Game:Lexaeus

Lexaeus appears as a boss in Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories, Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories, and Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix.

Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories
Lexaeus's moves consist of him hitting the ground and causing earthquakes and Sleights. Try to dodge his sleight, which can hit you multiple times. Riku should first focus on card breaking his cards to turn into Dark Mode and use his sleights to deal heavy damage. Use MM Miracles or an Oogie Boogie card if low on HP. Use sleights while he is charging the reload card so he can't card break Riku, unless he is low on DP, then just use as many sleights as possible.

In Re:Chain of Memories, most of Lexaeus's attacks are similar. He repeatedly strikes the ground and jagged rocks shoot up, attempting to impale Riku. A new attack is when the earth-using fiend starts to glow yellow. His strength and speed are temporarily increased, he can do this twice.

His first card is usually an eight, as is Riku's, so he has an immediate opportunity for a card duel. Use all the card duel opportunities as possible, as they do a lot of damage (1 and a half bars). Focus on breaking his cards and then go in for the combos, because he will smash Riku with his axe sword if he get too close. After the first Card-Break or combo, Lexaeus will use his Enemy Card, so one can use Parasite Cage to negate the effect. If one wants to focus on attacking him, Riku will have to side step every time Lexaeus attacks, or he will stun Riku if caught. Use Dodge Roll to pick up Mickey cards. Use the Enemy Cards Maleficent (to power up cards) and Oogie Boogie (if low on HP). Another option is to wait for his attacks and try to card duel him; after the card duel, recharge the deck and repeat.

Absent Silhouette
Lexaeus has a "Power Level" at the top of the screen, which will increase as the battle rages on. The higher the number, the more damage he will deal. Also, some of his attack properties change. For example, the attack while he drags his weapon to hit Sora will gain more range the higher the power level. His max number is 99999. At this level, try and avoid being hit at all costs.

When the battle begins, he will raise his "Power Level" to 10100 immediately. He uses a few moves: first, he will jump up towards Sora with his weapon above his head and when he summons his rocks, it's impossible to avoid except by guarding. Lexaeus will also throw his Skysplitter up, and a large stock of rocks will appear and damage Sora. He does this three times. The third time, it will come a little later, so be prepared. He will also drag his weapon on the ground and hit Sora. Get close to him and guard when he does that, then a Reaction Command appears. This will give both his power level plus Sora's for an instant and Sora can then deal damage and stun him. His most dangerous attack is when he flies into the background and after a few seconds, dives straight at Sora, causing rocks to fly up all over the arena.
