Walkthrough

1
Luxord Battle: This is a time-based battle. Both Sora and Luxord have a Time Meter; the objective is to deplete Luxord's meter to 0 before Sora's runs out or Sora's HP is depleted.
2
Luxord's Attacks: Luxord will turn Sora into dice (dodge until restored), summon attacking cards (defeat them for MP), and use card-based mini-games.
3
Card Mini-Game 1: Luxord initiates a card game. Press Triangle to accept. The command menu changes to "X's and O's." Wait for "O" to appear at the top when the cycle slows and select it. Success deals significant damage to Luxord and depletes his Time Meter; failure drains Sora's time.
4
Luxord as a Card: When Luxord turns into a card, rotate the camera to easily identify and attack him.
5
Luxord's Final Phase: When Luxord's Time Meter is below 30%, he places cards on the battlefield and slashes. Dodge these until he warps away and creates a wall of cards around Sora.
6
Card Mini-Game 2: In this mini-game, you must get an "O" in each command slot quickly. Winning deals significant damage and depletes Luxord's Time Meter; losing drains Sora's time.
7
Finishing Luxord: After his time has expired, finish Luxord with melee attacks.
8
Saix Battle: Saix has a Berserk Bar that fills up. When full, he goes Berserk. Dodge his attacks and collect the claymores left behind.
9
Saix Strategy: Use "Eclipse" then "Magna Storm" to hit Saix and revert him to his normal state, where he is more vulnerable.
10
Saix's Moon Phase: Saix may attempt to go Berserk quickly by charging the gauge. Break his concentration by attacking him.
11
Xemnas Battle: At the start, Sora becomes ensnared as Xemnas warps to the top of the area.
