Kingdom Hearts Stupid Dragon...

I can't beat stupid Maleficent-dragon in KH1. She hard. Help?

 

First off, always have Aero casted on you at all times, seeing that it reduces a lot of damage. So before you fight run the opposite side and cast Aero on you. When that is done, lock-onto Maleficent and go in to attack her. The best place to attack
is at the side of her head, but she is always moving and swinging her head side to side, I am just suggesting at the side of her head so you can avoid her flame breathing. Her attacks consists of: flame breathing, which will remain on the ground for awhile, ground stomping, and tail swipes mixed with head swipes/biting. So once you have Aeroa casted go in for air attack combos on her head keep repeating that when you can. When she does the ground stomping I suggest you jump once you see the tremor lines and use the Glide ability to miss any follow up tremors. After that is done go in at her again with air attack combos. If you run out of Aero run away from her so you can miss her attacks and cast Aeroa again. Also when your health is low, don't always rely on Goofy, Donald, or Beast to heal you, although they will when the can, if you are low and they seem like they aren't tossing you any potions run off and heal yourself. Another thing that would help out greatly is if all else fails, use a Summon! I would recommend using Tinkerbell since she heals you often, so use the combination of Tink and Aeroa. If you still are having a hard time, then I guess you can be a wimp about it and let Donald, Goofy, or the Beast fight off the Dragon while you search for a vine and climb to a higher place and use magic when you want, it'd be longer and you won't get as much experience points, but eventually Dragon will be beaten. So, the 3 keys to this battle are: always have
Aeroa casted on you, heal yourself when you are low on HP, and attack!

This should be able to help you.

 

Or, you can cheat, and just got to the certain vine where she cant hit you, have tinkerbell on, and let D & G kill her xDD

 

That's exactly what I did. Just make sure you have a few Potions and stuff on you, just in case.

 

my advice is have the strangest keyblade have some h-potion and alot of ether and always have tinkerbell to heal u

 

Whoa... she was like, impossible to do. Then I put Tink on, and... it was a piece of cake! Thanks guys! (btw... I used the olympia keychain. I personally think it's the best one so far.)

 

Kitty sure is helpful.XD Just remember to read what she wrote. The battle is hard at first, but then she'll become very easy.

 

Wow, my method was really lazy because I had had enough with her I was prepared to try anything.

What I did was have Donald and Beast in my party and when the battle started I glided away to a ledge which is around the edge and I stayed there and let Donald and beast get her life down to minimum, help by throwing a few spells and heal the party members when they need it and glide up to her when her HP is 1 and finish her off with a finishing combo.


Now I sound really lazy but it's true (how I beat Meleficent not the lazy part XD)

 

also

If i get lazy i hide out on that vine.
If you don't wanna cast Aero you can just make sure that you have Guard equipped. I always just blocked the homing fireballs back at her that way. Made me feel like I was actually doing something...
