For the skipping Riku part there are 2 ways: 1) Beat him fast enough 2) Whenever you hear “Can you spare a heart?”, reflect or limit and you will cancel it. So yeah, unless you understand the fight well enough to beat him quickly, ethers are important here.
Your guide literally saved me countless hours lost to his bs attack patterns. Thank you for not being condescending in your approach to teach people how to beat it. It’s extremely refreshing
Guys make sure before doing the fight that you go to twtnw and stock riku up on hi potions and ethers make sure his ability potion is on so he doesnt die also he didnt mention the part where he says can you spare a heart you just walk forward and spam square when you see him use the shield
Stragedy: 1st phase: try to block his attacks. If your unsuccessful, he will constantly attack you and you can't do anything about it. He will also frequently put up a electric shield and teleport. But he will use these as an advantage to combo you. One time he will put a thing on you and you will slowly lose hp until you reach the building and press triangle. Press triangle when prompt. There are not other attacks besides these ones. If you get low on hp and your mp is recharging, stay away and try to wait until your mp fully charges. For faster refill, activate your limit form(uses 4 DG). Its best to have at least 8 or 9 DG. Use the dash attack and you will deal tons of damage. Also if you end the battle when your in form, your Guage fully refills. Also try to attack him overhead too. 2nd phase: This battle alot harder. You need to give riku the best equipment available as he has low stats. make sure you and him have enough health and KEEP YOUR HP HIGH AS POSSIBLE! Ok let's talk about the attacks. He will throw electric bombs at you. You can use form ability quick run before the bombs appears to get pass them and get to xemnas. He will also put you up in the air and you want to use RC to dodge his string attacks. As he will pull the strings at you constantly. Their is another form of attacks where he will throw lasers at you. They are hard to dodge and time. Ok now for the hard to escape parts: there are 2 of them. He will capture sora in a electric bubble and you need to get riku to get to sora and have your fingers on square and triangle. Don't press triangle yet. Press square to keep his fake one at bay. WARNING: if you dont make it in time or riku gets hit even once, you will get a game over! Once you get to sora, use triangle to rescue him. Now the other one: xemnas shouldn't have any extra bars left to activate this. When he does, you will be in a black pitch void with lasers surrounding you and riku so... PUT YOUR FUCKING FINGERS ON TRIANGLE AND X AND PUT THE CONTROLLER DOWN!!! you have to press these buttons constantly as the lasers will continue to shoot at you! But hey here's the good news: after you succeed from this: he will be unconscious and he will have little of hp left. So 1 hit will kill xemnas but if you fail to press the buttons, your on the path to game over and you can't change it as sora is lazy to dodge them.
Thank you I could not avoid getting grabbed at the end and always die before I could save Sora. Buy thanks to your vid I got to skip that part completely. Thanks soooooo much you made following along so easy.😁🙂🙂👍🏿
Appreciated, VTNVIVI. The first part is easy if you don't slip-up on the timing of the guard outside, but it was in the second phase were I was making mistakes. The Sessions Limit is gonna save me a headache. I kept getting caught by Xemnas, and even though I have Reflega equipped, I don't use it. Big thanks.
this helped me even in 2022, I didn't think about approaching him and reflecting and then comboing, I somehow avoided the "can you spare a heart?" move too
Replaying KH2FM for the plat and I can’t for the life of me time my reflects or move fast enough 😂 so much practice ahead of me, but I’ll keep trying these strategies.
If anybody still needs help with this you can easily beat first phase by mashing square and using limit form rave, for the second phase I just glide around until he does the attack with the 2 big balls that’s where you wanna glide close and reflect it which staggers him and opens him up for combo, every other attack is too hard to block consistently, when you are riku just run straight to him using square every 3 seconds and triangle on sora, then it’s the same thing in the video… limit session on grab guard on lasers but the orb attack he does is when you will do your damage it takes longer but it’s much safer
Ive tried this many and many times and all of my reflects aren't working. He's shredding through them and it's like he has a mind of it's own. It's like he knows what I'm trying to do. Every time I use reflect it's either I get hit back from my own reflect or he's shredding through it.
same dude he is never stunned by my reflects when i got to his second phase riku used all his potions before i got his first bar down because reflect wasn't working lol
There’s an attack where he holds Sora and you play with Riku. It is the most annoying attack in the history of video games. He does that all the time with me. How come he didn’t do a single time with you? Is there any trick to make him not do it?
I can't get the RC to work during the first phase of the fight where you run up the skyscraper. I'm pressing triangle, it blinks once, then I never get the second or third RC. Do you need to press something else besides triangle? I'm on PS4, critical mode if that makes a difference.
You pulling off flawless combos vs me permagliding around the edge of the map waiting for the MP bar to refill so I can pull off 2 thunders and a cure 😅
I cant hear him in time when he says can you spare a heart i know you're supposed to use reflect but when it cuts to riku i get insta killed by the stupid glowing ball things
Man, I wish they would have gave up the option of removing the Crown on Sora. I’ve just never been a fan of those things. Wouldn’t it be more beneficial to have Riku equipped with Megapotions so he and Sora both get healed rather than gambling on the chance that his AI might use the Hi-Potion on himself rather than on Sora? Like for instance: Xemas is down to a bar and a half but you’ve only got 25% of your health while maybe Riku only has 10%, so he heals himself and then potentially costs you the attempt?
What i dont get is why devs think removing players ability to do anything is good design. I love attacking xemnas then having like 15-30 seconds of him attack looping sora while i wait doing nothing.
Obviously you'll have figured this out by now, but for anyone else reading and wondering the same thing, yes, just like you would any other time you face him or his various incarnations with multiple phases throughout the series.

Moogles are the devs making the in-game bosses pay to win, confirmed.

Thanks I fought him like a dozen times and finally got him cause of this vid
Glad I could help!
This was my last data battle, struggled a lot this video helped a ton and I did it on my first attempt after watching
Mate... I've tried for nearly 20 times.
Thank you so very much.
So why is it that your fight didn't have the part where Sora is captured and you have to be Riku?
If you can take down his HP fast enough, you can skip it.
VTNVIVI actually if you reflect like you did at 4:50 you block it
@Damnd Damnd press x to doubt
@@SanvelloSerapiega but what if he uses it immediately after you block his "you shall go together" attack with a limit break?
@@fghdkjlfkghfc the easy way to block things is reflect. You can dodge roll it. Im pretty sure elixirs and ethers during the limit are also a thing.

See he didn't grab sora n make u play as riku
Thanks man I’m doing this right before kh3 comes out 🙌🏽appreciate it

Glad it helped!
I just started using ethers and limits and it worked out immediately, thanks 👍
Coming back here makes it nostalgia already
Nostalgia ? No, man, that's called Stockholm Syndrome.
I was able to beat him with your help! Thank you!
Stock up on Ethers for you and Riku then spam Session
Replaying KH2FM for the plat and I can’t for the life of me time my reflects or move fast enough 😂 so much practice ahead of me, but I’ll keep trying these strategies.
Thank you for this video, it was a massive help
How did you get the reaction commands for the clashing part

"guess he's on vacation" LMAO

Hmm... That's weird. Footage in the video is from the PS3 version.
@@VtnVivi I was finally able to get it to work by pressing x, x, then triangle.
thanks dude, still in 2021 watched. now xaldin is the last one💪🏽
No problem!
do you know how tough data xemnas will be on standard? bout as difficult as he is on crit?
Do you have any suggestions for the phase where Sora is taken and you play as Riku?
Not that i recall :)
@@VtnVivi okay
@@VtnVivi I actually got around that phase somewhat but thanks for the guide
OK, I believe you!
Ouchie ouch
dude thank you sooooooo much this helped me a lot 👍
+Rigor Demonic :D No problem!
I couldn't believe how easy he was with your help 😊
really tight play. Thanks this was wicked helpful
No problem!
Dude, your guide fucking ROCKS. I kicked his ass in 2 tries after I've been trying for hours! Thank you so much!
Glad it helped!

Looks like I wont be grinding Power boosts like I originally planed cause hes WAY to hard to beat over and over again.
i struggled with the first part so many times, but i completed the second part on my first time by spamming limit form and riku's limit
Aqui en 2023 aun sirve esta estrategia gracias
great video and thanks for helping me out
No problem :D
I cant hear him in time when he says can you spare a heart i know you're supposed to use reflect but when it cuts to riku i get insta killed by the stupid glowing ball things
I finally got it thanks for the guide
No problem 👍
Is it just me or does he almost never throw you back to the ground like he used to in the original game, even after the update.
So how do you avoid that attack where you have to play as Riku?
You just have to get Xemnas' health down enough to skip it that's all.
way very helpful, thank you
No problem!

Bro your are a master sensei damm first try exellent guidr
Glad I could help!
reflega never stuns him for me he always just hits through it takes damage and continues to hit me and doesn't react to the reflega at all
I DIDNT SIGN UP FOR A SECOND PHASE
The question is do you have to restart from 1st battle if you lose in 2nd battle?
Obviously you'll have figured this out by now, but for anyone else reading and wondering the same thing, yes, just like you would any other time you face him or his various incarnations with multiple phases throughout the series.
My reaction commands were fine and I was playing on the PS4 just lucky I guess?
They fixed those in the PS4 port.
How do you get glide I don't have it yet
You need to get Final Form first. Try entering a form multiple times in the Underworld cups. You can find an easy guide on RUclips.
@@VtnVivi cool thanks
helped a whole bunch
how do you get full bloom+'s?
Beat Marluxia's absent silhouette, then farm a lot
God DAMN riku keeps dying!
Sad.
kingdom hearts fan man exactly my issue
The Second Phase you Are Looping Him Even In Phase One P.S How Can I Stop Xemnas Grabbing Me?
Use Session or try reflega when he tries to capture you.
ironically hes one of the easier data fights
Thankyou fore the help ido as like you say i reflectet and guard. And🙂
Someone at square should be fired for how often the AI blatantly breaks the rules of game during this fight
Only viable strat on the internet destroyed him np even years later
thank u
No problem!
thanks
:)
Bro the 1 part I needed you just skipped
Why the pausing? We all know that you can't go antifoam in battles alone.
Kek Gaming it has nothing to do with anti form. It's because of bad loading times when switching to drive forms, and pausing negates the problem.
Not the anti-foam anything but that *Laughs some more* kek gaming
First fight: gotten a bit easier.
Second fight: Reflect don’t do shit at the orbs part
It help idefeatet him🙂😌😀
Yay!
Literally ignored the only difficult part of this fight where Riku fkn dies
Xemmess is not hard to me, the only problem I have with him is fucking weak, slow ass Riku dying or having low life before sora gets captured
Playing on critical? I know the feeling.
VTNVIVI Wow fantastic feedback!
VTNVIVI idk what his issue is lol
SPAM BLIZZARD ON THE FIRST BATTLE LMFAO
how do you get session? i only have trinity
