Although his attacks are few, they are very upscale and dangerous to the health bar. The most powerful attack is when he looks as though he is bent over, apparently hurt, but then rises triumphantly, causing the volcano to erupt violently. This attack gets more powerful later in the battle. Another attack would be when he consistently breathes fire, either from left to right, or right to left. When he begins to lose health, he will use variants of [[Aero]] to knock the party far away from him, at which point he will send out beams of light similar to the ones Ansem casts from his World of Chaos form.

Also, using Aeroga can help a great deal, as it helps decrease the damage dealt.

He appeared in ''Fantasia'', summoning the undead and demons to dance for him on Bald Mountain during the night. He is considered to be the most powerful demon (believed to be Satan, himself) and was considered king of darkness. As he starts to fuel his powers in creating total chaos and destruction, the bells of morning shun him away as he waits for another night for the battle of Light and Darkness to take place.

* Chernabog is the only Disney villain with no explained reason for fighting Sora or aiding the Heartless in the series. It is possible that he is such a dark entity already, he independently chooses to aid the Heartless in plummeting the universe into darkness by his own choice. This immense darkness could also be the reason he is the only non-Heartless fought in End of the World, because there's no point to turn him into a Heartless. It is also entirely possible that he is unaware of the Heartless and their goal, and simply fights because his dark and evil nature makes him want to wipe out sources of good and light, such as Sora, who just happens to cross his path. Considering his location, however, it is possible he is simply a gatekeeper used by Ansem to bar Sora from the innermost reaches of the End of the World.

* For obvious reasons, Chernabog has unique boss music not heard anywhere else in the game: an arrangement of the classical piece ''Night on Bald Mountain'', originally by Modest Mussorgski (though the version heard here, like the one in ''Fantasia'', underwent various permutations to get where it is today). The track is not on the original ''Kingdom Hearts'' soundtrack, but was included in the Final Mix Additional Tracks CD and [[Kingdom Hearts Original Soundtrack Complete]]. The original Japanese version had '''Squirming Evil''' (which played during Disney Villain battles) played during this fight.

Template:Enemy Chernabog (meaning "Black God" in Slavic) is the demonic denizen of Bald Mountain, and appears as a boss at the End of the World in Kingdom Hearts. He originally appeared in Disney's Fantasia, in the segment set to "Night on Bald Mountain".

In the American version of Kingdom Hearts, the background music for the battle with Chernabog is an arrangement of "Night on Blad Mountain". The Japanese version of the game instead uses "Squirming Evil", the track used for most Disney Villain battles.

Strategy

In this battle, Sora and party can fly around the area, similar to the battle with the Phantom and the World of Chaos.

Although his attacks are few, they are very upscale and dangerous to the health bar. The most powerful attack is when he looks as though he is bent over, apparently hurt, but then rises triumphantly, causing the volcano to erupt violently. This attack gets more powerful later in the battle. Another attack would be when he consistently breathes fire, either from left to right, or right to left. When he begins to lose health, he will use variants of Aero to knock the party far away from him, at which point he will send out beams of light similar to the ones Ansem casts from his World of Chaos form.

A good way to avoid the first one is to quickly fly away, and press Triangle to signal to Donald and Goofy to follow Sora, so that they will not perish either. The second can be avoided by simply flying behind his head, and merely waiting for him to stop breathing fire. Also, now would be a good time to attack from the back of his skull. The third cannot be avoided, but the fourth can be difficultly maneuvered past.

As Chernabog is fought while in flight, summons are not available to the party, which can be a serious hindrance. However Sora can get around this by landing on his shoulder or the summit of the mountain. Summoning Tinker Bell can be a tide turning advantage. Also, using Aeroga can help a great deal, as it helps decrease the damage dealt.
