Kingdom Hearts 2 Final Mix Anyone Who Says Marluxia Fight is Easy is a Liar
Kingdom Hearts 2 Wiki Guide
Absent Silhouettes
These emblems are introduced during the player's first visit Olympus, and lead to optional boss encounters with certain Organization XIII members.
There are 5 emblems in total and all must be cleared in order to unlock every data battle at the end of the Cavern of Remembrance.

Zexion
Location: Olympus Cave of the Dead, Inner Chamber
Bonuses: Item Slot +1 (Sora), Max HP Up (Donald), Damage Control (Goofy)
Rewards: Book of Shadows recipe, Lost Illusion
Zexion's offensive options are very limited outside his book so he'll start the battle by drawing your companions into the book, which you should destroy each time someone is trapped.
Doing so should prevent Sora from being a target for a good while but Zexion will eventually turn his attention to you. Once you're inside the book, you must find which book Zexion is hiding in and attack him. Once you get his health down to nothing, hit the reaction command to escape from the book.
This leaves Zexion stunned for some time giving you an opportunity to get some good combos in. The best way to keep safe while in the book is to use Donald's Comet (Fantasia) limit. It should grant invincibility long enough for you to find and defeat Zexion to get out of the book.
Vexen
advertisement
Location: Agrabah, Peddler's Shop
Bonuses: Armor Slot +1 (Sora), Max HP Up (Donald and Goofy)
Rewards: Road to Discovery recipe, Lost Illusion
This should be quick as long as you avoid standing on the Heartless emblem that follows Sora around throughout the encounter.
The emblem powers Vexen up by allowing him to copy your data, so he should remain weak if you can stir clear of it as much as you can.
Destroy Vexen's shield first and start hitting him with combos. You can land two complete combos on him each time his shield is destroyed, so this battle should not last long.
Larxene
Location: Port Royal Isla de Muerta, Rock Face
Bonuses: Max MP Up (Sora), Item Slot +1 (Donald), Max HP Up (Goofy)
Rewards: Cloaked Thunder recipe, Lost Illusion
advertisement
For this battle, consider putting on gear that boosts Sora's resistance to lightning. Larxene is fast and it's quite easy to find yourself trapped in one of her extensive combos.
Fortunately, most of her attacks are blockable with Reflect, which can then be sent back to her for really good damage.
Also if you are able to deal damage to both Larxene and her clone at once, a reaction command can be triggered to merge them together. This leaves Larxene wide open for your best combos.
Lexaeus
Location: Twilight Town, Sandlot
Bonuses: Accessory Slot +1 (Sora), Max HP Up (Donald), Item Slot +1 (Goofy)
Rewards: Strength Beyond Strength recipe, Lost Illusion
It's immediately clear when you see this boss that he isn't very agile but more than makes up for it in strength. First thing you should know is a reaction command can be triggered by blocking his sword attack either by Reflect or the keyblade.

The resulting special move does really good damage and leaves your opponent stunned for additional combos. As for his earth abilities, most of them are blockable with Reflect.
Once Lexaeus' power value reaches 60,000 or higher, he will fly off and perform a diving attack that pretty much covers the entire battle area. It is difficult to avoid this move completely so use Donald's Comet limit to protect yourself just as he prepares to dive. You can then continue attacking Lexaeus once he's back within reach until he's defeated.
Marluxia
Location: Beast's Castle, Beast's Room
Bonuses: Drive Gauge +1 (Sora), Max HP Up (Donald), Max HP Up (Goofy)
Rewards: Eternal Blossom recipe, Lost Illusion
This is where things get a bit complicated. The battle starts with Marluxia casting Doom on Sora. From there, the counter above Sora's head will decrease each time he takes damage and the game ends when that counter hits 0. In addition Marluxia also has attacks that depletes your HP which we will discuss later.
advertisement
You can block Marluxia's regular combos with the keyblade or with Reflect as usual. The opportunity to trigger a reaction command comes at the end of your opponent's combo. This stuns Marluxia for a bit and restores your Doom count as well.
Once he receives enough damage, Marluxia starts teleporting to the middle of the field to summon pools of darkness. Thorns will come up from the ground if you happen to step on these pools, which in turn takes away a good chunk of your HP. Fortunately, there are safe spots on the field that you can stand on and wait for him to dash towards you. Block his attack then counter with a full combo.
It is also possible to prevent this big move by anticipating when Marluxia will teleport to the middle of the field. Wait for him there and start spamming Firaga before he appears. If done right, you should be able to loop him with Firaga and full keyblade combos until the battle enters it's final phase.
At this point, Marluxia will hover in the air and follow Sora while sending dark pillars up from the ground. Run around to avoid these and attack him as soon as he is back on the ground. Marluxia will use a combination of his arsenal from the first and second phases after this. So just respond accordingly until you defeat him.
