Power: Very Strong
Defense: Strong
Info:
A swordsman who wields the gunblade. His real name: Squall Leonheart. He
escaped to Traverse Town when the Heartless raided his home world. To part
with his old self, a man who had been helpless to stop them, he changed his
name. 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.

This fight is much like Jafar's, except she's on a platform. Her attacks can
be damaging, but nothing major with Aero. Jump on the platform and attack.
She will sometimes knock you off, but just hop back on. You can also cast
Gravity on the platform, which brings her down. Also the platform can be
damage. Let the enemies she summons be taken cared of by your allies.

During Hollow Bastion:
HP: 400%
EXP: 6000

Defense: Strong
Info:
Maleficent became a huge dragon when the Keyblade released the darkness in
her heart. The dragon wielded both Maleficent's power and the terrible forces
of darkness.
Description:
She turns into a huge, black, and spiny backed dragon.
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.

This fight is so annoying. His little contraption is very tedious. Just wait
until he gets into the same section that you are in and step on the button.
This will cause the section to rise. Attack Boogie with all you got before he
knocks you off again. The spinning machine has some strange attacks like
spinning blades and such. Try to hope over them or just roll. Also Boogie
will toss things towards you too.

Fira too if you got the MP to spare. The second battle is a little harder.
This time you have to fight it with its new poison attack that can be
devastating. Also be careful not to fall into the stuff, it can hurt you. But
if you just keep bashing it, and using Aero and Cura, you'll be fine.
Remember that it can't be hurt from behind.

Having no physical body, regular attacks were useless, but in the end Sora
and company discovered its weakness and prevailed.
Description:
Looks like a phantom. He's very ghostlike and flies.
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.

weakness of heart and possessed him.
Description:
He's you best buddy turned against you, the white-haired and muscular

Riku is pretty tough this time, since you are alone. You can still defeat
him easily. Just guard his moves, and attack with Ars Arcnum or other
attacks. You should have the Metal Chocobo or Olympia key chain. Riku attacks
with some moves like yours, such as Strike Raid. Just glide around to dodge
most of his moves. Don't forget to cast Aero and Cure.

again courtesy of Hades.
Description:
It's a humongous two head giant made of rock.
Notes:
This guy is a sitting duck. He barely moves, but his attacks can be very
devastating, almost as strong as Sephiroth. Be careful of its stomp and neck
clamp, it will hurt you a lot if you are not leveled up. First, lock onto a
leg and keep smashing it. Don't be fooled with the hidden purple bar, you're
hurting him. Once you hit him enough, he will fall on his but. Hop onto its
knee and jump between the two heads and attack one. Use anything except
Strike Raid and Ragnarok. Ars Arcnum works well and regular attacks too. This
guy is not aggressive at all, so you shouldn't have problems. Sometimes the
Neck Clamp will knock you off and he will stand up again. Just repeat the
strategy.
