Ansem cannot aim at Riku once he uses [[Vanish]], so he may use it to his advantage and stay in a blind spot while attacking him from the distance.

Now the battle is on a platform on Darkness's Call. Riku's Dream Eaters are back, and he may benefit from their active support.

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

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. | ||

In the 3DS version only, it was possible that if Riku pounds him with the Attack command right after his Reality Shift finishes, he can get Ansem to be stunlocked and Riku may repeat the same Attack combo on him 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 towards, excluding those aimed at Riku. Once Riku is captured by the Dark Web attack, it was also possible to get him out of bounds, but he will eventually warp back to the center of the arena if he ever falls. Mind that Ansem will reset to his initial direction if he uses Dark Rush, which can only happen if Riku is too close to Ansem. <!--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. | |||
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.
