==Strategies==

Before this fight, swap out Goofy for Beast, and have Sora's item slots filled with Megalixirs, Ethers and Mega-Potions. Have Aerora and Cura the shortcut menu, and equip the abilities Strike Raid and Ars Arcanum. Enter the portal Maleficent leaves behind.

It may be wise to summon Tinker Bell to restore HP periodically—this could be a great help as Tinker Bell can bring Sora back to life once if he is drained out of HP.

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 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.

The Fireglow Summon gem, which allows Sora to summon [[Mushu]], is the prize for victory.

===''Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories''===

At the start of the battle, Aqua should immediately Cartwheel over to the dragon's side, occasionally bombarding her with Thunder, Blizzard, and Fire magic. This will eventually activate the Spell Weaver Command Style, but Aqua will not have a need for its benefits. If Aqua is too far away from the dragon, the gap can be closed with Barrier Surge or a similar attack. The Dragon may perform a biting combo, but this can be easily avoided with Cartwheel. If Aqua is in the dragon's attack range, use Mine Square and immediately Cartwheel away. As the dragon will occasionally rear back and land to create twin, short-range shockwaves, she will take heavy damage as she lands on the mines while Aqua avoids taking damage completely.

An alternate strategy would be running behind the Dragon at the start of the battle. If Aqua is well equipped with magic, all she needs to do is continually attack using magic without moving from behind the dragon. Here, it is basically impossible to sustain damage. Although a slower strategy, the constant use of magic from the point of safety behind the dragon is an equally effective method to easily defeat the dragon.
