Help on Beating last three bosses in Hollow Bastion

[RikuIsMine77]

I have the guide and everything, but sometimes they leave things out. So how do I beat the dragon, 2nd Riku, and bemoth in Hollow Bastion? Any tips other than the ones in the guide for someone who is only on level 42?

you need to level up a little, i did it at level 50, so around there,
Maleificent-Dragon
This can be a tough boss, have your best abilities equipped,also have so Hi-potions and Mega-Potions on hand, have Cure and Aero as shortcuts, and have Tinkerbell ready to go, when the battle begins, summon Tinkerbell, this will keep topping off your health, and when you are about to die, refill your helath, now after summoning Tink, cast Aero to shield yourelf, now go in head first and attack, do this for a while, then retreat when your health gets to about half, so Tink can heal you, now re cast Aero when needed, thats the way i beat Maleificent-Dragon.
Riku II
Now this may be one of the best, but hardest battles in the game, as Rikus health decreases, his speed and strength increases, so go in with some Elixirs and a few Hi-Potions, have the Olympia Keyblade or Metal Chocobo Keyblade, have Cure and Aero on quickcast again, and have Guard and Counter-attack abilites on, as soon as the battle starts, cast Aero to shield yourself, now attack, when he begins to attack you, gurad the counter, thats the way to go, once you drop Rikus health to the Yellow bar, a new attack will appear, it is something like Strike Raid, you can hit this attack back at him with a well timed slash and cause damage to him, once down to his Green Health bar, he will use his final attack, Dark Aura, when he does this attack, he launches himself across the arena, in a circle, appearing and disappearing through the sides of the arena.
Behemoth
This battle can be easy or hard depending on the way you tackle it, equip Ars Arcanum, again the standard set-up, cure and aero as quickcast, hi-potions and elixirs as items, as soon as you get into battle, jump on Behemoths back and lock on manually to his horn, thats his weak point, attack it with all you got, when Behemoth starts to charge up its horn, cast Aero on yourself, this will reduce the damage from his attack, use Ars Arcanum to take big chunks off his health, cure when needed, and Voila, Behemoth is gone.

Hope this Helps!

Thanks so much! I'm trying to beat this game as quick as possible due to wanting to complete CoM before KH2 comes out!

What keychain is best if you don't have the olympia or the chocobo?



EDIT: I still can't beat the dragon. I hope this doesn't slow me down from winning KH any time soon.

you will either need the Lionheart or the Fairy Harp

 

[kairi2009]

if you have to level up a little bit more, maybe, 54-56, try that becuase your strength should go up, and it should take less hit to defeat the dragon, have accessories that will boost your strength and defence.

that should help!

Boss Fight
Riku
==========
Thankfully, you get your keyblade back for this encounter, and Donald
and Goofy come to their senses. This battle is reminiscent of old times.
You'll want to use Dodge Roll to get behind him and combo his back. He
doesn't have any extra special attacks that you need to worry about, so
this should be a fairly straightforward battle. Keep your health up, and
you'll be fine.


Boss Fight
Maleficent
==========
As the battle starts, target the platform Maleficent is on, and cast
Gravira on it. This causes it to sink to the ground, where you have a
few good shots at Maleficent herself. While you are hitting her, she can
hit you away with her staff, and summon meteors to hit you. When you
hear her about to do this, run away or suffer a meteor to the face.
That's never too fun. Also, she will release many Defenders into the
room to mix things up a bit. You can focus on them when Maleficent is
busy with her meteor shower if you want the munny. This battle shouldn't
be too hard at this point.


Boss Fight
Dragon
==========

This battle is really tough, unless you know the Dragon's weak spot. As
the battle starts, glide around back of the Dragon and jump on its hind
leg. Walk on to its back and stay there. Now use Strike Raid over and
over again, using Ethers when you need to replenish your MP. If you get
thrown off, simply climb back up again and continue this process.
Attacks include green dragon breath that stays burning on the floor,
continuous shockwaves that cover the entire area EVERY time the Dragon
takes a step, claw swipes, devastating bite attacks, and homing fire.
This is a nasty battle, even for the well prepared gamer. If you see the
Dragon pause and lift its head up a little, be prepared to be launched
from its back, taking minor damage. You could just stay on the Dragon's back until Goofy and Donald take
care of it, but that would take quite a long time.


Boss Fight
Riku (2)
==========

Argh, not another Boss Fight! Too bad this one is incredibly hard too.
Well, start the battle off by casting Aerora on Sora, and try to keep it
that way. If you have the Guard ability equipped, use it wisely and
deflect Riku's attacks. He will be stunned momentarily, giving you a few
quick hits. If you find you need to heal, fly away from him and cast
Cura. If he goes berserk, then you should fly around the room until he
calms down. If he starts throwing his keyblade at you, you can hit it
right back at him to cause damage, but this is risky. It's best just to
avoid this attack.

There is a certain pattern that you can get into that lets you take
enormous chunks of life from Riku. After using Guard to block his
jumping attack, you'll have just enough time to pull a full combo on him.
After your last blow, immediately block as he jump attacks you again.
This way, he won't be able to hit you, while you take big amounts of his
HP away. If you're lucky, you will be able to hold this pattern for
quite a while. Also, take note that the faster you finish him off, the less likely he will be to stay in his powered up form permanently. This is definitely a great thing to remember. If you can pull off using Ars Arcanum on him, that would be great.

I hope I helped , all I ask in return is rep points, that'll be very much appreciated, thanks.

Thank-you everyone so much! I'll hopefully beat the bosses soon. As for rep. points, don't get me wrong, both of you were so helpful, but I'm afraid I have no ideal how to give them (or if only mods. give them). But if I find out I will give them to y'all!

Thanks bunches!


EDIT: I just beat the dragon (letting Beast and Donald mostly take care of it). Now I'm nervous about Riku 2. It's one-on-one. *shivers a bit* I'm guessing one day I'll kick his a$$.
