The Experiment acts similarly to Guard Armor and [[Opposite Armor]] in battle. While at first being one large enemy with a variety of attacks, it eventually separates into smaller enemies composed of different combinations of its parts. Little damage can be done to the parts individually, but the use of carefully timed [[Reaction Command]]s can bring it back together, and it can be defeated in this way.

It uses combinations of laser and shockwave attacks against Sora, and uses wind-based attacks to knock back Sora, keep him airborne, or prevent him from attacking. The Kickspring Reaction command counters the Experiment's attacks and is the only way to bring it back together to defeat it.
A low maximum combo length is recommended for this fight, as the Experiment staggers when hit with a finisher. [[Reflect]] is very useful for dealing with the Experiment's frequent laser attacks, which cannot be blocked.
 
The Experiment has three phases that change depending on how much HP it has remaining. It starts the fight in its first phase, attacking in two different patterns, one being '''Shockwave''' → two '''Claw Attacks'''; '''Laser''' → '''Charging Thrust''', and the other being three Lasers while using '''Absorb'''. When attacked by a combo finisher when its legs are attached, its head and arms temporarily separate; each body part attacks on its own with different attacks until they reattach. Prevent its attacks by attacking with combos or a strong Limit like [[Teamwork]].
 
When reduced to 70% HP, the Experiment's legs disappear and it enters its second phase. It now has two modes: separated, where its four detached body parts are positioned in certain areas; and combined, where its parts are combined and act together. Its behavior differs in either mode. If it uses its '''Spinning Body Check''' attack while separated, the '''Kickspring''' Reaction Command can be used in place of blocking. In its combined mode, it is fought much the same as in its first phase.
 
When reduced to below 10% HP, the Experiment enters its third phase. All of the Experiment's body parts besides the torso disappear, and it only uses ramming attacks. Attack it with combos to finish it off.
 
In ''[[Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix]]'', the Experiment is more likely to counter if attacked continuously.
