Description: The one and only blue-flame headed Hades that rocks a black robe.
Notes: He can be very hard if you are at a low level. Let me just say don't be fooled to think that you are no hurting him, you are, just keep hitting. First of all he cannot be harmed by anything with his back turned. Second of all he has two modes: berserk mode and regular mode. In Berserk mode, he's much stronger, faster and attacks more often. When he goes berserk, just pummel him cause he will try to attack you more. Be careful of his fireballs. He will also do a fire spin. To avoid this run the direction he is spinning and make sure you stay close to him so it'll be easier. Sometimes when he is berserk, you cannot dodge this. This attack can be very deadly; it can kill your allies very quickly. Also he is invincible when he does the fire spin so don't waste MP trying to hurt him. You should attack him most when he's berserk or throwing fireballs with Ars Arcnum.

Description: It's a giant Ice Titan! It has sharp body parts and is blue.
Notes: This is one of the most drawn out and longest fights in the game. For one, you cannot reach him at all with anything. The only true way to hurt him is to deflect his icicles at you. Do not, I repeat, do not cast Aero or you won't be able to deflect his icicles. Your best chance is to run to a corner on the stadium. From there, deflect the icicles. Keep trying; it's kind of annoying because of the icicles coming out of the ground. Try to dodge them but don't worry too much. Also jump and cast heal so you don't get hurt or heal right when you get hurt. Once you hit him enough, he will fall. Superglide to him and hit him as much as possible, cause you only have little time. Now he will stand back up and have some new moves. Run very quickly back to your corner. He will shoot out a barrage of icicles. This is the perfect chance to deflect a lot of them back. Then he will blow Frost Breath and you will be frozen. This hurts. To avoid it, run to a corner and it won't touch you. He will also drop ice balls on you, just roll or run out the way. This battle is very tedious and long. But repeat the process and keep deflecting the icicles and you will win.

Notes: These guys can be tough. They pack some power and are very mobile. One move they have is where they plant their sword into the ground and they morph into these dark rings. A dark ring will appear around you. Just as it closes on you jump and sometimes you will dodge it. These guys can be tough, but they should go down once you got good defense and weapon.

Description: It's a sixed arm giant robot that looks Persian or some sort.
Notes: This battle can be hard if you are not ready or leveled up. As soon as you get into the battle, summon Tinker Bell. She will heal your party, and is very useful, cause you magic will be disabled. Lock onto the orbs in its hands, whack at those. Also it is very mobile so you may have to use Superglide to chase or dodge it. Once they are destroyed, it will fall into the sand. Attack the head until it regains conscious. No you can use magic, but Zisa has a protective barrier around it now. Constantly cast Thundaga on it to break it. Beware of its attacks though; just dodge them with tech roll. Cast Aeroga too. Once the barrier is broken, he will fall again. Attack the head once again. After it awakes, it will reinitiate his two orbs sequence and repeat it all over again. So cast Tinker Bell before it locks you magic. Repeat the strategy and you will win.

Since meeting the king, who has been so vigilant against the Heartless, Leon has sought the truth behind the "key".
Description: It's Squall, with longer hair. He looks a lot like his father.
Notes: The first time you fight Squall is easy; just attack him. His attacks aren't too damaging. But at the tournament, you can tell he's been training, cause he's pretty challenging the first time you challenge him there. Well Squall never fights you alone, but if you are fighting Yuffie and him, kill Yuffie first, since she has long range. If it's Cloud and him, kill him first since he's the weaker one. Squall's first sequence is pretty easy. Just attack him and guard his attacks. His second sequence when he powers up his gunblade and it extends, he's very aggressive and stronger. He now has range on his side and he's aggressive. So attack him and don't let him attack you or you will suffer pain.

Notes: This battle can be tough one. Make sure you got Strike Raid and some ethers. As long as you have MP, do not take this dragon on head on. First jump and glide onto its back. Then run towards its neck and lock onto it. No use Strike Raid and do the full move. After each Strike, the menu will say Raid and it will light up, that's when you press X again. Keep doing this attack combo and you take a chunk out of the HP. Once you run out of MP, use Ethers. Once you run out of Ethers, unless an attack barrage on it. You will probably fall off. Now you must try you lock head on. If you regain enough MP, hop back on it and do Strike Raid. Ars Arcnum works well too. Also the Dragon can knock you off somethings, but just glide back on. Remember that if you attack it head on, you are vulnerable to very powerful attacks.

Notes: This battle is longer and annoying than any other. You cannot hurt Phantom unless he lets you. Be sure to stock up on Ethers or Elixirs and have both MP Rage equipped. First of all lock onto on of the Clock hands and cast stop on it. If you do not, it will count down and an ally will be taken out of this battle. You must constantly cast Stop on the hands every once and a while. Ok to hurt the phantom, you must cast a spell or attack according to the color of an orb that appears under his cape. When it is:

Red – Fire
Blue – Blizzard
Yellow – Thunder
White – Physical Attack

Remember to time your attacks. Since the Phantom flies, it's quite hard to hit it. You will find that some attacks that the Phantom deals cannot be evaded. You'll just have to take it and heal. After a very long battle, you will win. Don't forget about the Clock Hands.
