Kingdom Hearts HD 2.8 players will face a tougher Darkside boss when they encounter it again for the second time. Here are some tips on how to defeat this powerful opponent.
Forest of Thorns Location
Kingdom Hearts players can find the Darkside boss at the Forest of Thorns. The valley is populated by Darkside beings but players should ignore them. Instead concentrate on the boss located at the end of the forest. The hero will also have to evade the falling spike balls in order to avoid incurring damages. A walkthrough video on how to defeat the Darkside is available here.
Use The Same Strategy But...
Simply attack and fight the second Darkside boss the same way as the first. The latter though has a longer health bar than the former. Once the opponent's health bar is reduced to half, things will get a little bit dicey. When he raises his hands, get ready for electric bursts that are almost impossible to avoid. The only thing that players can do at this moment is to heal whenever needed. Staying at the center to avoid the electricity is useless since the pool there is also fatal to the hero.
The boss can also hit players with dark projectiles coming out from his chest. Players can block and deflect them back to the Darkside boss though. Once he has exhausted this mode of attack, the hero can now take the offensive once again. It's important to make as many attacks as possible and make every one count. It will not take long for the enemy to launch another electric barrage.
The key to winning the second Darkside boss is patience. Make sure to avoid getting too many hits from the boss or the falling objects. It's also important to prioritize in healing rather than risking death through reckless attacks. Players will also encounter the Tower Demon again in this game. Here are some tips on how to defeat it.
