A strong physical defense build is essential when preparing to fight the Chimera, along with the highest-strength Keyblade on hand. The Chimera has tactics to explode and cause wide-area damage, and can create four new enemies ([[Gargoyle]]s). Having party members cast support spells such as [[Aero]] and [[Cure]] can be useful. [[Thunder]] and [[Blizzard]] are also handy for offense. | A strong physical defense build is essential when preparing to fight the Chimera, along with the highest-strength Keyblade on hand.

Depleting the second HP bar ends the fight, but its defences are extremely high at this stage; the trick is to repeatedly strike the coloured heads that bounce around, knocking them back at the main body and dealing much higher damage than regular attacks are capable of. If the second HP bar hasn't been depleted after a set time, the heads will fly back into the jar and Sora must take out the first HP bar again. | ||
A good strategy is to take out the surrounding [[Gargoyle]]s first; casting Gravira or Graviga on Chimera just as it is summoning them will hit both the Chimera all four of its minions, knocking off most of their HP right off the bat. A single Thunder spell should finish them off; alternatively, leave them for your allies to take care of and focus on Chimera at this point. | A good strategy is to take out the surrounding [[Gargoyle]]s first; casting Gravira or Graviga on Chimera just as it is summoning them will hit both the Chimera all four of its minions, knocking off most of their HP right off the bat.

The Chimera has attacks that can | The Chimera has attacks that can knockback Sora and the party so maintain safe distance where possible. The main threat lies in its high damage and wide-area attacks, thus optimised defence and high-strength party-wide healing are a strong asset for the fight. Its attacks are, however, fairly easy to dodge. Stay in the air and hit it with aerial combos to avoid its shockwave attack, and dodge roll out of the way of its flying corkscrew strike, to keep damage to a minimum. It tends to corkscrew when low on health in its first HP bar, so knocking its health down to zero with a rapid flurry of attacks is also a solid option. | ||
To increase the number of Blazing Stones the Chimera drops, reflect the heads it releases nine times, and it will drop one for free. This is easiest to perform successfully when the Chimera is atop the rock; it will always jump there to summon its Gargoyle minions. Cast Aeroga for best effect in deflecting the bouncing heads more easily. | To increase the number of Blazing Stones the Chimera drops, reflect the heads it releases nine times, and it will drop one for free.
