[[Aqua]] travels to [[Radiant Garden]] in search of Terra only to be faced with the possessed version of her old friend last faced in Terra's scenario at the [[Keyblade Graveyard]]. Terra-Xehanort will use a moveset very similar to that battle, but since Aqua's fighting style is different than Terra's, a slightly different strategy should be followed. Aqua has access to both D-Links and Command Styles, as well as Shotlocks. The player should make full use of these special abilities whenever possible. | [[Aqua]] travels to [[Radiant Garden]] in search of Terra only to be faced with the possessed version of her old friend last faced in Terra's scenario at the [[Keyblade Graveyard]].

It is recommended that the player Cartwheel away from the boss and use the Mine Square ability. Terra-Xehanort will most likely Sonic Impact in the player's direction surrounded in darkness as he did in his battle with the Lingering Will, but he will be damaged by the mines, his attack interrupted and opening him to more damage. However just like before, there is a chance he'll most likely dash around any attack that would be landed on him in the open, with trap-based attacks being no exception if Terra-Xehanort happens to dash somewhere else towards a possible blind-spot. Because of this, commands like the aforementioned Mine Square should be used more to limit and control his movement instead of outright trying to damage him. | It is recommended that the player Cartwheel away from the boss and use the Mine Square ability.

For Level 1 challenges, it is recommended to use Peter Pan's Swordbill D-Link Finish command whenever Terra-Xehanort prepares to use Ars Solum or Dark Impulse, as he will be locked in his combo, becoming unable to use Sonic Impact or Guard Impact, to end the fight early. | ||
Once Terra-Xehanort is back on his feet, however, the player should follow a hit-and-run strategy, bombarding the boss with magic rather than physical attacks and either running or Cartwheeling away immediately afterwards. The player can also use Barrier to defend against Dark Volley, also using a Barrier and Counter Blast combo to prevent damage from most attacks and still deal damage. It is recommended to use Renewal Barrier as it can be a big help with restoring HP from successfully blocking attacks in case any Cure spell is unavailable and also make sure to pack at least two of them in your Command List to help make healing easier, preferably Cura or Curaga, but also be ready to move quickly after healing to avoid damage if possible if you are too close to Terra-Xehanort. Terra-Xehanort will summon rock pillars around him if the player is at close range, so use caution when attempting a combo that involves linking defense to a physical attack that only works at close range. As Terra-Xehanort's HP starts to dwindle, he will gain access to the Dark Impulse Command Style. He also may use Curaga to restore health, thus increasing the length of the battle. | Once Terra-Xehanort is back on his feet, however, the player should follow a hit-and-run strategy, bombarding the boss with magic rather than physical attacks and either running or Cartwheeling away immediately afterwards.
