Once enough time has passed, he starts to use his old Racing Shockwave which now has the Dark Figure charge the attack before unleashing the powerful blasts that cannot be blocked. He will try to stay outside of the arena's bounds each time he is about to attack, making short-ranged commands almost useless. Each Racing Shockwave destroys a layer of the platform Riku stands on, but he may interrupt the process for a while if he manages to make Ansem flinch. Once Racing Shockwave has been used three times, the platform completely disappears, along with Riku's dream eaters, and the battle goes back to its initial state, with Ansem's Rush and Shock Slash and Riku's floating combat abilities. Until Ansem uses Rush at least once, he will remain hard to hit due to the fact he stayed outside of the arena's bounds while using Racing Shockwave.

On the 3DS version only, it was possible to either use a second Reality Shift or stunlock Ansem by repeatedly using the Attack command right after a successful first Reality Shift until his HP reaches 1, where then either using another Reality Shift if prompted or waiting for a few seconds and attacking him would finish him off. This strategy would fail if Ansem would immediatly get the Dark Figure to protect himself. If Riku ever triggers a Reality Shift while Ansem is facing downwards or upwards (by using Aerial Slam to knock him upwards and then having him use Rush for example), Ansem will get stuck facing one of these angles and his attacks are rendered ineffective if he faces downwards. The Dark Figure's protection may also send Ansem flying around the ceiling of the arena.<!--Source (apologies for the poor quality recording): https://youtu.be/tRx7ej1T8Vg -->

The fight itself is relatively straightforward and the same strategies from before can defeat the Heartless once more.

Riku can pre-emptively use [[Firaga Burst]] (where the big fireball stays where it is) before Ansem starts pushing Riku back, and once at the back, finish with [[Ice Barrage]] to deal extra damage, with the [[Lock-On]] required. Once Riku is at the back of the arena, he can use [[Dark Splicer]], Dark Aura or [[Zantetsuken]], or the [[Ghost Drive]] [[Dual Style]], when he reaches the end of the pathway to warp right up to Ansem and deal damage. This is a risky tactic, as Riku can easily be captured by the Dark Web into the spheres of darkness, or get punched by Dark Rush. Dark Matter can get cancelled if Riku manages to make Ansem flinch.

In other cases, Riku needs to go back to Ansem by rolling forwards, with [[Dark Roll]] helping him move faster, or using Flowmotion with the walls on the sides.

The Dark Laser attack can be deadly if Ansem uses it repeatedly. In order to avoid it, Riku should dodge aside the moment the Dark Figure's shots merge into the spheres. The Chaos Firaga attack can be dodged by rolling forward, but beware of Riku's Dream Eaters when they get afflicted by Confuse, as it makes them backstab him. The Dark Rain can be dodged the same way.

If Riku gets any closer, Ansem uses the Dark Webs that will drag Riku into the spheres. Beware if Ansem uses Dark Rain right before a Dark Web, as it can alter the timing of Riku's blocks, or worse, hit him while the Dark Webs are getting close, and those may catch him. Since they can't get Riku while in midair, he can use [[Flowmotion]] to evade this by staying airborne, as they last for quite a while; or use [[Firaga Burst]] with Doubleflight to stay in the air so he won't be able to drag Riku in. Then use Flowmotion with [[Sonic Impact]], if possible, to go back to the walls. Riku should avoid using Ice Barrage at this moment, even in midair, since it has him fall while using the command. If Dark Barrier is equipped, Riku can alternately repeatedly use it to block the Dark Web when close enough to Ansem, and use Counter Aura at the last moment each time. If Riku is too close though, Ansem might want to punch him using Dark Rush. Riku shouldn't stay on the sides of the arena and stay instead in the middle, as once Dark Matter is over, Riku may get caught off-guard and grabbed by the incoming moving spheres if he's in their way. In the case Riku gets caught by the Dark Webs or the spheres themselves, he will get immobilized in the sphere and struck by Planet Buster, but Planet Buster isn't a deadly attack and will put an end to Dark Matter once it is over. Willingly letting Riku get caught by the Dark Web to skip Dark Matter is a viable option if a Cure command is available for him to use afterwards.

Once Dark Matter is over, press LR or L3 to return the Spirits back to Riku's position (two times if LR unlocks the target) so they will be able to help, but not anytime sooner, as they may get caught by the Dark Webs, become unable to help, and get sent to the back along with the spheres.

If Riku deals a lot of consecutive damage, the [[Nightmare's End and Mirage Split|Mirage Split]] Reality Shift prompt can eventually appear. Dealing huge damage when close and stunning Ansem for a moment. Whenever he recovers, he will tend to use Dark Galaxy immediatly due to the heavy HP loss.

In the 3DS version only, if Riku pounds him right away with the Attack command, Ansem will get stunlocked and Riku may unleash the same Attack combo over and over until Ansem's HP reaches 1. After some time, while hitting him again and again, the Reality Shift prompt can reappear, so Riku will be able to finish him off with it.

Otherwise, wait until Ansem reacts to the Reality Shift normally and defeat him with one final blow.<!--Source : https://youtu.be/jfYQ5MftS-g --><br>Additionally, it was also possible to trigger a glitch to alter the direction Ansem is facing by default by triggering the Reality Shift on the side, and hitting him from other angles. With Balloonga it is also possible to have Ansem face backwards. Once he recovers, the direction he sends Riku towards during Dark Matter and Dark Galaxy is altered as well, including the positions of the purple spheres and the angle of the black spheres he sends rolling, excluding those aimed at Riku.  Once Riku is captured by the Dark Web attack, it was also possible to get him to be out of bounds, but he will eventually warp back to the arena if he ever falls. Mind that Ansem will reset to his initial direction if he uses Dark Rush. <!--Source (apologies for the poor quality recording, again): https://youtu.be/K_uhv8Hm0zA -->


As soon as he has lost half of his HP (or two thirds on Critical Mode), Ansem starts using Dark Galaxy.

One other alternative, where he should have [[Second Chance]]/[[Once More]] equipped in order to survive, is where he can use Dark Splicer just as the ball bombs reach him to go near Ansem and deal some damage, while staying at his position. Dark Splicer lasts long enough until the end of Dark Galaxy; therefore, there shouldn't be any risks for Riku to be knocked back, but he should immediately heal after this.

|Hides in his core while the Dark Figure darkens the arena, summons dark pillars randomly across the floor and pulls the opponents in front of Ansem. Afterwards it pulls them to the back of the arena and finishes by sending several huge black spheres charged with lightning rolling through the arena, with most aimed forward on the left and right sides alternatively and some aimed at Riku, exploding upon impact.
