As Xehanort's HP dwindles, he goes even further on the offensive. He will often start one of his long-duration techniques, then continue to attack with different techniques while the first one is playing out. Xehanort will also clone himself, creating four copies that can attack and move independently of the true Xehanort. However, the clones can dissipate after being hit once, so try to use a multi-hitting attack to clear the clones. His most frustrating tactic is to snare the protagonist with his Collision Magnet, then immediately following it up with another attack and a game over (although there are very rare occasions in which the protagonist can escape before Xehanort strings together another attack). Collision Magnet can be avoided easily by simply dashing towards Xehanort when he jumps in the air, and also seems to be canceled if Xehanort pulls the protagonist up against a wall.

After half of his heath is gone, Young Xehanort will begin to turn invisible. While he cannot be locked on, he does leave a faint shimmer and can be "visible" through his Ethereal Blades, so he can still take damage. He still uses his old abilities, but since he is invisible, it is harder to see when he uses them. However, he also gains new abilities, such as firing a beam that inflicts Doom and forces mashing {{button|X}} to escape, and casting Mega Flare and Meteor to inflict massive damage. If the player uses a D-Link during the battle, Young Xehanort will turn invisible immediately, even if he has not reached half health.

In ''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep Final Mix'', the difficulty of the boss fight is slightly toned down. The protagonist can now escape after being ensnared by the Collision Magnet attack by Air Sliding before the second attack, therefore avoiding the lethal combos that were inescapable in the original version. In addition, Thunder Surge is even more useful, as it can easily lead into the powerful [[Rhythm Mixer]] Command Style.

To provide for defense, Riku should equip [[Dark Barrier]], [[Dark Roll]], [[Counter Aura]], [[Leaf Bracer]], [[Second Chance]], [[Once More]], and [[Slow Block]]. His Command Deck should include homing attacks like [[Balloonga]], [[Firaga Burst]] and [[Dark Firaga]], as well as powerful attacks like [[Dark Aura]], [[Dark Splicer]], [[Meteor Crash]] and [[Shadowbreaker]], and healing commands like [[Curaga]]. Also, make sure to have two Spirits that have healing commands, that can cast Support Magic like Haste, Spirit Roar at the same time as well.

Also, make sure to have two Spirits that have healing commands, that can cast Support Magic like Haste, Spirit Roar at the same time as well.


Young Xehanort is an aggressive fighter and it can be difficult to score hits on him as he can trap Riku in a flurry of combo attacks that rapidly drain his health. Dark Barrier followed by Counter Aura is an effective way of damaging him, although keep in mind that some of his attacks are not easy to block and should be evaded using Dark Roll or Shadow Slide. In Critical Mode, Xehanort can run to Riku (or not) and perform a more violent and fast combo followed by an aerial combo, which can rapidly put Riku to 1 HP and Game Over if not blocked or evaded in time. If Riku gets caught in these combos, the player shouldn't move the joystick until it ends in order for Second Chance and Once More to save him, as moving in the air cancels the enemy's combo and Xehanort purposely delays his combos to avoid these abilities, but not long enough for Riku to recover. Young Xehanort will not flinch when performing Wild Arcanum, Finish, Whip Wave, or Teleport Rock, even if his reaction durability value reaches 0. However, when not using any of these attacks, if his reaction durability value reaches 0, he will flinch after every attack for 6.7 seconds.

Xehanort tends to warp away from projectiles and attack commands, but will be open to attack when he pauses to launch his own ranged attacks. Xehanort will periodically teleport away and fire dark projectiles at Riku. Defend using Dark Barrier, staying near to or far away from him, or dodge continually. If the projectiles connect, they will inflict Slow, so quickly cure it with Esuna (Riku's spirits can have this command too) or a Panacea if Slow Block is not equipped. He can also summon blue rocks that must be blocked or dodged. When Xehanort prepares this attack, move close to him, blocking the rocks, and use Counter Aura in front of him. Make sure to watch how he warps around the arena, because it will signal which attack he will use, and will provide Riku enough time to use powerful attacks such as Dark Aura. If timed carefully, Dark Aura will keep hitting Xehanort and stops his movements for a while, dealing heavy damage.

Alternatively, continue using Firaga Burst, Balloonga, and other attack magic in conjunction with spirit attacks. Keep also in mind the Haste Support Magic after being cast on Riku can be handy, not only to speed up the reloading times but also his main combos, which can stagger Young Xehanort as well. After Xehanort takes enough hits, he will transform his Keyblade into a shield and if Riku hits it, Xehanort will counterattack. If he teleports up and falls, he will whip Riku multiple times. Get ready to block or to Shadow Slide when he reaches the ground. If Xehanort teleports constantly from right to left, he will prepare to charge at Riku. He will teleport like this twice; once he warps the fourth time, get ready to block or use Shadow Slide. If he is a fair distance away, he will start teleporting from side to side again, gradually getting closer to Riku. Get as close to Xehanort as possible when this occurs. After he teleports the third time in this manner, use Dark Barrier near him to block the lasers and use Counter Aura in front of him. If possible, utilize Shadow Slide and Shadow Strike to attack and stop Xehanort's attack.

If Xehanort teleports constantly from right to left, he will prepare a version of Wild Arcanum where he warps between each strike.

If possible, utilize Shadow Slide and Shadow Strike to attack and stop Xehanort's attack.


Once Xehanort's health has been depleted to 1, he will freeze time and warp into a giant Clock that appears in the center of the arena. Wait until the option to perform a [[Mirage Split]] [[Reality Shift]] appears. This will trigger the final stage of the battle. Note that the symbol for activating the Reality Shift will appear for less than one second. If Riku misses the timing, Xehanort will rewind time to the beginning of the fight and regain some of his health (approximately two and a half life bars). His health must be depleted again in order to perform Mirage Split, but this time, the symbol for activating Reality Shift will remain for a longer period of time.
Once Xehanort's health has been depleted to 1, he will freeze time and warp into a giant Clock that appears in the center of the arena. Wait until the option to perform a [[Mirage Split]] [[Reality Shift]] appears. This will trigger the final stage of the battle. The Reality Shift prompt will appear within a split second. If Riku misses the timing, Xehanort will rewind time to the beginning of the fight and heal his HP, with his max HP cut at 30% (approximately two and a half life bars). His health must be depleted again in order to perform Mirage Split, but this time, the prompt will remain for a longer period of time.


For the final stage of the fight, Xehanort remains inside the Clock, which is now vulnerable to attack. Though he does not attack Riku directly, he creates half-invincible clones of himself to defend the Clock. The clones will attempt to swarm Riku with ethereal blade combos, X-slashes, and fiery tornadoes, but may occasionally disappear if attacked. It is safer to evade these attacks than to block them, as blocking those attacks will lock-out the clock, due to the fact they came from the clones and not the Clock itself. While the Clock is open to attack while the clones are not on the field, as this phase is more time based than the previous one, Riku should have Spirit Roar and Haste cast on him by his spirits so that he can inflict more damage while not being restricted to waiting for his commands to reload, for the reason that if the hands on the Clock strike 12 before Riku destroys it, it will rewind time to the start of this phase and regain his lost health of the previous phase. As Xehanort will stop his attacks before it rewinds time, Riku should at that time unleash his most powerful commands as fast as possible if the Clock is close to be defeated; however, after Xehanort rewinds time once, the total health of the Clock will decrease to the same amount as Xehanort's first phase's, and thus, for the next times this phase will restart, making it easier to destroy the Clock on the next try. Multi-hit warping attacks such as Dark Splicer and Dark Aura can bypass Xehanort's clones and remove multiple health bars off the clock, even finishing it off if at low health. Do this with caution, however, as Riku can be attacked and deflected by incoming clones, especially those which use combos and fiery tornadoes, which can knock him away during Dark Aura.

Due to the relentless assault of the clones, leaving few to no windows of opportunity to attack, a reliable strategy is to activate commands like Firaga Burst while in midair. Releasing the commands at the apex of Riku's [[Doubleflight]] will allow Riku to avoid interruption from most of the clones' attacks, with the exception of the X-slashes.

Releasing the commands at the apex of Riku's [[Doubleflight]] will allow Riku to avoid interruption from the clones' attacks, but be mindful of the X Blade attack which can still hit him no matter where he is, but do not make him stagger during a Firaga Burst.  


If Riku is supposedly not strong enough to destroy the clock in time, he can, while dodging the attacks, restrain from attacking and wait until the Clock rewinds time, where next time it will have less health, to have a chance to finish it in time. If he ever gets revived thanks to [[Auto-Life]], the ticking sounds from the clock will stop until either the rewind or the end of the fight.

[[File:Versus Ansem, Xemnas, and Young Xehanort KHIII.png|thumb|right|Young Xehanort, Ansem, and Xemnas, battling against Sora, Riku, and King Mickey.]]
Young Xehanort is fought alongside Ansem and Xemnas by Sora, Riku and [[King Mickey]] as the final boss fights of the Keyblade Graveyard. Although his health is less than that of the other two top-tier members of the Real Organization XIII, he is still not to be underestimated. Young Xehanort is able to turn his Keyblade into a whip that has a long range and can also briefly ensnare Sora and is able to summon a small rift to launch a whip attack from. He can also summon a ring of 9 icicles that he launches at Sora which deals Blizzard damage and his deadliest attack has him summoning a circle of time that stops time as he unleashes invisible attacks at Sora. It's recommended to take him out first as he's the easiest to combo, if hit twice by his whip combos, it is possible to quickly block the third attack and use [[Risk Dodge]] to fight back. The whip combo can also hit you in the air. Each member will have a dark aura surrounding them whenever they disappear and reappear to attack, which means they'll only target Sora and each of them will use a specific attack with the one with the aura appearing last. For Young Xehanort, Ansem and Xemnas will create dark mines and ethereal blades followed by Xehanort's time-stopping attack. Jump and block the ethereal blades and use [[thunder]] to destroy the mines to avoid damage. During Master Xehanort's storm of Keyblades, each member will use an attack in a specific order. For all three, Young Xehanort will use his time-stopping attack followed by Xemnas's rolling attack and Ansem's shockwave. The best way to avoid them is to jump over Xehanort's, block Xemnas's incoming attack and [[glide]] away from Ansem. If Xemnas is beaten, Xehanort will launch the icicles followed by Ansem's shockwave attack. Having Riku and Mickey active is wise as they can do double and triple damage when attacking together, if they're trying to attack your target, it's wise to stop your combos and let them land their own.

|Master Xehanort summons a storm of Keyblades that temporarily removes Riku and Mickey and surrounds the battlefield. Bundles of Keyblades will fly around Sora one-by-one (the last four bundles directly target him). Can be blocked from behind. Afterward, remaining enemies attack in succession; techniques used depend on those remaining.

When Leader Cooperation is used, one enemy is designated the "leader"; the leader is surrounded by an aura and targets Sora until the next use of Leader Cooperation. The initial leader is the one with the lowest maximum HP in terms of percentage, and they rotate between each other. When only one enemy remains, they automatically become the leader and use of Leader Cooperation is discontinued.

Young Xehanort's fight at the Keyblade Graveyard is nearly identical to the base game, although Sora does have access to the [[Faith Volley]] and [[True End]] [[Team Attack]]s.

Like with all the other data rematches, even though Young Xehanort's HP bar may be the least among them, he is still extremely powerful. Young Xehanort has a tendency to teleport often, create clone illusions, and throw feint swings, to confuse Sora before attacking. He will often formchange his Keyblade into a whip for a long reach, as well. He is also capable of freezing Sora with certain attacks, so it is recommended to equip [[Freeze Protection]] through equipment such as the [[Snowman Rosette]] armor or the [[Crystal Snow]] Keyblade. Only one of Young Xehanort's attacks is unblockable, so the first instinct for most of his attacks should be to block.
