Riku's Dream Eaters are back, and he may benefit from their active support. If he uses Vanish, or gets revived thanks to [[Auto-Life]], Ansem will aim at the first of the two Dream Eaters of Riku's party instead. The Dark Figure now serves as a lock-on target for the time it protects Ansem, and despite it having its own HP bar in the meantime, it cannot be depleted. He remains vulnerable to commands that circumvent the Dark Figure's protection like [[Balloon]] or [[Triple Plasma]] during that time, and [[Flowmotion]] may be used on the Dark Figure the same way as on wall, interrupting the protection, where Riku can attack Ansem with a [[Shock Dive]] attack. | ||
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. | 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.

On the 3DS version only, it was possible to stunlock Ansem by repeatedly using the Attack command right after a successful Reality Shift until his HP reaches 1, where then normally attacking him would finish him off. This strategy would fail if Ansem would immediatly get the Dark Figure to protect himself. | |||
The fight itself is relatively straightforward and the same strategies from before can defeat the Heartless once more. | 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. | 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.

If Riku gets any closer, Ansem uses the Dark Webs that will drag Riku into the spheres | If Riku gets any closer, Ansem uses the Dark Webs that will drag Riku into the spheres. 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. | 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. | ||

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.<br> | ||
In the 3DS version only, if Riku pounds him with the Attack command right after his Reality Shift finishes, Ansem will get stunlocked and Riku may unleash the same Attack combo repetitively 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. | |||
As soon as he has lost half of his HP (or two thirds on Critical Mode), Ansem starts using Dark Galaxy. | |||
The fact the torrents of darkness appear randomly across the arena and may also hit Riku multiple times if unlucky can make this attack become one of the most lethal attacks of the fight. One way to deal with it is to keep blocking the torrents while Ansem drags Riku in front of him, and, afterwards, to keep dodge rolling backwards. | The fact the torrents of darkness appear randomly across the arena and may also hit Riku multiple times if unlucky can make this attack become one of the most lethal attacks of the fight.

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.
