Often after two or three Sonic Impact dashes, Terra-Xehanort often performs one of his attacks at random as a counter-finisher, otherwise, if a specific attack or damage-area is ongoing, then Terra-Xehanort will continue to dash-dodge in random directions for the whole duration. Terra-Xehanort also has access to the Block and Counter Hammer combo, as Guard Impact, thus he should be physically attacked mainly from behind to avoid retaliation whenever possible. | Often after two or three Sonic Impact dashes, Terra-Xehanort often performs one of his attacks at random as a counter-finisher, otherwise, if a specific attack or damage-area is ongoing, then Terra-Xehanort will continue to dash-dodge in random directions for the whole duration.

Aside from this, Terra-Xehanort would normally choose to make the first move with his own version of Terra's Ars Solum or Dark Impluse abilities when enough time passes. Regardless, the best move to make against his dashing tactic and any of his normal combo attacks is to use Block and immediately follow with a Counter Hammer. This will do great amounts of damage to Terra-Xehanort, causing him to Sonic Impact away from the enemy. However, it should be noted that Sonic Impact will not be interrupted when blocked, and Terra-Xehanort may use an unexpected attack after a Sonic Impact that can't be blocked normally. | Aside from this, Terra-Xehanort would normally choose to make the first move with his own version of Terra's Ars Solum or Dark Impluse abilities when enough time passes.

[[Aqua]] travels to [[Radiant Garden]] in search of Terra only to be faced with the possessed version of her old friend last faced in Terra's scenario at the [[Keyblade Graveyard]]. Terra-Xehanort will use a moveset very similar to that battle, but since Aqua's fighting style is different than Terra's, a slightly different strategy should be followed. Aqua has access to both D-Links and Command Styles, as well as Shotlocks. The player should make full use of these special abilities whenever possible. | [[Aqua]] travels to [[Radiant Garden]] in search of Terra only to be faced with the possessed version of her old friend last faced in Terra's scenario at the [[Keyblade Graveyard]].

It is recommended that the player Cartwheel away from the boss and use the Mine Square ability. Terra-Xehanort will most likely Sonic Impact in the player's direction surrounded in darkness as he did in his battle with the Lingering Will, but he will be damaged by the mines, his attack interrupted and opening him to more damage. However just like before, there is a chance he'll most likely dash around any attack that would be landed on him in the open, with trap-based attacks being no exception if Terra-Xehanort happens to dash somewhere else towards a possible blind-spot. Because of this, commands like the aforementioned Mine Square should be used more to limit and control his movement instead of outright trying to damage him. | It is recommended that the player Cartwheel away from the boss and use the Mine Square ability.

For Level 1 challenges, it is recommended to use Peter Pan's Swordbill D-Link Finish command whenever Terra-Xehanort prepares to use Ars Solum or Dark Impulse, as he will be locked in his combo, becoming unable to use Sonic Impact or Guard Impact, to end the fight early. | ||
Once Terra-Xehanort is back on his feet, however, the player should follow a hit-and-run strategy, bombarding the boss with magic rather than physical attacks and either running or Cartwheeling away immediately afterwards. The player can also use Barrier to defend against Dark Volley, also using a Barrier and Counter Blast combo to prevent damage from most attacks and still deal damage. It is recommended to use Renewal Barrier as it can be a big help with restoring HP from successfully blocking attacks in case any Cure spell is unavailable and also make sure to pack at least two of them in your Command List to help make healing easier, preferably Cura or Curaga, but also be ready to move quickly after healing to avoid damage if possible if you are too close to Terra-Xehanort. Terra-Xehanort will summon rock pillars around him if the player is at close range, so use caution when attempting a combo that involves linking defense to a physical attack that only works at close range. As Terra-Xehanort's HP starts to dwindle, he will gain access to the Dark Impulse Command Style. He also may use Curaga to restore health, thus increasing the length of the battle. | Once Terra-Xehanort is back on his feet, however, the player should follow a hit-and-run strategy, bombarding the boss with magic rather than physical attacks and either running or Cartwheeling away immediately afterwards.

Terra-Xehanort's great rage summons the [[Dark Figure]], which he uses to do much of the fighting during his second battle with Aqua for him. The Dark Figure will use many powerful attacks, and Terra-Xehanort can still use Ars Solum as with previous battles, so use caution. As with the last battle, Aqua can use Command Styles, Shotlocks, and D-Links, and having the Renewal Barrier to heal from successful blocking will also be a big help. | Terra-Xehanort's great rage summons the [[Dark Figure]], which he uses to do much of the fighting during his second battle with Aqua for him.

* Ars Solum: Terra-Xehanort teleports in front of Sora, with his Keyblade glowing red, and performs three sets of slashes. For any hit in this combo where his Keyblade is red, the hit will be unblockable. The combo will start with 1 red slash and 2 normal slashes, then 1 red slash and 2 normal slashes again, followed by 1 red slash and 6 normal slashes, and finishes with 1 red slash overhead. Terra-Xehanort is vulnerable right before the finishing overhead strike, so Sora can time a reprisal while blocking the 6 blockable slashes of the third set. A good visual cue is the spinning portion of the third set, which indicates hits 4 and 5 - triggering a reprisal here will usually have the right timing, with Counter Kick having the safest window of opportunity. Alternatively, steer clear of the inital barrages of attacks using Dodge Roll or Glide, and cast a [[Water]] spell right as he teleports for the overhead strike. The surrounding barrier will damage Terra-Xehanort, interrupt his attack, and leave him vulnerable. Even if mistimed, the barrier will prevent damage. | * Ars Solum: Terra-Xehanort teleports in front of Sora, with his Keyblade glowing red, and performs three sets of slashes.
