The '''Demon Tower''' is a [[Pureblood Heartless]] which serves as a boss in ''[[Kingdom Hearts 0.2 Birth by Sleep -A fragmentary passage-]]'', and ''[[Kingdom Hearts III]]''. It is a mass of [[Shadow]]s in a twister formation native to the [[Realm of Darkness]].

==Story==
===''Kingdom Hearts 0.2 Birth by Sleep -A fragmentary passage-''===
[[Aqua]] first encounters a Demon Tower in the remains of the [[Castle of Dreams]] after activating five Gears to restore the bridge to the castle, and swiftly defeats it after a battle. Later, after her encounter with [[Terra]] and [[Ventus]] in the [[Enchanted Dominion|Forest of Thorns]], she reunites with [[King Mickey]] in the Depths of Darkness, where another Demon Tower ambushes the two [[Keyblade Master]]s.

===''Kingdom Hearts III''===
A year later, Mickey and [[Riku]] trace Aqua's steps to the [[Dark Margin]], where they are attacked by a Demon Tower. During the ensuing fight, the Demon Tower swallows and spits out Riku, giving him a haircut in the process, and damages their Keyblades, forcing them to retreat to the [[Mysterious Tower]] to restock on supplies.

When the two return, [[Anti-Aqua]] has another Demon Tower restrain Mickey before revealing herself to the two. She sends the Demon Tower to attack Riku, but with [[Sora]]'s help, Riku is able to destroy it.

At the [[Keyblade Graveyard]] as part of a final test for the [[Guardians of Light]], [[Dark Riku]] summons a legion of Demon Towers followed by an army of [[Heartless]], [[Nobodies]] and [[Unversed]].

==Strategy==
===''Kingdom Hearts 0.2 Birth by Sleep -A fragmentary passage-''===
The Demon Tower is encountered thrice in the game: the first in Castle Town, the second in the Depths of Darkness, and the third in a boss rush in the World Within. Despite the differences in health throughout the fights and King Mickey's presence in the second, all three fights play similarly. It only has a couple of attacks, indicated by the Shadows' eyes glowing red: one in which the Tower rams Aqua, which can be defended by [[Barrier]], and another in which the Tower divides into the Shadows. When the Tower is separated, the Shadows can be attacked and destroyed. [[Shotlock]]s, [[Situation Command]]s, and [[magic]] can help subdue the Tower quite quickly.

===''Kingdom Hearts III''===
The Demon Tower behaves much the same as in ''Kingdom Hearts 0.2 Birth by Sleep -A fragmentary passage-''. During the first fight, the player controls Riku and has Mickey as a party member. Riku cannot use [[Formchange]]s, but can use [[Double Duel]], [[Thundaga]]/[[Thundaza]] and [[Curaga]], and a [[Hi-Potion]] and [[Ether]]. When its eyes turn red, be prepared to block or dodge, then return to attacking when its eyes are yellow. After using Devil Dive it will follow up with Devil Rise, with the latter attack generating five Shadows that drop large HP prizes upon defeat.

During the second fight, the player still controls Riku, but must defeat the Demon Tower alone. In this fight the Demon Tower is aided by Anti-Aqua, who will use the Phantom Dance attack after the Demon Tower uses Devil Rise. Riku can now activate [[Dark Firaga]] as a Situation Command. Once the Demon Tower is depleted to 1 HP, Riku is prompted to use the '''Sora''' Situation Command to end the fight.

The Demon Tower can be fought again by accessing  {{n|Battlegate|8}} in [[Monstropolis]]. In this fight, it is flanked by several [[Flame Core]]s, but it otherwise behaves the same way as the previous fights.
