Shadow Stalker and Dark Thorn: Difference between revisions

The Shadow Stalker is a Pureblood Heartless summoned by [[Xaldin]] after his first attempt to turn the [[Beast]] into a Heartless failed. While Sora, Donald, and Goofy were speaking with the Beast, the Shadow Stalker chased [[Belle]] down to the ballroom, where she called for the Beast's help. Sora, Donald, Goofy, and the Beast arrived just in time to see Belle escape the Heartless out onto the balcony. The Shadow Stalker then turned from her to the party. Similar to the [[Possessor]] Heartless that resided below, the Shadow Stalker possessed the room itself, using the windows, pillars, chandelier, and floor to attack Sora and the Beast.

However, when it is driven from the walls, its chains are released and it transforms into the monstrous Dark Thorn. In this new, powerful bestial form, it attacks the party ferociously with furious attacks and its ability to become invisible. Sora, however, is able to use the very elements that the Heartless had recently possessed to beat it into submission. The Heartless fades back into darkness, and Xaldin leaves the castle to reform his plan.

*Claw Attack - Damage x1

*Swing Around - Swing Damage x0 / Throw Damage x1.5

*Chandelier Attack - Fall Damage x1.5 / Spin Damage x2

*Throws you at pillar - Unknown

Despite the fact that it turns invisible, it is still able to be targeted - this being a boon to players during the battle. However, it is more agile when invisible and the fight becomes much easier when the invisibility is lost following the use of the Stepvault [[Reaction Command]], during which Sora will jump onto the chandelier, and, following another command, lower the chandelier and swing it about in circles, hitting the Dark Thorn and rendering it visible. Following this somewhat-dramatic assault, the battle becomes considerably easier, as the boss moves more slowly. The Dark Thorn is also able to summon Possessors to attack Sora.
