Tips
  • Gargoyle Warrior: Immune to magic. Guard and counter its attacks like Tomahawk, Bamboo Splitter, and Spin Attack.
  • Beast Boss Fight: Use Cogsworth's Reaction Command "Wake Up" to stun Beast. After draining his health, use Cogsworth again and mash Triangle for the "Charge" Reaction Command to end the fight. Beast attacks with slashes, bites, and a roar that incapacitates Cogsworth.
  • Lance Soldier: Quick attacks can deal significant damage. Use the Reaction Command "Lance Tug" to counter its rush attack. In groups, use Blizzard and Thunder to defeat them quickly and avoid "Reckless Lancing." The Lance and Soldier are separate but the Heartless is considered one being.
  • Shadow Stalker/Dark Thorn Boss Fight:
  • Shadow Stalker Phase: It possesses walls, chandeliers, or columns. Stay to the sides behind columns when it's the wall. Run tightly around it to avoid energy beams when it's the chandelier. Find the column it's on and avoid flailing when it's the columns. Jump away when it emerges from the floor. Use the "Release" command after defeating its possession.
  • Dark Thorn Phase: Focus on attacking while it's invisible to trigger the "Stepvault" Reaction Command, leading to commands that make it visible. Dodge its spin attack or use the Reaction Command to hit it back. Using Limits and Valor Form can speed up the fight.
  • Beast Boss Fight: Gained Armor Slot (Sora), +4 HP (Donald), Defender (Goofy).
