The '''Armor of Eraqus''' is a boss exclusive to ''[[Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep Final Mix]]''. It is a data simulation of [[Master Eraqus]]'s [[Keyblade Armor]], and it is fought within the "[[Light's Lessons]]" battle in the [[Mirage Arena]]. It wields the [[Master's Defender]] in battle.

==Design==
The Armor of Eraqus is a sentient suit of Keyblade Armor that wields Master Eraqus's Keyblade in battle. Its torso is covered with dull, faded green armor that sports a small Mark of Mastery symbol in its center. The rest of the armor on its arms, legs, and chest are predominantly bronze and silver. Its pointed, armored boots are black and gold and its upper arms and thighs have wide, supplementary armor with gold edges covering them. The Armor of Eraqus's helmet is silver with a gold chin with jagged "teeth" and a [[Terra's Mark]] symbol of the same color adorning its forehead. The helmet is also decorated by three long, thin, silver pikes on its top and sides. Its hands and neck are covered by a black material.

The Armor of Eraqus's name reflects how it is the Keyblade Armor of [[Terra]], [[Ventus]], and [[Aqua]]'s master, Eraqus.

==Strategy==
The Armor of Eraqus uses most of {{ns|Game|Eraqus}}'s techniques, but also imitates the protagonist's unique [[Command Style]]s and special abilities. Later in the battle, it can gain a magical seal on its back after ensnaring the protagonist; if the protagonist attacks the Armor in this phase, they will be stunned by the seal, leaving them wide open for the Armor to attack. Basic [[Keyblade]] strikes do minimal damage to the boss. The difficulty level of the boss fight is toned down in the ''[[Kingdom Hearts HD 2.5 ReMIX]]'' version, notably its HP.

The Armor is particularly vulnerable to [[Shotlock]]s and Reprisals, and can also be damaged by reflecting its projectile attacks. Surge [[commands]] can also be used to deal damage while gaining range away from the Armor, while Mine commands will allow the player to lay traps without risking damage by getting too close to the Armor.

|The Armor creates a rotating wheel of lasers which oscillate up and down, making it harder to avoid, especially for Terra. Ventus and Aqua can dodge continuously until the attack ends. A useful trick is to dodge towards an area where the beams cannot touch the opponent.

{{Atk|''Style Change'' 
|?
|?
|?
|?
|Fires chains of [[light]], which have a short range. If the chains hit an opponent, the Armor switches battle styles according to the character of the target, or acquires a seal on its back, and alternates between that and the style change. The chosen Command Style is telegraphed by the color of the aura: yellow for Terra, green for Ventus, blue for Aqua.
