Barbossa will be either | Barbossa will be either a near-impossible or easy boss depending on the player's strategy. The game will end immediately if Jack perishes, which is why it is imperative that the player equip his abilities—No Mercy, Rain Storm, Bone Smash and the limit Treasure Isle—before the battle begins. | ||
Barbossa is assisted by a special Heartless called the Illuminator. It creates darkness in the room, and must be eliminated first so that the cursed Barbossa can be damaged. Be careful, as the room will be very dark and Barbossa can attack from anywhere without warning. Look out for a pair of glowing eyes in the gloom, then run towards them and attack the Heartless until its slain. Barbossa can now be fought normally. After a while a new Illuminator will appear and, once again, it must be dispatched so that the fight can continue. It ''must'' be noted that the shaded parts of the cave do act as areas where Barbossa is protected from the moonlight, meaning that the player must be conscious of where they take the fight. | Barbossa is assisted by a special Heartless called the Illuminator.

[[Wisdom Form]] is extremely effective against Barbossa, due to his stark weakness against magic and the form's long-ranged capabilities. Stay a good distance away from Barbossa, and cast Blizzard. This should freeze him for about five seconds where he can be pelted by Wisdom Form's shots safely. When Sora reverts, Ether(s) should be used if MP Charge is active, then activate Jack's Limit command 'Bluff'. This should be enough to completely finish Barbossa off, and if done quickly enough, will not give him enough time to summon another Illuminator. Keep this strategy up and it is possible to achieve victory in under a minute. It is recommended that Sora equips the [[Blizzard Boost]] ability if he has it. Anti-Form is also unavailable, as Jack cannot leave the party. | [[Wisdom Form]] is extremely effective against Barbossa, due to his stark weakness against magic and the form's long-ranged capabilities.

Alternately, 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. | Alternately, 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.

You can also use Thunder on Barbossa, as it will send him in the air, stunned, looking like he has been electrocuted. Now is a good time to use an air combo. | ||

Weaknesses aside, Barbossa is still dangerous nonetheless. His most basic attack where he lunges forward slashing can knock Sora into the air, and is often followed by a pistol shot that is unblockable, so close quarters combat is not a particularly good idea. At medium range he can throw bombs on the ground; at longer range he’ll often shoot his pistol. If the player cannot stop him from attacking at all, then his attention should be directed away from Jack as much as possible to lower the possibility of failure. On the other hand, Barbossa is one of the only bosses in the game that can be prevented from attacking, with the right timing of Magic casts, making him humorously easy with the right strategy. Upon victory, Sora receives the [[Follow the Wind]] Keyblade. | Weaknesses aside, Barbossa is still dangerous nonetheless.
