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