Holey Moley

Holey Moley[edit]

"A hit-and-run menace that pokes out of the ceiling and walls, flinging stray objects your way or taking swipes with its claws."

Holey Moley is fought in Riku's version of the Country of the Musketeers.

During battle, Holey Moley is quite the nuisance.  He's not the hardest boss, but he likes to run away alot and has the ability to teleport across the battlefield any time you come near.  You can only get in a couple of strikes against him at times and he burrows, doing damage if you're too close, then teleports somewhere else. This gives you the ability to heal up though.  

Equip yourself with a couple healing spells and some ranged attack magic and he won't run away as you whittle the life gauge down from afar.  Or, hammer away, with flowmotion as you draw near, attacking with abilities and standard melee once you're close. 

Moley telegraphs his only major attacks by putting his scrawny arms above his head. When his arms rise, you can dodge away or try blocking, as he hurls objects at you. After you deplete his health bar, Holey Moley will be replaced by his four legs.  Destroy these and his head appears again, helpless for awhile as you beat up the poor guy.  His arms do reappear and then it's back to a fair battle.

After defeating Holey Moley, Riku will receive Shadow Slide and Shadow Strike abilities. After a short cutscene with Minnie Mouse, he also acquires the Keyblade, All For One.
