Birth by Sleep Vanitas Remnant with Terra

I bet my friend that I could beat the Vamitas Remnant as Terra but I'm finding it near impossible any tips?

 

In my opinion, Vanitas's Remnant is the hardest to beat with Terra. The battle is tough either way, but here are a few guidelines.

1.) Use items to replenish HP. Do not use cure based spells, as the boss can copy you and use such spells to restore his own HP. Sometimes even entirely.
2.) Use the "Mine" series of commands(Mine square, Mine shield, and for Aqua Seeker mine). Set them up between you and the boss and he will often blunder into them while trying to close the distance gap between the two of you.
3.)During certain attack sequences, do not try to counter, or for that matter, block. Simply do your best to dodge. That is what makes this battle so hard with Terra. His sliding dash does not offer the brief invulnerability that Ven's dodge roll or Aqua's cartwheel does.
4.) Don't rush to attack. Exploit openings, such as when the boss is in the air after hitting a mine or when he uses the shotlock, assuming you can get behind him. Other than that, stay on the defensive.
5.) Do not try to use complex end game commands. They take too long to activate and can leave you open for attack during the sequence. I beat this boss with all 3 characters using only mines and keyblade swings.

Just follow these steps and be patient. You will win eventually. Hope I helped. ​

 

Like what Ghost said, follow the patterns and spam dodge with no elemental attacks, Mine spells work awesomely and items is good cause the VR heals when you use Cure/ra/ga magic.

 

Thanks! I'm doing better now I think I need to level grind some more though.

 

Perhaps, but it is unlikely. Since both Vanitas's Lingering Spirit and the Mysterious Figure are such strong bosses, they are ging to rapidly reduce your HP to 1 no matter how high your level is. I beat both at a mere level 50. ​

 

But i think it would help to have higher magic and defense stats

 

I can understand why you'd think so. But the satisfaction of beating the boss comes from the difficulty, does it not? ​

 

yeah that and the defeated look on my friends face who thinks its impossible >:D

 

I beat VR with ven and Aqua at like...Lv 38/39, I haven't doen with Terra cause I already focused so much on those two i got tired of VR lol
