Not long after arriving in [[Hollow Bastion]] and reuniting with [[Aerith]], [[Leon]] and [[Yuffie]], Sora engaged a number of [[Dusk Nobodies]] in battle around the city. After being led away from the main town, Sora, [[Goofy]] and [[Donald]] heard voices mocking them, but could find no source for them. After Sora demands that they show themselves, the remaining Organization members (having lost 5 members due to deaths and two others due to desertion) materialize, laughing. Though they are hooded, they are recognizable as the Organization from the description given to Sora and his companions by [[Yen Sid]]. | Not long after arriving in [[Hollow Bastion]] and reuniting with [[Aerith]], [[Leon]] and [[Yuffie]], Sora engaged a number of [[Dusk Nobodies]] in battle around the city.

The Organization eventually departs, but Xigbar, still cloaked and hooded, stays behind to taunt Sora further. After Sora becomes aggression and draws his [[Keyblade]], Xigbar tells him that he is no match for him, since he is "not just any old dude", but a member of Organization XIII, making nothing about him "old" at all. Xigbar goes on to imply that Sora has a history with the Organization and reminds Xigbar of someone who used to give him a similar look. Sora replies that he can't be deterred by random gibberish, and Xigbar vanishes with a laugh. | The Organization eventually departs, but Xigbar, still cloaked and hooded, stays behind to taunt Sora further.

Xigbar's final appearance in the game was in [[The World That Never Was]] inside [[Organization XIII]]'s stronghold. After [[Riku]] and [[Naminé]] helps [[Kairi]] to escape from the Organization, they head for the Hall of Empty Melodies, a large, open-air room leading further up into the castle. Sora and his party arrive there, but are stopped by [[Saïx]], who calls out swarms of [[Shadow]] heartless to attack the intruders. [[Maleficent]] and [[Pete]] also arrive, expressing interest in taking the Organization's castle for themselves. | Xigbar's final appearance in the game was in [[The World That Never Was]] inside [[Organization XIII]]'s stronghold.

Eventually, Maleficent and Pete leave to formulate a plan for taking the castle, and Saïx heads up to rejoin [[Xemnas]]. Sora and Kairi remain seperated as Riku and Kairi remain above Sora on a balcony, fighting off the Heartless gathered there. Many Heartless attack Sora as well, but they are all dispatched in a rain of arrows from Xigbar. | Eventually, Maleficent and Pete leave to formulate a plan for taking the castle, and Saïx heads up to rejoin [[Xemnas]]. Sora and Kairi remain seperated as Riku and Kairi remain above Sora on a balcony, fighting off the Heartless gathered there. Many Heartless attack Sora as well, but they are all dispatched in a rain of arrows from Xigbar. He asks if Sora has been a good boy mockingly, echoing the words from his first encounter with Sora. He states how Sora put the Organization in a "pickle", but he supposes that was the reason the Keyblade chose him. But he makes a very cryptic remark on how he wasn't "half the hero the others were". Sora simply takes it as an attempt to throw him off. | ||
Xigbar leaps off the balcony and lands in front of Sora, where he squares off to do battle with Sora, calling by the name [[Roxas]]. He then attacks, teleporting out of range and sniping at Sora from the balcony above; after Sora reflects his shots back at him, he returns to the floor area and uses his fast-firing guns combined with manipulation of gravity to eliminate Sora and his friends. Ultimately, however, he is defeated and begins to fade into the darkness. Before he disintegrates completely, Sora asks him why he called him "Roxas", but the downcast Xigbar only replies "wouldn't you like to know?", and fades away. | Xigbar leaps off the balcony and lands in front of Sora, where he squares off to do battle with Sora, calling by the name [[Roxas]].

Xigbar has a laid-back and cocky attitude, and likes to taunt Sora to put him off-guard, though with limited success. Despite his high rank, he is not given high authority like [[Saïx]], but instead is sent on missions and confrontations with Sora. He relies heavily on instinct rather on intelligence for both decision making and fighting, making him adaptable and unpredictable in battle. | Xigbar has a laid-back and cocky attitude, and likes to taunt Sora to put him off-guard, though with limited success.

Xigbar fights by shooting rapidly from his twin guns, earning him the title ''Freeshooter''. He can manipulate the space around him to teleport and hang suspended upside-down in midair to give him a height advantage over Sora without costing him a clear shot. | Xigbar fights by shooting rapidly from his twin guns, earning him the title ''Freeshooter''. He can manipulate the space around him to teleport and hang suspended upside-down in midair to give him a height advantage over Sora without costing him a clear shot. He also can combine his two guns into a sniper rifle (though this is censored in the North American version), shooting at Sora from a distance. As the battle progresses, he begins to teleport faster and shift the ground on which they fight, and will occasionally go into a frenzy, becoming invincible and firing torrents of laser arrows before relenting and returning to normal without pause. | ||
The [[reaction command]] while fighting Xigbar is "Warp Snipe", the same as the one for [[Sniper|Sniper Nobodies]], which he controls. Sora can use it to deflect gunfire back at him. Using Warp Snipe is the only way to get Xigbar to descend from the balcony and engage Sora directly. Gunfire can also be blocked with the keyblade's [[Guard]] ability. | The [[reaction command]] while fighting Xigbar is "Warp Snipe", the same as the one for [[Sniper|Sniper Nobodies]], which he controls.
