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, yet made its debut in Kingdom Hearts Final Mix.

Strategy
At the start of the battle, Lock-On to the Mega Shadow. Ignore its smaller brethren, as Xaldin will handle them whilst 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' only tactic.

All in all, this Boss Battle should not be that difficult, so long as the player utilizes their Limit Break and heals periodically. Keep attacks strong, and also consider using the Fire Spell. Keep this strategy in mind for any further encounters with the Mega Shadow in other worlds.

Worlds Fought

 * Beast's Castle
 * Twilight Town

Trivia
