The Phantom is much like a moving and attacking version of [[Ursula (Boss)|Ursula]]'s cauldron. Before this battle, ensure Goofy is in your party with the MP Gift ability equipped. Equip Sora with MP boosting equipment, and plenty of [[Ether|Ethers]] and [[Elixir|Elixirs]] to ensure a plentiful MP supply. All party members should also have the abilities [[MP Rage]] and [[MP Haste]] equipped to increase MP gain.

The Phantom will only sustain damage when the glowing orb beneath it is visible. Even then, you will only be able to damage it in a specific way, determined by the color of the orb:

Occasionally, the Phantom will fire an energy ball at Sora. If hit by this, he will sustain damage up to five times. This can be avoided by flying around to Clock Tower, with Aero(ra/ga) or by hitting the energy ball, which will vanish if done so. Phantom can also perform a short-range, high damage slashing combo with his claws, though this is not as dangerous as his other attacks.

For the whole battle, the Phantom will use an attack with a similar effect as Doom from [[finalfantasy:Final Fantasy (Series)|the Final Fantasy video game series]], however, if the counter (starting at 12), reaches 0, the character chosen cannot be revived for the remainder of that battle. Whenever the hands of the clock tower move forward five minutes, the number will drop by one. The effect can be postponed by casting [[Stop]] on the clock that counts down along with the numbers floating over the head of the character inflicted with "Doom", but for one minute ''real time''. Peter Pan is always the first victim. As the curse cannot be lifted, Sora's allies will be eliminated from the battle, one by one, ending finally with Sora.

This one of the games hardest battles, but if you get in trouble just fly into Big Ben (The giant clock tower) and come to the ground and heal, as you are usually safe here. This also prevents the Phantom's ball of energy.
