When reduced to 75% HP or less (approximately 4.5 bars of HP remaining), Xaldin enters his second phase, where he begins attacking faster and teleporting short distances and although Sora can still use the Jump command, Xaldin moves so fast that Jump is likely to miss. Xaldin will also begin to use the Jump command himself, jumping up out of range and striking Sora with powerful blows with his lances a few times before striking Sora by jumping down with all of his lances. The initial shockwaves can be jumped over and the final Jump can be guarded, all the while allowing Sora to use Learn. His attacks increase in range and power, and he will whirl his lances around to attack rapidly. Since he will now smash Sora with Aero while he attacks, Guard will prove ineffective and it is better to use Reflect to deflect his lances. | When reduced to 75% HP or less (approximately 4.5 bars of HP remaining), Xaldin enters his second phase, where he begins attacking faster and teleporting short distances and although Sora can still use the Jump command, Xaldin moves so fast that Jump is likely to miss.

When reduced to 40% HP or less (approximately 2.5 bars of HP remaining), Xaldin enters his third phase. Xaldin now begins frequently and swiftly warping towards Sora, and swings his spears up to seven times. He also begins frequently using '''Wind of Despair''', where he summons an aura and becomes invincible as the screen turns dark. He attacks quickly with his lances, which deal massive damage if hit, before teleporting next to Sora and connecting his lances, leaping atop them. The lances take on the form of a dragon, which launches a blast of wind along the length of the bridge. Sora can Quick Run or Dodge Roll through the wind, or simply cast [[Reflect]]. If the wind is launched from one side of the bridge, it will not reach the other end. Xaldin will use this attack more as he loses health. | When reduced to 40% HP or less (approximately 2.5 bars of HP remaining), Xaldin enters his third phase.

Xaldin returns as a Data Rematch battle and is much more powerful. His health has greatly increased, but the strategy to defeat him remains largely the same. Of note is that his Aero shield now reduces all incoming damage to a mere one point, and that coming in contact with it deals massive damage to Sora. | |||

To prepare for the fight, stock up on [[Elixir]]s, have the Cure spell in the shortcut menu, and equip either the [[Ultima Weapon]] or the [[Guardian Soul]], the latter proving helpful when frequently using Jump.

Maximize the Growth abilities granted by Drive Forms, as they can be put to great use during the battle. For example, whenever Xaldin starts his lance shower attack, a good strategy is to [[Glide]] around the area while the pressing {{button|t}} to get any possible Jump commands, then cast Reflect on the last attack to inflict massive damage. This protects Sora from damage and from danger of being defeated before healing. Even if this technique only yields two or three Jump commands, Sora can simply use Jump to dispel Xaldin's Aero spell and follow up with an attack combo. | ||
When Xaldin attempts to ram Sora with his | When Xaldin attempts to ram Sora with his Aero rush, use Aerial Dodge and land close to him. Doing so will keep Sora safe from Xaldin's attack, while creating an opportunity to collect Jump commands. Jumping or Dodge Rolling can also be used, and still allow Sora to learn Jump. Xaldin will continue pursuing Sora unless attacked, so take advantage of this pattern to heal if necessary by Gliding away. | ||

The | When reduced to 50% HP or less, Xaldin will enter his third phase. By this point in the game, Sora should have learned Once More, greatly reducing the threat of this attack. The attack can be avoided by Gliding away, as Xaldin remains stationary. His Tornado attack can be avoided simply by casting Reflect. The best time to attack Xaldin with Jump is when he ends his Aero rush, when he stops for a brief moment, or when he attacks with his Lances. | ||
