As Riku runs towards the machinery, the Holey Moley pops out from one of its holes and knocks Riku off his feet before ducking back into the hole. While Riku scans the room for it, it briefly reappears on the wall behind him and taps him on the back before disappearing again. Momentarily confused, Riku glances over his shoulder and spots the Nightmare on the far wall. He then engages it in battle, muttering how "they just never want to make this easy". After defeating the Holey Moley, Riku returns the gadget to its place and uses it to disable Pete's trap.

The Holey Moley tends to use "warp holes" to attack at first, mainly using its claws to deal damage. As always, Riku can use Flowmotion attacks to deal quick damage, but beware, as this still will leave him open to attacks. He does not have access to Reality Shift; instead, he should use warp attacks like Dark Aura, the Ghost Drive Dual Link, or Ice Barrage (as it can get an enemy from every distance) to attack the Moley even if it's behind a wall, but don't forget to lock it on. Once you chip it down by half, the Moley disappears and several hands appear. Unlike with [[Hockomonkey]]'s hands, you don't have to beat them to make the Moley itself re-appear, and can wait instead. Once it re-appears, only the head does it, use Flomotion on it to use Pole Spin and Buzz Saw to make the Moley unable to do anything for a certain period. The Holey Moley favors shooting gift-like objects at him from afar, but they can easily be avoided. When up close, the Moley will either attack with its claws or retreat into its dimensional hole and reappear close-by, though its retreating will deal some damage. Once it has only one HP bar left, the Moley will become more and more aggressive. As long as Riku dodges Holey Moley's attacks, the Nightmare will fall with relative ease.  
The Holey Moley is a hit-and-run fighter that uses its claws to deal damage and then escapes to another part of the battlefield via a "warp hole." Riku can use [[Flowmotion]] attacks to deal quick damage to this Dream Eater, and to compensate for his inability to use [[Reality Shift]]s against it, he can use warping attacks of his own, such as [[Dark Aura]] and the Ghost Drive Dual Link. [[Ice Barrage]] is a useful command to use against the Holey Moley, as it can strike the boss even at a distance. It is important to always Lock-On to the Holey Moley in order to track its movements.
