The Wargoyle can be a challenge due to its airborne mobility and its wide variety of moves. Although the boss remains in the air for the duration of the battle, Riku can circumvent this by leaping off the cathedral, thus allowing him to ride the updrafts created by the flames below. He can otherwise choose to stay on the rooftop of the cathedral in case he needs to rely on the support of his Dream Eater Spirits, who cannot warp near him and instead de-spawn while he's outside the rooftop. Wargoyle utilizes many fire-based attacks such as fire balls and fire enhanced physical attacks, such as punches and tail swings, all which can be blocked if on the ground or dodge easily with Air Slide. As soon as the battle starts, it wil fire large, diamond-shaped bullets at Riku. This attack can be avoided either by using Flowmotion to slide between the two pilars of the cathedral or by riding the updrafts in circles around Wargoyle.  

Wargoyle can also light itself aflame and charge at Riku in midair. If he obtained [[Dark Barrier]], thanks to [[Me Me Bunny]] or [[Majik Lapin]]'s Ability Links, Riku can block in midair too, but if not, he has to be on the ground to block. Otherwise, he can dodge it by air sliding. It also uses one variant of this attack in which it cloaks itself in darkness instead of fire. If the attack connects with Riku while he's gliding in the air, Wargoyle will grab Riku with its tail and throw him back onto the cathedral, dealing even more damage. This variant can be dodged or blocked in the same way, but will still throw Riku away even if blocked. Staying airbone and attacking him mainly with Sliding Crescent after avoiding one of his attacks is a good strategy, but his Dream Eaters cannot follow him in the midair area and may be temporarily unavailable until he reaches the ground and calls them back. Equipping a wide variety of long ranged commands is also useful.  

If Riku deals enough consecutive damage, the Reality Shift prompt for [[Faithline]] may appear, along with floating orbs around the boss that can be linked with the beams of light that he can ride on. He may then perform a [[Sliding Dive]] to deal damage and stagger Wargoyle.
