Roxas must evade the [[Neoshadow]]s that [[Organization XIII]] sent to retrieve him. The renegade then battles Riku, as the dark warrior stands in his way on his quest to free Kingdom Hearts and to reclaim Xion. | |||

This is the only mission in Story Mode in which Roxas can Dual-Wield. Being able to cut through Neoshadows like butter, the first group of [[Heartless]] should be no problem to destroy. Defeat the occasional duos of Purebloods that pop up for extra experience, but otherwise evade them and head to [[Memory's Skyscraper]]. Make sure to grab the Mission Badge and Blazon, which are both located in the industrial area after the second group of Neoshadows and before the third group. One is directly up the wall to your right as you enter the gate, the other is just above the platform to your left. Battle the scripted last batch of Neoshadows and prepare for the final battle of the game. | This is the only mission in Story Mode in which Roxas can Dual-Wield.

Once the battle with Riku starts, Roxas loses his Dual-Wield ability because Riku is using the [[Oblivion]], leaving you with the [[Oathkeeper]].

Quickly run up to Memory's Skyscraper to obtain the [[Unity Badge]]. Utilizing the [[Glide]] ability, dodge Riku's fast strikes while getting in for a quick combo. Riku can easily be taken down with [[Event Horizon]], as well as careful timing of the [[Block]] ability. | ||
Halfway through the battle, when Riku's health reaches about four bars, he will transform the Oblivion into a sword of light and he can no longer be staggered. His weapon's reach is now longer, making his combos harder to avoid. His [[Dark Aura]] ability will also be used after the transformation. It can be dodged by gliding, or by using [[Dodge Roll]]. | Halfway through the battle, when Riku's health reaches about four bars, he will transform the Oblivion into a sword of light and he can no longer be staggered.

If you are playing this battle with the Extreme Ring, [[Aero]] spells are your best bet against Riku.

The Neoshadows before the battle should be easy enough to get rid of, but when you fight the swarm, try activating [[Magic Hour]], air-sliding away to allow movement, and then reactivating it after jumping high in the air. | ||

If you don't have the resources to take down Riku with purely magic, there are some openings that can be exploited for safe hits. Riku will sometimes block your first combo hit and then put up a shield - you can bait this move by poking Riku with one attack, waiting, and then doing one attack again. Once he puts the shield up, he will stand still for a moment - if you walk around him and hit him in the back, then you can consistently get in a full three-{{button|DSA}}-press combo each time. Once Riku turns Oblivion into a sword of light, getting three hits is less consistent, so go for just two to be safe. This is also a good time to let him damage you into the HP range for your Limit, so you can finish him off. For a good opening to begin your limit, continue to poke him with single hits until his shield goes up again, and hit him in the back. | If you don't have the resources to take down Riku with purely magic, there are some openings that can be exploited for safe hits.
