How to unlock the The Cloaked Shadow achievement in Kingdom Hearts Final Mix - Definitive Guide
For this trophy you must defeat Phantom who appears at the Neverland Clock Tower. You have access to this optional fight after you have locked the keyhole at Hollow Bastion. To trigger this boss fight you must add Peter Pan to your party and head to the Ship: Cabin and speak to Tinker Bell in the corner.
Before this fight, equip yourself with MP healing items such as Ether and Elixir and have the following magic shortcuts set:
- Fire
- Blizzard
- Thunder
Upon starting the fight, head straight for the clock and lock on to the hands of the clock (it doesn't matter which side of the tower you choose, they're all connected) and use Stop on it. The clock will countdown the death of one of your party members one by one leading up to you and you cannot revive them in this fight so be sure to check on the clock and use stop on it every now and then.
The Phantom will only get hurt by spells mentioned above and melee attacks, what you can hit him with depends on the color of the orb below him:
- Red: Fire
- Blue: Blizzard
- Yellow: Thunder
- White: Melee attack
After you hit him three times he will be stunned for a minute and then attempt his own attack, which could be a claw swing or a slow magic projectile. If he uses the dark magic projectile, keep in mind that it tracks you - the best way to avoid it would be to hide on the other side of the clock tower. Because you'll be hiding during the dark magic tracking, every now and then when he does it use this time to possibly recast Stop on the clock or use one of your MP items if you're running low. Repeat this long process and you will have defeated him.
