Make no mistake, Barbossa can be extremely dangerous. If you get too near he’ll decimate you with a sword combo, so close quarters combat is not a particularly good idea. At medium range he’ll throw a few bombs on the ground; at longer range he’ll often shoot his pistol, which is relatively harmless. He may also dash towards you and lash out with his sword, which is anything but harmless. Ideally, don’t give him the slightest opportunity to deploy these dangerous moves. After the victory, you will receive the [[Follow the Wind]] Keyblade. | Make no mistake, Barbossa can be extremely dangerous.

There are two sets of Reaction Commands available in this battle. The first, Twin Counter, is used in conjunction with Jack. It becomes available when Barbossa says "Once again Jack!" It launches a powerful launching attack against Barbossa, and leads into Sonic Dive, which Jack assists Sora in making a high leap toward the now airborne Barbossa, attacking upwards as Barbossa falls down. Barbossa will always land in the center of the room, by the treasure chest, after this attack. The second, Land, can be activated during one of Barbossa's combos in which he says "Here, try a taste o' this!". Sora steps on Barbossa's blade, effectively disarming him. After this reaction, a short battle cinematic shows Barbossa reaching for his pistol, and the follow-up Reverse Blade command becomes available, which causes Sora to grab his Keyblade in a reverse grip and smack Barbossa backwards before he can fire. If you miss the Reverse Blade command, you will take damage. Use [[Reaction Command]]'s at all times, as they give time to use [[Cure]], or allow you to use a [[Potion]]. | There are two sets of Reaction Commands available in this battle.

However, another effective strategy is, once the Illuminator is defeated, immediately activate [[Valor Form]] with your two most powerful Keyblades (including the [[Hero's Crest]]) and unleash a flurry of aerial combos for maximum damage. If you're good enough, you can stop him from actually attacking you with his sword, and with the '''Air Combo Boost''' from Hero's Crest, your aerial combos will inflict more damage than your normal ones. Once you revert, use '''Cure''' at once to replenish any lost HP. Keep this strategy up and you'll win before too long. | However, another effective strategy is, once the Illuminator is defeated, immediately activate [[Valor Form]] with your two most powerful Keyblades (including the [[Hero's Crest]]) and unleash a flurry of aerial combos for maximum damage.
