Cerberus is fought after the fight with [[Cloud]] at the [[Preliminary Tournament]], and is the third boss of the [[Hades Cup]], fought at Round 30.
It is important to be able to climb on top of Cerberus's back, in order to avoid his Miasma of Darkness and Firaga Ball attacks. Alternatively, one may use [[Dodge Roll]] to avoid Cerberus's Miasma of Darkness attack, or even deft running. Going under Cerberus when he uses Miasma of Darkness will not work. Lock on to one of the outside heads and remain close to Cerberus's side.

The Cerberus and Cerberus Paradox Cups are timed battles, so one should be wary of the time constraint. Cerberus is fought alone, although Drives are available to use. Sora can use Valor Form for its quick hits, or play it safe and shoot magic bullets at Cerberus with Wisdom Form. Master Form is the most recommended form though, as all of the abilities Master Form has equipped will help Sora defeat Cerberus. Final Form is the best option (if available). Every single movement is an attack in itself, and this should buy time to keep on mashing {{Button|x}}. Do not compromise unless one has managed to take all the lesser enemies out within seconds.

Cerberus originally appears in Roman and Greek mythology. He is depicted as a multi-headed dog (usually three heads) and acts as a gatekeeper of the Underworld, preventing dead souls that has crossed the river Styx from escaping. In the myths, he is a sibling to Chimaera and the [[Hydra]]. His capture was the objective of [[Hercules]]'s twelfth and final labor.
