4EverGamer X mine was the stupid amount of rng in it sometimes he would just spam the purple flame as SOON as I entered the book realm I literally had a split second to react each time
You let yourself fall to the ground and if you have enough hp try to make it so when you aerial recover time it so you can get a bit of invincibility from the flames. Then once your on the ground dodge roll or quick slide .
i know this must be so weird commenting on 8 years old post. But I just beat him at level 22 on proud mode, I came here to check how to pass the meteor phase cause i keep on dying and turns out its actually just random and no way to discern where the safe zone will be.. i have to preserve my MP to reflect 3x per guesses, and my wisdom let me dodge it to safe zone once! Thanks for the video!
(During Zexion's DM) Information: "Find and defeat its real form before it's too late!" ...What? What does that have to do his DM? If it said something like "Keep your eyes on where the spotlight lands!", that would make more sense. (It's a minor complaint, but I just wanted to point it out.)
@@Vermillion12 Actually the mode has a lot to do with it. I stated also, he's not playing critical. The mode would show the change in difficulty, and though a sc/om (second chance / once more) have let you live through a combo with 1 hp, the subsequent hits would kill you. Easy mode has a lot to do with it. I didn't state sc / om wasn't a reason for the specific part. I stated it's only part of the reason for the survival, the other part, easy mode.
MCG TheReaper Actually it doesn’t. He got melted on whatever mode he was playing on. Nothing could have killed him because he just cured immediately after. So no, the mode actually means absolutely NOTHING in this specific situation.
I just beat Zexion at LV 29 Critical Mode with the kingdom key thanks in part to this video, I couldn't figure out how to predict the safe zone before the meteors hit but thanks to this I learned its random and not preset
Ugh, I'm trying this on crit. I can always get him down to his last bar, but when he sends me into the book for the last time he just spams me with shit.
Good thing UA-cam exists or I would have never learned how to beat this boss. At the part where you have to find the book before he sends meteors I always die and it looks like it's because I'm supposed to stand still when that part happens. I don't know how the game expects me to know that.
Emilia Carr It's an exclusive to KH2 final mix. It was out for a long time but only in Japan so now it's global, everyone can fight against the whole organization 13.
Can anybody tell me how was it possible that i turned into a heartless sora form when im etill only just lvl 15 and just got the hero's crest. I had the auto valor on thing but i turned into heartless sora
Smickles Yeah, i think that changing into a form(except Final) adds 1 AP(anti-point), going into one during a boss fight adds like 5, and during an organization battle adds 10. You can decrease them to 0 when you get a new form or by 10 whenever you turn into Final Form
I managed to do it at 26 on Proud mode (chose the Dream Sword). Cost me 1 hour of failed attempts tho strategy is more important than level (people do this at level 1 on critical). However, if you're having a hard time, you should wait with this fight until level 50 or so also, if you can't find the right light during his meteor attack (I suppose you don't have dodge roll yet), REFLECT
This fight on critical is literally almost impossible. If you get anti Sora you're dead. If you get stuck in his book lair your dead. If you get stuck in his circle guess and don't get that split second guess you're dead. If you get hit by that weird fire thing. Dead. Get hit with all the flying books at once? Dead. Widdled him down to almost nothing but you didn't use a finisher so you can't use dispel. Also I'll never forgive them for making healing cost ALL OF YOUR MANA. Literally the DUMBEST thing they could change for the spells. It made an already difficult Mana intensive spell EVEN MORE Mana intensive making magic focused runs VERY hard.
You suck at this game if you think we need to be able to spam cures lol. It’s already such an easy game and you want it to be easier because you aren’t good enough to beat an optional boss? Bye lmao
Using reflect while being close to his book can cause him to be expellable from his world instantly, you can actually get out of the book world in 5 seconds if: You use reflect 1 second after getting in His book is close you you He uses purple flames Damage are reflected on his book Press triangle
I tried fighting him on Critical a few nights ago back when I was playing Episode 1 of Olympus at like level 16 to 18 (first time playing FM btw, played the original KH2 yeeaaaars ago) and got pretty frustrated with his blue fire attack, spent half an hour trying to find a way to get past it only to give up, look it up, and realize that I pretty much *need* Reflect if I wanna survive that. I tried again last night right after getting Reflect and got pretty far (1 and 1/2 HP bars left), but then he did the spotlight attack and the way it flashed back and forth with no animation gave me too much anxiety especially because I thought I had to catch it instead of waiting until it stopped, and I died
So when is it recommended to take this guy on? I'm playing on critical mode, I'm at level 21, and I just beat Timeless River. It looks like if I level up Wisdom form to get the dash, I'll be okay, but I got to the meteor part and got destroyed. Plus the fire move pretty much kills me in one hit, forcing to either waste cure or go into a drive to get Invincibility Frames just to live it. Anyone got any pointers?
Which difficulty? If you are playing on critical, I would recommend to be on level 40. It's not impossible, but it's easier if you have high jump, dodge roll or/and quick run and aerial dodge!
I was playing on Critical Mode. I ended up beating him at level 29. It's really just about learning how book world works and having Wisdom form leveled in order to get Quick Run. Thanks for the reply though :)
Snarly Animal anti form is the reason, why i died 953 times at critical mode. and its only main game+2 as (that one and Larxene). Healless, defenceless and has kinda ok dodge.
Sure, it has a better combo attack and running speed. But in major side effect, anti Sora cannot perform magic, summon, using items, reaction command and unable to revert to his original form.
This is a horrible fucking boss fight. All he does is get you in that world and spam book attacks to the point you literally cant even do anything. Its cheap and just plain boring. Im pretty disappointed that KH would make such a cheap battle. Only giving the dude like two different moves.
Fight is easy only problem is i put him in 1bar in like 15seconds for him to 1shot me in the book broken world spamming infinite shit all over the place literrally he 1shot you with purple fire explosión how can you have dodge i only have breik on squeare im level 23 or 24 i think
+Superdarkcloud666 They're where you fight them in Chain of Memories. Zexion was on Destiny Islands, Larxene in a regular Castle Oblivion room, Vexen in Twilight Town, Marluxia in a regular Castle Oblivion room, and Lexaeus in a regular Castle Oblivion room.
But... Larxene was not in Port Royal Vexen was not in Agrabah Marluxia was not in Beast's Castle Zexion was not in Olympus Coliseum and Lexaeus was not in Twilight Town Next time you want to call me out, make sure you understand the point I'm making first.
+Superdarkcloud666 Lexaeus's place at least makes sense, as in 385/2 Days is where he taught Roxas how to do Limits. Marluxia's place, despite not making sense as he wasn't there, is at least a tiny bit fitting because thematically speaking, Beast's curse is based on the Rose and Marluxia's power is over plants. And he wasn't calling you out, just a minor misunderstanding is all.
You're seriously gonna invest this much into the argument and grasp at straws that desperately. None of them make sense ok? Just leave it at that and move on.
+Superdarkcloud666 You see, you DID ask a question on whether something works or not. Anyone who responded would either agree or disagree and discuss on it. If you don't want people trying to answer your questions with an opinion other than your own, then do what pretty much everyone else does on the internet. Post your opinion and say it's a fact and move on. It's that simple.
i take it back i just beat him. my secrete? less combos for more finishes. i was level 44 on crit mode. (chose swords at beginning) and i was using the kingdom key
Krow Actually, Critical mode's not that hard. It's just difficult to get his patterns down. I was like level 24 and the main part I was stuck at was his Meteor attack...but when I found that trick I won rather easily. Now Larxene and Lexaeus...WHY don't I get Second Chance earlier in the game than level 65? Gaaaaah.
Axel HateR I chose Staff. Which is kinda why I said I get it at 65. I did manage to beat Larxene and Lexaeus. One by crack win via Anti-form and one by Sonic near the end. Now it's Vexen and his irritating combo-killing person-killing icicles and anti-mook.
Jaxionisnum2 It depends since in critical you can do 1x more damage to the enemies but they do 2x more to you so if you can avoid attacks well critical mode is easier.

I find it really cool that Anti-Sora has his own sprite for when he's trapped in a book. The attention to detail in this game is astounding.
all of the forms have a different sprite. it happened to me too when I used wisdom form
This fight is such bullshit. I never thought I'd hate books so much
4EverGamer X mine was the stupid amount of rng in it sometimes he would just spam the purple flame as SOON as I entered the book realm I literally had a split second to react each time
Every time he does that attack in book world where the books constantly shoot those blue-purple flames... I always die
You let yourself fall to the ground and if you have enough hp try to make it so when you aerial recover time it so you can get a bit of invincibility from the flames. Then once your on the ground dodge roll or quick slide .
You could also use Reflect to prevent the heavy damage/instant kill from the purple flames.
If you still haven’t beaten him after 7 years, you can use reflect against that 🙂
Or Just use a limit
i know this must be so weird commenting on 8 years old post.
But I just beat him at level 22 on proud mode, I came here to check how to pass the meteor phase cause i keep on dying and turns out its actually just random and no way to discern where the safe zone will be.. i have to preserve my MP to reflect 3x per guesses, and my wisdom let me dodge it to safe zone once!
Thanks for the video!
Snap! Anti-form is not the form you want during this battle.
The moment you went I was like, wow, well that's GG.
Then I realized you weren't on Critical Mode.
Lucky AF.
I'm surprised how I was able to beat this boss at level 23
(During Zexion's DM)
Information: "Find and defeat its real form before it's too late!"
...What? What does that have to do his DM? If it said something like "Keep your eyes on where the spotlight lands!", that would make more sense. (It's a minor complaint, but I just wanted to point it out.)
6:40 HOW DID YOU SURVIVE THAT??
second chance or once more
And not on critical mode
MCG TheReaper Actually the mode had literally nothing to do with it. He would still survive on critical mode from second chance and once more.
@@Vermillion12 Actually the mode has a lot to do with it. I stated also, he's not playing critical.

The first boss I actually beat in KH2 (From The side missions I mean)
Heartless Junior same
I just beat Zexion at LV 29 Critical Mode with the kingdom key thanks in part to this video, I couldn't figure out how to predict the safe zone before the meteors hit but thanks to this I learned its random and not preset
Rory Brady Actually it is preset.
The blue circle stops after 13 (*wink*) switches.
The moment it switches start counting.
Thanks, I'll remember that for when I face him in the Data Battles
Its still random where it’ll appear but dodge roll is what you need
@@TheAntiVerse I can swear that sometimes it does more than 13 switches but I don't know how to trigger it
Ugh, I'm trying this on crit. I can always get him down to his last bar, but when he sends me into the book for the last time he just spams me with shit.
Same here he's not that hard but he can insta kill you inside the damn book
I a mar nl24 can i beat this book spammer ?? I am playing in expert mode
spam Reflect the second you are in the book
+leonardo albelo yeah u can do it. I beat him at level 20 in critical mode
My Delicious Morsel Ya this boss is garbage
Good thing UA-cam exists or I would have never learned how to beat this boss. At the part where you have to find the book before he sends meteors I always die and it looks like it's because I'm supposed to stand still when that part happens. I don't know how the game expects me to know that.
im fighting at level 21 on critical with the star seeker, man is this guy a pain in the ass.
That's it, I'm just using reflect on the spotlight move
I've been following the kingdom hearts story line for years, but I've NEVER heard of an "absent silhouette" until now. Wtf??
Emilia Carr It's an exclusive to KH2 final mix. It was out for a long time but only in Japan so now it's global, everyone can fight against the whole organization 13.
Emilia Carr it's just an excuse to give the org members that died on chain of memories a boss fight.
critical mode level 22... took me 7hours to beat him whilst streaming. jeez
How you're at a such a low level also how do you have dodge roll too??
wisdom form level up gives base sora dodge roll I think
@@inazumarai7690 that's limit form, wisdom form gives you quick run
@@vooshmoozik6185 yeah, you're right
@@vooshmoozik6185 thanks for correcting my late reply
How do you dodge roll in kingdom hearts 2?
Okay, I stood still, but I still lost. The book never stood in one spot like in this video.
Wonder what his books are about.
Pain
Probably so.
It took me a while to beat this guy. Then again, he is a bonus boss.
How did you perform dash to quickly run to the blue circle to avoid the falling rocks?
It's an ability you unlock from Wisdom and Limit form.
It's mapped to the Square Button.
@@TheAntiVerse Thanks a lot! My Wisdom form is currently LV2, and limit form is LV1
Is there a way to reliably dodge the flame attack? It literally kills me in one hit. (I'm level 19 on Critical)
A well timed Doge Roll or Aerial Dodge should work, if not, then reflect should do the trick.
I know it's a typo AND an old meme but...
Much Rolling! Very Survive! Wow!
Can anybody tell me how was it possible that i turned into a heartless sora form when im etill only just lvl 15 and just got the hero's crest. I had the auto valor on thing but i turned into heartless sora
that's anti form, and it happens when you use forms too much
Smickles i believe that was the first time i've used a form honestly. ;-;
+mang tomas You are more likely to turn into it during Organization XIII battles
+John Sargent oh, well that i didn't know.
Smickles Yeah, i think that changing into a form(except Final) adds 1 AP(anti-point), going into one during a boss fight adds like 5, and during an organization battle adds 10. You can decrease them to 0 when you get a new form or by 10 whenever you turn into Final Form
What level were u on this battle?
Is there a reason why I can't even access the silhouette now? I'm so fucking confu-
what level should I be to take on this battle?
I managed to do it at 26 on Proud mode (chose the Dream Sword). Cost me 1 hour of failed attempts tho
strategy is more important than level (people do this at level 1 on critical). However, if you're having a hard time, you should wait with this fight until level 50 or so
also, if you can't find the right light during his meteor attack (I suppose you don't have dodge roll yet), REFLECT
I freaking love this boss. It's so fun and so unique. A bit annoying and cheap at times, but it's so much.
One of the easy Absent Silhouette fights in the game. The other one is Vexen.
How did you get dodge roll?
joel saravia You level up Limit Form.
You level it up by preforming *the final hit of one its limit attacks.*
thanks! *****
Does quick dash (or what ever it is for wisdom drive) work?
@@retotar1 Quick Run also works for this fight, about as well if not more
WHY IN TF ARE YOU USING THE KINGDOM KEY AT THAT LEVEL??
The Kingdom Key has the "Damage Control" ability.
"All damage is halved when your HP hits Critical."
How did you survive from his meteor shower?
'once more' ability
The one hit kill this boss does pisses me off
How your attacks do so much damage?
This fight on critical is literally almost impossible. If you get anti Sora you're dead. If you get stuck in his book lair your dead. If you get stuck in his circle guess and don't get that split second guess you're dead. If you get hit by that weird fire thing. Dead. Get hit with all the flying books at once? Dead.

He uses purple flames

Spamming Thunder during the Destiny Island section worked really well, tossing him in the air until I got close enough to Slide Dash to him
they did that so you don't exploit it, the same way they added anti-form to keep you from abusing drive forms
So when is it recommended to take this guy on? I'm playing on critical mode, I'm at level 21, and I just beat Timeless River. It looks like if I level up Wisdom form to get the dash, I'll be okay, but I got to the meteor part and got destroyed.

The boss as a whole isn't my problem. His fucking meteors are though
finally I beated him with your guide! thx a lot! (not to mention the rewards sucks :/)
Oh dang I think anti form is the 2nd most op form on the game
Snarly Animal anti form is the reason, why i died 953 times at critical mode. and its only main game+2 as (that one and Larxene). Healless, defenceless and has kinda ok dodge.
Snarly Animal Anti form sucks. Its the worst form.
Sure, it has a better combo attack and running speed.
But in major side effect, anti Sora cannot perform magic, summon, using items, reaction command and unable to revert to his original form.
Two antis in one battle, lmao
Could so easily kill him at lvl 23 on proud but that move where he instantly explodes u u have no chance to do anything hes lucky
I thought you were going to kill him in anti form thb
Finally did it at lvl 25 on proud just needed quickrun but jesus christ on proud mode it seemed impossible i cudnt imagine crit
try playing the 2017 version
Lexi Christian it's like critical mode was created to breach spirits lol
:D Nice!!!
Yeahhh… might want to wait til I’m higher than level 17 on critical with no dodge roll 😂
This is a horrible fucking boss fight. All he does is get you in that world and spam book attacks to the point you literally cant even do anything. Its cheap and just plain boring. Im pretty disappointed that KH would make such a cheap battle. Only giving the dude like two different moves.
Khaynen Alwine That's Zexion for you. He was hard even in Chain of Memories.
I'm doing exotic mode
Wow, this fight was a joke compared to the other absent silhouettes.
EASY THIS EASY MAN I BET HIM
Fight is easy only problem is i put him in 1bar in like 15seconds for him to 1shot me in the book broken world spamming infinite shit all over the place literrally he 1shot you with purple fire explosión how can you have dodge i only have breik on squeare im level 23 or 24 i think
Does anyone else think none of the absent silhouette locations make any sense?

this boss is so annoying. maybe i can beat him after i learn cure
bet you wont try that on critical mode. lol i dont think ill ever beat him
i take it back i just beat him. my secrete? less combos for more finishes. i was level 44 on crit mode. (chose swords at beginning) and i was using the kingdom key

Krow Actually, Critical mode's not that hard. It's just difficult to get his patterns down. I was like level 24 and the main part I was stuck at was his Meteor attack...but when I found that trick I won rather easily.
Now Larxene and Lexaeus...WHY don't I get Second Chance earlier in the game than level 65? Gaaaaah.
ShinyGaara65 Depend on what "item" you chose at the start (Shield,wand,sword) you can get second chance at lowers levels
Axel HateR I chose Staff. Which is kinda why I said I get it at 65. I did manage to beat Larxene and Lexaeus. One by crack win via Anti-form and one by Sonic near the end. Now it's Vexen and his irritating combo-killing person-killing icicles and anti-mook.
Am I the only one that found this fight relatively easy?
The meteor and blue flame are insta kills and yet I manged to beat him, without dodge roll for the meteor BTW, gotta say you're kinda bad
I've gotten better.
...stop it nobody asked for that
Nobody asked for you to flex and nobody cares at all.
Ewww, dodge slash!
He's on proud mode disliked.
da fuq?
Proud is kind of harder than Critical mode
