Part 44

Kingdom Hearts 1.5 + 2.5 ReMIX Part 44 covers the Brink of Despair, Sorcerers, and the Xigbar boss fight. Learn strategies and find items.

You can obtain Final Form at any time after defeating Roxas. Use the new Two Become One Keyblade to increase your chances of this happening since it is random, like Anti Form. When you learn Final Form you'll be able to level forms to 7.

Head to the Brink of Despair to obtain the [DARK CITY MAP] (8/19). Save and visit the Moogle Shop. Don't miss the small chest to the left for an [ORICHALCUM+].

Stiltzkin's Moogle Shop Inventory:

• Wisdom Wand ....... 2000
• Knight Defender ... 2000
• Potion ............. 40
• Hi-Potion .......... 100
• Ether .............. 120
• Tent ............... 100

Nobody's Home

Head up to the next area for a quick scene. This area has plenty of Nobodies and one in particular is new and dangerous, the Sorcerer.

Sorcerer

• HP: 160
• Experience: 1000
• Drop: Twilight Crystal (12%), Serenity Crystal (4%)

Sorcerers use magic cubes to prevent melee combat, but a well-timed Reflect can cause significant damage and even take out a Sorcerer in a single blow. Magnet works well too, it stuns the Sorcerer allowing for a melee combo. It's also possible to defeat Sorcerers before the cubes are summoned, a preferred method.

Open the first chest for an [ORICHALCUM] (11/19) then continue up to find Snipers and more Sorcerers. Pick up the [MYTHRIL GEM] (10/19) and continue into the next area. This platform is just an elevator, on the far end is [TWILIGHT #26]. Defeat the Dragoons as you ascend then enter Twilight's View. Collect the [COSMIC BELT] (12/19) from the chest, save your game, then enter the Hall of Empty Melodies. A lengthy scene occurs and then a boss fight with Xigbar!

BOSS: Xigbar

HP: 1300
Strength: 45
Defense: 26
Experience: 0

As soon as the battle begins, Xigbar warps to a balcony and begins sniping Sora. Dodge until you receive the Reaction Command "Break" then use "Warp Snipe" a few times to get Xigbar to warp back down and face off like a man. He is still quick and hard to hit, much like the Sniper Nobody. Xigbar does need to reload however and that is a great time to attack. You could close in on Xigbar and be prepared to Guard to reflect the lasers back at him. Throughout the entirety of the battle, Xigbar will change the floor making it more difficult to close in on him.

The battle repeats this cycle until Xigbar reaches 35% HP. He shouts, "You're gonna pay!" then turns the room into a tiny square and begins an assault, rapidly firing lasers. An easy tactic is to run in circles and use Reflect if you ever get caught, but just because you dodge the initial wave doesn't put you in the clear. You need to dodge the follow-up attack in the same manner or you will likely fall. As with all battles against the great Organization XIII, using forms isn't the best idea since you have a much higher chance to enter Anti-Form. End the battle as soon as you can but keep enough MP to heal just in case.

After the battle you receive [SECRET ANSEM'S REPORT 3]. Continue your ascension at Naught's Skyway where you can obtain a [MYTHRIL GEM] (13/19). Further up the ramp are an [ORICHALCUM] (14/19) and a [MYTHRIL CRYSTAL] (15/19). In the next area you get another awesome scene and the [OBLIVION] Keyblade afterwards, as well as the [CASTLE THAT NEVER WAS MAP]. Continue to the Proof of Existence where you'll want to save, you have two boss fights coming up, and grab [TWILIGHT #34].
