[[File:Versus Xemnas KHII.png|right|thumb|Xemnas faces down Sora within the [[Memory's Contortion]].]]

When the battle begins, Xemnas will use his '''Invitation to Nothingness''' attack, which ensnares Sora in a field of energy that will slowly drain his health, then he teleports to the top of [[Memory Skyscraper]]. Sora must rush to the bottom of the building and use the [[Reaction Command]] "Facedown" to break the energy field and run up the building after Xemnas. Xemnas will leap down to confront Sora as he nears the top. At this point, one of three Reaction Commands appears depending on how close Sora is to Xemnas. The first is "Clash", where they pass each other harmlessly. The second is "Breakthrough", where Sora attacks Xemnas with a single attack. At the last second, the command changes to "Finish", where Sora attacks Xemnas several times and slams him into the side of the skyscraper. It's recommended to hit {{Button|t}} at "Finish". Note that '''not''' hitting Xemnas will cause him to deal damage to Sora.

After the sequence ends, Xemnas will begin his normal attack pattern, very akin to how he fights in ''Kingdom Hearts Final Mix'' but more limited in terms of moveset. He will teleport in an orb of darkness frequently, emerging to attack Sora rapidly with his Ethereal Blades, spinning, flipping and kicking to attack from all sides. These attacks can be blocked with [[Guard]], or more easily, [[Reflect]]. Xemnas will also project a barrier, blocking Sora's attacks and knocking him back. He can be stunned, so Sora can easily connect combos. However, Xemnas tends to teleport away afterward or if Sora attacks him too many times, he will teleport away in the middle of the combo when reaching his retaliation point.

When reduced to 35-10% HP, Xemnas will repeat the opening sequence involving Sora running up Memory Skyscraper. The Reaction Commands for the second time are the same as the first. As he gets weaker, Xemnas teleports more often and more quickly than before.

After destroying the main core of the Dragon Ship, Sora faces Xemnas in armor. Although he remains sitting on his throne, the Superior wields a massive sword, and can also channel the attacks of the game's fallen [[Organization XIII]] members.

 

When reduced to 70% HP, Xemnas summons five of [[Demyx]]'s Water Forms, which drop [[HP]] [[prizes]] on defeat as well as allowing Sora to use the '''Wild Dance''' Reaction Command. Xemnas can deploy the weapons of fallen Organization members as well, including those of [[Xigbar]], [[Xaldin]], [[Saïx]], [[Axel]], and [[Luxord]]. Watch for when these weapons appear near Sora to avoid getting caught off guard. Additionally, Luxord's [[Fair Game]] can appear to attack Sora if he passes over the image of a card on the floor.

 

When an attack causes Xemnas to flinch, he counters with '''Sweep Away''', then launches attacks with weapons deployed in various locations. He will also launch two simultaneous attacks with deployed weapons when reduced to 40% HP.

 

[[Drive Form]]s can be used for only this portion of the battle and greatly increase the rate at which Xemnas's HP is depleted. Should Sora fall, King Mickey may appear and give him a second chance.

After the fall of the massive Dragon Ship, it rejuvenates and teleports Sora and Riku to an alternate dimension. They fly to the head of the ship, where they find the stationary, armored Xemnas awaiting them yet again. He will attack with a long-range sword swipe as in the last battle, dealing a lot of damage on contact. When reduced to the HP thresholds of 80%, 50%, and 30%, Xemnas blows Sora and Riku far away and fortifies his defenses with a giant shield. The first and second time Xemnas uses this attack, the shields will automatically deactivate after two minutes.

 

Xemnas will bombard Sora with lasers and buildings, so use the Reaction Commands to get back to the ship. Failure to do so will result in Xemnas blowing Sora away and dealing minor damage. Once this is done, immediately and repetitively use [[Aerial Dodge]] in order to dodge Xemnas's next tactic, which allows him to summon snowflake-shaped energy that fires lasers and is unavoidable. Should this not be done, Sora can attempt Aerial Dodge again or merely allow damage and then fall to the point where he can safely [[glide]] back to the ship.

When Xemnas is reduced to 50% HP, these lasers will continue to fire as Sora grapples with Xemnas. Be aware that he may summon a damaging shield, just as he did in his previous battles. Regardless of his [[Drive Form]] levels, Sora has full access to each Form's [[ability]], allowing easier movement and dodging. Riku will also heal Sora with [[Cure Potion]] if his HP falls below critical.

In ''Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix'', Xemnas's '''Laser''' and '''Magic Circle Laser''' attacks have a wider hitbox.

This fight pits Sora and Riku in a [[Gummi Ship]]-style battle on a [[Sidecar Glider]] against a massive Dragon Ship, which is piloted by Xemnas. Only three commands are available on the menu: [[Attack]], Drain, and Shoot. Use [[Drain]] when enemy ships fire lasers at Sora and Riku, filling the Charge Gauge. If this gauge is filled, {{Button|t}} can be used to fire a powerful Reaction Command, "Mega-Laser". This attack will, if not completely, drain large portions of the ship's HP without fail.

 

During the fight, Bomb Bells, Speeders, and Spiked Rollers will appear to attack Sora and Riku. If a Bomb Bell remains undamaged for six seconds after spawning, it moves to where Sora was at that time and uses Explosion. If it approaches, move away to avoid its blast. If Bomb Bells appear near Sora, he can press {{Button|s}} to fire lasers to deal damage, but the Attack option offers higher accuracy. Speeders uses Shot while moving forward, fly off-screen, then do a U-turn to return. If you see it fire its lasers, be sure to absorb them with the Drain barrier. When a Spiked Roller appears, it hovers in place and uses Homing Laser, then flies away immediately afterward. Its Homing Laser is quick enough to hit Sora as the Drain barrier forms, so don't hesitate to set up Drain in advance. The shoot command should only be used against enemies that are out of range. All enemies that bombard the ship via Shoot deal massive damage.

Before the first wing can be destroyed, Xemnas will use Magic Circle Laser as well as Missile. Both tactics can be dodged via flying to each screen corner. Once this is done, the command process repeats itself yet again. Defeat both wings in order to clear the battle and progress.

[[File:Versus Xemnas (Final Form) KHII.png|thumb|right|Xemnas in his Final Form, about to fight Sora and Riku.]]

{{Q|Anger and Hate are supreme...|Xemnas to Sora and Riku}}

As his HP depletes, Xemnas will shoot energy balls that explode to both block and cause damage. When Xemnas's HP is reduced to 50%, he begins to teleport rapidly, encircling Sora and Riku with lasers continuously and in various configurations. He and his clone may then appear together or separately to shoot at Sora. These moves can be avoided via Reflega or [[Guard]] and if willing to be wasteful while possibly dealing damage, a [[Limit]]. Once these tactics are completed, Xemnas will trap Sora, slowly draining his HP. This forces the player to control Riku, who only can jump, cast [[Dark Aura]], and attack. While Xemnas drains Sora, his clone will attack Riku with energy balls, slashes, and even the damaging shield tactic. The clone can be annoying, but Dark Aura will stun him just a little. Use this time to run to the real Xemnas and Sora, using Dark Aura every three steps until close to the true Xemnas. Jump to him and execute the Reaction Command in order to free Sora, stunning Xemnas. This leaves Xemnas open to major damage. However, the attack can be completely avoided: when Xemnas says, "Can you spare a heart?", cast Reflect or initiate a Limit just as Xemnas casts his curse on Sora. If Sora is out of MP, a well-timed Dodge Roll can also evade this attack, though this is only recommended when out of MP as it requires very precise timing.

Xemnas will then repeat the throwing technique used at the battle's start, as well as his normal attack pattern. When reduced to 10% HP, Xemnas uses his '''Multi Shot''' attack; he fills the battlefield with lasers, shrouding the area in darkness. At this point, repeatedly mash {{button|x}} and {{button|t}} in order to keep Sora and Riku alive. Failure to do so will spell certain death. Once the area is cleared of lasers after 30 seconds, a brief cinematic is shown, eventually permanently stunning Xemnas and reducing his HP to 1. From there, simply perform a combo finisher, [[magic]], or a Limit to finish Xemnas off.

Riku will heal Sora when his HP is low. [[Item]]s still should be brought into battle, as it is best to be hit by Xemnas's drain attack with a full bar of HP. [[Ether]]s are also good for restoring much-needed MP. While Xemnas's final attack brings him to 1 HP, Sora can deplete his HP to 1 before the attack is executed as well. Riku cannot die in this battle, because he is needed for the entire battle. The only time that Riku can die is when Xemnas starts to drain Sora's HP. If Riku is defeated before he reaches Sora, it is a [[Game Over]].

For the first phase, simply use the same strategy used against the real Xemnas. However, there are four differences. The first three are simple: Xemnas has more health, doesn't use Invitation to Nothingness on Sora until reduced to 30% HP, and is left with 1 HP if Sora uses '''Finish''' during '''Facedown'''. The fourth is the addition of an enhanced Dual Blade attack when Xemnas gets close to half health, where the arena darkens and he follows Sora closely, thereby making it much more difficult to evade his attack.

 

For the second phase, use the same strategy used in the final battle against the real Xemnas. However, Xemnas's pattern is different. For instance, he now uses the Invitation to Nothingness multiple times. Sora should bring [[Elixir]]s and [[Hi-Potion]]s to the fight for healing. If Sora is in [[Limit Form]], Xemnas forgoes using Bind Attack and instead begins his attack sequence where he throws Sora into the air.

{{Q|As your flesh bears the sigil, so your name shall be known as that...of a recusant.|Xemnas to Sora}}

[[File:Versus Xemnas KH3D.png|right|thumb|Xemnas taunts Sora before engaging in combat.]]

At the start of the battle, Xemnas will use Building Throw at Sora while teleporting to the end of the arena, then follows by three more buildings. Perform carefully-timed [[Slide Roll]]s to avoid them and reach Xemnas quickly. If left alone during his normal phase, he will casually walk up to Sora like in prior games but will start to actively attack in response to Sora's offense.

Xemnas is incredibly swift and frequently travels around the battlefield either inside an impenetrable sphere of darkness or by teleporting from place to place, attempting to catch Sora from behind, and may also use it relentlessly in order to completely nullify his attacks. When Xemnas's reaction durability value reaches 0, he will flinch after every attack for 3.3 seconds. He fights with moves that are mainly seen in the final fight from the previous game, with the exception of the shields and the sphere teleports which are seen in the first fight. As soon as Xemnas reappears from the dark sphere, Lock-On to him and press {{button|dsy}} or {{button|square}} to guard against the ensuing Dual Blade or Flying Dual Blade, leaving him open to Sora's [[Counter Rush]]. Beware that Xemnas can still counter attack after a Counter Rush. The use of [[Sliding Sidewinder]] is also efficient at interrupting, staggering and repelling Xemnas. If he isn't using the sphere teleports and is instead idling, one can use [[Firaga Burst]] combined with either powerful Unison Attacks like [[Decussation]], or commands with extended combos like [[Ars Arcanum]], stunlocking Xemnas and dealing up to 3HP bars of damage, especially when buffed with [[Spirit Roar]]. As with all bosses, a deck of alternating [[Balloon]]- and [[Cure]]-type spells can also easily win the battle.

Xemnas's most lethal move surrounds Sora with Shots, where he should leap over them with [[High Jump]] and either use the [[Air Slide]]/Sonic Impact/Double Impact combo or perform Superglide. The position of the Shots circle and aiming will always match Sora's so it is advised to keep moving and land only when they're all gone. When Xemnas traps Sora in a cage of Spark Walls, simply [[High Jump]] over them and either Super Glide or repeat the Air Slide/Sonic Impact/Double Impact combo to avoid the ensuing barrage of Shots. One other trick is to climb the walls with [[Flowmotion]], jump while moving around to dodge the Shots and attack near Xemnas with [[Shock Dive]] to deal damage. In the case where he creates the four walls while near Sora, he can just Block the Shots and Counter Rush, interrupting and knocking Xemnas back. He may try to suddenly defend himself with a single Spark Wall from time to time to knock Sora back, but if possible he can either stay away from it to avoid getting interrupted or allow it to knock him backwards so that he can perform [[Payback Raid]], as the knock back deals only 1HP of damage.

After half of his HP has been depleted, Xemnas resets the battlefield, and uses Building Throw. From Sora's starting position, it isn't required to move at all in case Xemnas throws one or two buildings, but in the case three are thrown, it will require Sora to dodge roll forwards when the nearest buiding falls in front of him. After all three sets of Building Throw have been sent, Sora gets sent into a gliding phase of the attack where he cannot move but can still use the Attack command (contrary to how it is displayed), and on the white building directed at him, he can trigger the [[Nightmare's End]] [[Reality Shift]].

If Nightmare's End succeeds, the arena will shift to its original form, and include a few chunks of buildings with long Flowmotion rails on top of them, with a passive Xemnas at its end. The first hit will cause Xemnas to sigh and recover after some time will have passed, meaning that in the meantime, Sora should quickly unleash his most powerful commands until the Nobody does so. Once he has rallied, Xemnas warps the battlefield back to its original state, and will increase the frequency and ferocity of his attacks, while not staggering from damage anymore (he can still be interrupted by Blocks), making Sliding Sidewinder almost useless for its aforementioned purpose.  

If Nightmare's End isn't used, Sora will take damage, and whether it fails or isn't used, the battlefield will shift back to its original form, but the ferocity of Xemnas's attacks will remain normal until he eventually starts using Building Throw again. If Sora immediately kicks him with either Sonic Impact or Double Impact, he will repeat the Building Throw phase again. In the rare case Sora gets defeated during the gliding phase because of the building but gets resurrected by [[Auto-Life]], he will essentially get soft-locked until his Drop Gauge gets depleted, with Xemnas staying intangible and immobile.  

In any case, resume the Guard and [[Counter Rush]] and use the same combos as usual to finish Xemnas off.  

 

It is advised to bring two Curaga commands into battle to ensure maximum healing potential and cancel out the wait for command reload time should Sora's HP need replenishing. Also bring [[Spirits]] that have Curaga and the [[Haste]] Support Magic to not have problems with the reload time, while having ones that can cast [[Spirit Roar]] in order for Sora's damage to increase temporarily, and, combined with his best commands, allowing him to wipe out up to 3 or 4 of the enemy's HP bars. Use Flowmotion to Sora's advantage, and the battle should end with minimal difficulty. It is a necessity to enter this fight with a full [[Drop Gauge]] (after using one to two [[Drop-Me-Not]]s), especially at lower levels.

|He follows up with "Shot" fired at Sora after surrounding him with walls. The four walls can be arranged differently depending on Sora's movement.

He ends by throwing a final building that tilts the arena, then throws four regular buildings and finally a white building.

*At lower than half HP : all three throws are sent, and in a random order, then the final building is thrown, [[Nightmare's End]] can be used to destroy the white building.</div>

{{Atk-c|note=During the fight, Xemnas may move and hide in a dark orb repetitvely, nullifying Sora's attacks.}}

;Techniques used by all enemies

|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.

{{nihongo|'''Leader Cooperation'''|リーダー連携|Rīdā Renkei}} has one enemy designated as the leader. The non-leaders attack first, then the leader after them; the order depends 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.

Xemnas's data is not only much stronger and with more HP but has also acquired several new attacks, making him much more deadly. He retains his old Ethereal Blades slashing combo and helicopter attack as well as his energy kick, but has gained new melee attacks: he can perform a leaping kick with both legs, which can be enhanced with a burst of energy, and also a straight kick as well as also gaining more sword combos. Xemnas has also gained the ability to use his old barrier ability, which can be broken with a single attack but damages Sora if he is thrust into it, and Twilight Thorns that do not damage but cannot be blocked, can interrupt reprisals and will launch Sora into the air, allowing Xemnas to easily catch Sora off-guard.
