It is advised to bring two Curaga commands into battle to ensure maximum healing potential and cancel out the wait for command reload time should Sora's HP need replenishing. Also bring [[Spirits]] that have Curaga and the [[Haste]] Support Magic to not have problems with the reload time, while having ones that can cast [[Spirit Roar]] in order for Sora's damage to increase temporarily. Use Flowmotion to Sora's advantage, and the battle should end with minimal difficulty. It is a necessity to enter this fight with a full [[Drop Gauge]] (after using one to two [[Drop-Me-Not]]s), especially at lower levels.
At the start of the battle, Xemnas will use Building Throw at Sora while teleporting to the end of the arena, then follows by three more buildings. Perform carefully-timed [[Slide Roll]]s to avoid them and reach Xemnas quickly. If left alone during his normal phase, he will casually walk up to Sora like in prior games but will start to actively attack in response to Sora's offense.

Xemnas is incredibly swift and frequently travels around the battlefield either inside an impenetrable sphere of darkness or by teleporting from place to place, attempting to catch Sora from behind, and may also use it relentlessly in order to completely nullify his attacks. When Xemnas's reaction durability value reaches 0, he will flinch after every attack for 3.3 seconds. He fights with moves that are mainly seen in the final fight from the previous game, with the exception of the shields and the sphere teleports which are seen in the first fight. As soon as Xemnas reappears from the dark sphere, Lock-On to him and press {{button|dsy}} or {{button|square}} to guard against the ensuing Dual Blade or Flying Dual Blade, leaving him open to Sora's [[Counter Rush]]. Beware that Xemnas can still counter attack after a Counter Rush. The use of [[Sliding Sidewinder]] is also efficient at interrupting, staggering and repelling Xemnas. If he isn't using the sphere teleports and is instead idling, one can use [[Firaga Burst]] combined with either powerful Unison Attacks like [[Decussation]], or commands with extended combos like [[Ars Arcanum]], stunlocking Xemnas and dealing up to 3HP bars of damage, especially when buffed with [[Spirit Roar]]. As with all bosses, a deck of alternating [[Balloon]]- and [[Cure]]-type spells can also easily win the battle.

Beware that Xemnas can still use Dual Blade again after a Counter Rush. The use of [[Sliding Sidewinder]] is also efficient at interrupting, staggering and repelling Xemnas. If he isn't using the sphere teleports and is instead idling, one can use [[Firaga Burst]] combined with either powerful Unison Attacks like [[Decussation]], or commands with extended combos like [[Ars Arcanum]], stunlocking Xemnas and dealing up to 3 or 4 HP bars of damage, especially when buffed with [[Spirit Roar]]. As with all bosses, a deck of alternating [[Balloon]]- and [[Cure]]-type spells can also easily win the battle.


Xemnas's most lethal move surrounds Sora with Shots, where he should leap over them with [[High Jump]] and either use the [[Air Slide]]/Sonic Impact/Double Impact combo or perform Superglide. The position of the Shots circle and aiming will always match Sora's so it is advised to keep moving and land only when they're all gone. When Xemnas traps Sora in a cage of Spark Walls, simply [[High Jump]] over them and either Super Glide or repeat the Air Slide/Sonic Impact/Double Impact combo to avoid the ensuing barrage of Shots. One other trick is to climb the walls with [[Flowmotion]], jump while moving around to dodge the Shots and attack near Xemnas with [[Shock Dive]] to deal damage. In the case where he creates the four walls while near Sora, he can just Block the Shots and Counter Rush, interrupting and knocking Xemnas back. He may try to suddenly defend himself with a single Spark Wall from time to time to knock Sora back, but if possible he can either stay away from it to avoid getting interrupted or allow it to knock him backwards so that he can perform [[Payback Raid]], as the knock back deals only 1HP of damage.

After half of his HP has been depleted, Xemnas resets the battlefield, and uses Building Throw. From Sora's starting position, it isn't required to move at all in case Xemnas throws one or two buildings, but in the case three are thrown, it will require Sora to dodge roll forwards when the nearest buiding falls in front of him. After all three sets of Building Throw have been sent, Sora gets sent into a gliding phase of the attack where he cannot move but can still use the Attack command (contrary to how it is displayed), and on the white building directed at him, he can trigger the [[Nightmare's End]] [[Reality Shift]].

If Nightmare's End succeeds, the arena will shift to its original form, and include a few chunks of buildings with long Flowmotion rails on top of them, with a passive Xemnas at its end. The first hit will cause Xemnas to sigh and recover after some time will have passed, meaning that in the meantime, Sora should quickly unleash his most powerful commands until the Nobody does so. Once he has rallied, Xemnas warps the battlefield back to its original state, and will increase the frequency and ferocity of his attacks, while not staggering from damage anymore (he can still be interrupted by Blocks), making Sliding Sidewinder almost useless for its aforementioned purpose.

If Nightmare's End isn't used, Sora will take damage, and whether it fails or isn't used, the battlefield will shift back to its original form, but the ferocity of Xemnas's attacks will remain normal until he eventually starts using Building Throw again. If Sora immediately kicks him with either Sonic Impact or Double Impact, he will repeat the Building Throw phase again. In the rare case Sora gets defeated during the gliding phase because of the building but gets resurrected by [[Auto-Life]], he will essentially get soft-locked until his Drop Gauge gets depleted, with Xemnas staying intangible and immobile.

In any case, resume the Guard and [[Counter Rush]] and use the same combos as usual to finish Xemnas off.

Also bring [[Spirits]] that have Curaga and the [[Haste]] Support Magic to not have problems with the reload time, while having ones that can cast [[Spirit Roar]] in order for Sora's damage to increase temporarily, and, combined with his best commands, allowing him to wipe out up to 3 or 4 of the enemy's HP bars. Use Flowmotion to Sora's advantage, and the battle should end with minimal difficulty. It is a necessity to enter this fight with a full [[Drop Gauge]] (after using one to two [[Drop-Me-Not]]s), especially at lower levels.
If Xemnas is left undefeated for too long he might use Building Throw again.
