The battle starts with both parties in midair in [[The World That Never Was#Darkness's Call|Darkness's Call]]. As Riku is fully in midair, his Dream Eaters won't be active during this phase of the fight, and won't be able to give him support through spells like [[Cure]] commands, [[Haste]], or [[Spirit Roar]]. Due to the absence of the latter, his damage will be very limited if he is underleveled, and nearly null at level 1.

Ansem merges with the Dark Figure as he transports both himself and Riku to the [[The World That Never Was#Darkest End|Darkest End]] area. Ansem is now sealed inside a massive organic sphere with his Dark Figure attached to the top. Long-ranged commands are recommended in the case Ansem uses Dark Wave to back away. Once More can make the use of Firaga Burst safe during the Dark Rush attack, but still needs to be interrupted with a Block command as it deals good damage. Ansem will never use his Dark Rush attack if Riku is at a minimum of distance. The repetitive use of Balloonra can also deal a lot of damage to Ansem. Just like the previous fight, Ansem may respond with a taunt once his attacks succeed. When Ansem starts Dark Matter, Riku can use [[Firaga Burst]] (where the big fireball stays where it is) and once at the back, [[Ice Barrage]] to deal extra damage, but he must [[Lock-On]] for the ice command. Having [[Dark Roll]] equipped will help him move faster through the arena.

Once Riku is at the back of the arena, he can use [[Dark Splicer]], Dark Aura or [[Zantetsuken]], or the [[Ghost Drive]] [[Dual Style]], when he reaches the end of the pathway to warp right up to Ansem and deal damage. This is a risky tactic, as Riku can easily be captured by the Dark Web into the spheres of darkness, or Ansem's Dark Figure will attack with no chance to escape.

Ansem is first fought when he fights Riku and Sora along with Xigbar and Dark Riku, but he leaves the battle after 30 seconds and is finally fought for real alongside Xemnas and [[Young Xehanort]] at the end of the [[Keyblade Graveyard]].

Ansem's attacks include him creating violet spheres of [[light]] around Sora that launch lasers at him, surrounding himself in those spheres to generate a damaging barrier as he rushes to attack Sora, creating multiple dark crests that explode upon contact, spawning a dark circle that follows Sora and eventually transforms into a cage of dark claws, and his deadliest has Ansem exert red energy around him which pulls in and knocks back Sora before he unleashes tendrils of darkness that deal heavy damage; however if timed correctly, one can use [[Aerial Recovery]] and [[Payback Strike]], as the knockbacks before the blast deal no damage and it's possible to [[Glide]] away before getting trapped. During his attacks with the spheres, he cannot be flinched when hit. When he creates dark mines, the best way to clear them is to use Thunder magic. Sora can also use the explosions to trigger a reprisal by standing near the mines and blocking the explosions. This can work regardless of whether of not flash step is equipped.

Each member will have a dark aura whenever they disappear and reappear, meaning that Sora will be their only target. Each time they reappear, they will use a specific attack with the one with the aura appearing last. For Ansem, Young Xehanort will use his whip-snaring attack followed by Xemnas launching energy balls and Ansem using his shockwave last. To avoid this, [[Dodge Roll]] or jump to avoid Young Xehanort's attack, block Xemnas's energy balls and if you get caught by Ansem, carefully time your Aerial Recovery then Payback Strike. Each time a member is defeated or if all three disappear after attacking with the dark aura, the cyclone sequence will repeat itself with each member using a specific attack. If Young Xehanort is defeated first, Ansem will launch spheres of light that will extend into beams, then will release the cage of claws which will launch Sora into the air followed by Xemnas's rolling attack. First jump to avoid the cage and block all the beams and finally Xemnas. If Xemnas falls first, Young Xehanort will launch missiles of ice that will freeze Sora, followed by Ansem's shockwave attack. If Ansem's the only one left, he'll release the spheres like with Xemnas and use his shockwave attack. Sora can either block the beams and use Payback Strike or Dodge Roll the beams and Glide away, but the timing of the spheres can be a little tricky to dodge.

Ansem starts by summoning several laser orbs that float around Sora, then he summons a line of dark crests, and he'll follow up with firing sets of four projectiles and two projectiles shortly after that, four times. Once the first orbs start glowing, guard to block the lasers. Then, you can cast [[Thundaga]] to stun Ansem, airstep to him and attack to skip the projectiles. Additionally, you can wait until he fires the projectiles and airstep to him to attack. However, the timing is more strict this time as he might fire the second set, or the first set might still hit you. When his HP gets lower, he'll fire the projectiles immediately upon summoning the crests, giving no time to stun him with Thundaga.

Ansem frequently summons a circle of lasers around himself and chases Sora. This attack can easily be dodged or blocked consecutivaly. You can use a reprisal near the end to deal minor damage to Ansem, but don't follow up with a combo, as he'll immediately start the next attack.

Next, Ansem summons a shadow that follows Sora underneath him, along with a circle of crests around Sora. Wait for the shadow to expand, and dodge to avoid the dark claws. Wait for the crests to move before dodging those as they close in. After this, Ansem is open for a combo, so attack, using airstep if necessary.

Another attack involves Ansem rushing at Sora with a dark shield in front of him twice, before charging up and performing a more powerful dash. Block the first two dashes, then quickly airstep and immediately block without attacking. This will allow you to use [[Risk Dodge]] to attack him and leave him open for a combo.
Ansem retains his old Dark Rush ability. He will rush Sora twice, then charge up and perform a more powerful dash. Block the first two dashes, then quickly airstep and immediately block without attacking. The third rush breaks Sora's guard, so use [[Risk Dodge]] to counter before landing a combo.


After losing some HP, Ansem will perform his ultimate move, where he covers the entire arena in darkness and summons two giant orbs of darkness. The orbs will fire shots that inflict the {{c|Ignite|status}} or {{c|Freeze|status}} status effects. Ansem can also trap you with the orbs, dealing heavy damage and inflicting the {{c|Cloud|status}} status effect. When activating his ultimate move, Ansem will first move sideways in front of Sora. Once one of the orbs starts shaking, guard to block the shots. After blocking four times, airstep to Ansem and attack him. Next, he'll warp further away and the orbs will be at your side. Wait for one of them to move away slightly before blocking. After doing this three times, immediately [[Dodge Roll]] forward, as the orbs will try to trap you, and airstep to Ansem to attack him. After this, the attack will end.

After using his ultimate move, Ansem will have some new attacks. One involves him standing in the center of the arena, glowing red, and pulling Sora in. During this move, two sets of laser orbs will appear to damage Sora. Dodge the lasers instead of blocking to avoid getting sucked in, and keep dodging to avoid Ansem unleashing a shock wave. Afterwards, he'll be open to attack, so airstep to him and strike.

Ansem will have a different version of the laser orb attack after his ultimate move. He'll start by summoning a wall of lasers in front of himself, summoning lines of dark crests, and summoning the laser orbs. Block the lasers and use [[Counter Kick]] after the final laser to dash through another wall of lasers and attack Ansem.

Once his HP gets low, he'll perform a variation of his ultimate move. Once again, he'll cover the arena in darkness and summons the giant orbs. However, once this starts, quickly dodge away as he'll try to trap you right away. After this, he'll place the orbs behind one another. After a short pause, the front orb will fire a barrage of shots. Guard repeatedly to block the shots (which will inflict the [[Sneeze]] status effect if you get hit). Once it's done firing, it'll move towards you, so Dodge Roll through it. Repeat this with the second orb, and once you Dodge Roll though that, airstep to Ansem and attack. Next, he'll stand in the center, firing striped orb projectiles. These can't be blocked, so dodge them. He'll continue with the other attack afterwards, so block, dodge and attack until he falls.

If you're having trouble blocking and dodging his ultimate move, you might want to equip armor to protect against the status effects it causes.
