Early concepts for the Xemnas battle included two gargantuan Nobodies in place of the dragon, formed from Dark City rather than the Castle That Never Was: {{nihongo|'''[[King]]'''|キング|Kingu}}, which had a vaguely humanoid upper body adorned in Nobody sigils and wore an immense crown, and {{nihongo|'''[[Kentauros]]'''|ケンタロウス|Kentarousu}}, which resembled a dilapidated version of the King attached to a quadrupedal lower body, with the crown becoming a spiked ruff.

At the start of the battle, immediately [[Lock-On]] to Xemnas, summon [[Tinker Bell]], and prepare any variant of [[Aero]] available (preferably as a shortcut). This will minimize the damage Xemnas can do to Sora. He will immediately execute an energy-ball attack, which explodes into orb-like, damaging force fields. While it is advised that Sora has his most powerful abilities equipped, be careful at close range, as Xemnas will counter with a damaging shield technique or a powerful slashing combo. As Sora must also be wary of his [[MP]], [[Elixir]]s and [[Megalixir]]s are strongly recommended.

[[File:Versus Xemnas KHII.png|right|thumb|Xemnas faces down Sora within the [[Memory's Contortion]].]]
When the battle begins, Xemnas will use his '''Invitation to Nothingness''' attack, which ensnares Sora in a field of energy that will slowly drain his health, then he teleports to the top of [[Memory Skyscraper]]. Sora must rush to the bottom of the building and use the [[Reaction Command]] "Facedown" to break the energy field and run up the building after Xemnas. Xemnas will leap down to confront Sora as he nears the top. At this point, one of three Reaction Commands appears depending on how close Sora is to Xemnas. The first is "Clash", where they pass each other harmlessly. The second is "Breakthrough", where Sora attacks Xemnas with a single attack. At the last second, the command changes to "Finish", where Sora attacks Xemnas several times and slams him into the side of the skyscraper. It's recommended to hit {{Button|t}} at "Finish". Note that '''not''' hitting Xemnas will cause him to deal damage to Sora.

After destroying the main core of the Dragon Ship, Sora faces Xemnas in armor. Although he remains sitting on his throne, the Superior wields a massive sword, and can also channel the attacks of the [[Organization XIII]] members slain earlier in this game.
After destroying the main core of the Dragon Ship, Sora faces Xemnas in armor. Although he remains sitting on his throne, the Superior wields a massive sword, and can also channel the attacks of the game's fallen [[Organization XIII]] members.


When reduced to 70% HP, Xemnas summons five of [[Demyx]]'s Water Forms, which drop [[HP]] [[prizes]] on defeat as well as allowing Sora to use the '''Wild Dance''' Reaction Command. Xemnas can deploy the weapons of the other previously defeated Organization XIII members as well, including those of [[Xigbar]], [[Xaldin]], [[Saïx]], [[Axel]], and [[Luxord]]. Watch for when these weapons appear near Sora to avoid getting caught off guard. Additionally, Luxord's [[Fair Game]] can appear to attack Sora if he passes over the image of a card on the floor.

When an attack causes Xemnas to flinch, he counters with '''Sweep Away''', then launches attacks with weapons deployed in various locations. He will also launch two simultaneous attacks with deployed weapons when reduced to 40% HP.

After the fall of the massive Dragon Ship, it rejuvenates and teleports Sora and Riku to an alternate dimension. They fly to the head of the ship, where they find the stationary, armored Xemnas awaiting them yet again. He will attack with a long-range sword swipe as in the last battle, dealing a lot of damage on contact. When reduced to the HP thresholds of 80%, 50%, and 30%, Xemnas blows Sora and Riku far away and fortifies his defenses with a giant shield. The first and second time Xemnas uses this attack, the shields will automatically deactivate after two minutes.

[[File:Xemnas (Dragon) 3rd Fight (Shielded) KHII.png|thumb|200px]]
This fight pits Sora and Riku in a [[Gummi Ship]]-style battle on a [[Sidecar Glider]] against a massive Dragon Ship, which is piloted by Xemnas. Only three commands are available on the menu: [[Attack]], Drain, and Shoot. Use [[Drain]] when enemy ships fire lasers at Sora and Riku, filling the Charge Gauge. If this gauge is filled, {{Button|t}} can be used to fire a powerful Reaction Command, "Mega-Laser". This attack will, if not completely, drain large portions of the ship's HP without fail.

Only three commands are available on the menu: [[Attack]], Drain, and Shoot. Use [[Drain]] when enemy ships fire lasers at Sora and Riku, filling the Charge Gauge. If this gauge is filled, {{Button|t}} can be used to fire a powerful Reaction Command, "Mega-Laser". This attack will, if not completely, drain large portions of the ship's HP without fail. If Bomb Bells appear near Sora, he can press {{Button|s}} to fire lasers to deal damage, but the Attack option offers higher accuracy. The shoot should only be used against enemies that are out of range. All enemies that bombard the ship via Shoot deal massive damage.
 
During the fight, Bomb Bells, Speeders, and Spiked Rollers will appear to attack Sora and Riku. If a Bomb Bell remains undamaged for six seconds after spawning, it moves to where Sora was at that time and uses Explosion. If it approaches, move away to avoid its blast. If Bomb Bells appear near Sora, he can press {{Button|s}} to fire lasers to deal damage, but the Attack option offers higher accuracy. Speeders uses Shot while moving forward, fly off-screen, then do a U-turn to return. If you see it fire its lasers, be sure to absorb them with the Drain barrier. When a Spiked Roller appears, it hovers in place and uses Homing Laser, then flies away immediately afterward. Its Homing Laser is quick enough to hit Sora as the Drain barrier forms, so don't hesitate to set up Drain in advance. The shoot command should only be used against enemies that are out of range. All enemies that bombard the ship via Shoot deal massive damage.


Sora must first tackle the Dragon Ship's tail. Utilizing a combo of the commands mentioned above, this should hardly be a challenge. Xemnas may fire a large array of missiles and since Sora cannot heal in this battle, be sure to dodge by flying in circles to each corner of the screen.

After destroying the tail, Sora must defeat the "legs" of the ship. "Mega-Laser" will come in handy here and also fly in circles to dodge the snowflake-shaped lasers that are fired. After defeating both of these limbs, Sora can proceed to the wings.

Before the first wing can be destroyed, Xemnas will fire "snowflake lasers" as well as missiles. Both tactics can be dodged via flying to each screen corner. Once this is done, the command process repeats itself yet again. Defeat both wings in order to clear the battle and progress.

Xemnas will first throw Sora and Riku into the air, leading to a series of aerial slash attacks and roundhouse kicks. It is possible, however, to avoid being thrown in the air if Sora has Reflega in the shortcut menu and uses it immediately after the battle begins. These tactics can be dodged by using the "[[Reversal]]" Reaction Command. To deal minor damage to Xemnas as he teleports around, manually select the [[Trinity Limit]] ability. This approach would then lead to the "Block" Reaction Command. It is also possible for a cinematic to play where Xemnas knocks Sora's [[Keyblade]] away. At this time, activate the Reaction Command "Defend", where Riku tosses Sora's Keyblade back to him and they both force Xemnas away.

[[File:Versus Xemnas KH3D.png|right|thumb|Xemnas taunts Sora before engaging in combat.]]
At the start of the battle, Xemnas will use Building Throw at Sora while teleporting to the end of the arena, then follows by three more buildings. Perform carefully-timed [[Slide Roll]]s to avoid them and reach Xemnas quickly. If left alone during his normal phase, he will casually walk up to Sora like in prior games but will start to actively attack in response to Sora's offense.
At the start of the battle, Xemnas will use Building Throw at Sora while teleporting to the end of the arena, then follows by three more buildings. Perform carefully-timed [[Slide Roll]]s to avoid them and reach Xemnas quickly. If left alone during his normal phase, he will casually walk up to Sora like in prior games but will start to actively attack in response to Sora's offense.


Xemnas is incredibly swift and frequently travels around the battlefield either inside an impenetrable sphere of darkness or by teleporting from place to place, attempting to catch Sora from behind, and may also use it relentlessly in order to completely nullify his attacks. He fights with moves that are mainly seen in the final fight from the previous game, with the exception of the shield and the sphere teleports which are seen in the first fight. As soon as Xemnas reappears from the dark sphere, Lock-On to him and press {{button|dsy}} or {{button|square}} to guard against the ensuing Ethereal Blade combo or roundhouse kick, leaving him open to Sora's [[Counter Rush]]. The use of [[Sliding Sidewinder]] is also efficient at staggering and repelling Xemnas, and powerful Unison Attacks like [[Decussation]] is useful as well, and may also stunlock him for a while with [[Firaga Burst]] followed immediatly by [[Ars Arcanum]]. As with all bosses, a deck of alternating [[Balloon]]- and [[Cure]]-type spells can also easily win the battle.
Xemnas is incredibly swift and frequently travels around the battlefield either inside an impenetrable sphere of darkness or by teleporting from place to place, attempting to catch Sora from behind, and may also use it relentlessly in order to completely nullify his attacks. When Xemnas's reaction durability value reaches 0, he will flinch after every attack for 3.3 seconds. He fights with moves that are mainly seen in the final fight from the previous game, with the exception of the shields and the sphere teleports which are seen in the first fight. As soon as Xemnas reappears from the dark sphere, Lock-On to him and press {{button|dsy}} or {{button|square}} to guard against the ensuing Dual Blade or Flying Dual Blade, leaving him open to Sora's [[Counter Rush]]. Beware that Xemnas can still counter attack after a Counter Rush. The use of [[Sliding Sidewinder]] is also efficient at interrupting, staggering and repelling Xemnas. If he isn't using the sphere teleports and is instead idling, one can use [[Firaga Burst]] combined with either powerful Unison Attacks like [[Decussation]], or commands with extended combos like [[Ars Arcanum]], stunlocking Xemnas and dealing up to 3HP bars of damage, especially when buffed with [[Spirit Roar]]. As with all bosses, a deck of alternating [[Balloon]]- and [[Cure]]-type spells can also easily win the battle.


Xemnas's most lethal move surrounds Sora with Shots, where he should leap over them with [[High Jump]] and either use the [[Air Slide]]/Sonic Impact/Double Impact combo or performing Superglide. The position of the Shots circle will always match Sora's so it is advised to land only when they're all gone. When Xemnas traps Sora in a cage of energy shields, simply [[High Jump]] over them and repeat the Air Slide/Sonic Impact/Double Impact combo to avoid the ensuing barrage of lasers; while risky, a [[Flowmotion]] attack at this point may halt Xemnas's attacks for a short period. He may try to defend himself with a single energy shield from time to time, but Sora can either stay away from it to avoid getting interrupted or allow it to knock him backwards so that he can perform [[Payback Raid]], as the shield deals only 1HP of damage.
Xemnas's most lethal move surrounds Sora with Shots, where he should leap over them with [[High Jump]] and either use the [[Air Slide]]/Sonic Impact/Double Impact combo or perform Superglide. The position of the Shots circle and aiming will always match Sora's so it is advised to keep moving and land only when they're all gone. When Xemnas traps Sora in a cage of Spark Walls, simply [[High Jump]] over them and either Super Glide or repeat the Air Slide/Sonic Impact/Double Impact combo to avoid the ensuing barrage of Shots. One other trick is to climb the walls with [[Flowmotion]], jump while moving around to dodge the Shots and attack near Xemnas with [[Shock Dive]] to deal damage. In the case where he creates the four walls while near Sora, he can just Block the Shots and Counter Rush, interrupting and knocking Xemnas back. He may try to suddenly defend himself with a single Spark Wall from time to time to knock Sora back, but if possible he can either stay away from it to avoid getting interrupted or allow it to knock him backwards so that he can perform [[Payback Raid]], as the knock back deals only 1HP of damage.


After half of his HP has been depleted, Xemnas resets the battlefield, and uses Building Throw. From Sora's starting position, it isn't required to move at all in case Xemnas throws one or two buildings, but in the case three are thrown, it will require Sora to time his Slide Roll well. After all three sets of Building Throw have been sent, Sora gets sent into a gliding phase of the attack where he cannot move but can still use the Attack command (contrary to how it is displayed), and on the white building directed at him, he can trigger the [[Nightmare's End]] [[Reality Shift]].
After half of his HP has been depleted, Xemnas resets the battlefield, and uses Building Throw. From Sora's starting position, it isn't required to move at all in case Xemnas throws one or two buildings, but in the case three are thrown, it will require Sora to dodge roll forwards when the nearest buiding falls in front of him. After all three sets of Building Throw have been sent, Sora gets sent into a gliding phase of the attack where he cannot move but can still use the Attack command (contrary to how it is displayed), and on the white building directed at him, he can trigger the [[Nightmare's End]] [[Reality Shift]].


If Nightmare's End succeeds, the arena will shift to its original form, and include a few chunks of buildings with long Flowmotion rails on top of them, with a passive Xemnas at its end. Sora's first hit will cause Xemnas to sigh and rally after some time will have passed, meaning that in the meantime, Sora should quickly unleash his most powerful commands until the Nobody does so. Using [[Sliding Dive]] from the last rail isn't recommended as it counts as a first hit too. Once he has rallied, Xemnas warps the battlefield back to its original state, and will increase the frequency and ferocity of his attacks, while not staggering from damage anymore (he can still be interrupted by Blocks), making Sliding Sidewinder almost useless for its aforementioned purpose.  
If Nightmare's End succeeds, the arena will shift to its original form, and include a few chunks of buildings with long Flowmotion rails on top of them, with a passive Xemnas at its end.

If Nightmare's End fails or isn't used, Sora will take damage and the battlefield will shift back to its original form, but the ferocity of Xemnas's attacks will remain normal until he eventually starts using Building Throw again. If Sora immediately kicks him with either Sonic Impact or Double Impact, he will repeat the Building Throw phase again. In the rare case Sora gets defeated during the gliding phase because of the building but gets resurrected by [[Auto-Life]], he will essentially get soft-locked until his Drop Gauge gets depleted, with Xemnas staying intangible and immobile.

In any case, resume the Guard and [[Counter Rush]] and use the same combos as usual to finish Xemnas off.

It is advised to bring two Curaga commands into battle to ensure maximum healing potential and cancel out the wait for command reload time should Sora's HP need replenishing. Also bring [[Spirits]] that have Curaga and the [[Haste]] Support Magic to not have problems with the reload time, while having ones that can cast [[Spirit Roar]] in order for Sora's damage to increase temporarily, and, combined with his best commands, allowing him to wipe out up to 3 or 4 of the enemy's HP bars. Use Flowmotion to Sora's advantage, and the battle should end with minimal difficulty. It is a necessity to enter this fight with a full [[Drop Gauge]] and even bring [[Drop-Me-Not]]s when at a lower level.

It is recommended to take him out last since he is the fastest and most aggressive out of them, making it difficult to land a combo. Xemnas will attack with his Ethereal Blades and hand-to-hand combat, employing a rapid slashing blade combo and swinging his Ethereal Blades in a helicopter-like manner before unleashing a burst of energy from his Ethereal Blades as well as spinning energy kicks, and can launch four energy balls and quickly move around while creating orbs that fire lasers. As his health decreases, Xemnas teleports more often to avoid attacks.

|Master Xehanort summons a storm of Keyblades that temporarily removes Riku and Mickey and surrounds the battlefield. Bundles of Keyblades will fly around Sora one-by-one (the last four bundles directly target him). Can be blocked from behind.

{{nihongo|'''Leader Cooperation'''|リーダー連携|Rīdā Renkei}} has one enemy designated as the leader. The non-leaders attack first, then the leader after them; the order depends on those remaining. When Leader Cooperation is used, one enemy is designated the "leader"; the leader is surrounded by an aura and targets Sora until the next use of Leader Cooperation. The initial leader is the one with the lowest maximum HP in terms of percentage, and they rotate between each other. When only one enemy remains, they automatically become the leader and use of Leader Cooperation is discontinued.

====Data Rematch====
Xemnas's data is not only much stronger and with more HP but has also acquired several new attacks, making him much more deadly. He retains his old Ethereal Blades slashing combo and helicopter attack as well as his energy kick, but has gained new melee attacks: he can perform a leaping kick with both legs, which can be enhanced with a burst of energy, and also a straight kick as well as also gaining more sword combos. Xemnas has also gained the ability to use his old barrier ability, which can be broken with a single attack but damages Sora if he is thrust into it, and Twilight Thorns that do not damage but cannot be blocked and will launch Sora into the air, allowing Xemnas to easily catch Sora off-guard.

After a certain amount of Xemnas's health has been depleted, he will unleash his ultimate attack. He first surrounds the entire arena with darkness as Twilight Thorns begin to suddenly materialize out of nowhere, allowing Xemnas to force Sora into the air without Sora being able to react. Eventually, Xemnas will create thousands of Ethereal Blades and launch them as projectiles while also randomly attacking until the stage returns to normal; the red Ethereal Blades can be blocked, but the blue ones cannot so be sure to roll out of the way upon seeing one. Before the first barrage, Xemnas will use his quick three-hit combos before throwing Sora with his Twilight Thorns. Block immediately when he teleports. After his first barrage, he will go with his slower two-hit kick combos before throwing Sora. Sora should time his guards to block all his kicks.
