While Counter Aura is crucial in this fight, it does little damage, so relying on it to finish the boss may be tedious. It is generally safe to unleash a short combo whenever the Nightmare emerges from the ground and does not immediately launch into another attack. It will quickly attempt to counter, in which case Dark Barrier may be utilized. It may be tempting to use multi-hit attacks like Dark Aura or Dark Splicer on it, however, this does not work as well as it did on Young Xehanort. The Nightmare can change tactics quickly, opening you up to damage and/or knocking you out of the attack early, effectively wasting the command. It will often use "dark aero" to accomplish this. | While Counter Aura is crucial in this fight, it does little damage, so relying on it to finish the boss may be tedious.

Should you fail, the Nightmare will trigger a purple energy attack that is near impossible to avoid and cannot be interrupted. Also, your commands will still be altered, leaving no way to heal Riku. Should you succeed, the Nightmare will be stunned, and the Finish command will destroy it for good. This command cannot miss, so perform it as quickly as possible, otherwise the Nightmare will regain consciousness, and you'll be forced to repeat this sequence with diminished HP. | Should you fail, the Nightmare will trigger a purple energy attack that is near impossible to avoid and cannot be interrupted.
