Game:Hector Barbossa

In Battle
Barbossa in battle can be a little tricky when he has the Illuminator to help him. Barbossa is invincible when he is in shadows but when he isn't it's wise to use magic. Barbossa has a lot of moves that he uses against Sora.


 * Rushing Cut: Rushing double cut.
 * Chasing Cut: His blows force you to stumble, follows with two cuts.
 * Combo Attack: Three cuts, four thrusts, then two more cuts.
 * Explosion: Tosses four bombs.
 * Gunshot: Pistol-shot at Sora.

Note: Jack's HP must not reach zero in this battle or the game will be over.

Strategy
Warning The game will end immediately if 'Jack' perishes, which is why it is imperative that you activate his abilities- No mercy, Rain storm, Bone smash and the limit Treasure isle before the battle begins.

Barbossa is assisted by a special heartless called the Illuminator. It creates darkness in the room, and must be eliminated first so you can damage the cursed Barbossa. Look out for a pair of glowing eyes in the gloom, then run towards them and finish the heartless off. Now turn your attention to Barbossa. After a while a new Illuminator will appear and, once again, you must dispatch it before you can continue  with the main fight.

As with the other cursed  pirates, Barbossa  can only be defeated in the moonlight, and can also be frozen  for a few moments using Blizzard. The best strategy is to freeze him- if this doesn’t work, it could be because he is standing  in the shadow- then use one of two combos to attack him. Take a few steps back, as soon as he thaws, refreeze him immediately. Repeat this strategy until Sora’s Mp is depleted, by which time another Illuminator is bound to have appeared.

After this activate the Wisdom Form. It may be less powerful than the Valor Form, but it enables you to attack from a distance and to quickly dodge your opponent’s attacks. As activating the Drive Form restores Sora’s Hp and Mp, you can start using Blizzard again afterwards.

Make no mistake, Barbossa can be extremely dangerous. If you get too near he’ll decimate you with a sword combo, so close quarters combat is not particularly good idea. At medium range he’ll throw a few bombs on the ground ; at longer range he’ll often shoot his pistol, which is relatively harmless. He may also dash towards you and lash out with his sword, which is anything but harmless. Ideally, don’t give him the slightest opportunity to deploy these dangerous moves. After the victory you will receive the Follow the wind keyblade.
