Mega-Shadow



The Mega Shadow is a Heartless Boss that made its debut appearance in Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days. A larger version of the standard Shadow, it is very similar to the Gigant Shadow that also appears in this game. The Mega Shadow is fought on Days 13, 96, 119, 150, 175, and 298.

Strategy
At the start of the battle, Lock-On to the Mega Shadow. Ignore its smaller brethren, as Xaldin will handle them while you attack the Boss. The Heartless will sink into the floor, rendering attacks useless. Once it resurfaces, start hammering the beast with the Keyblade. Use caution, as the Mega Shadow may attempt to knock the player back with a slash attack. This is this Heartless Boss's only tactic.

All in all, this Boss Battle should be fairly simple, so long as the player utilizes Magic and doesn't keep too close. Use the Limit Break to finish the battle. Keep this strategy in mind for any further encounters with the Mega Shadow in Beast's Castle or Twilight Town.

Worlds Fought

Trivia

 * Despite the fact that it is a Boss, the Mega Shadow is fought multiple times over the course of Roxas's storyline.
 * It should be noted that the Mega Shadow is one of the many "Pre-Bosses" that are battled before a main Boss. The Mega Shadow is fought before the battles with the Dark Follower and the Avalanche.
 * In the first encounter with the Mega Shadow, the battle music is "Tension Rising." In other appearances in Twilight Town, the battle theme is the normal "Sinister Sundowns".
