He is at first unable to reach the man because of the cyclone of keyblades, but after being aided by Aqua's magic, he is able to reach the man's cliff and attack him. The old man, wielding a keyblade of his own, is able to fend him off with a [[Blizzard|freezing]] spell. Once the old man gets a hold of Ven, a younger knight, Terra is thrown off the cliff by the [[keyblade]] cyclone, ending his involvement in the struggle. He is seen one last time after the appearance of [[Kingdom Hearts (Combined Heart)|Kingdom Hearts]], when he pulls off his helmet to gaze up at it. His face and his reaction to the appearance of Kingdom Hearts, which turns his eyes yellow, have given rise to much speculation among fans, who have connected him to [[Saïx]] and no concrete connection has been made by Nomura.

==''Kingdom Hearts II: Final Mix+'' Appearance==
[[Image:Terra-Armor.jpg|240px|right]]
Terra did appear in ''Kingdom Hearts II: Final Mix+'' as a secret boss, at first mentioning Aqua and Ven and mistaking [[Sora]] as "the one he has chosen" (possibly [[Riku]], who was originally ''chosen'' by the Keyblade), then wonders if Sora is [[Master Xehanort|"Xehanort"]] before finally attacking him. Unlike [[Sephiroth]], another secret boss in the game, Terra fights against both Sora and his main companions, [[Donald Duck|Donald]] and [[Goofy]]. After losing once, he can be challenged again, this time saying that he has nothing more to give to Sora except his hatred for "Xehanort". It's unclear why he actually attacks Sora. After the fight, he acknowledges Sora as a Keyblade Master.


He, like the game's other secret bosses, is difficult to defeat; his most basic moves are attacking with his Keyblade (using a combo attack almost identical to Sora's, except that at the end he turns his Keyblade into a drill-like object for the foward thrust), and can fly at very high speeds. His main abilities are transforming his Keyblade into various attacking forms. He can turn it into a whip that does less damage than the blade form, but its greater speed and reach makes up for it (it's so fast that if Sora is hit by it he won't be able to dodge or block the other hits), or a massive cannon (which is even bigger then he is) that fires out a large, very powerful ball of energy (Sora, however, can deflect this back to Terra, which leaves him very vulnerable), a jet-ski like object that lets him fly extremely fast, a cog-like object that spins around so fast that if Sora gets hit by it once, then the rest of the hits will also hit Sora. He can also conjure a "ritual" like attack, which undergoes into a berserker-like condition (similar to Riku's transformation into Dark-mode) in this form, red auras surrounds him, which he can split his Keyblade into two weapons. This, when added with his combos, makes him extremely lethal.
In addition to his Keyblade, Terra has other abilities as well. He can also create an unusual looking seal that either creates an orange or blue orb. An orange orb causes Sora to be unable to attack and a blue orb prevents him from using magic or items. He can also conjure drone-like objects which fire plasma at Sora and his party. A particularly deadly attack is trapping Sora in a triangle of objects that drain his heath at a very fast rate (similar to an attack used by Xemnas, but much more powerful), and only a "Break Free" command on [[Sora]] command list can save him from it. Finally, Terra has one last attack where he gathers energy and unleashes it in a flurry of strikes that reduce Sora to 1 hp. Interestingly, when he strikes Sora with his Keyblade(s), most of his combos resembles Sora's combos, most notably the [[Valor Form|Valor]] and [[Final Form]] combos.
Terra is the most powerful enemy in ''Final Mix+'' and is arguably the hardest boss in the series. His level of power compared to all other bosses in the series may be a foreshadowing of sorts to something as-of-yet unrevealed.
