Locations

Journal Entry

Kingdom Hearts II

An assassin. A high-ranking Nobody. It hides in the ground and attacks quietly from behind.

It cannot be attacked while it is in the ground. Parry its attacks to get it to surface.

When it starts running around, look out! It'll begin to unleash powerful attacks. Don't miss any chances to use the reaction commands to defeat as many as possible at once!

Strategy

Assassins spend a lot of time in the ground. When they attack by flailing wildly, parry then attack.

If you can use the Reaction Command Fail-Safe, do so. This will make the Assassin explode, cause you no damage and still giving you Experience.

If you wish to fight powerful Assassins, the upper area of the Hall Of Empty Melodies in the Castle That Never Was is the only good place. However, in Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix, you can fight even more powerful Assassins in the Cavern of Remembrance.

In Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days, Assassins can be battled as parts of several of Roxas's missions. For example, Roxas must destroy as many pots as possible in one minute, but some of them contain Assassins.

Etymology

The Assassin is based on the Final Fantasy job class of the same name.


Trivia

It's possible that the "Assassin" Nobodies is a reference to when Axel assassinated Vexen, attempted to assassinated Marluxia, and had Riku Replica to kill Zexion.
