After the scene, follow the man in black up to the Summit. There will be many surrounding Heartless in this battle, but you can feel free to ignore them. Take out two of his health bars, then make your way to the Imperial Square. Defeat the Heartless in your path and continue forward to the Palace. Inside, you'll have to do battle with some Nobodies, fittingly those commanded by Xigbar: the Snipers. They will shoot bullets that freeze midway to Sora's location, and will hit him no matter where he moves. This is only if Sora performs the Warp Snipe reaction command to counter the bullets, warping to their location and kicking them right back at the Snipers. After the battle, you'll find yourself in the Throne Room. Pick up the '''Palace Map''' from the highest ledge to the left of the throne, then drop down for an '''Ogre Shield'''. To the right are '''[[../100 Acre Wood|Torn Pages]]''' and a '''Queen Recipe''', and directly behind the throne is a '''Mythril Crystal''' and '''Orichalcum'''. To the side of the staircases to the left and right are two '''AP Boosts'''. Exit the palace to begin the final battle of the world.
===Boss: Storm Rider===

The party begins the battle on top of the high-flying Heartless. Use the reaction command to make Sora hang onto the Storm Rider's horn, as the presence of the reaction command prompt is an indicator that it will attempt to shake Sora off. Wait for it to finish its flip, then press {{psx|T}} again to let go. Lock on to the large horn in the center of its head (or the two smaller horns on the sides; they won't affect its health, but they will impede its conduction of harmful electricity) and begin to combo it, hanging on again if necessary. Inevitably, the Heartless will shake Sora off, and you'll have to find your way back on top. Fortunately, there are pockets of wind scattered across the ground; measure your jump so that you land on the Storm Rider's back, then continue to attack.

When the Storm Rider begins to fly low, another reaction command will become available. You also have the option to use Mulan's limit, as the rest of the party is now able to reach their enemy. When enough of its health is depleted, it will perform its desperation move, landing low on the ground but trapping Sora between two walls, making for a narrow arena. It will then send lightning bolts across the area, even going so far as to summon a big mass of energy, creating a blast that takes up most of the field. Attack it before it performs its final attack, and eventually, the walls will be cleared up and it will be back up in the air. Deplete all of its health to get an upgrade in Sora's Thunder magic, an increase in maximum HP for Donald and Mulan, and '''Tornado Fusion''' for Goofy. Continue to [[../Beast's Castle#Second visit|Beast's Castle]].
