Eventually, Riku will cloak himself with darkness and a purple aura will surround him. During this period, his speed and agility increase and he gains two new attacks; one involves throwing his Keyblade at Sora, similar to [[Strike Raid]] (be careful when countering this attack, as if it hits Riku he will use Dark Firaga) and his infamous [[Dark Aura]]. Fortunately, his thrown Keyblade can be deflected either by guarding or striking with perfect timing; for each successful deflect, Riku will receive damage and be momentarily stunned. Seize this opportunity and attack relentlessly. | Eventually, Riku will cloak himself with darkness and a purple aura will surround him.

When Riku's health bar drops to his final one, he'll become more aggressive and uses Dark Aura very often, telegraphed by him announcing, "Behold the power of darkness!" or "Open your heart to darkness!". Riku's Dark Aura is predictable, but it can be difficult to dodge. When he begins floating and charging, stay a safe distance away from him and High Jump right before he starts shooting around. Immediately execute Glide and move around in a circular fashion. Near the end of his assault, repeat the phase and start Gliding again. Riku's finisher covers about 60% of the arena, so it'll be pretty hard to evade it. Alternatively, when he charges to one particular end of the arena (he usually starts with the top left corner), jump and stay there: Riku will not charge into the same area twice. | When Riku's health bar drops to his final one, he'll stay in his Dark form permanently and become more aggressive and uses Dark Aura very often, telegraphed by him announcing, "Behold the power of darkness!" or "Open your heart to darkness!".

Attacking and counterattacking are good tactics while Riku is in this form, just pay attention to what he says and heal occasionally. | Attacking and counterattacking are good tactics while Riku is in this form, just pay attention to what he says and heal occasionally. | ||
