i'm stuck on meleficent (dragon) as aqua in bbs. i die once i wipe out half of one of her hp bars. i couldent beat her in kh1 either. is there a trick to it?

When she breaths fire you hide behind the price guy thats in your team

I didn't have trouble with it but this is from the Kh wiki: Phillip can assist Aqua with the command "Selfless Prince" by pressing the button when prompted. He throws her into the air and pressing at this time makes Aqua do a powerful diving attack. The two use this attack to knock down walkways in Maleficent's Castle so Aqua can access the wheels to open the gates, and during the boss battle against Dragon Maleficent to throw Aqua onto Maleficent's back and to knock Maleficent crashing to the ground.

 

That's of course if you want to leave it to Phillip. If you want to take matters into your own hands:

When Aqua fights against Maleficent's dragon form, she'll have Prince Phillip as an ally, as well as access to D-Links, Shotlocks, and Command Styles. It is important to realize that Aqua does not excel in physical attack, but she prefers to use magic to conquer foes. One should also take notice of the dragon's only weak point being its head and the fact that it only attacks the area directly in front of it. Thus, the player should use this to his or her advantage. So long as a hit-and-run strategy is used, minimal damage will be received.

At the start of the battle, the player should immediately Cartwheel over to the dragon's side, occasionally bombarding her with Thunder, Blizzard, and Fire magic. This will eventually activate the Spell Weaver Command Style, but Aqua will not have a need for its benefits. If the player finds that Aqua is too far away from the dragon, the gap can be closed with Barrier Surge or a similar attack. The Dragon may perform a biting combo, but this can be easily avoided with Cartwheel. If one finds themselves in the dragon's attack range, use Mine Square and immediately Cartwheel away. As the dragon will occasionally rear back and land to create twin, short-range shockwaves, she will take heavy damage as she lands on the mines while Aqua avoids taking damage completely!

Occasionally during the battle, the dragon will breathe her signature green fire. Prince Phillip calls out to Aqua, which is the signal to get behind him (he uses his shield to completely block the flames from damaging either of them). Once the flames begin to spawn on the ground, Phillip will throw Aqua over the flames to attack the dragon once the player activates the command "Selfless Prince" by pressing and then when the on-screen prompts appear which will cause Aqua to land on the dragon's head, stunning her. The player should then resume the hit-and-run strategy, only bombarding the dragon with magic attacks, physical attacks only when it is safe to do so. As her HP dwindles, the dragon will launch off the battlefield and begin to fly around the area. Pressing and again will allow Phillip to throw Aqua to the dragon's level, allowing a special attack to be landed. Aqua has a strong chance of landing on the dragon's back once this attack is completed, and it is now that she can attack the beast with physical attacks, such as the powerful Spell Weaver, if it is still activated. Magic can also be used to end the battle quickly. Note that while on the Dragon's back, enough attacks will cause her to fall to the ground stunned. The Dragon is not difficult to beat. If the player follows a hit-and-run strategy and sticks to magic attacks as recommended, as well as using the presence of Prince Phillip to his or her advantage, then she should fall with ease. An alternate strategy would be running behind Maleficent at the start of the battle. If one is well equipped with magic, all one needs to do is continually attack using magic without moving from behind the dragon. Here, it is basically impossible to sustain damage. Although a slower strategy, the constant use of magic, over and over from the point of safety behind the dragon is an equally effective method to easily defeat Maleficent.

Did a good job explaining that there, better than me anyway

Lol thank you, but all I did was copy and paste.

Haha! Still good though least you provided them with actual information all I said was to block her attacks haha!!

This title sounds domestic violency.

 

Basically no need to say since the walkthrough's been posted, but if you find you still have trouble try levelling up a bit or else getting more curagas equipped/the once more, second chance abilities

You cannot defeat me. 

I wouldn't panic. With fighting Maleficent it's mostly about focus, precision and patience. Perservere and you'll just wipe the floor with her almost unexpectedly after all the previous efforts. I feel your frustration as that fight in kh1 and Ven's last fight with Vanitas are the most aggravating kh fights in my opinion - funnily enough they really both have the same criteria for victory!

Yeah, lol but you got the ball rolling, I usually like fights with allies anyways.

Very nice!  But yeah, Maleficent took me a while to beat, too.  Another thing is if you get caught in the flames you can cartwheel until you reach safety--Aqua doesn't take damage when she's cartwheeling. (usually)
