Vanitas first fights Ventus in a two-part boss battle after luring him to the Keyblade Graveyard. The first will end only once enough HP has been depleted from Vanitas, the second beginning soon afterwards. However, in the second part of the battle, the player has the assistance of [[Mickey Mouse|King Mickey]]. The player will also have access to Shotlocks, Command Styles, and D-Links, increasing the easiness of winning the battle along with Ventus's normal abilities. | Vanitas first fights Ventus in a two-part boss battle after luring him to the Keyblade Graveyard.

Vanitas at first challenges Ventus with the goal of testing his power. During the first part of the two-part battle, the player should go on the offensive while also following a hit-and-run strategy, using both physical and magical attacks in a balanced manner before fleeing Vanitas's close combat attacks. Vanitas may disappear during the battle, but the player should immediately Dodge Roll, or they will fall victim to his downward strike if they do not dodge. The boss may also shoot a single, large fireball at the player that will soon separate into three smaller, homing fireballs after traveling forward in the player's direction. Dodge Roll again can be used to avoid this attack. If Vanitas leaps into the air, he may strike the player with a dark lightning attack, which has a relatively long range. Dodge Roll is recommended in terms of avoiding it. The boss lastly may perform a simple two-hit physical combo, an attack easily dodged with Dodge Roll. In terms of offensive tactics for the player, Detona-Square and Tornado are highly recommended for use, as they will deal great damage to the boss, as well as interrupt his attacks. Other good weaknesses to exploit are the boss's vulnerability to [[Magnet]], [[Aero]], and [[Gravity]] magic, | Vanitas at first challenges Ventus with the goal of testing his power.

Other good weaknesses to exploit are the boss's vulnerability to [[Magnet]], [[Aero]], and [[Gravity]] magic, all of these will temporarily hoist him into the air, leaving him open to great amounts of damage. Note that this rule applies to all of his battles. Whatever physical attacks the player attempts should be the most powerful in Ventus's arsenal. Continuation to use powerful physical and magic attacks is the key to ending the first part of the two-part battle with ease and minimal damage. | ||
Now that King Mickey has joined Ventus in his battle with his darkness, Vanitas is forced to eliminate them both. His HP will be the same as what it was depleted to in the first part of the battle, and will also use the same battle tactics. Ventus can follow the same strategies as in the last battle to defeat Vanitas this time. In terms of King Mickey fighting alongside the player, his physical attacks are strong, and the player does not need to worry when his HP reaches 0. He will automatically revive himself in time. One major advantage to fighting with Mickey on the player's side is that he will grant Ventus the usage of a powerful offensive ability, Burst of Faith. Again, continue using the same strategies as the first part of the battle, and take advantage of the King's presence. So long as the player heals when necessary, utilizes their most powerful abilities whenever possible, and acknowledges King Mickey's presence in battle, then Vanitas should not be a challenge to defeat. | Now that King Mickey has joined Ventus in his battle with his darkness, Vanitas is forced to eliminate them both.
