This fight pits Sora against [[Ansem, Seeker of Darkness]], who is possessing Riku. Before approaching him, restock [[Sora]]'s items and make sure that he is in top notch condition as he fights alone. It is strongly recommended to equip [[Guard]], [[Dodge Roll]], [[Glide]], and [[Counterattack]] abilities. Also, it is highly recommended that Sora beat the three cups at [[Olympus Coliseum]] and get the [[Olympia]] Keyblade. The [[Metal Chocobo]] can be useful as well. Riku's HP is made up of several bars. In his first HP bar, he'll attempt to toy with Sora, passing around him and executing his standard two-hit combo; just simply dodge and attack him. Whatever combo is used, try to refrain from executing the combo finisher (unless Sora has Blitz equipped); Riku has fast recovery and can unleash devastating counterattacks. If Sora has [[Ars Arcanum]] equipped, save it for later. Using magic causes Riku to counterattack with [[Dark Firaga]]. Occasionally, Riku will put up a blocking stance. Do not attack at this point- doing so will cause him to retaliate. However, using Ars Arcanum can break through and deal damage without flinching him. | This fight pits Sora against [[Ansem, Seeker of Darkness]], who is possessing Riku.

He uses this attack very often, mostly to break Sora's combos. During this time, try keeping Sora at a safe distance, but not too far or Riku will make a high leap and attempt to stab him with his Keyblade, creating shockwaves that move sideways from his position. Now will be a good time to use Ars Arcanum, but just use it a few times and try saving MP, because Sora will be needing it later. | ||
Eventually, Riku will cloak himself with darkness and a purple aura will surround him. During this period, his speed and agility increase and he gains two new attacks; one involves throwing his Keyblade at Sora, similar to [[Strike Raid]] (be careful when countering this attack, as if it hits Riku he will use Dark Firaga) and his infamous [[Dark Aura]]. Fortunately, his thrown Keyblade can be deflected either by guarding or striking with perfect timing; for each successful deflect, Riku will receive damage and be momentarily stunned. Seize this opportunity and attack relentlessly. | Eventually, Riku will cloak himself with darkness and a purple aura will surround him.
