how do i beat xigbar in kingdom hearts 2?

Question

help i've been stuck on this part for over a week and no matter what i do i'm having trouble beating him

Answer 1

Oh year he's hard. OK, first you'll need these abilities:

Reaction Boost: The majority of the damage you'll do is from the Warp Snipe Reaction so you want it to do as much damage as possible.

Drive Boost: If you run out of potions or something like that, you can dive and it'll restore your health.

Aerial Dodge: Good for closing in on Xigbar fast, and sometimes knocks away his bullets

Second Chance and Once More: Will keep you from dying too fast

Reflect: Trust me, you'll need it.

Guard: I'll tell you in a sec (take away quick run if you have it)

Equip Auron's keyblade. I forgot the name but it has Reaction boos which further adds to damage.

Now at the start of the fight Xigbar will go into sniper mode. Just run back and forth until he gets a lock on you. When he does, use warp snipe over and over until he gives up and hops down to the battlefield. Use Aerial Dodge to quickly reach Xigbar and smack him up a little. When he starts shooting, use warp snipe to do as much damage as possible.

When he transforms the room into a single lane road and starts shooting, use guard to knock the bullets right back at him.

When he transforms the room into a little square, use reflect as if you're life depended on it (it does). If you're out of Mp, just run around in a circle to minimize damage.

If you find you're low on Mp, just drive. As a bonus, I've found that you have a very good chance of getting Final Form, the best Drive in the game. Good Luck.

Answer 2

Ugh, yes, Xiggie is a PAIN to fight. He's so quick and gets in so many hits AND they do so much damage.

My first suggestion would be to level up once or twice before you take him on again. Basically for this fight, you need a really high defense and a keyblade with a lot of strength. You won't get much time for magic in this fight, so be sure to have lots of potions. Make sure Goofy and Donald have potions, too, so they can heal you. If you have the Glide ability, use that to stay off the ground when he's targeting you. I think there's an ability called Quick Run which might help, too. Try and hit as many of the Triangle Reaction Commands as you can. I don't think they actually hurt him, but they stop you from getting hurt.

Eventually, he'll stop for a second to reload, which is when you go in and hit him as many times as you can. So even though you're dodging his attacks, you should still be staying kinda close to him.

Towards the end of the fight, he'll get harder to hit, so you need to do the Reaction Commands to get hits in.

It's a long fight, and it's probably better to be more cautious than rush in and try and get him everytime he reloads.

Good luck!

Answer 3

this boss is a piece of cake compared to the 2handed axe berserker he takes a long time to beat since when he goes berserk he's invincable but the sniper guy use reaction commands and jump like a monkey on weed when he makes clones of himself and sprays bullets on the field (i jumped like a evil rabid monkey on speed) sooner or later you beat him also might help getting final form or anti-sora lvled up (turn into anti sora 250 times to unlock the drive to use him supposably) and go nuts on him when you can.

Answer 4

He's the sniper, right? You have to dodge his attacks and use triangle oppurtunities whenever you can. It's hard, but you'll get it done. HAve lot of cure spells too.

Answer 5

To beat him equip ethers in your items and put reflect in your short-cut list. When he keeps on shooting ice down,repeatedly use reflect. His weakness is his own ammo, use reflect as often as you can.

Good luck!
