yeah, you should be careful whenever he gets those lightning fists. I'm not sure about this, but I think those lightning fists become permanent when his hp is running out. This happened when i played as riku, but it didn't happen when i played as sora. That could be because i just finished him faster or something. Either way, use Dark Roll, i was able to dodge almost all of his attacks with it, but try not to use that sonic impact thing (that 2nd dodge after the dark roll) cuz you can get hit during the sonic impact. Pretty much the same dodge method a lot of people used against the Mysterious Figure in Birth By Sleep, but Julius is a lot easier than that As for him disabling your commands,they're not too bad, so long a it doesn't happen to all your healing spells. If that happens, well... Good luck! haha

after you beat the game, the secret portals will be in the area where you fought each of the bosses. They're not hard to find at all and they're always available to open too.

tough luck buddy, in that situation you can only explore Fountain Plaza after beating Julius, and you can check the hole where he came from if you want a rematch too.Trust me, the guy's not that hard just be prepared. Most of his attacks are predictable, eventually you just know how to dodge them, and just land a command or two on him, bring 2 healing spells with you, take hi-potions along if you want. The commands i used to beat him with Riku were simple, really. Curaga,Cura,Hi-Potion,Shadowbreaker,Thunder dash, Prism Windmill,Blizzard Edge and Spark Dive. The commands i used with sora were similar, but i took out the Hi-potion and the Spark Dive for the Ars Arcanum, i just love that attack Make sure to stock on Attack Boost if you wanna take out his hp faster, some Magic Haste to speed up the healing spells' cooldown and hp boost, cuz those are always good haha Second chance and once more are a must. That's about it, hope i helped ^^
