Alright, let's dive into Part 27! This section's gonna cover two pretty memorable boss fights: the Prison Keeper and Oogie Boogie. Don't worry, I'll walk you through exactly what you need to do to take them down.

Prison Keeper Battle

You'll face the Prison Keeper, a Heartless that has a unique mechanic: it swallows Lock, Shock, or Barrel, and its attacks change depending on who's inside. Keep your HP topped off and be ready to react!

• When Lock is swallowed: The Prison Keeper will shoot fireballs from its mouth and hands. You can bat these back, but it's generally better to use Quick Run to get close and combo. Its hands will be red during this phase.
• When Shock is swallowed: Its hands turn yellow, and it starts spinning in circles, releasing energy balls as it rises and falls.
• When Barrel is swallowed: Its hands turn green, and it'll try to rush you with wild attacks.

Strategy: Focus on aerial combos to keep your damage going. When the Prison Keeper transitions between phases, you can get close and use the 'Inside Combo' Reaction Command to stun it. Valor Form is your best friend here because it lets you dish out a ton of damage with aerial combos. Towards the end, it'll swallow all three kids and use all its attacks at once. In this final phase, Blizzard or Wisdom Form are good choices because you can keep your distance, but you can still get in close for melee if you need to finish it off.

Emerald Blue Encounter

As you head back to Christmas Town, you'll run into a new Heartless called the Emerald Blue. It's pretty annoying with its wind magic.

The Emerald Blue uses Aero to create a protective barrier around itself. When it has Aero active, it'll charge at you from above, knocking you back. Sometimes, it'll use a Tornado to pull you in, then back off to charge while you're disoriented. It's best to take these out quickly in a group; letting them linger can be a real pain.

Oogie Boogie Boss Fight

After that, save up at Yuletide Hill and make your way to Santa's House, then into the Factory. Time to face Oogie Boogie!
