'''Dark Riku'''  is a boss in ''[[Kingdom Hearts III]]'' as one of the bosses of the [[Keyblade Graveyard]], fought alongside [[Xigbar]] against [[Sora]] and [[Riku]]. His data recreation latter appears as an optional boss in ''[[Kingdom Hearts III Re Mind]]''.

==Strategy==
===''Kingdom Hearts III''===
Dark Riku is fought as one of the bosses at the [[Keyblade Graveyard]], fought alongside Xigbar. Sora has Riku as an ally during this fight.

Dark Riku's fighting style is much like the Riku Replica's. He often attacks with multiple combos: either generating a sword beam from his Soul Eater before lunging forward, or a devastating three-hit combo that generates shockwaves in its wake. Much like [[Ansem, Seeker of Darkness]], Dark Riku occasionally employs mines of darkness that explode after a short period of time, and can send out a pool of darkness that generates claws; Dark Riku's versions of the attacks are purple to match his [[Dark Mode]] suit. His ultimate attack is a hybrid of [[Dark Aura]] and the Riku Replica's Helm Splitter technique. When using this attack, he crashes down on Sora and Riku seven times before one final crash that leaves shockwaves of darkness.

===''Kingdom Hearts III Re Mind''===
====Keyblade Graveyard====
Dark Riku's first fight in ''Kingdom Hearts III Re Mind'' is nearly identical to in the base game. This time, however, the player can choose to play as either Sora or Riku.

====Data Rematch====
Dark Riku's data is a boss fight in the Limitcut Episode. His battle tactics have received a significant upgrade.

Dark Riku is quick and aggressive, retaining most of his attacks in battle. He summons mines in a much greater frequency and can perform unblockable attacks, such as launching red beams from his Soul Eater and even heavy slashes. He also liberally employs Barrier and can perform Counter Blast when struck during this phase. His ultimate attack implements more elements from Dark Aura than before, with him dashing at Sora while invincible.
