Game:Maleficent
| This article is about the enemy. You may be looking for the character. |
Template:Enemy Maleficent is a boss and also one of the main antagonists in all Kingdom Hearts titles except Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days. Like several other bosses, she takes on a more powerful form after her first defeat, in this case Maleficent (Dragon). She uses dark elemental magic as a form of attack in her boss battles.
Strategy
Kingdom Hearts
During this battle, Maleficent attacks from a floating platform. She summons Defenders and Darkballs to aid her in battle and uses powerful magic attacks. Cast Aerora to reduce the damage by half, as well as to deal sufficient damage whilst attacking her. If a player attacks the platform enough, it drops to the ground and Maleficent is open to attack. The player can also cast Gravity on the platform to bring it down.
When Maleficent cries, "Meteors of heaven, unleash thy fury!", move to the far edge of the curved area of the Chapel. This will prevent you from receiving a large amount of damage. Maleficent's other attacks - lightning strikes which follow the party members - are easily avoided by jumping.
If Sora's stats are rather low, then it is advisable to summon Tinker Bell to periodically restore Sora's HP and/or have Cure or Cura as a shortcut on the X button. Defenders drop MP orbs, and Darkballs drop HP orbs, giving you a plentiful supply of the two.
When she is defeated, the player will receive the Cheer Ability for Donald.
Kingdom Hearts Birth By Sleep
Maleficent also serves as a boss in Ventus' story, but is much more easily defeated than in Kingdom Hearts. She mainly teleports around the arena shooting dark lightning at the player, which is easily dodged due to the fact that she will always chant beforehand. On occasion she may turn into a ball of light and fly across the arena to avoid damage. Her special attack consists of her teleporting to the center of the arena and chanting, creating shockwaves of green fire that will stun Ven for 6 seconds, leaving him open to attack. After this, the player must utilize different commands until Maleficient is stunned. Once stunned, she is vunerable to attack.
