The Iron Imprisoner III is now free of its gibbet, exposing its grey legs. Both of its feet sport black bands with blue highlights on them. Its collar is much smaller and the grey breastplate it wears is now clearly visible.

The Iron Imprisoner IV sports a radically different coloration than its previous incarnations. Its armor is now much darker, mostly colored in shades of black and dark grey. Its lower legs are light grey and the tips of its feet are red. Its gauntlets are now red and black, and its breastplate sports blue highlights. The Iron Imprisoner’s helmet is now uniformly colored black and its eyes have changed shape, though they are still set in an angry expression. On each form, the Unversed insignia is on its back.

In ''[[Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep Final Mix]]'', the Iron Imprisoner receives a recoloration. Its body is now purple with fuchsia arms and legs. The collars on its arms and legs are now green. Its lower body is now locked in a black gibbet with gold highlights, bound in gold chains. The hammer handle is now silver, with a gold spike, and the hammer itself is purple with green highlights. The Iron Imprisoner's helmet is half black and half white.

The Iron Imprisoner is one of the more powerful bosses in the game. Therefore, it is recommended the player be at a high level, and have the strongest Keyblade and [[Shotlock]] available at the time. For all four forms, the [[Once More]] and [[Second Chance]] abilities are recommended, particularly the latter two forms, which tend to chain their attacks. The strategies for each form are below.  

In its first form, its chained and trapped in a gibbet. It attacks mainly by swinging the gibbet at you or spinning around like a fiery tornado. It can also entrap you in a cage or erupt out of the ground like a volcano. The best way to start the battle is to use your Shotlock to shave away at its HP bar, then attack normally. Beware when its HP is low. It shoots lasers from the bottom of its gibbet, dealing fire damage on impact. But overall, it is the easiest of the four forms. Merely dodge the lasers and attack.

In its second form, nothing much has changed except for the fact it now uses its massive hammer to deal large damage. It can also spin with the hammer outstretched, dealing fire damage on contact. otherwise, it retains all of its attacks from its first form. so simply dodge, attack and use Shotlocks when possible.

Its third form is the same as its previous two incarnations. With the only obvious difference that its legs are no longer bound in a gibbet. It is now faster than the other two forms, but it cannot shoot lasers. It retains its other moves so the strategy is the same. [[Shotlock]] commands are the most effective way to damage the Iron Imprisoner, and as a result the Damage Syphon ability is very useful. While it will pause periodically, the window of attack is very small, and it is safer to use the time to heal or use a Shotlock. The only safe time to attack normally is after the Unversed summons its cage. Evading the cage is difficult unless the player is executing a finishing command or a Shotlock, however, if timed correctly, one can avoid the cage by attacking the Imprisoner with a combo, but it is preferable to simply attack and not attempt to dodge it.

The boss's final form, and its most powerful one yet. It retains its old moves with some new ones. The cage it traps you with is now on fire and will damage you on contact. It also has an attack where it sucks you in close before releasing a large explosion. During another new attack, it will possess the room, turning it red and causing the tiles to fly off and attack. The strategy for the third form is also effective here, and the boss can still be stunned by a successful Firaga or Sonic Blade. However, because of the Iron Imprisoner IV's increased strength and ferocity, the player should be more cautious. When the boss possesses the stage, the player can either choose to stay in one place and block constantly to defend against the flying debris, or simply Dodge Roll, Cartwheel, or Slide around  to evade damage. It would also be wise to equip a Vanish command, which can be bought in the medal store, as when the character is invisible, the Iron Imprisoner mostly avoids them, giving you a chance to heal or use a shotlock.
