As Xehanort's HP dwindles, he goes even further on the offensive. He will often start one of his long-duration techniques, then continue to attack with different techniques while the first one is playing out. Xehanort will also clone himself, creating four copies that can attack and move independently of the true Xehanort. However, the clones can dissipate after being hit once, so try to use a multi-hitting attack to clear the clones. His most frustrating tactic is to snare the protagonist with his Collision Magnet, then immediately following it up with another attack and a game over (although there are very rare occasions in which the protagonist can escape before Xehanort strings together another attack). Collision Magnet can be avoided easily by simply dashing towards Xehanort when he jumps in the air, and also seems to be canceled if Xehanort pulls the protagonist up against a wall. | As Xehanort's HP dwindles, he goes even further on the offensive.

After half of his heath is gone, Young Xehanort will begin to turn invisible. While he cannot be locked on, he does leave a faint shimmer and can be "visible" through his Ethereal Blades, so he can still take damage. He still uses his old abilities, but since he is invisible, it is harder to see when he uses them. However, he also gains new abilities, such as firing a beam that inflicts Doom and forces mashing {{button|X}} to escape, and casting Mega Flare and Meteor to inflict massive damage. If the player uses a D-Link during the battle, Young Xehanort will turn invisible immediately, even if he has not reached half health. | After half of his heath is gone, Young Xehanort will begin to turn invisible.

To provide for defense, Riku should equip [[Dark Barrier]], [[Dark Roll]], [[Counter Aura]], [[Leaf Bracer]], [[Second Chance]], [[Once More]], and [[Slow Block]]. His Command Deck should include homing attacks like [[Balloonga]], [[Firaga Burst]] and [[Dark Firaga]], as well as powerful attacks like [[Dark Aura]], [[Dark Splicer]], [[Meteor Crash]] and [[Shadowbreaker]], and healing commands like [[Curaga]]. Also, make sure to have two Spirits that have healing commands, that can cast Support Magic like Haste, Spirit Roar at the same time as well. | To provide for defense, Riku should equip [[Dark Barrier]], [[Dark Roll]], [[Counter Aura]], [[Leaf Bracer]], [[Second Chance]], [[Once More]], and [[Slow Block]].

Once Xehanort's health has been depleted to 1, he will freeze time and warp into a giant Clock that appears in the center of the arena. Wait until the option to perform a [[Mirage Split]] [[Reality Shift]] appears. This will trigger the final stage of the battle. The Reality Shift prompt will appear within a split second. If Riku misses the timing, Xehanort will rewind time to the beginning of the fight and heal his HP, with his max HP cut at 30% (approximately two and a half life bars). His health must be depleted again in order to perform Mirage Split, but this time, the prompt will remain for a longer period of time. | Once Xehanort's health has been depleted to 1, he will freeze time and warp into a giant Clock that appears in the center of the arena.

For the final stage of the fight, Xehanort remains inside the Clock, which is now vulnerable to attack. Though he does not attack Riku directly, he creates half-invincible clones of himself to defend the Clock. The clones will attempt to swarm Riku with Dual-Wield Wild Dance, X Blade, and Raging Storm, but may occasionally disappear if attacked. It is safer to evade these attacks than to block them, as blocking those attacks will lock-out the clock, due to the fact they came from the clones and not the Clock itself. While the Clock is open to attack while the clones are not on the field, as this phase is more time based than the previous one, Riku should have Spirit Roar and Haste cast on him by his spirits so that he can inflict more damage while not being restricted to waiting for his commands to reload, for the reason that if the hands on the Clock strike 12 before Riku destroys it, it will rewind time to the first phase with the max HP re-filled but cut to 30%. As Xehanort will stop his attacks before it rewinds time, Riku should at that time unleash his most powerful commands as fast as possible if the Clock is close to be defeated; however, after Xehanort rewinds time once, his Clock will have its HP filled with their max HP cut at 30% as well, and thus, for the subsequent times this phase will restart, making it easier to destroy the Clock on the next try. Multi-hit warping attacks such as Dark Splicer and Dark Aura can bypass Xehanort's clones and remove multiple health bars off the clock, even finishing it off if at low health. Do this with caution, however, as Riku can be attacked and deflected by incoming clones which use Dual-Wield Wild Dance and Raging Storm, which can knock him away during Dark Aura. | For the final stage of the fight, Xehanort remains inside the Clock, which is now vulnerable to attack.

Due to the relentless assault of the clones, leaving few to no windows of opportunity to attack, a reliable strategy is to activate commands like Firaga Burst while in midair. Releasing the commands at the apex of Riku's [[Doubleflight]] will allow Riku to avoid interruption from the clones' attacks, but be mindful of the X Blade attack which can still hit him no matter where he is, but do not make him stagger during a Firaga Burst. | Due to the relentless assault of the clones, leaving few to no windows of opportunity to attack, a reliable strategy is to activate commands like Firaga Burst while in midair.

[[File:Versus Ansem, Xemnas, and Young Xehanort KHIII.png|thumb|right|Young Xehanort, Ansem, and Xemnas, battling against Sora, Riku, and King Mickey.]] | |||
Young Xehanort is fought alongside Ansem and Xemnas by Sora, Riku and [[King Mickey]] as the final boss fights of the Keyblade Graveyard. Although his health is less than that of the other two top-tier members of the Real Organization XIII, he is still not to be underestimated. Young Xehanort is able to turn his Keyblade into a whip that has a long range and can also briefly ensnare Sora and is able to summon a small rift to launch a whip attack from. He can also summon a ring of 9 icicles that he launches at Sora which deals Blizzard damage and his deadliest attack has him summoning a circle of time that stops time as he unleashes invisible attacks at Sora. It's recommended to take him out first as he's the easiest to combo, if hit twice by his whip combos, it is possible to quickly block the third attack and use [[Risk Dodge]] to fight back. The whip combo can also hit you in the air. Each member will have a dark aura surrounding them whenever they disappear and reappear to attack, which means they'll only target Sora and each of them will use a specific attack with the one with the aura appearing last. For Young Xehanort, Ansem and Xemnas will create dark mines and ethereal blades followed by Xehanort's time-stopping attack. Jump and block the ethereal blades and use [[thunder]] to destroy the mines to avoid damage. During Master Xehanort's storm of Keyblades, each member will use an attack in a specific order. For all three, Young Xehanort will use his time-stopping attack followed by Xemnas's rolling attack and Ansem's shockwave. The best way to avoid them is to jump over Xehanort's, block Xemnas's incoming attack and [[glide]] away from Ansem. If Xemnas is beaten, Xehanort will launch the icicles followed by Ansem's shockwave attack. Having Riku and Mickey active is wise as they can do double and triple damage when attacking together, if they're trying to attack your target, it's wise to stop your combos and let them land their own. | Young Xehanort is fought alongside Ansem and Xemnas by Sora, Riku and [[King Mickey]] as the final boss fights of the Keyblade Graveyard.

Like with all the other data rematches, even though Young Xehanort's HP bar may be the least among them, he is still extremely powerful. Young Xehanort has a tendency to teleport often, create clone illusions, and throw feint swings, to confuse Sora before attacking. He will often formchange his Keyblade into a whip for a long reach, as well. He is also capable of freezing Sora with certain attacks, so it is recommended to equip [[Freeze Protection]] through equipment such as the [[Snowman Rosette]] armor or the [[Crystal Snow]] Keyblade. Only one of Young Xehanort's attacks is unblockable, so the first instinct for most of his attacks should be to block. | Like with all the other data rematches, even though Young Xehanort's HP bar may be the least among them, he is still extremely powerful.
