Earth Core

If you want to rock these baddies' world, aim for the face; their pointy posteriors will only deflect your blows. Physical attacks will pass through them when they sand-travel, but spells still hit home, so mash that magic! When they gather sand and grow enormous, a Goofy Bombardier will cut them down to size in no time.

The Earth Core is a Heartless that appears in Kingdom Hearts 0.2 Birth by Sleep -A fragmentary passage- and Kingdom Hearts III.

Battle

Attacks

Kingdom Hearts III

Earth Core

• Drill Attack (ドリルアタック, Doriru Atakku)
• Spin Liner (スピンライナー, Supin Rainā)
• Moving Sand (砂移動, Suna Idō)

Earth Core (Tower)

• Rock Spout (岩吐き出し, Iwa Hakidashi)
• Sand Dive (砂もぐり, Suna Moguri)

Strategy

The Earth Core does not generate earthy matter for its attacks. Its face is the only vulnerable spot on its body. Any attempts to attack elsewhere are simply repelled; collision with this Heartless briefly stuns whoever it hits, leaving them vulnerable for additional damage. Should one turn into its Tower form, it can be instantly destroyed if the player uses Goofy Bombardier while locked on to it, this will result in Goofy going into its mouth, destroying it from the inside.
