The '''Vanitas Remnant''' | The '''Vanitas Remnant'''<!--incorrectly named as "Vanitas's Lingering Spirit" in the Bradygames guide--> is an [[Unversed]] that serves as a secret boss in ''[[Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep]]'' and ''[[Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep Final Mix]]''. It can be fought in the Badlands area of the [[Keyblade Graveyard]] after the player clears the [[Final Episode]]. | ||
Defeating the Vanitas Remnant in the Japanese version of ''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep'' earns the player a Secret Gem.

While the Vanitas Remnant will avoid most of the damage Shotlocks cause, the brief invulnerability these techniques grant makes them useful for enduring the boss's attacks. For maximum efficiency, the protagonists' equipped Shotlocks should be at their highest levels. | *{{nihongo|'''Warp {{w|List of judo techniques|Kirioroshi}}'''|ワープ斬り下ろし|Wāpu Kirioroshi}}: The Vanitas Remnant teleports above its opponent and strikes downward while casting Blizzaga. | ||

===Strategy=== | |||
Terra, Ventus, and Aqua cannot use [[Dimension Link|D-Link]]s against the Vanitas Remnant. However, they still have access to [[Command Style]]s and Shotlocks.

For maximum efficiency, the protagonists' equipped Shotlocks should be at their highest levels. | |||
Depending on the approach to this battle the player wishes to take, their Keyblade of choice will vary. Keyblades with a high Strength stat are best used if one intends to fight the Vanitas Remnant using [[Aerial Slam]]. Magic-oriented Keyblades, meanwhile, are recommended if one plans to use [[Tornado]] or [[Seeker Mine]]. | Depending on the approach to this battle the player wishes to take, their Keyblade of choice will vary.

Terra, Ventus, and Aqua should rely on the most basic forms of their respective dodging techniques when fighting the Vanitas Remnant, as their more offensive versions do not grant the same windows of invincibility. The protagonists should also use [[Potion]]s or techniques such as [[Heal Strike]], [[Renewal Block]], and [[Renewal Barrier]] to recover HP, for [[Cure]] and [[Friend Cure]] spells allow the boss to also rejuvenate itself. | Terra, Ventus, and Aqua should rely on the most basic forms of their respective dodging techniques when fighting the Vanitas Remnant, as their more offensive versions do not grant the same windows of invincibility.

===Terra=== | |||
To compensate for his lack of speed and poor dodging ability, Terra should only use the fastest of attacks when facing the Vanitas Remnant. It is also recommended that he enter the battle against this foe with two sets of Potions, a high-level version of [[Mine Square]] or [[Mine Shield]], all three available HP Boosts, and the [[Second Chance]] and [[Once More]] abilities equipped. To deal as much damage to the Vanitas Remnant as possible, Terra should use the Chaos Ripper Keyblade, as well as the [[Demolition]] Finish command. | To compensate for his lack of speed and poor dodging ability, Terra should only use the fastest of attacks when facing the Vanitas Remnant.

To deal as much damage to the Vanitas Remnant as possible, Terra should use the Chaos Ripper Keyblade, as well as the [[Demolition]] Finish command. | ||
When dealing with the Vanitas Remnant's Clone Burst attack, Terra should use Slide to avoid taking damage. He should not use Sonic Impact, as this technique lacks Slide's temporary invincibility. Terra can also use Keyblade strikes and fast-paced, long-range attacks like [[Thunder Surge]] to delay Clone Burst's execution. When the Vanitas Remnant uses Dark Fang, it is recommended that Terra use Slide to quickly reach the boss and then use Mine Shield or Mine Square; it is likely the Vanitas Remnant will walk into the mines and take damage in its attempt to continue attacking. If the Vanitas Remnant uses Dark Cannon, Terra can use [[Ars Solum]] to deal heavy damage. Alternatively, he can consume a Vanilla Glitz to gain early access to the [[Critical Impact]] Command Style; this will greatly increase the damage of his standard attacks, which can be used until the boss's Shotlock ends. | When dealing with the Vanitas Remnant's Clone Burst attack, Terra should use Slide to avoid taking damage.

====Ventus==== | |||
===Ventus=== | |||
When fighting the Vanitas Remnant, Ventus should use Dodge Roll to avoid taking damage. He can use Superglide to quickly dodge the boss's ranged attacks. It is recommended that Ventus have at least two sets of Potions equipped during this battle, as well as the Second Chance and Once More abilities. Tornado and Mine Square should be his main source of offense, and he should use Renewal Block to defend against the Vanitas Remnant while recovering much-needed HP. | When fighting the Vanitas Remnant, Ventus should use Dodge Roll to avoid taking damage.

To avoid Dark Fang, Ventus should use Dodge Roll. The temporary invincibility the technique grants him will prevent him from being inflicted with Blind. Ventus's [[Stratosphere]] Finish command also bestows brief invulnerability; it should be used in place of Command Styles. Ventus's Tornado spell is most effective at the conclusion of the Vanitas Remnant's Dark Thundaga, Clone Burst, and X-Discharge attacks. | To avoid Dark Fang, Ventus should use Dodge Roll.

====Aqua==== | |||
===Aqua=== | When Aqua faces the Vanitas Remnant, she should have Seeker Mine and all three available HP Boosts equipped. Her Keyblade of choice should either be the [[Stormfall]] or [[Ultima Weapon]] Keyblade, as both are proficient in Strength and Magic. To avoid the Vanitas Remnant's attacks, Aqua should chain multiple Cartwheels together. | ||

To avoid the Vanitas Remnant's attacks, Aqua should chain multiple Cartwheels together. | =====Strategy 1===== | ||
In addition to Seeker Mine, Aqua should have three sets of Potions and four sets of Fabracadabras equipped. After three quarters of the Vanitas Remnant's HP has been depleted, it is recommended that Aqua start using Fabracadabras to gain early access to the [[Spellweaver]] Command Style. While not particularly powerful, Spellweaver grants Aqua invulnerability, has great range, and can hit multiple times. | |||
====Strategy 1==== | =====Strategy 2===== | ||
In addition to Seeker Mine, Aqua should have three sets of Potions and four sets of Fabracadabras equipped. After three quarters of the Vanitas Remnant's HP has been depleted, it is recommended that Aqua start using Fabracadabras to gain early access to the [[Spellweaver]] Command Style | A strategy that involves the consumption of fewer items relies on a combination of Seeker Mine and [[Teleport Spike]] as its main source of offense. Aqua should use this command until three quarters of the Vanitas Remnant's HP has been depleted. She should then use consecutive Counter Blasts to fill her Command Gauge until Teleport Spike becomes available. It is recommended that Aqua utilize this Finish command to gain temporary invulnerability and also strike the Vanitas Remnant multiple times. | ||
====Terra, Ventus, and Aqua==== | |||
====Strategy 2==== | A glitch in the Vanitas Remnant's A.I. allows for an easy victory against it. Simply lure the Vanitas Remnant to the large rock formation in the corner of the battlefield and retreat to the rock's opposite side. The Vanitas Remnant will be left unable to attack. Terra, Ventus, and Aqua can effortlessly defeat the boss with a Command Deck comprised entirely of [[Strike Raid]] commands. | ||
