Vanitas Remnant: Difference between revisions

The '''Vanitas Remnant'''<!--incorrectly named as "Vanitas's Lingering Spirit" in the Bradygames guide--> makes its first and only appearance as a secret, optional boss in ''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep''. After the player clears the Final Episode, a crest similar to an [[Absent Silhouette]] portal will appear in the Badlands area of the [[Keyblade Graveyard]]. Simply approach the portal and select the "That's a danger I'm willing to face" option to initiate the battle. Defeating the Vanitas Remnant earns the player a Secret Gem in the Japanese version of ''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep'', and the [[Void Gear]] in the North American, PAL, and ''[[Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep Final Mix|Final Mix]]'' versions. The Vanitas Remnant also must be challenged if the player wishes to challenge the even more powerful [[Unknown (Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep)|Unknown]]. However, the player can simply unlock, and not defeat the Vanitas Remnant, and still be able to challenge the Unknown.

Terra, Ventus, or Aqua returns to the Badlands to find a mysterious sphere of dark energy hovering in the air in front of a large pillar of rock that was not present during their last visit to the area. They ignore the dark power felt emanating from the crest, accepting the challenge it presents. The Vanitas Remnant then takes shape behind them from a sphere of dark energy, much like the true Vanitas did during his creation, drawing its Void Gear [[Keyblade]] and attacking. After the Remnant's defeat, it transforms back into the dark energy sphere from which it originally spawned and vanishes.
