🚨 PLEASE DO NOT COMMENT regarding the IDENTITY of Unknown 🚨 Let's allow first-time players to discover it for themselves. Any comments revealing this info will be deleted. Thanks for understanding!

Thanks so much for watching, y'all! I was surprised that this video ended up being a bit longer than the Sephiroth tutorial; it was a real challenge to find the openings at times.

If you found any other openings or tricks, be sure to leave them in the comments here for others to benefit from! Up next... the Battle at Linked Worlds! 👑💙✨

I literally spammed strike raid the entire time since it makes you invulnerable and had several mega elixirs to restore my MP. I got it on my second try. Great video!

[danielreyes]

I really had a hard time with this fight on proud mode. These tips really helped me. That command lock move is the only reason why I kept losing. Thank you!!!

Something to note about this fight. I went in blind last night with this being the last secret boss of the game, meaning i had beaten Phantom, Ice Titan, Kurt Zisa, and Sephiroth, and i was making use of the Zantetsuken ability obtained from Kurt Zisa. Whenever i managed to hit him with the Zantetsuken finisher, it staggered him the same way graviga did in this video.

Completed my first play through of any kingdom hearts game(the first one is the one I just finished of course) [my first RPG game in fact] I used your guide for the dragon before the final set of bosses & I completed the game on stream came back to the castle, saw this portal and was like “wtf this wasn’t here before.” I entered it and got killed in two hits, left & ended my stream on to chain of memories

I accidently stumbled upon him while looking for the stealth soldier. I panicked and summoned tinker bell, so I ended up surviving lol

[saxdrummer]

The amount of work that goes into these videos is incredible, such good work dude!

By far the best guide for this fight on YT! Just whipped his ass after raging at his "invitation to darkness" ability for two hours 🙌

I like how you don't spoil who the unknown actually is for newcomers good job man that would've been annoying.

[FunSizedDragon]

I played so much better in my challenge run after watching this guide. Thank you so much for the in-depth tutorial.

I've seen no one mention Gravity Break or Zantetsuken, and even though both are ground combos (meaning they're slower to execute compared to air combos), they can be very effective. Gravity Break can help save your MP, and Zantetsuken is good at chopping off portions of HP at a time.

I just beat him on level 100. I summoned Tinker Bell at the beginning of the fight so I found the first two phases fairly easy. It was still a fair bit challenging for phase 3 and the shock release commands, but it was fairly manageable on beginner mode. I didn’t even attempt this fight before level 100 but I’m sure it is much harder.

[acehealer]

Thanks for this! I am going to attempt this fight again soon and I needed a reminder on how to handle him.

[MidnightThunderKid]

Another great guide! I didn't heed all of the primo info in this video BUT I still beat him by spamming Strike Raid. I was relying on MP Gift to save me.

[Lawmaizing]

5 tries in and I finally beat this bastard thanks to the guide!

[BillyBumBuh]

Looking forward to this even though I'm already on dream drop distance

[alphabladelm]

I can only imagine how people who’ve never played the Final Mix version would react to a boss tougher than Sephiroth. This looks like a nightmare of a gauntlet. And an amazing lead in to KHII.

Shame they didn’t include Gravity magic in future games (CoM aside).

[kerthangallagher]

You can also use Gravity Break ability to have 30% percent chance to stagger on Unknown since he’s vulnerable to gravity based damage on this battle.

Not gonna lie I was very over leveled at 90 when I realized this fight existed and set up goofy and Donald as support build and was able to just spam ars arcanum over and over again with thundagun and thumdaga ring equipped until he died 😅

Unknown out here doing strings and using "Aegis Reflector" like he's in street fighter.
