 ==Strategy==
-The Shadow Stalker shares the same ability as the Possessor Heartless: it can possess and animate any inanimate object. When in desperate need, it cocoons itself and transforms into the ferocious Dark Thorn. As the Dark Thorn, it is more agile and erratic, attacking enemies with its claws and sometimes using the chandelier to hit opponents. It can also summon Possessors to attack Sora and can turn invisible to elude foes, an ability shared with the [[Stealth Sneak]].

-===Shadow Stalker===
+The Shadow Stalker shares the same ability as the Possessor Heartless: it can possess and animate any inanimate object. When in desperate need, it cocoons itself and transforms into the ferocious Dark Thorn. If it possesses the pillars, stay towards the center of the room to dodge its initial attack before closing in on the pillar it inhabits. If it possesses the windows, run far away from them, preferably behind the pillars. If it possesses the floor, jump immediately after the area below Sora glows. When the Shadow Stalker possesses the chandelier, jump to avoid the shockwave it causes, and take care to run in a tight arc to avoid the energy beams it will fire. Once Sora has depleted the HP of the chandelier or pillars, the "Release" [[reaction command]] will appear. The Shadow Stalker will fly out of the object it was possessing, releasing Drive and MP Orbs. Take this opportunity to bombard the enemy with attacks. Sora can unleash a [[Limit]] at this time if he can survive [[MP Charge]] or has an [[Ether]] handy. This process will continue until victory is obtained.
-The Shadow Stalker will possess the various parts of the ballroom during the encounter to attack the party:
-*'''Windows:''' The Shadow Stalker flies into the windows, and causes a giant flash to pass over the floor. Retreat behind the pillars to avoid this.
-*'''Floor:''' When the Shadow Stalker disappears into the floor, it will attempt to devour Sora from beneath. Jump sideways when the floor underneath him glows to avoid the attack.
-*'''Chandelier:''' The enemy Heartless will fly up in the air, and bring the chandelier crashing down to the ground, triggering a shockwave. The chandelier will turn, firing energy beams. Attack the chandelier to release the Shadow Stalker. It has 59 HP.
-*'''Pillar:''' The Shadow Stalker will fly into the pillars, which it will cause to flail and thrash about. Attack them to release the Shadow Stalker. It has 39 HP.
-Once Sora has depleted the HP of the chandelier or pillars, the "Release" [[reaction command]] will appear. The Shadow Stalker will fly out of the object it was possessing, releasing Drive and MP Orbs. Take this opportunity to bombard the enemy with attacks. Sora can unleash a [[Limit]] at this time if he can survive [[MP Charge]] or has an [[Ether]] handy. This process will continue until victory is obtained.
+The battle with the Dark Thorn requires notably less strategy than the Shadow Stalker and is more of a straightforward assault. As the Dark Thorn, the Heartless is more agile and erratic, attacking enemies with its claws and sometimes using the chandelier to hit opponents. It can also summon Possessors to attack Sora and can turn invisible to elude foes. Note that it can still be targeted while invisible. However, the Dark Thorn is more agile when invisible and the fight becomes much easier when the invisibility is lost following the use of the "Stepvault" Reaction Command, during which Sora will jump onto the chandelier, and, following another command, lower the chandelier and swing it about in circles, hitting the Dark Thorn and rendering it visible. Following this assault, the battle becomes considerably easier, as the boss moves more slowly.

+Also note that it is possible to be saved by [[King Mickey]] in this pair of battles, which gives you some leeway if you fail initially.
-;Attacks
-*Claw Attack—Damage x1
-*Dark Servant ([[Darkness|Dark]] attack)—Damage x1
-*Swing Around—Swing Damage x0 / Throw Damage x1.5
-*Chandelier Attack—Fall Damage x1.5 / Spin Damage x2
-*Throws you at pillar—Unknown
-*Becomes Invisible
-This battle requires noticeably less strategy than the Shadow Stalker and is more of a straightforward assault.
-Despite the fact that it turns invisible, it is still able to be targeted. However, it is more agile when invisible and the fight becomes much easier when the invisibility is lost following the use of the "Stepvault" Reaction Command, during which Sora will jump onto the chandelier, and, following another command, lower the chandelier and swing it about in circles, hitting the Dark Thorn and rendering it visible. Following this somewhat-dramatic assault, the battle becomes considerably easier, as the boss moves more slowly. The Dark Thorn is also able to summon Possessors to attack Sora.
