The 10 *WORST* Kingdom Hearts Boss Battles!

[@thatkingdomheartsguy9615]

My traumatic fight is Data Larxene from KH2. She literally just spams thunder until you die, and due to the small battlefield, it's basically impossible to avoid it.

[@RubyRaggy]

Yeah for that one you gotta reflect after you hit her revenge value. Personally I had more trouble dealing with her clones

[@thatkingdomheartsguy9615]

@@RubyRaggy well that too the lighting attacks are just the most infamous for me.

[@limogch4586]

Same as her usual battles in my opinion 🥲

[@shadowlessgrandcross2165]

​@@thatkingdomheartsguy9615I think with Max glide you might be able to avoid it but it's been awhile since I fought data Larx in non-rando. Reflect is also going to help alot with the Spam and also just using Limits like duckflare

[@187btokes]

That's weird because she was the easiest for me. Beat her first try

[@justawimpod5067]

Not having Terranort or Vanitas on here feels criminal, but seeing Leechgrave and Ruler of the Sky being so high is justified in my book

[@PathBeyondTheDark]

I find them a lot less aggregious then Data Riku. He is the only boss without a discernable pattern as far as I know and is more about reaction speed. I put all ez codes on so I could never die just to try and figure out how he works (really all combat based action games should come with a training setting) and I still could not do it. I beat him simply by mashing, you know the thing these fights are supposed to stop but he has the least HP if I'm not mistaken and one lucky run of last second healing and not getting destroyed while doing it is all you need.

[@justawimpod5067]

​​@@PathBeyondTheDarkI actually just finished the Data Fights/Yozora on my Crit run, and with them fresh on my mind, I didn't like Data Riku that much because of how spammy he was. Probably the most frustrating Data Fight for me. The worst one? Nah, that goes to Xigbar/Luxord. Also, Data Riku's patterns are tied to his explosive spawns. They spawn in horizontal lines, vertical lines, and circles, and each one of those give away what attack patterns he'll do. I can't tell you exactly what patterns are tied to what formation sadly, but someone more knowledgeable on the fight may be able to answer.

[@Thatboybeans]

Was Terranort hard? I found him to be a hard, but 1st tryable boss. Vanitas wasn’t a bas boss either in my opinion. Curious of your reasoning?

[@kitethegamer3149]

Wow the grim reaper fight is bad ? No that fight was badass bro

[@rikukeyblademaster1575]

Oh my God yes I hate that spell-casting pelican thing oh my God he gave me so much trouble and he still does to this day

[@bentertainmentproductions8451]

Been struggling battling Ansem after destroying the the giant Heartless in Kingdom Hearts 1. Any tips? Been stuck for over a week. After four attempts I get overly stressed that it’s hard to remain strategic, cause I realized this game requires strategy far more than any other game I’ve played.

[@PokemonlordBlack]

Out of all the bosses/post-game bosses of Kingdom Hearts that I can’t stand fighting against…Julius from DDD is/was the most problematic for me…😑

[@Natek475]

I swear Roxas is one of my least favourite on my list it took me nearly a day just to learn his first move 😭🙏

[@DarkFrozenDepths]

"I've never been a fan of bosses being able to heal themselves" Logically, it makes sense... We have access to restorative moves and items, so bosses doing the same can be interesting and catch you off guard... It's just HOW it's implemented that's the issue. Having ways to prevent it would make it interesting. That YX fight at the end of DDD.... yeah screw that fight

[@mr.m1785]

Yeah, fair. The YX fight actually reminds me of a fight from another series (Tales) that I probably shouldn't waste time talking about. As for an example of a fight where the boss heals themselves that's actually kinda neat, I'd say Vanitas Remnant.

[@valydendor4472]

Yeah but bosses typically have deeper healthpools and more defense. Not to mention bosses a lot of times being able to bring you to near death in one or two hits.

[@etonasama]

Terranort is fine since he doesn't heal that much and you can actually fight him unlike Mysterious Figure.

[@mr.m1785]

@@etonasama Eh. I was thinking YX though. Not Terranort. Another boss that can technically heal himself would be the final boss of Re:Mind. I was so frustrated that one time I actually emptied his health, but he'd stolen my kupo coin.

[@sofaris576]

You can prevent it and if you fail he comes back with less health and the second time you reach the clock it has also less health. So even if you mess up you still make progress. I honestly like his clock a lot.

[@Hulk1566]

What I hate in a boss battle are when the boss attacks you and there is no way to impossible to dodge or not take damage, or when the boss is charging up something and they keep you away from attacking them like Sephiroth's heartless angel move.

[@dimentioo]

i feel the same way about xemnas stupid release move in the first kh that drains ur health it’s fucking annoying esp since you lose more health if u hit the wrong button

[@RPGNoZero]

You can actually jump and reach Zephiroth when he’s doing that

[@thatkingdomheartsguy9615]

I literally accidentally beat MF as Terra. He was invisible and I guess I hit him enough times but I thought for like 10 seconds that he killed me because I was so used to dying.

[@felixthecat5333]

To be fair in regards to the young xehanort fight it technically only returns him back to only four health bars, as apposed to him having his full health in the very beginning if you fail to beat the clock before it resets

[@engrchoy]

Mine had 1.5 bars left. Depends really on how much time there is left on the rewinding clock

[@bluerosekoro8875]

I thought it depends on how much Damage you dealt to the clock before the reset happens

[@johangodojolo8652]

It returns him back to usually less than half his health and the next clock phase the clock starts out very injured already

[@marvin39195]

Is he really that hard? I always beat him on my first try... i never really had an issue with that clock move

[@engrchoy]

If thats true i love the boss more

[@deathseekergibbsy]

It gave me anxiety watching the Ursula fight and Sora attacking her from the front

[@mr_hoggy]

The way you described the Grim Reaper fight is actually the reason why it's one of my favorites, there is a certain rush I feel while managing MP and running around for the medals while dodging its attacks, it is a very fun fight that keeps you on your toes all the time, but still not being too hard, being quite mindless on Standard but decently challenging on Critical

[@MugenHeadNinja]

Yea, this is actually a *good* boss, not too hard but different enough to present its own challenge while still being interesting.

[@HaxeRoxas13]

I feel the same way!

[@jonathananderson1728]

Thing that aggervates me the most is when a boss only have a small window to actually damage them. Ursula in Rechain of memories is the worst because you'll have to start reloading your cards so the waiting period is even longer

[@michealforguson5317]

Unless if you're playing as Riku, then the reload is instant. Lucky.

[@gregdeandrea1450]

Oogie. Boogie. ALL FORMS OF OOGIE BOOGIE.

[@davesinsanestudio8072]

Few of these are a bit incorect. For example YX in DDD only get's his full health back if you fail to do enough damage to the clock. Also in the Luxord fight you don't have to run towards the cards. You can use shootlock to slow down time and then airstep to the right one. I feel like few of these you just made hard for yourself lol.

[@yagirlmayalazarus6713]

I have actually never thought about doing this. Huh. Yeah that would speed things up incredibly.

[@rirururu4697]

With how many fire boss fights we get in KH though, it's impressive that there aren't more horrible fights or fights that are worse than the ones you listed.

[@saartajalam1892]

I respected your takes but saying that data luxord is bad because you have to wait for openings is the most ridiculous thing i've ever heard. Idk if you played crit/lvl 1 crit but that applies for every data fight in kh3, and the fights are masterpieces because of it. The game forces you to pay attention and learn defense instead of mashing attack like most players are used to.

[@Jonathan-us1qu]

he has played crit since in some of the clips he had crit amount HP which i feel like makes this take more absurd

[@MrMeowstic7]

I like the concept of data luxord. It's more of a game than the kh2 version I think

[@johangodojolo8652]

Yea that take had me so confused. Especially when he said in the other kh3 datas you can be aggressive and attack them whenever while showing a clip of him trying to hit Larxene mid attack and getting the shit kicked out of him while dealing no damage. All kh3 datas have like 90% damage resistance while they're not open. Beyond just kh3 tho waiting for openings is the basis for like all well made kh fights. Thats just what you do in kh

[@PathBeyondTheDark]

It's definitely a hot take, but difficulty is subjective. It's obvious he did not know you could air step during the DM and he is right about Sora jerking too much during his combo starters. And while there is less waiting then he lets on (really there is no waiting, it's back to back games) it is definitely slower then the other ones.

[@StealthTheFoxz]

@@MrMeowstic7 I still loved his dialogue in KH2. "Look who's on top of the game!"

[@tdduck]

I don't know if someone else had personal difficulty with this one, but I subjectively had a lot of trouble fighting Captain Hook in BBS. I underestimated him and I instantly regretted it lol

[@pikapals41]

I agree - that just made him a really fun fight for me

[@defierofdeath2463]

I love Data Luxord in KH3. Really changes the pace of the fight, which helps a lot with the variety!

[@PathBeyondTheDark]

And there is little waiting around. As soon as one game is over the next begins. I like slowing the pace down a bit and using my brain. The only issue with the fight is not the fight itself, but how much Sora flails around with even a single melee press and you needing to be accurate. But that's just one of the several mechanic issues with KH3.

[@decayedphoenix8865]

It's really good. Skyward just has a skill issue

[@slayer4932]

My only issue is the auto target in the fight tends to make you accidentally hit the wrong card.

[@rocketdog734]

tbh 3D xehanort wasnt that bad considering that every time that he does rewind time, he has considerably less and less hp, so even if you couldnt stop it in time, it didnt extend the length of the fight TOO much.

[@akaii7787]

I remember the ruler of the sky genuinely hurting my hands to play against on DS cause of having to hold the glide button and move the dpad, also this isn't a boss battle but a mission in 358days where you need to clear SIX bosses , 2 of which I believe are mentioned already, in a very tight time limit.

[@sniper9961]

I have an idea for a video, you know how each secret boss had theories on who they might be ? I think a video covering the history of each mysterious secret boss and the speculations around him would be fun.

[@fluffygab]

Dude I remember like 13 years ago watching a vid of the secret boss from bbs, (black coat guy with blue sabers) and thinking it was somehow xehanort with time travel with the clocks. Then I played DDD and yeahhhh.

[@Yasuda9000]

The Mysterious Figure was very annoying to beat. It took me 2 days just to try and beat him with Aqua and Ventus and 3 days with Terra due to some limitations he has like the way he dodges is different compared to Aqua and Ventus so I had to adjust my way in fighting this guy. And after beating him, I thought I hope he doesn't show up again. Then Dream Drop Distance. I was fighting Young Xehanort and notice his weapon and the color and he is able to control time. And the first thing that came in my mind was : OH $#@%! NOT YOU AGAIN! There is also that Vanitis Remnant (I think that is what he is called) who was also in Birth By Sleep. When you fight him, he has only one health bar which I thought was odd and found out magic doesn't hurt him and you have to beat him with only physical attacks, the problem with that is that he takes very little damage that way so it takes a long time to beat him and it is another fight that you also have to dodge a lot. You also can't uses cure in this fight because he copys you and heals himself so have to use healing items instead or some other way to heal yourself. Shotlocks can't hurt him either, but they are useful in avoiding some damage if you are having problems dodging his attacks like when he encases himself in a black orb and sends shadow clones of himself to attack you. And the funny thing is that you have to beat him if you want to fight the Mysterious Figure (Young Xehanort) later on.

[@JadenOmega]

I thought that too when I pieced it together in 3D. I was scared as hell till I beat him and thought, "Well.....that wasn't so bad...."

[@slayer4932]

TIME STOP

[@Kirito843]

The amount of despair and PTSD I feel when I hear Dark Impetus play as some hooded dude twirling around blue lightsabers is pretty crazy.

[@lsdxiii]

Fun fact about Mysterious Figure, he was actually conceived and developed for the original Japanese non-fm release, but was cut due to the devs thinking he was an unfair fight. He would later be implemented due to story implications in the American release and later the Japanese Final Mix release of Birth by Sleep.

[@TheAzulmagia]

And then Young Xehanort had absolutely zero interactions with the Birth by Sleep cast at all outside of that game, making all of the pain and suffering completely pointless.

[@seththemage6029]

Fun memory about Ruler of the Sky: I tried playing it in multiplayer as Demyx. The windup on the first hit of Demyx's basic combo is so slow that it's impossible to hit him.

[@NineHundredDollarydoos]

I never really had a problem with Young Xehanort in DDD. Mechanically speaking, the clock that resets the battle if you don't destroy it is just your standard time limit death, no different from Demyx. It just has neat flavour text and doesn't send you to the Game Over screen.

[@jtomally9681]

Atlantica in KH1 I actually liked. The Grim Reaper in KH2 wasn't that bad to me. The Leechgrave is definitely a bad boss to fight. So annoying.

[@wolfknightleon3264]

My personal worst was the phantom. Between the weak point gimmick and the doom clock, I always dreaded facing him to get the stop spell upgrade.

[@LilianOrchard]

The worst for me are two bosses: Data Riku and Data Saix, from KH3. Data Riku's entire gimmick is just filling the screen with AOE, turning the boss into a game of "find the one pixel of safe ground." But both him AND Data Saix have far too many particle effects. I have vision problems and so the sheer amount of explosions and particles means I can't actually SEE anything going on. The fact that mechanically they're the same dance fight we've had since KH2 just means I can't see anything AND they aren't fun to fight. Say what you will about Mysterious Figure, but at least he had comedy value.

[@nicoflight3982]

10:08 you dont have to destroy the tentacles I remember beating on the grave until I beat it but you have to be careful of the thing inside it because it will one tap if you get swipped lol

[@TheAzulmagia]

I'd swap Grim Reaper with Anti-Black Coat, personally. The Grim Reaper isn't a great fight, but I can think of worse.

[@brawlkillers13]

Mysterious Figure is really cool but holy shit the devs were losing their minds making him. Giving him orbs that shoot the player from all directions literally impossible to block(unless your Aqua) Giving him a doom attack that gives u 5 seconds (FAST SECONDS MIND YOU) to mash out that gradually starts at a lower time the more u get hit Rewinding and punishing u for attacking Back in the psp version version the rope attack usually lead to u dying(iykyk) The invisibility making him impossible to lock on to His ai will instantly use invisibility if u try to d link He can interrupt and cancel his attacks in RESPONSE to your block Seriously wtf were they thinking

[@Ender41948]

I feel like Skyward doesn't know that Data Luxord (KHIII) does have openings after pretty much all of his attacks.

[@Fr0zenNightmare]

I haven't played so much of the series, but I hated the final Riku fight in KH1. It wasn't hard, but it was lame as hell... If I tried to hit 3 times, he would do his stupid rage-swinging and hit me. So I finished this whole fight using 2 hits and then jump over him...

[@Venandi_]

0:37 I screamed way louder when I finally beat that man :’D Woke up the whole house ^. ^’

[@thatsastick13]

The worst boss in the series (for me) is definitely Xigbar in KH2. On standard difficulty he’s not too bad, even his data variant is fine. But on Critical mode this mf had me pulling out my hair.

[@lavayuki]

Terras final boss in BBS and the final boss for the final route in bbs were the worst. You basically have to rely on deflecting, because attacking as you combo’d to death. Took me ages

[@frostailking8590]

Ddd is my favorite game in the franchise. And while I do agree he’s easy due to the fact you can kill him if you throw a birthday party. If you let’s say don’t use the balloon spell and instead wanna fight him head on. He would be considered one of the hardest bosses in the history of kingdom hearts

[@masterchiefspartan17]

Forgot to mention with the Julius fight that if he hits you with charged fists, you lose a command bar.

[@dancemania-c760]

So 358/2 Days. There’s a particular mission in Mission Mode that’s essentially a Boss Rush for every Heartless you’ve faced relatively up to now. After clearing the last boss, you could exfill…or there’s a special boss you gotta go find. You get to the train station, and you are met with the most BS boss fight in the entire game. The Crimson Wyvern. This boss fight was a paaaaiin, with such a limited field of movement, it can summon a meteor shower that can rip 1/4 your health as damage per hit. It’s body slam can cause Silence, negating all Magic(who’s system was either busted or garbage, depending on the spell or level of the spell), it’s tail slap can cause Confusion, inverting your controls for a spell, or THE WORST AFFLICTION EVER in game, Weighted/ over-encumbered, with not only slows you down, but also limits your jump and gliding ability, in an already limited amount of space. I tried so hard to fight it…I noped after the 6th attempt. To this day I never defeated it, that thing is so INFURIATING!

Watching this video made me realize that the bosses in Days were pretty hit-or-miss.

half of this list sounds like a skill issue of not using even the most basic mechanics to make the battles easier. (Like with Luxord, air step). And the Grim Reaper being on here? Bruh. Mysterious figure has earned his place at number 1 though. just badly designed shlop.

[@PathBeyondTheDark]

You are meant to use air step during Luxord's DM. I find it the absolute easiest and least frustrating of the battles. You have just enough time to think before you are punished as opposed to the non-stop aggression of other fights, and it's more then just guard > counter to open up the opponent. I still love the other fights (aside from Data Riku) but Luxord is definitely the most fun for me.

[@elxiyrl9747]

1: Phantom or Ursula COM: Riku 4 2: Genie Jafar or Roxas 358: Leech Grave or Ruller of the Sky BBS: Mysterious Figure (Not a secret boss imo, this is an exabition match) Coded: Data Darkside/Anti-Soras DDD: Orb Ansem or Spellican 3: Lump of Horror

[@WolfRider2002]

That goddamn boss from alice in wonderland in KH1 is so ASS!! The way that it took forever to beat him because I could barely hit him since I had to get up on that chair, but then he would knock it down. 😑

[@bsgfan1]

Fun fact: Mysterious Figure is the only boss battle that had to be nerfed for future releases. In the original PSP release, getting caught in his Collision Magnet was an automatic game over, since he’d follow up with an attack before the stun animation was finished. In the console releases, Collision Magnet became escapable with air dash. Not that it made much of a difference.

[@KH_Supernova]

Honestly if I had to chose a boss from KH2, in the second visit of the worlds, I'd go with The Experiment instead of The Grim Reaper... The Experiment Fight is scary to me, especially on LV1, oh my god xD Other than that, great list !

The hardest fight i've beaten (which Lingering Will may take the cake here) was definitely the Dustflier in KH 365/2 days. Idk anyone that talks about that bs fight, but oml i've never retried so many times against a KH boss b4. Im sorta surprised he isnt on here cuz it is bad but basically, you're dealing with stupid amount of damage, some mixed damage scaling, a huge AOE stomp that you can jump but lord help you if you randomly are hit with the Weighted status, lingering physical attacks with deceptively huge hurtboxes, wonky hitboxes, and a RIDIC amount of health (like 12 health bars. just WTF). I had to've been at max or near max level with the best loadout possible too. Hate how he just tanks everything so you cant interrupt him either. The way you have to fight him is super fukn lame

[@mastercobra8249]

It’s gotta be Ursula for me.

[@fishiesgaming]

Luxord is annoying but quite fun 😂 1) I accidentally finished him by a mistake in my autolock, as in i was aiming for a card but accidentally hit the nearby card and voila luxord was there 😂 2) there are times when there’s only 1 shuffled card on the floor which is luxord 😂 3) my dumass used triangle button to pick his card *in rage form* 😂 i finished his DM but at the same time i died form my foolishness 😂 it’s in my youtube shorts

[@nachos1162]

Off the top of my head the only boss I genuinely hate fighting are all the kh1 agrabah bosses except pot centipede. Every other boss I can get through and even if I don't like the boss I don't have much issue fighting them, but cave of wonders, Jafar and genie Jafar are just... So annoying. They're not hard they just feel like I'm wasting time because they just do so much to make you not able to hit them and have long periods of just waiting for them to be able to be hit again. I hate bosses that force me to just sit there. Jafar is especially aggregious because there's pretty much nothing to dodge so it's not even like you're waiting for them to finish attacking, you're just waiting for them to be able to be hit.

[@kag2576]

I think I agree with all entries minus the Grim Reaper and Luxord. Like I can sympathize with why you found them annoying but I personally love the mechanics they introduce and how it shakes up the usual wait for an opening and counter approach, particularly in the case of Luxord where his fight forces you to be more patient and methodical. But MF and Julius are by far the worst ones for me: stupidly aggressive enemies that do butt loads of damage, can't be effectively dealt with unless you use very specific commands/magic in which using them practically turns the fight into a waiting game and both of them can throw out bullshit attacks that will one-shot you but are completely different from the rest of the way the fight is paced. Also I don't know if it's just because I didn't do the Reality Shift straight away but I swear the first time you play the game Young Xehanort's clock reverses time instantly without giving you the opportunity to lower its health bar (I played DDD on the 3DS if that makes any difference). Either way fuck that phase, the rest of his fight is actually fun but, seeing that clock gives me flashbacks.

I love Julius. Wish they'd use more unknown characters, like old cartoons or the comics. That's why i also love the three musketeers world

I really thought Phantom was gonna be on this list. Still a great list though. Personally, I don't hate Data Luxord, but he's still one of the weaker Data fights.

[@overlordjames6644]

having a list like this and not including the secret boss from 358 with a million HP that spends most of the fight flying away is just criminal

Waterboy was definitely the bane of my existence in Kingdom hearts 2 I don't care if it's version or the regular version he still is the bane of my existence!

Everytime I think about playing Days again, I remember this Ruler of the sky battle and give up.

[@renegadeforlife5782]

wait, wait, wait! You're telling me that Xehanort gets a Bites the Dust ability in Dream Drop and he has a literal Stand that acts a bit like Anubis with the Submit ability in KH1?! Did Square read a bunch of JoJo and decide that every main antagonist power should be featured in each game Xehanort exists in?

Dance, water, dance!

[@devonmcdaniel1176]

You say that Julius is a terrible fight just because Balloon is OP? I'm not gonna hold the boss accountable just because the game gives you something that's OP as heck. It's why I never really used Balloon, or Reflect in KH2, unless I absolutely had to

[@marcus7984]

I really like Data Luxord in KH3. I wouldn't put on this list at all, respectful. I find him fun

[@Omizuke]

O.o. I Platinum 1 2 and BBS. And I don't remember half of these bosses... Do remember aqua clone guy battle. I hate that time mechanic. I agree that the hidden BBS boss is on the hardest boss battle. I can't think of another boss that killed me even half the times that one did. Until I figured out I though he was broken. Then when I did I was just disappointed. He was hard because he was a bad boss. Plus I fist fought him with Terra, when I went with Aqua it felt much easier. But I was ready for him this time.

I spent an obscene amount of time Fighting Final Vanitas as Ventus (I later found out level 18 is not a level you want to do that fight at, and I had no leveled up links) I learned my lesson and Grinded Aqua to level 48 before fighting Braig on critical
