Despite the presence of party members, Summons can't be used during this battle. For most of the battle, Xigbar rapidly teleports around the arena, firing combos of laser arrows at Sora. These arrows can be dodged, or reflected back at Xigbar with Guard for minor damage. After approximately three combos, Xigbar temporarily stops attacking to reload his Arrowguns. At this time, Sora can easily strike him with a combo. Xigbar hovers upside-down throughout the battle, so Sora must jump to reach him. To grant Sora maximum mobility in this fight, make use of abilities that grant aerial combos. Leveling up [[Master Form]] to acquire the [[Aerial Dodge]] ability not only allows Sora to deflect Xigbar's bullets back at him with proper timing, but also gives Sora more time to strike Xigbar with aerial combos.

Throughout the battle, Xigbar frequently shifts the shape of the arena. In one shift, Xigbar narrows the arena, firing at Sora rapidly from the opposite end. In the second, Xigbar converts the arena into a narrow box-shaped path, with a single platform extending into the middle of the arena, over which Xigbar hovers. In the third, Xigbar creates a box-shaped arena with an intersection of platforms meeting in the middle. Xigbar combos to bombards Sora with laser arrows; Sora must strike him with a finishing move to shift the arena back.

In the data rematch, Xigbar begins by transforming the stage. Xigbar no longer needs to reload his weapons, so the only way to approach him is to deflect his shots back at him using Guard or Reflect, which stuns him for a brief period. His shots now move much faster as well. When he leaves the area to snipe, he can now shoot rapid-fire at Sora before the "Warp Snipe" Reaction Command is available. His charged blue shot now takes almost no time to charge and becomes far too quick to reliably use the Reaction Command, so it is better to cast Reflect before it hits to dissipate it.

[[File:Versus Xigbar and Dark Riku KHIIIRM.png|thumb|right|Xigbar and Dark Riku about to fight against Sora and Riku within the Keyblade Graveyard.]]
Xigbar serves as one of the bosses of the Keyblade Graveyard, fought alongside Dark Riku against Sora and Riku. The battle against him is highly reminiscent of the boss fight in ''Kingdom Hearts II''. It is recommended to defeat Xigbar first as his long-ranged attacks make fighting Dark Riku difficult. Xigbar mainly hovers upside-down in midair, out of reach from Sora and Riku, and attacks by firing homing arrows from his guns and firing a spread shot of arrows after charging up energy. Any arrows that don't hit Sora will linger on the ground, acting as mines that will explode and damage Sora if he makes contact with him.

As with the rest of the real Organization, Xigbar's data is significantly harder and stronger. Aside from his attacks from the base game, he now has several more tricks up his sleeve.

Several of Xigbar's attacks can be done standing upright or standing upside-down in the air, but whichever he picks does not change the behavior of his attacks. Focus on the movements of his guns and shots, and try not to be thrown off if he's unexpectedly upside-down/upright.

Xigbar will start the battle by changing the arena to a donut-like shape, with a rift in the middle. Sora cannot Airstep across this rift, so approaching Xigbar will require moving around it instead. He will perform various moves, listed below. It is easiest to think of this move as having four sets.

* He will run to the side while firing, then repeat the purple glow feint but actually fire this time. This will place a set of pink mines that surround Sora. The mines will linger and, after a couple seconds, will move in Sora's direction. For a visual cue on when to block, watch the ticking gun, which will start at a 12:00 position, tick four times, and stop at a 5:00 position when he will fire. Wait a brief moment and block the mines when they continue, or jump into the air when the mines move to avoid them completely. He will follow up with another set of four slow shots and four fast direct shots. Guard just before the fast shots connect to block the mines, and this should block the entire barrage of shots. Xigbar will finish this set with another feint shot.

Xigbar will finish this set with another feint shot.
* Xigbar will spin his guns and then fire them together with a blue glow, creating a blue-and-black shot that bounces on the walls and floor of the stage (resembling a similar ricochet shot from ''Kingdom Hearts II''). This shot will always bounce three times before approaching Sora, and blocking it will deflect it, but repeat the three-bounce process. Once it has been blocked or dodged for the third time, or once it hits Xigbar himself, it will disappear. While the ricochet shot is bouncing around, Xigbar will fire some quick shots directly at Sora, then four slow shots overhead, before teleporting up close to Sora and side-flip while shooting. Xigbar will then perform a set of running shots upside-down, then stand still and be open to attack. Block the fast shots, wait until the side-flip shots to block the slow shots, and block the ricochet shot if it gets close, then Airstep to attack Xigbar after blocking the set of upside-down running shots.

* Xigbar will teleport far away and combine his guns into a bow, then fire a purple shot skyward (Sora will be knocked back when he shoots, but will not take damage). A cloud will appear and start to rain down purple arrows in an expanding circle, centered on Xigbar's initial position. Xigbar will perform three side-flips, firing a set of shots each time. He will then fire four slow shots overhead and create small portals near Sora, which he will put his hands through to fire four shots. Block the flip shots, then wait until the portal shots to block the slow shots. He will finish with a set of direct shots. The purple arrows will not have time to reach Sora, so don't worry about them. After this, the donut sequence will end - the stage will return to normal.

It is safest to play defensively during most of the donut phase, however it is possible to approach and attack Xigbar at the end of his second set. Block the first set, then dodge out of guard and start running as he does the running shots. Block these, dodge out of guard, run and wait a moment for his gun to glow purple, then Doubleflight to get above the mines. Glide toward Xigbar, block the four fast shots and four slow upward shots, then immediately Airstep as he prepares to fire the feint shot, and attack.

* It is possible to attack Xigbar earlier in this sequence, right after he does his four slow shots upward. However, the bullets will still be heading towards Sora, so this will require weaving guards and reprisals into the combo when the bullets approach.


When Xigbar teleports to the edge of the stage, spins his guns, and then fires them together with a blue glow, he will be using his ricochet shot again. He will follow with a side flip and shoot, summon small portals and shoot three sets of shots, then run sideways upside-down with additional shots, and finally finish with some shots while standing still. There are three ways to handle this:
