Before confronting Young Xehanort, ensure that Riku's Command Deck contains Counter Aura and Dark Barrier. Several Cure commands are vital along with homing spells like Balloonga. Attack Commands such as Dark Splicer and Shadowbreaker are useful in dealing damage in the second half of the fight. Make sure Riku has unlocked Leaf Bracer, Second Chance, Once More and Slow Block, they can be lifesavers in this battle.

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 the most effective way of damaging him, although keep in mind that some of his attacks, such as when he fires a barrage of lasers or turns his Keyblade into a whip, are unblockable and should be evaded using Shadow Slide. Xehanort tends to warp away from projectiles and attack commands but it is possible to use them against him when he pauses to launch his own ranged attacks. Be extra cautious if he shoots dark projectiles at Riku, they inflict Slow so quickly cure it with Esuna or a Panacea if you don't have Slow Block equipped.

Once you have depleted Xehanort's health, he will freeze time and warp into the giant Clock that appears in the centre of the arena. Attack the Clock quickly until you can perform a Reality Shift that will trigger the final stage of the battle. If you are too slow, then Xehanort will rewind time to the beginning of the fight and regain some of his health. You will then need to wear him down again  
Once Xehanort's health has been depleted, he will freeze time and warp into the giant Clock that appears in the centre of the arena. Attack the Clock quickly until the option to perform a Reality Shift appears. This will trigger the final stage of the battle. If the player takes too long to activate the Reality Shift,then 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 will have to be depleted again in order to have another chance to perform the Reality Shift.
until he summons the Clock and then quickly activate Reality Shift.
 
In the final stage of the fight, Xehanort remains inside the Clock which is now vulnerable to attack. Whilst he doesn't attack Riku directly, he creates clones of himself to defend the Clock. These clones are invincible and will attempt to swarm Riku with continuous combos and projectile attacks, whilst it is possible to block these attacks, it is safer to use Shadow Slide to evade them. During the brief moments when no clones appear, attack the Clock with everything you have, as it is a stationary target, you can do a large amount of damage with Attack Commands such as Dark Splicer. Be warned though, if you take too long to destroy the Clock, Xehanort will rewind time to the start of the fight and you will need to deplete his health all over again.
