Ok for people who struggling, make sure to pack some fire based cards and some healing magic. Start off by attacking when HE'S attacking. So wait until he plays a card and make sure to counter it with a attack or you won't get a hit in at all. For ice moves: when hes about to freeze you, look at how his arms getting ready. Right before he moves his arm, dodge roll to avoid getting trapped in the ice.
I agree I get about 3/4 of zexens health taken out and then he defeats me. Update: I finally defeated him both times, fire magic, dodge roll and a whole lot of physical attacks helped, Lethal Frame is your best friend with this boss fight.
@@robertdelrosario8080idk what weird sleight luck I had, but somehow I just ate through him, forgot to save, and then got killed by larxene on my first playthrough.
@@goergebobicles1351 I'm so sorry about that. If I recall, you don't get to save just after beating Riku before facing Larxene. I quit Chain of Memories because of Riku's stupidly OP attack and watched a walkthrough on how the game ended.
This was the fight which finally taught me the purpose of 0 cards lol, I knew they were important but I could never figure out why... Turns out they helped me massively by breaking most his sleights. ALSO SCREW THIS FIGHT IT TOOK ME WAY TOO LONG
I know the feeling, I've beaten R:COM a few weeks ago and this boss fight in particular gives me freaking PTSD lmao, if you're still stuck with him, bring three or more 0 cards to counter every sleight he throws at you, that's how I managed to beat him.
@@martinb5734 Yep. I did that and spammed the Sonic Blade sleight. It makes ground meat out of bosses. I just needed to move the story along. Thank goodness the story is interesting.
I actually had to go back, level up, learn some OP sleight I've ignored previously, finally understood the importance of sleight, then I fought this guy.. before that, I got my behind handed me repeatedly...
That’s where I’m at too. I was just prioritizing CP over sleights and everyone keeps saying you have to get sleights to beat the higher bosses…. I’m learning my lesson.
If you can’t beat ‘em, cheese em. Constantly, and I mean CONSTANTLY spam sonic blade. Have 3 hi-potion cards to reload, and vexen can’t do a thing about it. He may try to hit you with ice needles maybe, just glide over it.
how much better is sonic blade over thunder raid ¿ thunder raid carried me through pretty much the whole game but im curious to see if sonic blade is better
@@GermanDragon221 yep. It works. You just need to time it right and watch how his hand moves. For twilight Town, during the big sword move, use glide to avoid the first 2 hits before he hits the ground.
Okay so I recently got into the KH series and I was going through this game and this boss is a BITCH. I couldn't beat it till I found this video and my suggestion is, use. Sonic. Blade. Literally the best attack against him if you have the CP for it (I had 733 CP used but I had a total of 750 available) I basically just kept spamming sonic blade till I ran out of key and used hi-potions and rinsed and repeated till he was dead and honestly it worked a little too well. I hope that if someone sees this comment I hope it helps then because this boss is so unforgiving.
I beat Vexen, and I see that shield ice he can moves then he stop moving his arms up and before ice will trap inside sora get freeze I have to dodge roll. Then I don't use Donald magic card ice but I use goofy tornado level 3 card hit that Vexen I have four card left run out I finally I beat him.
You can dodge his frozen attack. Do not ever use sleights unless you really need to. Wait until he plays a card then hit him before he finishes. Make sure your AC range is 6-9. Or 7-9 totaling 30 or 35 cards.
Piece of trash boss, smoked him with Lethal Frame and Firaga after several attempts, part of it is luck I swear Edit (post-2nd fight in Twilight): Literally this dude is so cheesable now. I made a deck with 3 "0" cards as safety to break his sleights. The rest of my deck was Fire. Spam Firaga from a distance, yet look towards him so it homes in from afar. Then use Mega-Ethers (and Cure if need be) to recharge your Fires.

I love you man
Thank you for your advice🙏🏻
It was so so helpful and I could defeat him
god this fight is so unnecessarily brutal

I started out on beginners mode because I just wanted to enjoy the story and this is literally one of the hardest bosses I’ve ever fought.
4th Phase Riku and his stupid OP attack still has me in pain to this day.

I’m on year three with no victory
My usual tactic of spamming Y didn't work
This fight is crushing my will.
same i’ve been stuck for days on it

I don't use sleights much personally.
I've got much better cards but still... He keeps breaking them like a fucking toy. I can't...
Vexen , already as a shielder before it becomes very popular and the apex of all weapons (it’s not) in the recent times.
Pavisser, technically

You can dodge his freeze move by pressing square by the time he moves his hand.
Serious?
@@GermanDragon221 yep. It works. You just need to time it right and watch how his hand moves. For twilight Town, during the big sword move, use glide to avoid the first 2 hits before he hits the ground.
@@Brand-pn5yz nah, I dodge rolled the first, he misses the second since he is far away, then dodge roll the final strike.
I feel a little strange fighting Vexen when he’s voice actor is the the same one who played takaya (Persona 3 antagonist)
Well, that will make it more satisfying for me when I eventually beat vexen (revenge for shinjiro)
Sora learns Freeze.
T'Challa: 'I never freeze'
Vexen definitely had the best voice acting in this game

It worked, I love you so much, thank you
That won’t work on Proud Mode.
Brutal fuck, I can't beat him
Cause if this boss fight I just skipped re chain of memories and go to 358/2 days
I swear, Vexen reminds me so much of Takaya from P3...
Same voice actor
@@darkdoge1333 what about Uryu Ishida from dub of bleach?
@@themaskedlucas Never heard, really...Vexen kinda creeps me out with his bony looking face...
@@themaskedlucas same voice actor too. Check out Derek Stephen Prince
@@darkdoge1333 Yea, I'm aware. He also did Fuyuhiko and Kokichi in Danganronpa 2 and V3.
“I shall freeze you!”
I beat Vexen, and I see that shield ice he can moves then he stop moving his arms up and before ice will trap inside sora get freeze I have to dodge roll. Then I don't use Donald magic card ice but I use goofy tornado level 3 card hit that Vexen I have four card left run out I finally I beat him.
I was raging so hard with this boss. Had to go back, grind and then assemble a deck which allowed me to spam sonic blade through the whole fight.
That tactic works with every boss all the way to the last one who can fly. That one brought back the rage.
How do you clear a slate you have queued up and send the cards back to your hand?
If you go into settings to change the controls, it should tell you.
L2
Make sure to pack magic cards! You should be good if you use fire and lightning
I found him harder than I did in the original. Then again, I was overleveled in the original.
He somehow stopped my cards from respawning WTF
The first card you use in a sleight can not reappear unless if you use a hi potion or elixir
*HERE YOU GO*
*I SHALL FREEZE YOU*
*TASTE THIS*
*HAHAHAHHAHAAAA*
*DAAAAHHHHH*
YOU ARE PUSHING IT
YOU IMBECILE
i kinda miss the psychotic laugh he does in the GBA version lol.
So I figured i need stronger cards and more mp as well so im going to the lower levels to train and get more special cards
I broke my controller over him had to repair it then I beat him bearly I feel old too Way to many attempts than before on ps3
This fight is Riku Ansem levels of cheese
I think riku ansem in this game is SO SO SO MUCH WORSE
This boss fight is the reason i stopped playing this game when I was 9 I’m 22 now
Can you hit him from the front? Or is it like the gba
Axel: Fire element
Larxene: Lightning element
Vexen: Ice element
Tu devi essere quello sveglio della famiglia
My deck for this fight consisted of nothing but 0's and 9's. And I just kept reloading LOLOL
Hey i know how you can defeat him to not loose red nocturne in your deck use item cards to get all back or you can use xigbar card
Any advice for this boss ?
You can dodge his frozen attack. Do not ever use sleights unless you really need to. Wait until he plays a card then hit him before he finishes. Make sure your AC range is 6-9. Or 7-9 totaling 30 or 35 cards.
Get as much sonic blades with zero's in-between each sonic blade sleight, also have 3 cures and 3 Hi-Potions to get all your attack cards back
@@ammonahwong9994 Thanks , I already beat him
How did you use just only 2 card combo
I stack two cards then push triangle.
you have to stack two cards then press L1 + R1
Ah ok.
No Good
Help me my game crashes right before vexen boss fight so I can never beat rhom HELP ME AT 0:05
It's probably a scratch in the disc.
Did you save?
Or was it an error screen then closes?
GG
Piece of trash boss, smoked him with Lethal Frame and Firaga after several attempts, part of it is luck I swear
Edit (post-2nd fight in Twilight): Literally this dude is so cheesable now.

Spam Firaga from a distance, yet look towards him so it homes in from afar.
Then use Mega-Ethers (and Cure if need be) to recharge your Fires.
