Kingdom Hearts 2 Final Mix - Xemnas (I)
4Organization XIII - Xemnas (The Superior of the In-Between)
The fight starts with Xemnas on the floor. While he is there, he will do one of many ground-based attacks. They are:
- Usually he uses Be Gone! and shoots energy balls. You will quick run to avoid it. Time it so that it starts before the first orb explodes, and aim it so that you end up nearby him (not VERY nearby, just in his general area). Once this attack finishes, he will do another ground-based attack.
- He may use Bind!. This is the attack we want. RC it, let yourself land, and get a full ground combo. If you can't reach him, you're not spacing correctly after Be Gone!. After the ground combo, give yourself space while bashing triangle, as he often uses this RC multiple times in a row. If he doesn't use Bind! again, he will use a different ground based combo. Big note: he does NOT always shout the attack name of the first move used after you do this ground combo!
- You Shall Go Together - You are supposed to dodge it with triangle I guess, but every time I try I just die. So I limit as soon as this happens.
A note on the limit: you only do damage to Xemnas if he is targeted, and that includes the VERY strong finisher. So stall out your limit as long as possible to try and target Xemnas before finishing the move. Also, after you finish the first section of the limit, let yourself hit the floor and throw an elixir before continuing it along. I like using O-based attacks, then the triangle based attacks, then the O-based attacks again, but this is up to you.
Along with the above ground combos, Xemnas often toys around with you by vanishing and re-appearing with a clone nearby. Quick run away. The clones will either horizontal or vertical cyclone, both of which you will be out of the way of. Afterwards he'll either use a ground-based attack or sink back underground. A weird note on this: sometimes he sprays threads of nothingness towards you that are not his Bind! move. I've never been hit or hurt by them, so I'm entirely sure I know what they are for.
For this whole first "part" of the battle, you are going to have to be patient! We can only attack after RC'ing the Bind!, so we have to wait for our chance.
After enough health is taken away, Xemnas will attempt his "Spare a heart?" move. Prevent it from happening with reflega. If you let it go through by accident, no problem. Move forward, pressing square in increments. Get to Sora and cure, then use an elixir. Xemnas is stunned this whole time, so after you're healthy, combo him.
This will go on for roughly half of Xemnas' health, and then he will start mixing in his lasers. You can block them all with guard, but it's too frantic for me, and I can't do it. As soon as he starts firing lasers, I limit. Again, you have to throw an ether during the second portion of the limit, and try and draw out the limit so the finisher connects.
Be CAREFUL when the limit ends! Pay attention to what Xemnas was doing as much as you can, as you are VERY vulnerable when you exit the limit. If he is doing more lasers, or worse, is in the middle of Go Together, you MUST re-limit immediately.
Sometimes when the limit ends, you get hit with a cheap shot from Go Together and there's nothing you can do. You can usually save yourself with a quick run, but it's a tight window.
You will continue this pattern indefinitely. Limit if he is lasering or Togethering, and dodge the orbs until he attempts to Bind!, which gives you a combo. If you run out of elixirs, find pockets to drive/drive out to regain MP.
Finally, once Xemnas is on his last health bar, he will use his desperation. To block, hit triangle AND circle. It needs to be done at a moderate pace, but consistently; press the buttons semi-fast, but make sure you are doing to easily and regularly, as you need to keep it off.
Afterwards, he is stunned until you finish him off, so do it!
