The Final Battle
The fun begins with you, Donald, and Goofy fighting Ansem on Destiny Island. He's got an annoyingly quick Heartless protecting him, but overall he's no match for your airborne combos. It may be a good idea to have one of your friends use Elixirs or Potions on you during this battle so you can save your own for later.

Round 2 pits Sora against a Darkside, the guy you fought way back at the beginning. He's a bit stronger, but his strategy hasn't changed a bit, making him a pushover.



Next, Ansem returns for another go-but this time you're alone, and he's learned a few irritating new tricks, including a painful magic attack like the one Cerberus used in Olympus Coliseum. Use Glide or-preferably-Dodge Roll to evade Ansem when he's unleashing all this flak, then go all-out on him when he's standing still. The Ragnarok ability can be devastating here.


Now look at Ansem-he's fused with a giant demonic airship. Fortunately, this is much easier than the previous fight. Cast Aero, fly up to him, and simply whack away. Second Chance is also handy here-it gives you a few extra seconds to cure yourself before you run out of hit points. After that's over, you must cut your way through three dark zones full of Heartless. You're automatically thrown into the first one; head for the portal near the base of the airship for the second one and defeat the demon face at the front for the third one. When you do, you'll be reunited with both Donald and Goofy afterward.

Once back on the airship, knock out the frowny faced thingy in the center. Ansem returns for the really, really final battle. The tactics here are exactly the same as before-Aero-ize yourself, Cure when necessary, and just slap the bejeezus out of the guy. Whew! That was quite a marathon.
