Another strategy for this fight is to go under the large root and summon Tinker Bell. She will continually heal Sora throughout this battle, reducing the need to use Cure/Cura or an item. Let Donald and Beast do most of the work and heal them when they are hurt (have Donald equipped with ability [[Second Chance]]). The only attack that the Dragon can hit Sora with when he is under the large root is the series of green fire, which does quite a bit of damage. To prevent this from hitting him, use Guard to deflect it or use Aero magic. Finally, after the other party members do all the hard work, come out of the hiding place and attack continually or strike the final blow. Fortunately, Sora can cast [[Stop]] to keep the dragon frozen for about a little more than a second so Sora can deal the final blow.

An alternative strategy is to keep Donald and Goofy in the team, equip Ars Arcanum on Sora. Give Second Wind to both Donald and Goofy and give Goofy [[MP Gift]]. As soon as the battle begins, summon Tinker Bell as she will heal Sora throughout the battle. Attack the Dragon's head with Ars Arcanum until Sora runs out of MP. When she starts breathing fire, run away and lock on to her then cast Fira. Do not worry about MP as Goofy will keep giving his to Sora. If Donald is Knocked Out, heal him as he is the main healer. When she summons the orbs of fire, hit them away as doing so will give tech points.

An additional strategy is to glide to her back leg and jump on her back, preferably in between her wings. From here continually use the Strike Raid ability to inflict damage. The party should consist of Goofy (equipped with MP Gift) and Beast. Fill their item slots with Ethers so that can rejuvenate the MP Strike Raid uses. Remove Sonic Blade so Sora doesn't accidentally use it on her head and fly into Maleficent's attacks.

Sora battles Maleficent again, but only in her Dragon form. She fights similarly to her battle in ''Kingdom Hearts'', but with more time in between attacks. Sora must jump to attack her head (her only weak point), when the [[Gimmick Card]] is used it creates a pile of bricks which allows him to reach her head more easily. This also keeps Sora from being injured from her stomping attack. However, each stomp destroys some of the bricks.
Dragon Maleficent is the boss of Hollow Bastion in both Sora's story and ''Reverse/Rebirth''. She fights similarly to her battle in ''Kingdom Hearts'', but with more time in between attacks. Sora and Riku must jump to attack her head (her only weak point), when the [[Gimmick Card]] is used it creates a pile of bricks which allows the protagonist to reach her head more easily. This also keeps the protagonist from being injured from her stomping attack. However, each stomp destroys some of the bricks.


In Reverse/Rebirth, Riku fights Maleficent as well. It is basically the same fight as with Sora, but it is easier since Riku fights her at the very beginning of the game.
The fight in ''Reverse/Rebirth'' is easier due to being the first boss of the campaign.

In ''Kingdom Hearts Re: Chain of Memories'', the battle has been relocated from the facsimile of the Castle Chapel to that of the arena of the battle from the first game. The pile of bricks of the Gimmick Card is replaced with a moving pedestal—Sora can move freely towards Maleficent's head while he is on it. Successfully breaking Maleficent's stomp attack keeps the pedestal aloft, allowing Sora to continue attacking her head. However, note that she is immune to some Sleights.
