[vernaldonhighhill]

[vernaldonhighhill]

secret boss. hes the equivalent to the other kingdom hearts sephiroth. as for when... not sure. think it might be after beating the powered up version of the masked boy (for the life of me i cant remember his name right now)

[wilton1990]

I am gonna get so much spam for this, but who is this guy and when do you fight him?

[jedisawebstar]

@1GuideYouHome1 What do you mean?!

[wav003]

This is nothing compared to UN owen was her and Septette For a Dead Princess.

but still it's cool.

[TheGundamseedfighter]

Roxas fights him

Roxas:ahwdfiykuyfguygalfregaiu­fegalfgah!

MF takes no damage then pokes roxas*

GAMEOVER!

[Okamii007]

I dont think i've ever survived long enough to hear this whole theme in the game.

[kingjcare121]

@Aqua311 spam.

Lots of spam

[armegeddis]

@kingjcare121 You can get spiced ham as a weapon? o3o

[mauriciojimmy]

@armegeddis I wouldn't be surprised if you could. I mean, you can use ice cream...

[Aqua311]

How... the hell... do you... KILL THIS GUY?!!!!!

[XemnasNo1]

oh, this guy was fun... too fun... O_o

[Okamii007]

Who the hell did Yoko Shimomura hire as the violinist!?!?!?

[TheNega12]

@Okamii007

Whoever it was, I love that person.

[accountnameism547]

Player: So I unlocked a fight with some dude with two lightsabers?! Man what a xemnas ripoff! I'm gonna destroy this pos-*battle starts and the player is instantly annihalated*

[nicflicks]

wait a minute, didnt ven die in the end? i finished the game and i dont remember doing this.

[YouNoobxD94]

@nicflicks This boss battle is unlocked once you have cleared the game's Final Episode, which in turn is unlocked when you have beaten all character's storline and collected all Xehanort reports.

[realafan888]

Heya Starkiller, wanna see if a keyblade is better then two lightsabers?

[TheEternalOtaku]

Dark Impetus is the official name now

[lennaylennay2]

play at 1/4th speed techno is awsome

[logendomaster2010]

COME ON VEN

YOU CAN DO IT

(15 seconds later...)

game over and you searching on the web:

kingdom hearts BbS how to play with the mysterious figure

[xaqua93x]

*me for the first time* ok so first im gonna just combo then ru-

GAME OVER

O_e

[Underhill702]

This guy is like the sephiroth of bbs

[666ified]

@Underhill702 sepheroth is a pussy comparied to this guy

[Azdrerios]

The difficulty level of this fight is TOO DAMN HIGH!

[Dualwieldingroxas]

@Azdrerios IT'S OVER 9000!!! Until it took an arrow to the knee by getting some of it's attacks nerfed in Final Mix xD

[Azdrerios]

@Dualwieldingroxas Wait, he got nerfed? ...Seriously? Bleh, that's just lame if you ask me. Unknown was SUPPOSED to be infuriatingly difficult. Although, now that I think about it, they probably just forgot to playtest him enough, and that's why he was so difficult to begin with. Also, the 'arrow to the knee' joke boat sailed a long time ago, pal. Just saying.

[Dualwieldingroxas]

@Azdrerios well, they nerfed his "whip" attack (where he pulls you into the air) because if it hits it's just insta-KO (no time to recover or heal before he starts next attack usually). In return, he's much more likely to make clones or get invisible xD He's still difficult as hell, but at least he seems strong now instead of cheap ^^

[Azdrerios]

@Dualwieldingroxas Ah, I guess it WAS kinda annoying how one lazorwhip attack could pontentially annihilate you without giving you a second chance. However, dodging that attack actually became fairly easy after you got to learn his pattern a little better, so why even nerf something that was already an easily dodgeable move? They should've nerfed his combo breaker time warp thingy. That thing pretty much forces you to use shotlock commands, a.k.a the 'win button'.

[Dualwieldingroxas]

@Azdrerios actually, I only had him use his time warp on my Ventus file, and shotlocking him is usually plain stupid: he'll use his "shield" and recover more HP than you'll deal, unless you get really lucky o.o (or unless i'm missing a shotlock xD) Well, at least on critical mode. Haven't played the other modes e.e (Don't ask me why xD Although I didn't try lv1 runthroughs... should try that sometimes :D)

[Azdrerios]

@Dualwieldingroxas There's a way to deal a good number of shotlock hits on him without him ever getting a chance to use his shield. The keyblade point is to only lock him for about 3-4 hits.

[Dynasaur2010]

Someone DEFINITELY has to make a music video for this masterpiece or something, 'cause this is f***ing epic!

[adikkuchan]

@noobpwner1000564447 Random Org. XIII - like dude who pops out just trying to make your life difficult XD

[SanctuaryCookie]

I defeated him with ven!

[1GuideYouHome1]

@SanctuaryCookie

So did I... eventually XD

[lordslifer666]

@SanctuaryCookie

I did once defeated him in the first try, but with aqua

with Ven this fight is just too ....damn

and terra is slow as hell

[slainmaster1997]

@SanctuaryCookie me too at lvl 53.

[baclaba12]

is that xemnas but it cant be his etheralblades are red

[japjerdze]

@baclaba12 it propably is ansem the wise, that could explain where did xemnas get his lightsabrs.

[AstralElebit]

@japjerdze Xemnas is Xehanort's nobody, Ansem uses the alias of DiZ

[deathshadow2492]

This bastard killed me over a hundred times as Terra. But I managed to defeat this guy

[TheUnknownguy9999]

god damn i cant beat him!(@!$#ing fast combos) and im on standard mode( i think)

[1aundulxaldin]

Before proceeding to face Vanitas one last time, Ventus returns to what little remained of the Land of Departure to reminisce. As he stood out looking over the railing into the sky, he thought fondly of Terra and Aqua. But as he prepared to leave for what may have been the final time, he felt the presence of an unexpected guest.

[Lanser747]

I am starting to love the violin

[beserkmaster]

I royally kicked his ass as Ventus and Aqua.

Terra? Too freaking slow to dodge!

[WhoTextedMeInClass]

@beserkmaster now try it in proud mode. even as level 99, you have no hope.

[beserkmaster]

@WhoTextedMeInClass

I did it in critical mode. Challenge Already Done.

[kevinn601]

<3 the violin part

[HyperPeanut08]

The song's official name is "Dark Impetus".

[SiverKamon]

@HyperPeanut08 Where the heck is everybody getting the official song names from? Like people are saying they know the names for song like Xion's final boss theme, and the Mysterious Figure's theme, but how do you find out? You don't talk to Akira herself, do you?

[HyperPeanut08]

@SiverKamon All those songs names are confirmed in the Birth by Sleep, 358/2 Days, Re:coded OST.

(google Birth by Sleep, 358/2 Days, Re:coded OST)

[TheRikka21]

@SiverKamon And who's Akira? Yoko designs the music, Utada sings the theme song and Tetsuya Nomura makes the game.

[SlasherV8]

why so low

[wolfalynn]

I tried to beat this guy, He killed me 3 secounds into the battle. XD

[exammaster3000]

@wolfalynn Do you have Second Chance and Once More? They really help. And use Thunder Surge, it is the only thing I used for damage. I beat him on my 151st try. XD

[wolfalynn]

@exammaster3000 Yeah. I managed to get him down to his final health bar then he murdered Terra's ass. XD

[exammaster3000]

@wolfalynn IMO, it is harder with Terra if you don't know what to do.

[exammaster3000]

@wolfalynn IMO it's harder with Terra. If you still can't beat him check this video:

/watch?v=yPf_7n1Vf8k

Hope this helps. :D

[45Brandon74]

Maybe the organization is back? Maybe this guy well be someone Master Xehonort recruits when he comes back in KH3

And wanna know what I think? Why does EVERYONE who wants to remain anonymous wear the SAME GOD DAMN COAT!!! haha xD

[Thekborzour]

@45Brandon74 They can't be back because they never were before the events of this game BB is based 10 years before KH1 even happened, and before the Nobodies even came into existence. But there has to be some explanation behind this. and hopefully either DDD or KH2 will shed some light on it.

[45Brandon74]

@Thekborzour Still though isnt it weird everyone wears the same coat??? haha

[Thekborzour]

@45Brandon74 SE must be advertising there own line of clothing in their games now

[lordslifer666]

actually i think that the misterious figure is not a villian

and im sure in kh3 they will say that "she" is one of the keyblade masters

[Dualwieldingroxas]

what's more epic about this is that 256 is the amount of bits used for most stats (I.E. attack/magic/def) so #256 really fits this, as this guy got it all maxed xD

[hikarulink]

It took me mor than 10 times to beat this guy but the music makes it fun to fight him. :D

[RevelationWarriors]

Fuck Xemmy, KEFKA should be in KH3.

[icerink239]

wow...... megaman lovers ARE VGM lovers obviously

[1GuideYouHome1]

I feel so sorry for Ven, he has no idea what's he getting himself into :0

Don't fight him, Ven!

[Ultimauser50]

@1GuideYouHome1 Yeah since the mysterious figure is his own master anyway. So ventus will lose.

[Ryotaichido]

@1GuideYouHome1

Better him than Terra.

[roxasora541]

Love the song hate fighting him with Terra, Ven and Aqua. If only Sora and/or Riku were bonus characters in the game

[OBHEADBOOMER]

where did you get this mp3 because i have this song but its only at 128 bit rate but this video has extremely good quality so what did you aquire a 320 bitrate version of mysterious figure? if so i would like u to give me a link if u have one unless u ripped urself heh heh

[CutManRules]

@Orcaluv26 This is not an ordered list.

[SuperDuperSonicSpeed]

@Orcaluv26 Like this if you have no idea what this list is

[ZanTheMonk]

Man, who made the music for this game? Was it Nobou? Freaking love this song.

[zaqareemalcolm]

@ZanTheMonk Yoko Shinomura, female.

[MANJYOMETHUNDER111]

@zaqareemalcolm Yoko actually did very few songs in this game for some reason.

[MANJYOMETHUNDER111]

@ZanTheMonk It was likely Takaharu Ishimoto, as he did most of the other songs in this game.

[alabzam]

Awesomeness!

[RealGenius37]

Wait, who is this person again?

I can't find him on the wiki.

[NegativeSquad]

Well, he has energy blades coming out of his hands.

Either that's intentionally misleading or the "mysterious" just got murdered. :D

[Bl00dyBizkitz]

@NegativeSquad They aren't coming out of his hands, they are actually blades that he's holding. The cutscene before the battle proves this.

[zaqareemalcolm]

@NegativeSquad A.They aren't coming out of his hands.They actually have HILTS.

B.Xemnas holds his blades parallel to his arm. This guy holds it perpendicular to his arm

[FarkleFruggle123]

OMG! It's Alexander Anderson from Hellsing!

[joshscorcher]

Hmm...that techno kinda bothers me...

Rest of the song is great though.

[31Moth13]

Good lord, this is simply awesome-tastic.

[ZealSeraph]

Ear-gasm is the best way to describe this one. Lord of the Castle has always been my favorite KH-boss theme, but this just jumped over it in my list.

[Pixlization]

Just.... Epic, but yeah, lovin the violin.

[narutofan2726]

@Pixlization Is it electric violin ?

[Pixlization]

@narutofan2726 Dunno. I play normal violin, and I've seen/heard many awesome players, and this is definitely possible on it. Haven't heard an electric violin since last year, so it could be.

[banjokazooiefan4life]

Violin very much seemed to be the weapon of choice for birth by sleeps music.

[TheOmegaMegaman]

Isn't Violin the best weapon of choice for any music? :3

[Klagmar]

Hey, I just uploaded this XD

I've never played the game, but yeah, this song is incredible!

[hardysforever]

you're way better than me at it. :P

yeah, the song is pretty good. its up there with The 13th Struggle, but i think i prefer it.

[PirateOfAmazon]

Great, now you gotta remake the Top 10 KH boss music themes...

Excellent piece of music indeed. Gotta play this game myself...
