After this attack, Marluxia rears back and shoots across the screen. He does this three times in succession, and it is important to note that as his HP dwindles, the succession becomes faster and harder to dodge. He also occasionally uses Blossom Shower, which can be dodged with a well-timed Dodge Roll.Īfter this, Marluxia hovers above Sora and slams the mechanical vehicle down, creating a shockwave that can be avoided by jumping at the right time. At regular intervals during the battle, he fires 2-5 slicer waves which can be dodged by jumping and heading to the fore/background. He uses floating flowers that shoot lasers, which can be easily destroyed simply by card breaking them. Once the blades are destroyed, Marluxia takes on a different strategy. It is possible to damage the main body in this stage but Marluxia is only vulnerable after a card break. The main attack it uses is a minor version of Deathscythe. In the first stage, the objective is to destroy the scythe hands. The Second Form is fought largely in two stages. Out of the two battles, this one is most likely the easiest due to the lack of sleights. Strategies Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories Second Form More such tendrils, black in color, billow from the sleeves. Pink-brown spiked tendrils, similar to the scarf of the Twilight Thorn, flow freely from the new 'helmet' on top of its hood, which bears the vague shape of a skull. In true Final Fantasy fashion, the Specter takes on angelic form, with two pairs of wings, one thin and black, and the other larger and white, bearing the shape of Marluxia's scythe. The battle is fought atop the black cloak, where Marluxia, now immobile being held in place with thorns he seemingly uses for control, can be seen with the Specter in a new form, now having grown to massive size, possessing an enormous scythe of its own. The body is much more streamlined in this format, with the arms and general humanoid shape disappearing, even though the face can still be seen. Once this form is defeated, the Specter seems to undergo a growth spurt and becomes a full-sized ship, reminiscent of other endgame battle formats such as the World of Chaos or Xemnas's Dragon Ship. From the flower atop its back, its master Marluxia blooms forth, almost like the pistil. Underneath, a head can be seen, although this is the only portion of the body that actually seems to bear physical structure, as the scythes are not actually connected to any appendages.

Its cloak bears a hood, similar to the Organization, although it is white-gray in color, and bears the Nobody insignia on its hood. Its body shape is overall humanoid, aside from the lack of legs, substituted with the pointed spires that seem to comprise much of the overall Nobody aesthetic. The Specter at first appears as a giant Nobody with a large flower on top and two arms with scythes at the ends, as well as a billowing tattered cape and a long thin spire going down from its body. Once Marluxia is defeated, the Specter vanishes into the darkness with him. Marluxia decides to up the ante, enlarging the Specter, so he and Sora can face off one last time. However, Sora breaks the Specter's scythes and badly damages it. Now fused with it, Marluxia has the Specter attack. The Specter is summoned by Marluxia once Sora confronts him. 3.2 Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories.
