arms, use your numbered attack
cards to hit the arms, while you collect goofy and donald cards, and use
your 0s you break the pedal lasers if he uses them (they die instantly
when you card break them). Wait on the arms till they die.
when they are gone, he starts a very simple attack pattern. first, he will
charge you. He can use this attack up to 5 consecutive times. DONT break
it, let him do it, its a great chance to recharge your deck. Just listen
for the whooshing sound it makes before he comes back onscreen, and roll
through him. Then, he will have some things circling him. break out your
0s and you will get a 3 hit combo and break the attack while he is doing
this. He will do it 3 times in a row. after the 3rd time, he sends out
flower lasers. Either trinity limit, or attack them with your high level
cards, don't get hit cause if you get hit by 1, you get hit by them all.
once you destroy them, he will start charging his petal attack, use your 0
healing card to break it and heal. Then, he will atempt to crush you. Roll
at the last second to avoid getting squished, and you will be ok. Finally,
he will return to his normal position, then go to the opposite side of the
screen. Now he does his rushing attack like i mentioned at the start.
Listen for him and recharge your deck. this is the exact pattern he uses
CONSTANTLY. It does not change!

Strategy by SybreTiger:
"
Marluxia's first form was the hardest battle of the game for me. I didn't
beat him till my third try. But Marluxia's second form is easy. I didn't
get hit a single time against him. His pattern is the same every time. He
never even uses combos. Just bring in 20 (9) Keyblades, and break each of
his attacks until you can hop on his ship, then slay him with single Cloud
cards (don't use Sleights! don't use any for this whole battle), I had six
of them, two 8s and three 9s. You'll know the point when you can hop on his
ship, his pattern is basically like this:
(Oops, I forgot about the two sword thingies you hafta destroy before
he'll do the pattern I mentioned. But those are easy to destroy, just
attack them with your Keyblades. Bring a Megalixir just in case. Not at
all necessary though.)
Attack 1: Some fireballs circle him and then turn into ground flying
scythes.
Attack 2: Same as above, OR
Attack 3: He creates 3 Cherry Blossoms. Each of these will attack, unless
you break them. Break each one of them as soon as it attacks,
and it will disappear immediately. Repeat twice more.
Attack 4: After you break his Cherry Blossoms, his ship rises to where you
can't see his head. He'll try and plummet the point of his ship
down on top of you. Break the attack before it lands.
Attack 5: He'll plunge the point of his ship into the ground, creating a
shockwave, similar to his first form's shockwave. Break it
before it happens, as always.
Attack 6: Repeat of attack 4 I believe.
Attack 7: Immediately after attack 6, he'll swoop across to the other side
of the screen (he won't damage you). Right after this, he'll try
to do some attack, I've never seen it, so I dunno, but if you
immediately break it, he'll lower his ship to the ground, where
you can jump atop it, and slice him up with all your remaining
keyblades, and/or Cloud cards. Roll against the wind.
After you get blown off his ship, he'll repeat this entire pattern. I
suggest, if you need to heal, do it during the three Cherry Blossom
attacks. Have three 9 Cures, and use each one to break each Cherry
Blossom, then RELOAD YOUR DECK, because you'll want your Cloud cards back
for when you hop back on his ship.
Doing this, I never got hit once, on my first try against his second form.
Just remember to break every single one of his attacks, as soon as you see
his card fly to the middle of the screen, indicating he's used it. Don't
bother using 0 cards, as he'll never use combos, and your 9 cards are good
enough to take out any card he has. And don't ever attack him unless you're
on top of his ship. It's too hard to hit him otherwise anyway, because if
you do even manage to jump and hit him, you'll only get one hit in, cause
he seems to go invisible or something.

Strategy by SpikeRosered:
"
Start off by focusing on the swords on the front of the mech, avoid or
card break his attacks whilst doing so until they are both destroyed.
(Trinity Limit works good to cut their HP bars in half) After his swords
are gone Marluxia will just attempt single attack after single attack.
Though there is a simple trick I used to avoid almost getting any damage
whilst slowing nicking away at his health: Every time Marluxia attempts an
attack on you, card break it and he will be open for at least 2 keyblade
strikes. Basically that is what you should continue doing throughout the
entire battle. Even when he throwing the laser shooting flower petals,
wait till they are about to attack then card break them. There are 2
exceptions to this strategy though:
1. When he attempts to slam down on top of you creating an earthquake,
don't bother card breaking this, just jump and you will avoid the
attack.
2. When he attempts to slam you with his body, and you are able to jump up
on top of him this is the best opportunity to do him damage. While up
there he will turn around whilst throwing out 3 petal laser things. Try
your best to ignore the petal guns, for as long as they are alive you
are able to stay on top of his mech (He's always vunerable when you're
on his mech so you can just wail away at him) The only thing you have
to worry about his the wind which will atempt to push you away from
Marluxia's weak point. If you destroy all three petal guns it will
become impossible to stay up there and you'll be blown off.
After that point just repeat the steps I have previously, and slowly, very
slowly but surely you will have Marluxia defeated whilst taking minimal
damage. Make sure to have lots of cures and level 0 and 9 attack cards in
your deck. Those are all that really matter since summon cards will
probably miss as well as sleights. (at least in my experience) Make sure
to have those cures though, since he likes to shoot lasers at you while
you are recharging your deck, and nevermind your sure to make plenty of
mistakes whilst attempting to avoid and/or card break his attacks.

Strategy by PArasiteOfEvolution:

This strategy will make The final battle the easiest battle ever.
Pack your deck with Attack cards(red cards) doesnt matter which. Put it in
this order:
0 - [any number] - [any number]
Repeat until you have about 200cp left. Put 3 cures and 1 mega-ether
(optional).
When you battle with Marluxia pt2 attack the two swords below him with all
your might. No strategy there. When he attacks use a 0 card. Reload when
you don't have any 0 cards left, but if you have 9 cards you may choose to
continue beating on the swords.
When the swords are gone, reload. Wait until he attacks then card break
him with your zero card, then jump up and strike twice only. Remember
*TWICE ONLY* this makes it so that the next card you have will be a 0
card. repeat. Every time you card break him, he is left vulnerable and you
are able to strike him.
When he flies up just dodge his attacks or card break him. When he does
his charge towards you, the one when card breaked allows you get on his
ship, do go ahead and card break him and get on his ship. Reload while the
ship is still rising, then do dodge-rolls toward Marluxia and strike him
with your keys. When you feel that you need to heal, do so. This is the
only time you should be getting hit, since you would be card-breaking most
of his attacks. When you heal, jump off his ship and stock your cures,if
you have a mega-ether, but if you dont use them individually. Also
everytime you fall of the ship Reload you deck, marluxia wouldnt be able
to attack you as he takes time to get back down.
Summary of strategy: Card break Marluxia then strike twice.
"
Strategy by Keon Lee:
"
I beat Marluxia at I believe lvl 63. First part was easy. Take the arms
off by attacking. Simply put. Card break attacks or dodge. The petals that
shoot at you can be dodged by Dodge Roll and the petals that are shot at
you can be dodged by going up and down. When you take its arms off, the
battle becomes confusing. It will raise above you so you can only see the
bottom point. It will attempt to stab you three times, with time breaks in
between. Either jump or Card Break. If you Card Break the last one, you
will be able to attack its head for about 3 seconds. He will fly to the
other side of the screen, where he will lunge at you. Card Break him and
you will be on him. Start attacking and he will face you so he takes
damage. Three petals will be shooting at you, and if you stand still you
will fall off because of the speed. As you attack, you will notice that it
gets faster and you can't stay on, so fall off. Before he attacks you
again with the petals that are shot at you heal yourself with Cure(a(ga)),
whichever you need. Then dodge or Card Break to attack. He will try to
attack you with this attack three times, if you Card Break him. Then he
unleashes the petals to shoot at you. Card Break each time and attack him
until all three are gone. Then repeat until he dies. Note: As he loses
health, attacks are faster and give less time to think or react.
So to make it easy, simple steps:
1. Attack its arms to take them off
2. Dodge its Petal Orbs
3. Card Break when he attacks with Cherry Blossoms
4. Attack
5. Jump or Card Break to dodge crashing attack
6. When he flys across the screen, Card Break to get on him
7. Attack as much as you can before you get knocked down (Cloud is
recommended)
8. Repeat 2-7 as necessary.
9. Note: You can Card Break him anytime to attack for 3 seconds.
(P)= Premium Card (PP)= 2, etc.
The deck I use is:
1108 CP
Kingdom Key 9 9 (PP)
Diamond Dust 8 7
Ultima Weapon 5 5
Three Wishes 9 9
Fairy Harp 7 9 (PP)
One-Winged Angel 4 3

Riku
Vexen
Neoshadow
Oogie Boogie
If you want, you can get the cards in this deck to beat Marluxia, and I
beat him in about 3 minutes. The one I originally used now really sucks. I
don't suggest too many magic cards in this battle except for Cure, Aero
and Thunder. You don't need an item card.
"
Now, if you did i up to here you would have unlocked a new option in the
main menu, which will enable you to play as Riku.
13. Dragon Maleficent
There is not much you can do in this battle... Be sure to enter the battle
completely healed, and just jump as much as you can and try hitting the
enemy in its head, while using your attacks to destroy those green flames
that sometimes are created by her. This will sometimes grant you one of
those green mickey cards, which creates a platform that may be somehow
useful to you. Keep on hitting her and eventually you will win!
13.1 Ansem
Once again, there isn't much thing to do in this battle. Just hit him with
everything you have got (don't use combos against him, never do that when
you are playing with the "normal" Riku) and eventually you will win... Try
to avoid his special attack (performed with 3 combo cards), since it won't
damage you a lot but it can make you sad... Hope you can beat him easily,
as there isn't much choice here...
14. Guard Armor
Another easy battle, just start by attacking his 2 legs, then the 2 arms
and finally the rest of his body. If you want, use a combination of 3
Mickey cards (from now on, when I say this, it means the cards you get on
the field, not the green ones you usually got before!) which will cause
him a lot of damage and greatly heal you. Apart from that, attack as much
as you can and heal with Mickey cards! If you manage to get any of the
green ones, use them to instantly attack his head for some time!
15. Parasite Cage
Unlike you did with Sora, ignore the platforms and stay really in front of
the enemy. Now, give him everything you've got, but be sure to get all the
Mickey cards that appear in the screen, and use them to heal yourself (one
by one or in combos of 3) when necessary. Keep on striking and eventually
you will win this battle, but you can also use Dragon Maleficent's enemy
card (press SELECT in battle and then use it using A), which will increase
the power of your attack cards.
15.1 Vexen
As in the battles against Sora, he seems to be using a large shield, which
nullifies all the physical attacks that you use in front of him, so use
the Dragon Maleficent's enemy card and always strike him from behind, but
only when he is stopped or you will have an hard time hitting him. Keep on
doing that, avoiding (or breaking) is attacks when he performs a combo,
healing with Mickey cards and attacking him once possible. If Riku goes
into Dark Mode (I mean, your character will get some black clothes) and
strike faster, be use to perform a combo of 3 cards with value 9, which
will activate the Dark Aura special attack, which surely causes your enemy
an huge ammount of damage. But BE CAREFUL since this attack can only be
used on dark mode!
16. Captain Hook
Unlike the time in which you faced him with Sora, this battle turns now to
be a lot easier. As soon as possible, use Dragon Maleficent's enemy card,
and then attack him with everything you've got, never using combos or
stuff like that. If he seems to use the bomb combo, use a card with value
0 to break it, and it won't cause you more trouble. Also, and as usual,
use the Mickey cards to heal when necessary, and I bet you won't have any
trouble this time...
Strategy by samurai black:
"
You can just avoid him and his attacks until he uses the Pirate Heartless
card which turns all his cards into 0 values. Then all you have to do is
break his attacks until you turn into Dark Riku. The increased strength
and enhanced dodging ability makes him real easy.
"
17. Jafar
Easy battle, just try going all the times to the higher platform, jump and
try always striking Iago 3 times before falling. Just ignore the big red
Genie, since he is invulnerable as before, as strike like I told you, and
be sure to get any green mickey card to have all the platforms go up, and
use the Mickey cards to heal yourself. Keep on striking and eventually you
will win this easy battle...
17.1 Riku
Hum? You are fighting yourself? o_O Well, guess you will understand later
on what is happening here... As soon as you enter the battle, be sure to
use Jafar's enemy card (which will make your cards unbreakeable for 20
attacks) and give him everything you've got until that card wears off.
Then, use Dragon Maleficent's enemy card and keep on striking, and
eventually you will get into Dark mode. There, use your "Dark Aura" (yep,
that special combo attack that takes 3 cards with value 9 to perform) and
by that time he should be already defeated. ;-) If not, just keep on
striking him for more damage, as usual!
18. Oogie Boogie
This time, just use cards with value 7, 8 or 9 to break his cards and stop
one of the slots, once all three are down, you will get a chance to join
him in the platform and give him some serious damage, so at that point use
Dragon Maleficent's enemy card and strike him as much and as fast as
possible. Keep on repeating until he dies, but if you don't seem to have
any card with value 7,8 or 9, just reload your deck until you have one!
Good luck, I just hope you don't need any help in this one since it is
really easy...
19. Hades
Once again he may turn out being an hard battle, if you don't know how to
face him... First, use the cards with value 0 to break his combos, until
you reach Dark mode. Now, use Dragon Maleficent's enemy card and keep on
attacking him with your normal keyblade attacks. Strangely, each time you
use in sucession it will, at the third hit, perform a more powerful attack
that really damages Hades, so be sure to keep on hitting him. If you are
taken back to your normal mode, break more of his combos until you go to
Dark Mode again and repeat until he is defeated. Also, you can use your
"Dark Break" in dark mode, if you make a combo which total card value vary
between 5 and 15 or, even better, use your "Dark Aura", but for that you
will need three cards with value 9, and maybe you don't have them now...
Strategy by Charles_earvin:
"
There is really a simpler way to beat him. First of all you want to enter
darkmode then after you enter darkmode use the power wild enemy card which
would cause all your cards to reverse values meaning all your one value
cards now become 9 cards so use DARK AURA all you WANT and trash him up.
Simple simple strategy
!
"
20. Trickmaster
Really easy battle, just attack him with everything you've got and he will
easily die. I even doubt that you will need to use your Dark mode, since
just attacking him with your normal attacks and healing with the Mickey
card will be more than enough to beat him!
21. Ursula
If you are low in health (like I was), be sure to use the Oogie Boogie
enemy card as soon as the battle starts, since it will constantly heal you
for 10 seconds, time in which you should just hang around and dodge her
attacks. Now, every time she uses the bubble attack be sure to avoid it,
as you did with Sora, since it will cause Riku to stay confused for a
while, which is really bad for you. Then, use Dragon Maleficent's enemy
card and strike one of her middle tentacles, until she lowers it, and
then jump and strike her head. If you ever go into Dark mode, use it
wisely for an even easier way of defeating her. Just keep on repeating
what I said, healing with Mickey Cards when needed and using the green
mickey card if you get any (it will lower Ursula's head up to the ground,
so that you have an easier time hitting her) as soon as possible.
21.1 Lexaeus
Oh my god, he has a giant weapon! He is really strong! But... this is a
really easy battle! Like, he will mainly use combos, so be sure to break
them with a card with value 0, until you enter Dark mode. Now, just use
the "Dark Aura" move (yep, the one that takes three cards with value 9)
and it will cause your opponent and incredible ammount of damage. If he
seems to break that attack with a 0 card, just keep on repeating it (I
mean, using "Dark Aura" more times) and eventually you will win to him.
However, if you don't have more cards to perform "Dark Aura" with, just
reload your deck and attack him, in Dark mode, as the third strike will
greatly damage him, like what happened to a certain boss that you faced
before. But I must tell you of something... never try battling him in
your normal mode, since he would just kick you really hard... Your only
chance here is really going into dark mode, or else you can't really
beat him, unless you cheat...
Strategy by Chumi:
"
ok this is an easy boss, with this strategy it will be a piece of cake:
Just use combos to destroy his cards, not to attack (preferably not 9),
then when you enter dark mode, use dark aura and you will kill about
1 life bar. Do that again until you have no more 9`s.
Then use any sleight and try to dodge with the dodge command and use your
normal attacks but always reserve a 0 card for his sleights. When he uses
one, destroy it fast. It will be an easy task
"
22. Darkside
Here, the only problem is that you can't heal yourself, as Mickey seems
not to be in your party anymore. Start by breaking the enemy's attacks,
until you reach your Dark Mode. Now, you can just stay there, breaking
his attacks and attacking his face when possible, or you can also use
"Dark Break" attack (which is performed by a combo of 3 cards whose total
value would be between 5 and 15), but be sure only to use it when he isn't
about to disappear, or else you will miss the attack. Keep on doing that,
but be sure to always break the attack in which he sends some energy balls
into the air, as it can really damage you! Also, the best time for
striking is when he puts his hand in the ground, since the 3 attacks you
use from Dark mode can cause him some good damage. Apart from that, just
continue breaking the attack I told you, attack when possible and
eventually he will die!
23. Riku
First, be sure to enter in this battle with your HP bars full. This time
you will have to face him in a improved way, I mean, he will now have
exactly all the power that you have on your Dark mode. Start by breaking
some of his attacks (and the really careful, since you will REALLY need to
break his "Dark Aura" or you will be in big trouble) until you reach your
own Dark mode. Then, try seeing if you have cards for performing your own
"Dark Aura", and if you don't, you may be in some problems... First, use
Jafar's enemy card, and then You can just strike him without stopping, or
you can combine your cards to use a "Dark Break". However, be sure to
remember that you can't heal yourself, so you will have to strike as much
and as fast as possible, or you will be in big trouble. If you really
can't seem to beat him, level up and try getting more attack points, since
that way you will be able to cause him more damage!
Strategy by dragonblade3325:
"
This stategy breaks the "don't use sleights" one, and is also a way to
avoid the somewhat indirect cheating of the Jafar card. It makes the
battle easier in the long run, but requires extremly good card stocking
and manuevering skills. All you do is keep using stocks with the first
card being something low (particularly less than 7 or 8 and of course
don't give up any 0's) so that those cards are lost; you can use those
sleights or stocks to hit him potentially as well. Stop doing that when
you end with about 5 or 6 (something like that) good cards. Now all you
have to do is continuously attack; reload time will be about 2 seconds (if
you hit him with your last card you should be able to reload before he
attacks again). Also, you'll basically never leave dark mode thus
boosting your attacks (if you do it should take just a few seconds to get
back in).
It's really is an obvious strategy, maybe longer, but you shouldn't have
to worry about your HP as much as you do after the Jafar card effects wear
off.

Strategy by Athrun 2nd:

Study the deck before hand, learn were the holy 0 cards are, use those 0
cards to "dark mode" at the start from his sleights, dark aura, dark
firaga, beat him till at the end of your real of cards. when at 50% health
or lower, use the Oogie Boogie card & run around with a 0 card up.
"
Strategy by DrKArcher2778:
"
There's a wonderful trick to this fight. His enemy card is Sleight Lock,
meaning the first card of his sleight isn't destroyed when he used it. How
do you put this to use? Darkside's Enemy Card copies it, meaning those 3
9s will last you long enough for 6, count 'em 6, Dark Auras. Just reload
after each Dark Aura. Just break his normal cards and Sleights until you
go into Dark Mode, immediatly throw Darkside up, then start spamming Dark
Aura. After you finish using all 6 Auras, if he's not dead, just hit him
with Dark Firagas, Dark Breaks, or normal attacks enhanced with Dragon
Maleficent. He should go down with no trouble.
"
24. Ansem
This is the final battle, and be sure to enter it with a full HP bar or
you will be in big trouble. This surely gonna be the thoughest battle that
you will face in this game, so please only face it when you are really
ready for it. Personally I only fought him at level 94, but perhaps YOU
can do better than myself. First, Mickey is back, meaning that you will be
able to use him in the battle for healing yourself. However, that won't
surely be enough for this amazing opponent. As soon as the battle begins,
be ready to break ALL of his combos, as they are truly deadly. When you
enter Dark mode, use Dragon Maleficent's enemy card and strike him with
everything you've got, and in a non-stop way. If he seems to perform
another combo, be careful and quick break his combo, ALWAYS using cards
with value 0, not your own combos. I don't think it is a very good idea
for you to use your "Dark Aura", since he can break it or avoid it by
putting his hearthless in his front, which completly blocks the damage of
an attack. Personally, I thought that the best chance for causing damage
to him was just striking him in Dark mode, mainly because of the extra
damage given by the third strike... However, you will notice that most of
the times he just puts the hearthless in front of him, preventing any
damage, so you must just keep on striking and eventually it will go away,
and at that moment you will be able to damage him. When you need to heal
yourself, always do it with a combo, mainly of 3 Mickey cards (if you have
them at that moment) which will completly heal you, or only using 2 Mickey
cards plus a normal card, but be sure to pick a card with an high value.
If, despite all this you can't really seem to defeat him, just go fight
some more enemies and get more level ups, since this is going to be the
toughest battle in the entire game and you will surely need all the help
that you can get!
Strategy by RitzBitsCrackerz:
"
Ok here is a really easy was to defeat Ansem. Stand on the side of the
screen and whenever he attacks, block with a normal attack card or a 0
card. Just continue this even into dark mode. Don't try to continue
attacking or you will just get a card break and become wide open to
attacks. Just keep chipping him down and if you get low on life, just use
a combo of mickey cards and attack cards(starting with mickey cards so you
dont loose attack cards). You might think this method is cheap and lame
but it works =)
"
Strategy by PersonaFantasy:
"
Usually, you're given a pre-set deck of cards Riku can use for that
particular area (Depending on the original difficulty of the area
according to KH for PS2. Hopefully, at the last area where you face
Ansem, you should have two dozen 6-9 cards, and about maybe three or four
0 cards. That's all you really need. Right from the start, counter him
card for card (He plays a card, you break it, repeat). If you continue
this for a few rounds you'll enter dark mode (He'll usually take this time
to activate a sleight) immediately follow up with a 0 to break the combo
and repeat the process you did from the start of the match (He plays, you
break) until you're left with either weak cards or 0s. If you've got 0s
left, just wait until he uses a sleight and break it. Once he starts
reloading his deck, reload yours and attack with a three card combo. (He
should still be reloading because he has about 50-60 cards in his deck)
If he manages to get some lucky shots on you (Breaking your cards, or the
card you played to break him wasn't strong enough), stock Mickey cards and
either wait until he reloads to use them or pray he doesn't break your
stock. Repeat this process until he falls. I beat him at lvl 51, but it
was a CLOSE match (I killed him with a 0 counter, but he was able to land
a sleight on me, which left me with about 10 HP or so. The bar was
literally just a tiny slice of green next to the character mug-shot).

Strategy by Athrun 2nd:
"
Get a good feel for the deck, got to dark mode as soon as possible, use
dark aura twice, then use dark firaga....a lot, that should weaken him
(and your deck) to the point were dark break (which is what you should get
if you've been jamming on the shoulder buttons the whole time) should
finish him off. If health is low, again, Oogie Boogie for the regen
effect. I never once used a "the king" card in this fight (because Ansem
always broke them...) but you may have more luck with it, healing is
always good.

This is an hard battle, well a very hard battle, so hard that it may make
you crush your gameboy in rage. I did this at level 50 and slid by I
suggest that you do it at 60. First, when the battle starts use the dragon
card. After that, combo him till you get dark mode. Once you do that, run
far away and start spamming dark firega like mad. This way you hurt him a
lot from a range without geting hurt much. Use Oogie when you get mid
green hp. Took me a ton of trys but if you have low Str it may be the best
chance you got. One last thing.. Never use Dark aura its a waste. Sorry if
this does not work but it is what I used to finish this guy off once and
for all.

Strategy by Rayne:
"
Okay, this boss is easy... sorta... i was level 40 when i beat him.
Make sure you have AT LEAST! 30 dp (Dark Points). What you do is simple.
Your deck should be full of several 0 cards, situated directly behind your
reload card (the black one). You should also have at least 24 AP (attack
Points) or else you are hopelessly screwed. So what you do to start, is
break all of his cards with a high attack (6-9) and only use your 0's on
his sleights, which can deal a vicious amount of dammage. Break his cards
until you get to Dark Riku mode. Now, use the Dragon Maleficient card, and
beat the living crap out of him, with three hit combos, and use the
occasionnal Dark Firaga (only one or two. This will stun him, and give you
time to damage him without his Heartless in the way. But, the three hit
combo also stuns him and does more dammage.) the second you leave dark
mode, reload your deck instantly. Now, do the same thing as before. If you
are low on health, use a sleight of mickey. NEVER USE ONE ON ITS OWN, FOR
ANSEM WILL BREAK IT! if you get too low, use REGEN (Oogie Boogie's card)
and if all else fails, you need to use Second Chance (Captain Hook) and
use as many combos as possible, so you can get some King Cards. If you
only have two Kings (Mickey Mouse) use two of them, with a 9 attack card
at the end.
If both you and Ansem are low on health, may i suggest you equip
Berserk
(Hades) and attempt to beat the crap out of ansem. This is an easy boss,
if you know what you are doing, and i hope that i can help :)

You said Ansem is really hard, but if you know a simple trick, you can

Simply go into dark mode, and put on maleficant. tap the b button twice,

Riku will slash downwards, keep doing this as quickly as you can and you
should be able to beat him no problem.

Ok I just beat ansem at level 44 with 350 life 40 DP and 19 AP. Here's
what you do. At the beginning of the fight scroll through your enemy cards
and go to Jafar, then switch back to your normal attack cards. Try to
break all of Ansem's attacks with normal cards. If Ansem does a sleight
break it with a 0. Never use your own sleights in this battle Unless they
are Mickey cards. When you reach dark mode Ansem will likely take this
opportunity to perform a sleight so break it with another 0. Now use that
Jafar card you have set up and ready. Just keep sending attack after
attack at him till your Jafar and dark mode both run out. Around this time
you should start to get to somewhat low life so use Oogie Boogie and while
you are regenerating continue to break ansems attacks. When your Oogie
Boogie wears off use Ursula to reduce the damage you take. Around this
time you'll probably be switching into dark mode again. Just keep throwing
attacks and countering sleights with 0's till you are no longer in Dark
Mode. By this time you should have accumulated three Mickey's so dodge and
counter for a while until you see that Ansem either reloads his deck or if
you are feeling brave just wait until he doesn't have a sleight prepared
and then use the three Mickey's in a sleight to heal yourself to full. Go
into Dark mode again and use Dragon Maleficent. As usual just pummel Ansem
with attacks. By the time Dragon Maleficent wears off Ansem should be dead
or close to it. Just keep sending attacks at him till you have it. You
win!!

Strategy by Keon Lee:
"
I don't believe it... When I was reading the guide the people had to be
level 60... I beat him at 39. Here's what you do. When you enter the
battle, press R twice immediately. It's to get to your stack of 0 cards to
Card Break him. When he uses a card, Card Break him. When you get over 30,
you'll go into Dark Mode, but he'll stop you from doing the backflip
thing. Dodge Roll, or Jump to the other side as your deck reshuffles.
After that just press A as your life depends on it. If he uses a sleight,
go to your 0 cards at the end of the deck to Card Break him. When you go
out of Dark Mode, repeat strategy above. Don't have too many The King
cards, or it'll take you a while to get to your 0 cards. When he shuffles
his deck, either attack him if your health is high, or heal using The
King. First time when your health goes down below 1/2 bar, heal with Oogie
Boogie. I didn't have to touch the L and R buttons at the same time. I
beat him with 1 1/4 bars of health. Then again, that's almost whole since
I only have 1 1/3. 560 HP, 18 AP, 32 DP. If you can't hit him, meaning
that his Guardian is blocking it, press B twice quickly to jump to the
other side, where you can continue your onslaught.Note: When you're
shuffling your deck as Riku for your 0 cards, Ansem uses two attacks. If
he says "Submit!" then jump towards him about a 1/2 second after he says
it. If the screen goes dark, jump to the other side of him immediately, as
he shoots a beam type attack forward.
