• Elemental Weaknesses: Physical x 0.5, Fire x 0.25, Blizzard x 0.25, Thunder x 0.25, Dark x 0.25

Strategy:

• Equip Second Chance and Once More abilities as they are crucial for survival, as most attacks are one-hit kills.
• Do not use Cure, Cura, or Curaga, as Vanitas can mimic these spells to heal himself. Use Potions and Hi-Potions instead, which he cannot copy.
• Prioritize dodging over blocking. Dodging provides longer invulnerability.
• Ventus can use Tornado for good damage.
• Aqua and Terra should utilize Mine Shield, Mine Square, and Seeker Mine (for Aqua) by setting traps and luring Vanitas into them.
• Maintain distance and use traps. Occasionally, you can land a Keyblade hit, but it's generally safer to keep your distance.
• A good time to use a potion is immediately after a successful dodge.

• Keyblade: Void Gear

After defeating Vanitas' Lingering Spirit, save your game and load a file where you have access to the Land of Departure. Landing on this world will trigger an event against the game's ultimate challenge, the Mysterious Figure.
