Strategy


At the start of this battle, Lock-On to the Heartless Boss and slowly approach it. Do not let its size intimidate you. Prepare to dodge an attack, as it sinks into the ground right off the bat, unleashing a shockwave with a wide range as it resurfaces. As the Heartless proceeds to slowly pace in front of you, begin your attack. Use caution, as it may slash with its claws. These two attacks are the only ones in this Boss' arsenal, the tactics used repeatedly throughout the battle.

The Nextshadow is highly vulnerable to magic, particularly the Thunder Spell. You shouldn't have to worry about your HP in this battle, as Luxord will heal you in times of need. If your HP does hit the "Alarm Zone," do not hesitate to make use of your Limit Break. Follow this strategy, and the Nextshadow should fall in defeat rather quickly.

Trivia


. The Nextshadow, like other Heartless Bosses featured in 358/2 Days, can be fought multiple times. It should not be a challenge so long as the strategy used by the player from the first fight is repeated.
