So I'm at the point in the W.T.N.W where Sora and the gang run to the tower and there is supposed to be a cutscene where Sora and Roxas fight, but instead of a custscene it's a full on fight and even at like level 41 I can't beat him. Anyone got any tips for making it through that fight?
I think you already know this, but the playable Roxas boss fight is one the new additions coming with the Final Mix version of KH2. So were should I began.
The World That Never was like other levels in KH2 has a battle level, and that is 50. That is the recommended level for that world. As you can see, you are little under leveled. However, with the right abilities I think you might be able to beat Roxas.
Do you have second change, once more or leaf bracer abilities on? Once More lets you survive a combo, and second change makes sure you live trough an massive single attack. Most Roxas more dangerous attacks are combos, so once more is a life saver. Leaf Bracer makes your cure animation invincible, and an enemy attack cannot break it.
Make sure you have some of these abilities, and a couple of Hi-Potions. So, the fight itself. Roxas starts with spinning his keyblades, forming a deadly wave. This can be guarded with a normal guard or reflect. When Roxas does his Keyblade combo attack, dodge roll or quick run away from him. At the end of his combo, he will stop, and then he dashes with high speed, making an X-slash. Guard the X-slash, and this will stun Roxas, leaving him open to attack. When he comes from the air spinning with he`s keyblades, block it with guard or reflect, or just dodge it. What ever suits you best.
When Roxas goes in to the circle of Sora`s heart station, he unleashes his desperation move. He shoots light balls that will home you. This can be little hard to dodge. If you have once more, you will live trough the attack. If not, the go to the edge of the heart station, and use quick run to move around the heart station(does this make any sense?). After this part, Roxas adds light pillars in his combos, making the fight even more dangerous. Just dodge roll or quick run, and guard when you see an opportunity. After a few tries you fill get the flow of the battle, and it comes a bit easier. You can also try and steal Roxas Keyblades with a certain reaction commands, but if you fail, the damage you take is massive. Also in the later part of the fight Roxas summons more light pillars when you have managed to steal his Keyblades. This makes hitting him more difficult.
I hope this helps in some way. If Key of Destiny still feels too much of a trouble, you can always level up Sora. And hey, you can also listen the amazing remastered version of Other Promise. Good luck!
