Kingdom Hearts 2.5 Walkthrough Part 2 - Beast's Castle

After talking to beast, you guys will have to deal with some obnoxious Nobodies in the Ballroom. Another XIII member shows-up and taunts beast. He tells him he's taking off with his most "prized possession." Every one assumes this is Belle, but upon further inspection, and trip to his room in the West Hall, we see that Xaldin was talking about the enchanted rose.
 
Beast is understandably depressed at this point, but go back and chat with him, and talk him into joining your party. When you guys return to the entrance of the castle there are some Nobodies waiting on you, again! Dispatch them, and head outside. It's time to have a talk with Xaldin.
 
I must say, Xaldin is probably the most dangerous member of the Organization XIII. He does not really care about the whole gentle Disney theme here, and he is pretty committed to killing you. Be that as it may, your skill level with Sora should make you a formidable opponent for this guy. Yeah, his weapons look cool too, but only for a second, because he begins thrashing you with them soon enough. When he attacks you, watch for the chance to use the TRIANGLE BUTTON to unleash a special attack.
 
Using this will knock him down and give you a chance hit him upside his head a few times. The Valor drive form is good for this battle as well. Donald and Goofy's limit attacks work great on him too. But be careful, cause good hits will eventually piss him off, and he will go berserk. Jump and stay out of the way if this happens. At some point he leaves the bridges and attacks from afar. This can be quite painful, so cast Cure and toss Potions as necessary. Remember, don't give up, and Xaldin will fall.
