| The '''Dark Follower''' is a [[Pureblood Heartless]] that appears in ''[[Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days]]''. It is encountered at [[Beast's Castle]]. | | The '''Dark Follower''' is an Pureblood [[Heartless]] that is found in ''[[Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days]]''. It is one of the bosses at [[Beast's Castle]]. Like the [[Darkside]], it can summon [[Shadow]]s, but these are violet like the Dark Follower instead of the normal black. |

|
| Like the [[Darkside]], the Dark Follower can summon [[Shadow]]s, but unlike the Darkside, the Shadows that are summoned are purple, instead of the usual black.
| | ==Journal Entry== |
| | | ===''Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days''=== |
| ==Design== | | ''A stronger form of the Darkside. Though more powerful, it follows the same basic patterns as its predecessor.''<br> |
| A Dark Follower is a massive, muscular, humanoid Heartless with dark purple skin. Its legs are rather short and its feet are very thin and curl upward. Its arms are rather long, and is has two relatively small, twisted wings on its back. There is a large, heart-shaped hole in the Heartless's chest. Its head is covered in dozens of twisted, dark purple tentacles. Only its small, glowing yellow eyes are visible. | | ''Send back the dark homing blasts fired from its chest with a block, then attack either its hands or, if possible, its head for maximum damage.'' |
| | |
| The Dark Follower's name is a clear reference to its dark color and its ability to attack using darkness. The latter part of its name could be a reference to the fact that it appears after a battle with other Heartless. "Follower" could also be a reference to the purple Shadow "followers" the Heartless summons.

| | While the Dark Follower shares the same appearance and abilities as the Darkside, do not underestimate its might. At the start of the battle, immediately Lock-On to either one of its massive hands. Do not hesitate to attack, but be mindful of the Heartless' own moveset. The first attack it can use causes this Heartless Boss to sink its fist into a pool of darkness, [[Shadows]] starting to spawn. Although the smaller enemies will attack with their claws, dealing minor damage, ignore them and keep your focus on the Dark Follower. The Shadows remain after the attack is finished, and they will drop much-needed HP Balls upon defeat. It is recommended that you leave Xaldin to the Shadows while you continue to damage the Boss. Once the Shadows are destroyed, Xaldin will aid you. |

| Although the smaller enemies will attack with their claws, they deal minor damage; ignore them and focus on the Dark Follower, attacking its head, while still in reach, to deal major damage. The Shadows remain after the attack is finished, and they will drop much-needed HP Balls upon defeat. It is recommended let [[Xaldin]] deal with the Shadows while [[Roxas]] continues to damage the Dark Follower. Once the Shadows are destroyed, Xaldin will aid Roxas. | |
| | |
| The second attack the Dark Follower can perform brings its fist down upon Roxas with a shockwave. Get as far away from it as possible—use air slide to avoid it—or suffer major damage as the shockwave makes contact. It is also possible to jump over the shockwave with the right timing. This attack is nil-based, so having [[Nothing to Fear]] equipped will prevent Roxas from taking damage.

|
| The third attack involves it kneeling down and firing homing energy balls from its chest. The only way to avoid this attack is to use Block. Occasionally, the energy balls will be reflected back to the Dark Follower, damaging it. When an orb of dark energy rests in the Dark Follower's palm, prepare to dodge the energy that rains down from above. | | The second attack the Dark Follower can perform brings the beast's fist down upon you with a massive shockwave.

| Bring as many healing items as possible into this battle. Utilize the [[Limit Break]], and also make sure to equip [[Thunder]], [[Fire]], and [[Cure]] magic. By locking on to the head and using a cast of Thunder the Dark Follower will take major damage.

| | As always, bring as many healing items as possible into this battle. Utilize your Limit Break, and also make sure that you equip Magic, primarily Thunder, Fire, and Cure. By locking on to the head and using a cast of Thunder the Boss will take large amounts of damage. Be careful, and the Dark Follower should fall in a matter of minutes. |
