The Dark Hide is a fast, fierce, and unpredictable opponent. In the first phase of the battle, the Heartless attacks from within the darkness, visible only by its glowing red eyes. It will attempt to charge at Aqua, and when it does the battle shifts to its point of view, making it hard to dodge. It also attacks with claw swipes and tail spins. The best way to deal damage to the Dark Hide in this phase is to wait until just after the scene where it looks at Aqua through its point of view, then quickly use Barrier to block the attack and use Aqua's counterattack to deal damage. The Dark Hide will then stand idly for a few seconds before returning to the shadows, so be sure to get as many Keyblade strikes in as possible. | The Dark Hide is a fast, fierce, and unpredictable opponent.

If Teleport is equipped, Aqua will sometimes teleport behind the Dark Hide instead of blocking its attack with Barrier. | If Teleport is equipped, Aqua will sometimes teleport behind the Dark Hide instead of blocking its attack with Barrier. This leaves the Heartless vulnerable as all of its attacks are focused on what's in front of it. After losing one and a half health bars, it will reveal its true form, starting the next phase of the fight. | ||
The second stage of the battle is the same as the first, with the exception of the new attacks in the boss's arsenal. Dark Hide still retains its claw swipes and spin attacks, but can now charge at Aqua, leaving a trail of flames in its wake. Also, the Dark Hide's movements become more erratic, making it hard to land hits. The Rhythm Mixer [[Command Style]] finisher deals great damage to the boss. After another round of combat, the Heartless unveils the rest of its attacks. | The second stage of the battle is the same as the first, with the exception of the new attacks in the boss's arsenal.

In the final | In the final stage of the fight, the Dark Hide now uses red, blue, and green afterimages of itself for offensive and defensive purposes. It may spin around Aqua, its afterimages charging at her while it slams the ground, creating a shockwave. Dark Hide can also shoot dark energy orbs that expand after a few seconds, damaging Aqua if she steps to close. It also utilizes a variant of Mega Flare, wherein it shoots a large fireball at Aqua. Be sure to heal when necessary. | ||
