Master the Final Episode boss fight against Terra/Xehanort in Kingdom Hearts HD 2.5 ReMIX. Learn strategies for both rounds, including key commands and defensive tactics.
Walkthrough
- 1Ensure Aqua has Once More and Second Chance equipped for this difficult fight. A maxed-out Dark Screen can help mitigate damage.
- 2Equip numerous healing commands, along with Magic Hour and Time Splicer, as they are highly effective.
- 3Use Barrier to deflect Terra's Shotlock bullets back at him for significant damage.
- 4When Terra attacks with a combo, block it and use Counter Blast.
- 5When Terra slides around the battlefield and stops, use Magic Hour or Time Splicer.
- 6For Shotlocks, do not aim for a max lock as Terra will likely dodge most of them.
- 7After defeating Terra, the presence within him will rise for a second round.
- 8Round 2 is generally easier but still challenging. Terra will use a new attack, firing twin blades from long range.
- 9Use this twin blade attack opportunity to make up for the lack of successful Shotlocks in the first round.
- 10Timing for the twin blade attack: start locking when Terra's arms turn blue and release right as the waves reach you to become invulnerable.
- 11Magic Hour and Time Splicer remain great commands for when Terra uses the twin blade attack or when you are playing defense.
- 12Periodically, Terra will pull Aqua into an alternate dimension and throw dark orbs at her.
- 13To counter the dark orbs: cartwheel diagonally towards Terra and do not attack.
- 14Wait for the trigger command (Square then X) when close to Terra to perform “Dual Limit” and deal massive damage.
- 15Be aware that The Presence can grab you in the early stages and piledrive you for massive damage.
- 16Later in the dimension phase, you will need to dodge then hit the buttons when next to Terra to deal a significant chunk of HP damage.
Tips
- Counter Blast is useful in the first part of the fight due to Terra's speed.
- Terra can dash through mine attacks, so they are not an effective tactic against him.
- When Terra pulls you into the alternate dimension, focus on dodging the dark orbs and waiting for the Dual Limit command prompt rather than attacking.
