KH2: Attack of the annoying card-wielding man

Please someone tell me how to beat the dumb card guy in the game! He's in the World That Never Was and I don't know how to beat him! Help if you can,



~Hero~

That's my favorite boss!XD Because he turnes you into a dice. Okay...hold on...:

At the beginning of the fight, Luxord will turn you into a die (singular for
dice, the rolly, cube thing for the unaware). You have a Form Gauge that
counts from 1, so you have to go through 0 before reverting to Sora form. The
only way to move while in this Form is to jump in different directions.
Jumping into and colliding with enemies will damage them. Also, you cannot use
magic or items in this form, so no healing.

He will quickly summon several card enemies. They move at a moderate pace and
can attack by spinning around, but they aren't your main concern. Luxord will
flip a bunch of small cards in his hands, then without notice they will
surround you and hit you several times, which can do heavy damage. You can
interrupt him by colliding with him though, so I suggest you do so or you will
lose pretty early on.

He will also have a sort of melee attack where he will extend cards at you,
hitting you for moderate damage.

Keep jumping back and forth, striking him until the gauge wears off.

After you are back in normal form, he will have an action where he transforms
into a card along with several others and you have to guess which one is him.
Try to keep your eye on him and use the Reaction 'Flip' on the card or cards
you think may be him to make him reveal himself again. A good way to know
which is him is that a picture of him will be on the back of it. Picking the
wrong card will damage you or hit you for time, so be careful.

Be aware he will be teleporting around a lot during this fight, so you may
wanna try and keep a lock on him, but the cards and make that problematic.
Just hit the Reaction 'Flip' on the normal cards with blank face sides to get
rid of them.

He will have a game you can play against him, as noted above. I suggest you
get some practice beforehand (especially on the card game, as thats what he
will be mainly playing here) with the Gambler Nobodies, but I'll explain how
it works.

Firstly, when he is flipping cards in his hand. You will get a Reaction
called 'Begin Game'. Your action menu in the bottom left will change so that
3 X's and 1 O (circle) will cycle through them. They start going very fast but
after a couple times through they slow down considerable. Hit the X button
while the Circle is in the top of the 4 bars, and you win. He will take a nice
hit to his time gauge. Fail and you get turned into a Card and take a time
gauge hit.

As a Card you will have a Form Gauge like being a Die. Until it runs out, you
can only move forward very slowly and attack through a spinning, slashing
motion. You need to keep on him and interrupt his attacks, just like in Die
Form.

Winning this game will stun him and make him drop lots of health orbs.

When he's low on Time, he will summon a multitude of cards that will fall to
the ground and darken the area. He will slasj you several times with cards for
moderate damage if you aren't careful, so back off. After a few seconds he
will trap you and him inside a barrier of cards and force you to play a game.
You need to hit X while a Circle is in the top box 4 consecutive times. If you
fail, you take a time hit and get turned into a Die. If you win, he takes a
time hit like like before.

In the end, this is an easy battle if you are quick on your toes and have some
practice and good timing. This is a really hard battle if you have poor timing
as your Time Gauge will melt away very quickly. If you have him down to a
sliver of time left, combo him or use spells to knock the rest of it off, but
the only real way to beat him is to win at least 3-4 of his games with some
hitting thrown in.

and i think that's all you need to know...

Edit: Oh!Watch out for the next boss, even though he is pretty easy, he'll go wild(berserk) many times...forgot his name though

Okay I'm gonna summarize that huge wall of test if you don't mind.

Luxord is freakishly easy. If you know what you're doing.
That time guage up there? That's pretty much his health. When you start off you will be turned into a die. I think you can't stop this. But you can get in a couple of good attacks. Push him into a corner and keep jumping at him. Suprisingly you shouldn't get hurt. Wait around until you're normal then go attack him like mad. He'll summon some cards that you should flip(Reaction Command) if they get in your way. He'll hide behind them eventually anyway. He will use some card/dice game reaction commands. DON'T USE THESE. Because if you fail you gotta wait for it to wear off. Which can kill your time gauge. Instead keep attacking him his gauge'll fall. ^_^

Yay! Second phase time. He'll start summoning a bunch of cards faced down. So you have to flip all of them to find him. Then go attack his face. After this he'll surrond you with cards, which you can't escape from, so you have to play his game. If you fail, no biggie. His time gauge should still be lower than yours. When his time gauge is empty, go for the kill.

That should be it. the next boss is Sai'x, btw. Don't drive while battling him. <_< I went into Anti-form twice while fighting him and reaction commands are crucial.

[Yoshiken]

Luxord is one of my favorites to fight XD. and now im going to summarize Digis summarization even more.

hit him, and dont let him hit you ^^. Simple as pie....Banana Cream Pie....my favorite.

Heh, now I'll sumarize yours:

Kill him. XD

Thanks guys! I'll be sure to beat him now! ;D

[moshi]

I want to summarise too...

WIN!

[Leon]

If you can't beat Luxord, how did you manage to beat Xaldin?

[Yoshiko]

Xaldin was relatively easy. >.> The reaction command simply decimated him.

[Digi]

Xaldin was easy. LEVEL UP ! ! I died on purpose to use Mickey on him. Mickey's pretty weak. >.> Reflect/Learn RC are your friends. >.>

Xaldin was really easy. I finally beat KH2. Now, I'm trying to beat Sephiroth on standard mode. That's really hard. LEVEL UP ! !

[UMS Author Lava]

Xaldin's not "easy". He is a bunch of havoc and chaos bundled into a long-haired freaky-sideburns Nobody.
Why's that, it's 'cuz he flies away too much and is well-protected by his 6 lances.

BTW...I completed the Hades Paradox Cup with over 20,000 points. (YAYZ, Pete is fun to clobber.)
Just in case anyone gets to Round 49 (You get to face Leon, Yuffie, Cloud, and Tifa all at once! Woo-berries indeed...NOT.), I'd recommend Trinity Limit. It's pretty good for a solo attack. To KO them, use Break (Triangle).

[Yoshiko]

Hey, I got the Pain and Panic Paradox cup, but how to I get past it? >.> <.<
I've beaten it, like, twice I think. Do I have to win with a certain number of points?
Or just be a certain level?

[anjilfan]

I forgot....after you beat it, did you talk to hades?I'm not sure how to get the other ones though....I forgot!XD

[Digi]

You get the other ones by going through the story line a bit. Make sure you beat all teh normal cups. <.<

I found round 49 fun. I beat them first time. I had more trouble with Pete than with them. XD I just spammed thunder. (Which Cloud is immune to. >.<) Take care of Tifa first. Then go for Leon or Yuffie. Then finish up with Cloud. Cloud's really easy to block. Block>Counterguard>Combo>Block>Counterguard>Combo>Block.. I hope you see where I'm going with this. <.< Just glide around like the sissy you are and take your time. XD

[Yoshiko]

I'm at the very end... >.>
I beat all the other tournaments. WHAT DO I DOOOO!? D:
Maybe Lava knows. *Scurries off*

[Digi]

Oh! I remember! All Forms and summons must be maxed for the Paradox Hades to open (edit) and I think you gotta be atleast level 90. But don't quote me on that.

[Yoshiko]

Okay, Forms = not so bad. I'm already halfway there. XD
BUT SUMMONS!? Ewww. D: I hate using summons. Especially Chicken Little. The others are... okay.
And then Level Ninety? Not too bad. I only need, what, twenty five? XD
But, what about Paradox Cerberus and the others?

[Digi]

Cerberus is lvl 70 if I'm right. Then 80, then 90 for the other cup, I think. <.<

[Yoshiko]

I'mma over level seventy now... No Paradox Cerberus Cup for me. D:
DAGGUMMIT.... *Cries*

[Digi]

Hmmm..I remeber one requirement is to have summons/drive at least level 4. Try that?
