-At the start of the battle, immediately Lock-On to the Heartless Boss. Roxas must chase it around while airborne, so attack whenever possible. The best time to strike is as the Ruler is turning. Equipping a leveled-up Glide ability and a good midair weapon will make it easier to keep up and land hits. Be careful not to end up behind the Ruler of the Sky, as it will cause pillars of ice to shoot up in its wake, and it will release homing balls of energy from the end of its tail. The energy spheres may drain Roxas's HP on impact.
-After sustaining about half a bar of damage, a segment of the Ruler of the Sky's tail will break. At this point, the Ruler of the Sky will enter a berserk state and glow with a pink aura. It will also release a burst of energy as it begins its berserk attack. The Ruler of the Sky will begin swooping back and forth 3, 5 or 7 times depending on how many tail segments have been destroyed in an attempt to hit Roxas. Occasionally it will release a homing ball of energy when it begins its rush. If Roxas flies too close to the water, it will drop homing energy balls in rapid succession. Try to dodge downwards and to the side to avoid its rush without going too low. If Roxas does go low, use the terrain to avoid the energy spheres.
+The Ruler of the Sky is an airborne moving target. For this battle, equip a leveled-up Glide ability, a good midair weapon, and Fire magic.
-After rushing several times, the Ruler of the Sky will dive into the ocean unless you land fires during its charging phase. When this occurs, wait for it to resurface, and watch the mini-map. Try to keep out of its range, as the Ruler of the Sky will begin firing coins from its treasure chest-like mouth. Interestingly enough, if Roxas is hit by the boss's coin shot attack, he will collect the [[munny]] that hit him. Staying low will allow Roxas to avoid this attack. While it is firing, the Boss will move away from if Roxas tries to approach it, so try not to push it outside the area boundary. When it stops firing, it will be stationary for a short time, so start attacking at the tail. Soon the Boss will begin flying like before, so repeat the previous strategy until all tail segments are destroyed.
+At the start of the battle, Lock-On to the Ruler and follow it. It flies as quickly as Roxas does, so strike while the Ruler is turning. Dodge its Water Bullets and Icicles by not staying directly behind the Ruler.
-When the tail has been destroyed, the Ruler of the Sky enters a new berserk state. It will begin flying around the area, circling Roxas with iceberg towers and firing energy sphere after energy sphere. To best avoid its attacks, fly up and down repeatedly,  Alternatively, if Roxas stands in the hole dug by Smee, the energy spheres will hit the island. In addition, since the icebergs only appear in the water, this is a foolproof method to avoid damage.
+After the Ruler sustains about half a bar of damage, a segment of its tail breaks, triggering a berserk state. The Ruler of the Sky rushes back and forth 3, 5 or 7 times, depending on how many tail segments have been destroyed, and occasionally releases a homing ball of energy when it begins its rush. Dodge by flying downwards and to the side. Be cautious of flying too close to the water, which causes the Ruler to fire homing Water Bullets. If this happens, use the terrain to avoid the Water Bullets.
-After the berserk state ends, the Ruler of the Sky will stop circling and begin firing coins. During this assault, the Ruler of the Sky will stay stationary if approached, so come up underneath it and target its core. If Roxas ends up above its body, he can still inflict damage to the core. When it's done firing, the Ruler of the Sky will transform its wings into claws and start swiping at Roxas. Avoid this attack by flying directly away from it. The Ruler of the Sky pauses for a few seconds after it finishes this attack, giving an extra opportunity to deal damage. After that it will return to its second berserk state, so repeat the second part of the strategy until the Heartless falls.
+After rushing several times, the Ruler of the Sky dives into the ocean unless you land Fires during its charging phase. Wait for it to resurface, and watch the mini-map. Once the Ruler resurfaces, it executes Coin Machine Gun. (Interestingly enough, if Roxas is hit, he collect the [[munny]] that hit him.) Dodge low or to the side. The Ruler moves away from if Roxas tries to approach it, so try not to push it outside the area boundary. When it stops firing, use the opening before it resumes flying to attack the tail. Repeat the above until all tail segments are destroyed.
+When its tail is destroyed, the Ruler of the Sky enters a new, second berserk state. It begins flying around the area, circling Roxas with Icicles and Water Bullets. Fly up and down repeatedly to dodge,  Alternatively, stand in the hole dug by Smee, avoiding the Water Bullets and Icicles entirely.
+Once the berserk state ends, the Ruler of the Sky stops circling and executes Coin Machine Gun. This time, the Ruler of the Sky stays stationary if approached. Fly up to it from below and target its red core.
+After Coin Machine Gun, the Ruler of the Sky transforms its wings into claws and starts swiping at Roxas. Avoid this attack by flying away. The Ruler of the Sky pauses for a few seconds after it finishes this attack, giving an extra opportunity to deal damage. It then returns to its second berserk state. Repeat the second part of the strategy until the Heartless falls.
 Be sure to equip items and multiple casts of Fire magic. Make use of the Limit Break, and equip a weapon with powerful strikes, as the Ruler does not stay still long enough for combo-based weapons to be effective.
