How can i defeat riku in kingdom hearts

If you need to heal, glide away from Riku and do so. If you see him start going berzerk, you're best served to glide away and avoid him until his flurry of attacks subsides. You can, in theory, hit the keyblade back to him and cause some damage, but it's risky to try. This will inflict significant damage if you land it.

If you get him down to about half a health bar, one of these should either leave him with very little health left or finish him off. The quicker you finish him off, the less likely he'll be to stay "powered up" permanently, which is also a plus. User Info: BFarmer Equip guard most definitley and counter attack.

User Info: alton ALTON is right because aero would waste your mp and just get how he uses his attacks and then attack him when his hp bar is green he's gonna stay blue and have a new attack to dodge it by gliding away from him.

Took him down at level 52 I think. I used the Judgement Blade the one where you throw your keyblade and it comes back because of the invincibility it provides. Guard and Dodge roll are good skills to have. Equip your strongest keyblade. Lock on to him and when you get the chance use Judgement blade a few times.

Then run towards him and upload a whole line of combos. Dodge roll most of his attacks because guarding is hard against his fast moves. Having a few ethers and elixers won't hurt either. To sum this up Dodge, Spam Judgement blades and combos and retreat to avoid unessary damage. You can actually finish this game at lvl 56 if you want. Not advised though. You do not need to level up at all. He is the hardest boss in the entire game. Just follow these guidelines: 1. Remain calm and do not take risks.

Patiently wait for an opportunity to strike while spending most of your time dodging. When you do strike, perform a single, hopefully lengthy combo and quickly get away from him. Don't use attack spells, they draw MP from Cure.

Make sure you have Cure as a shortcut on Triangle or Square and use it generously. You do not know when he will strike you with a powerful attack. His most annoying attack takes place when it goes dark. This is extremely hard to dodge so hold L1 and focus on dodging.

If it pounds you, immediatly cast Cure if you are on low health. If you are really struggling with this attack, keep moving as far away from him as possible and heal constantly. Put 3 elixirs in your inventory and use them immediatly when you need them. These tips should hopefully help a lot.

Good luck with beating this annoying boss. User Info: tabstis. I beat him on my first try at level I picked the staff and had nine mp bars, so i just spammed aerora and cura and attacked as much as i could. User Info: KoHfam. When i got him down to his last "layer" of health he used the "superman" attack on me so i used one of the atk abillities. Instead of using dodge roll you should be using guard and counterattack so you can parry him an be able to get an easy combo on him.

That's for his sword attacks including when he uses his form of sonic blade when he throws the key blade like you can. For the move where he shoots back and forth around the stage, the best method for avoiding this or taking very little damage during it is to glide when he does it. If you time it right, you can glide, touch down when you run out of glide, and jump right back up and glide again until the move is over.

The best thing to use is ars arcanum if you time it right. If you do time it right you can take away a good amount of his HP. But don't continuously use it because you'll need some MP to heal if you've run out of elixers, ethers, and hi-potions. Just continue these methods and you should beat him eventually. But don't think it will always work on the first try,it may take a few tries to learn his movements and know when to guard and counterattack.

Good luck User Info: A7Xile. Equip counterattack a must , guard, dodge roll, blitz? The ones with a question mark next to them you may not have depending on your choices in the begining. Equip elixers if you're desperate. Set cure, aero, and anything. When you fight him, keep guarding until he hits your guard If you're good then you can try to parry his attacks instead. Then, use counterattack and combo him once. When he throws his keyblade at you, the dodge roll or jump.

When he says' here it comes! Avoid it by dodge rolling not to his sides. If he says'Behold the power of darkness! The key to avoiding that is to finish him as fast as you can.

This boss is sort of like sephiroth lite minus the insane difficulty. User Info: Tempzero. Healing yourself helps a lot. You have to have good timing to do this I don't know how she did this. So, you chose which you want to do. Now, once he's done flying around he will go an electricity attack that comes up from underneith you Dodge rolling is a super easy way to not get hurt!

I don't know why you don't get hurt when you dodge roll, but it is usefull! Either that or you jump and glide, again. But you have to be able to swerve between each bolt, because then go up too high for you to glide over. When he says "heal this", there will be a big thunder attack that he makes. So, what you can do, again, is either cure, dodge roll, take the blows, or try to glide and swerve away from them. The best method I think is dodge rolling away.

But thats just me. I use dodge roll a lot. So, you chose which one works the best for you!!! When you dodge roll you go really fast, so it's easier to get away from enemies you don't want hurting you. And once you've beaten him you get Ragnarock, a new ability, and you get to be a heartless!!!
