Kingdom Hearts II/Optional Bosses (Final Mix)


 * These bosses are only for the Final Mix version of the game.'

Larxene
The woman you fight is not the same Larxene you knew before, but only her foudre or her finger knives imprinted with her soul, memories, body, personality and skills. It also is a bit different than the original Larxene, as it uses a different fighting style.

Zexion(Data)
Zexion has the ability to trap Donald and Goofy in books. Constantly attack them to release your allies. Beware, your foe can also trap Sora in a book, sending you to the book world. This attack can be avoided with a well timed dodge roll.

In the book world, books will attack you as well as enemies, Use reflega to block the attacks and destroy the books. Now find Zexion and attack him until you get a reaction command, use it to get out.

Zexion also has an attack that will trap Sora in book that will damage him over a period of time, to get out, mash the reaction command button. Otherwise, this battle is straightforward. Keep attacking until you kill him.

Roxas(Data)
Data Roxas' Attacks:

Circle Slice- This is Roxas' very first attack in the game. He will tuck in his keyblades across himself and then slash them, which has a large radius, enough to nip at the very beginning.

Quick Run- Roxas will do this often to move toward you. What he does is turn into a bright light and moves around like a pinball. This could lead to most of his attacks.

Overhead Slash- Roxas will jump into the air and then slash horizontally toward you, which if you get hit, sends you up a few feet.

Keyblade Combo- Roxas will combo you with his keyblades and then, finish with what seems to be his version of Guard Break. If you get hit by on slash, you will be hit by all of them.

Berserk Starter- This is where Roxas runs to the center, floats up ward, and shoots many beams outside the battle area, changing the sky color. Then Roxas uses his keyblades to send many homing energy balls toward you that cause moderate damage.

The End- This is exactly like the attack duel stance on the assassin nobodies, except that it goes by much faster and if you win, you get to take light versions of Roxas' keyblades.

Enclosing Light Pillars- Roxas only does this if you take his keyblades in The End. He will send many light pillars surrounding you and enclosing on you, causing damage. This is an annoying attack because you never get to finish a combo this way, unless you get far enough away from the pillars.

Keyblade Razor- Roxas attacks you with his keyblades twirling around like razors, which combos you and finishes with him emitting a dark aura, sending you far back.

Now for the actual battle. The key to winning is waiting for the right move and not having to see many of these attacks hitting you. Anyway to start off, immediately guard or dodge roll toward roxas to dodge his opening attack, then open with a combo, then run away. I also recommend taking explosion and berserk charge off your abilities. Now the attacks that come up are: Circle Slash, Overhead Slash, and Keyblade Combo. The key to dodging them and attacking Roxas is to fly around and wait for the Keyblade Combo. After he finishes his combo and is about to do his "Guard Break" stop flying and immediately put up guard. This puts Roxas backward and unguarded, leaving an opening for a combo. After your combo, run and fly and keep doing this until he does The End. If you lose The End, he will continue to do the following moves, so keep repeating what you have done. Otherwise, you now have Roxas keybladeless, which forces him to do his enclosing Light Pillars. To dodge these I recommend Limit Form and doing Sonic Blade to give you a chance for a combo, which will send his light pillars towards him afterwards. Eventually, he will get close to you and take his keyblades back. Use the reaction command, reversal behind him and combo him. After that he will do Berserk Starter. To dodge this, fly around the arena to dodge the energy. Now from here on out, his attacks will be advanced, which means that most of his attacks involve light pillars. Just keep doing what you were doing before and avoid trying to get hit until you have defeated Data Roxas.

The Lingering Spirit
Guard can block most of his keyblade related attacks. Use Dodge Roll to roll right into the cannon's blast. Usually after he's done attacking, there's a point where he's not invincible. Use a five-hit combo with no Guard Break but just Explosion three times. He will then counter attack with his gliding move or his whip attack. When his health gets to a certain point, he uses his Limit. Use Guard to block the first stage of his limit. On the second stage, Glide far away from him the best you can. On the third stage, right after he vanishes, lock-on and guard at the same time. Keep on guarding. When he's done attacking, attack him right away. Use 2 five-hit combos and then stop and repeat his Limit until you win.
