Part 49

Master the Absent Silhouette battles against Zexion, Larxene, and Lexaeus in Kingdom Hearts II. Learn their attack patterns, weaknesses, and strategies to claim victory and valuable rewards.

Walkthrough: Zexion

1. To escape Zexion's Book of Retribution, target the Lexicon hiding him and drain its 60 HP.
2. Use the Reaction Command "Dispel" to return to the island.
3. Dodge the flying books and Zexion's traps, which limit your commands but allow for healing, treasure, drive recovery, and erasing other books.
4. Once free, attack Zexion until he reaches 50% HP, then repeat the cycle.
5. At 25% HP, you'll be taken to a new room with three spots (two red, one blue) that alternate.
6. A ring will appear around the blue spot; reach it quickly to avoid meteor attacks. Use Limits or Reflect if you can't make it in time.
7. Defeat the Lexicon and use "Dispel" to return to the island and defeat Zexion.

Walkthrough: Larxene

1. Larxene surrounds herself with lightning and uses Lightning Dash. Leap over or Guard against her copies.
2. When copies vanish, attack Larxene, avoiding Aerial Combos due to her Sky Dive counter.
3. Use "Other Break" when clones are active to toss a clone into Larxene, stunning her for damage.
4. At 66% HP, Larxene uses Teleport Rush with copies. Cast Reflect to avoid damage.
5. She may follow up with Angry Rush; use Reflect or a timed Guard. Dodge Roll is also an option.
6. At 33% HP, Larxene uses Lightning Barrage, firing lightning in a circle.
7. She often follows Lightning Barrage with Teleport Rush; be ready to cast Reflect.
8. She may cast Lightning Barrage again. Using a Thunder Trinket, Petit Ribbon, or Highest Ribbon is recommended.

Walkthrough: Lexaeus

1. Lexaeus deals heavy damage quickly; learn to parry his attacks and use Reflect.
2. Shortcut the Reflect spell to mitigate his strongest attacks.
3. At the start of the battle, he uses Po... (The source text cuts off here for Lexaeus's fight details).
