Game:Lock, Shock, and Barrel
Lock, Shock and Barrel are boss characters who appeared in both Kingdom Hearts and Kingdom Hearts II as well as Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days. They are children from Halloween Town. Originally from Tim Burton's "The Nightmare Before Christmas" they carry out many roles in the games. In Kingdom Hearts they assist Oogie Boogie by stealing Jack's experimental heart. In Kingdom Hearts II they wreak havoc in Christmas Town . During the boss battle all three of them appear together unlike other boss fights where Sora battles a single individual boss. Because of this alot of havoc is created during the battle.
Strategy
Kingdom Hearts
The trio is fairly easy to defeat, begin by taking out Lock and his annoying slingshot attack. He will leap very high to avoid you. Then change your Lock on to Shock be careful when she goes into her spinning attack, jump dodge or guard to get out of the way then blast her with Fire or Blizzard magic to slow her down. When you finish with those two begin attacking Barrel, as he has the most HP it may take a few extra hits. Barrel's special move is a cannonball sprint, its possible to stop him but good timing is crucial. It's a good idea to have a potion or two at the ready, or Cure magic on your shortcut menu as having multiple enemies can make your Guard ability more or less worthless. Make sure you defeat them in that order or you won't receive as many Experience points. It is suggested to try to corner most of the enemies.
Kingdom Hearts II
The battle with the kids is less a battle and more a game in Kingdom Hearts II they will run around in front of your camera, and much the same way as with Chicken Little you must fire upon your enemies only instead of baseballs or bullets your using presents. The mini-game doesn't take much time if you understand the premise and if you get stuck just try again.
