Early concepts for the Xemnas battle included two gargantuan Nobodies in place of the dragon, formed from Dark City rather than the Castle That Never Was: {{nihongo|'''[[King]]'''|キング|Kingu}}, which had a vaguely humanoid upper body adorned in Nobody sigils and wore an immense crown, and {{nihongo|'''[[Kentauros]]'''|ケンタロウス|Kentarousu}}, which resembled a dilapidated version of the King attached to a quadrupedal lower body, with the crown becoming a spiked ruff. | Early concepts for the Xemnas battle included two gargantuan Nobodies in place of the dragon, formed from Dark City rather than the Castle That Never Was: {{nihongo|'''[[King]]'''|キング|Kingu}}, which had a vaguely humanoid upper body adorned in Nobody sigils and wore an immense crown, and {{nihongo|'''[[Kentauros]]'''|ケンタロウス|Kentarousu}}, which resembled a dilapidated version of the King attached to a quadrupedal lower body, with the crown becoming a spiked ruff. | ||

At the start of the battle, immediately [[Lock-On]] to Xemnas, summon [[Tinker Bell]], and prepare any variant of [[Aero]] available (preferably as a shortcut). This will minimize the damage Xemnas can do to Sora. He will immediately execute an energy-ball attack, which explodes into orb-like, damaging force fields. While it is advised that Sora has his most powerful abilities equipped, be careful at close range, as Xemnas will counter with a damaging shield technique or a powerful slashing combo. As Sora must also be wary of his [[MP]], [[Elixir]]s and [[Megalixir]]s are strongly recommended. | At the start of the battle, immediately [[Lock-On]] to Xemnas, summon [[Tinker Bell]], and prepare any variant of [[Aero]] available (preferably as a shortcut).

When the battle begins, Xemnas will use his '''Invitation to Nothingness''' attack, which ensnares Sora in a field of energy that will slowly drain his health, then he teleports to the top of [[Memory Skyscraper]]. Sora must rush to the bottom of the building and use the [[Reaction Command]] "Facedown" to break the energy field and run up the building after Xemnas. Xemnas will leap down to confront Sora as he nears the top. At this point, one of three Reaction Commands appears depending on how close Sora is to Xemnas. The first is "Clash", where they pass each other harmlessly. The second is "Breakthrough", where Sora attacks Xemnas with a single attack. At the last second, the command changes to "Finish", where Sora attacks Xemnas several times and slams him into the side of the skyscraper. It's recommended to hit {{Button|t}} at "Finish". Note that '''not''' hitting Xemnas will cause him to deal damage to Sora. | When the battle begins, Xemnas will use his '''Invitation to Nothingness''' attack, which ensnares Sora in a field of energy that will slowly drain his health, then he teleports to the top of [[Memory Skyscraper]].

The shoot should only be used against enemies that are out of range. All enemies that bombard the ship via Shoot deal massive damage. | |||

Xemnas will first throw Sora and Riku into the air, leading to a series of aerial slash attacks and roundhouse kicks. It is possible, however, to avoid being thrown in the air if Sora has Reflega in the shortcut menu and uses it immediately after the battle begins. These tactics can be dodged by using the "[[Reversal]]" Reaction Command. To deal minor damage to Xemnas as he teleports around, manually select the [[Trinity Limit]] ability.

At the start of the battle, Xemnas will | At the start of the battle, Xemnas will hurl two buildings at Sora, then three more. Perform carefully-timed [[Slide Roll]]s to avoid them. If left alone during his normal phase, he will casually walk up to Sora like in prior games but will start to actively attack in response to Sora's offense. | ||
Xemnas is incredibly swift and frequently travels around the battlefield either inside an impenetrable sphere of darkness or by teleporting from place to place, attempting to catch Sora from behind | Xemnas is incredibly swift and frequently travels around the battlefield either inside an impenetrable sphere of darkness or by teleporting from place to place, attempting to catch Sora from behind. Arguably he fights akin to prior versions, albeit with much more aggression. As soon as Xemnas reappears from the dark sphere, Lock-On to him and press {{button|dsy}} to guard against the ensuing Ethereal Blade combo or roundhouse kick, leaving him open to Sora's [[Counter Rush]]. The Slide Roll/[[Sonic Impact]]/[[Double Impact]]/[[Sliding Sidewinder]] combo is also efficient at repelling Xemnas and causing him to flinch and getting knocked away, and powerful Unison Attacks like [[Decussation]] is useful as well. As with all bosses, a deck of alternating [[Balloon]]- and [[Cure]]-type spells can easily win the battle. | ||
Xemnas | Should Xemnas surround Sora with lasers, leap over them with [[High Jump]] and either use the [[Air Slide]]/Sonic Impact/Double Impact combo or avoid them by performing Superglide towards the opposite end of the battlefield. When Xemnas traps Sora in a cage of energy shields, simply [[High Jump]] over them and repeat the Air Slide/Sonic Impact/Double Impact combo to avoid the ensuing barrage of lasers; while risky, a [[Flowmotion]] attack at this point will halt Xemnas's attacks for a short period. He may try to defend himself with a single energy shield from time to time, but Sora merely needs to stay away from it to avoid taking damage or allow it to hit him so that he can perform [[Payback Raid]], as the shield does almost no damage. | ||
After half of his HP has been depleted, Xemnas resets the battlefield, | After half of his HP has been depleted, Xemnas resets the battlefield, requiring Sora to time Slide Rolls and dodge the incoming buildings: if Xemnas hurls one building, it will slide across the arena and can be dodged by leaping over it or by Air Sliding into it to trigger Flowmotion. If he hurls two, they will approach vertically but are be pretty easy to dodge. When he throws three, they will bounce towards Sora while horizontal. After all three sets of buildings have been thrown, Xemnas throws another building at Sora that knocks the battlefield and himself into a gliding phase where he cannot move but can still attack. Xemnas will throw another building at Sora, which Sora can use to trigger the [[Nightmare's End]] [[Reality Shift]]. | ||
If Nightmare's End succeeds, the arena will | If Nightmare's End succeeds, the arena will shapeshift to include a long Flowmotion rail with a passive Xemnas at its end. Sora can unleash powerful commands during this time without fear of reprisal, and after a set time, Xemnas will rally and warp the battlefield back to its original state. Using [[Sliding Dive]] from the last rail will cause Xemnas to rally immediately. If Nightmare's End fails, Sora will be damaged and the battlefield will shift back to its original form, and the ferocity of Xemnas's attacks will remain normal. | ||
If | If Sora succeeds at using Reality Shift, Xemnas increases the frequency and ferocity of his attacks once its phase is done. If Sora immediately attacks him with the Slide Roll/Sonic Impact/Double Impact combo, he will repeat the latter phase with the buildings. Resume the Guard and [[Counter Rush]] and Slide Roll/Sonic Impact/Double Impact/Sliding Sidewinder combos strategy, and use a powerful [[Link]] Attack—like Decussation—or [[Dual Link]]—like [[Unison Rush]]—to finish Xemnas off. It is advised to bring two Curaga commands into battle to ensure maximum healing potential and cancel out the wait for command reload time should Sora's HP need replenishing. Also bring [[Spirits]] that have Curaga and the [[Haste]] Support Magic to not have problems with the reload time. Use Flowmotion to Sora's advantage, and the battle should end with minimal difficulty. It is a necessity to enter this fight with a full [[Drop Gauge]] and even bring [[Drop-Me-Not]]s when at a lower level. | ||

After the second salvo, Xemnas will immediately teleport for an unblockable X-shaped slash. Dodge Roll out of the way. Afterwards, Xemnas will use quick two-hit sword combos before throwing Sora, twice in succession, and follow with the unblockable X-shaped slash. The first barrage of Ethereal Blades are blockable, but the second barrage sends out blue Ethereal Blades after the first few red blades. The last barrage will shoot blue blades first and then shoot another few blue blades after a few following red blades. The last salvo will always leave Sora stunned afterward if he's not in a form or doesn't have Stun Protection and Xemnas will teleport in for the unblockable X-shaped slash, but Sora will recover before it comes. Dodge Roll out of the way and get in a combo on Xemnas. | After the second salvo, Xemnas will immediately teleport for an unblockable X-shaped slash. Dodge Roll out of the way.
