It is important to be able to climb on top of Cerberus's back, in order to avoid his Dark Breath attack and his Fireballs. Alternatively, one may use [[Dodge Roll]] to avoid Cerberus's Dark Breath attack, or even deft running. Going under Cerberus when he uses Dark Breath will not work. Lock on to one of the outside heads and remain close to Cerberus's side. | |||

Use the Guard ability to deflect his fireballs. Use his back and the stairs as places to heal, which is important to do often. Be sure to stock up on Ethers and Potions, or be sure to equip a Keyblade and items that give Sora at least 10 [[MP]]. Do not rely on Donald for healing, as he dies quickly, especially in the first battle. | Use the Guard ability to deflect his fireballs.

Keep attacking the heads with your Keyblade and use a combination of Fire and Thunder magic to finish him off. While attacking the side heads, cast [[Aeroga]] on Sora to increase the damage.

The [[Star Seeker]] Keyblade is recommended, as its aerial boost will be helpful while performing aerial combos. Cerberus often swivels around leaving Sora nothing but his back, preventing damage. Just lock onto a head and start using combos, and Bushido whenever possible. If one wishes to use more magic, use Thunder on one head until Sora has almost no MP left, then use Bushido. | The [[Star Seeker]] Keyblade is recommended, as its aerial boost will be helpful while performing aerial combos.

Use the Reaction Commands when caught between by the three heads to deal major damage. If Sora's HP gets low, stick to the edges and use Quick Run to avoid Cerberus when he jumps over to Sora.

The Cerberus and Cerberus Paradox Cups are timed battles, so one should be wary of the time constraint. Cerberus is fought alone, although Drives are available to use. Sora can use Valor Form for its quick hits, or play it safe and shoot magic bullets at Cerberus with Wisdom Form. Master Form is the most recommended form though, as all of the abilities Master Form has equipped will help Sora defeat Cerberus. Final Form is the best option (if available). Every single movement is an attack in itself, and this should buy time to keep on mashing {{Button|x}}. Do not compromise unless one has managed to take all the lesser enemies out within seconds. | The Cerberus and Cerberus Paradox Cups are timed battles, so one should be wary of the time constraint.

Using attack commands is not recommended as they deal insignificant amount of damage to Cerberus, so use normal attack combos. If having difficulty, Regen License is particularly useful, and Auto-Life License can be given to Data-Sora to make sure the battle doesn't end soon due to Data-Sora's defeat. | Using attack commands is not recommended as they deal insignificant amount of damage to Cerberus, so use normal attack combos.
