I beat Roxas...but he WON'T die! HELP!

[Having_Trouble 0]

Please help, I am completely lost, frustrated and want to give up on KH2 Final mix!!!

 

I arrived to the final world to confront Roxas and cannot win! I have killed him over a dozen times (completely draining his life), but he remains alive and very much interested in destroying me! Imagine that you are fighting this boss (which was challenging when I first attempted) and being so excited when you strike the final blow, completely draining his health, and NOTHING happens. He continues to fight me and fight me until I am out of potions and MP. I have literally fought him after his life had been completely drained, almost to the point that I would have hypothetically drained a whole 1+ health bars. I am only playing through the game on Normal (so it shouldn't be anything too ridiculous...right?) These are the things I have thought and/or tried:

 

-I thought, maybe I needed to level up, so I did that and I am currently level 51 which I know is much higher than needed.

-I am officially stuck as I have completed everything (and I mean EVERYTHING) in the other worlds. Which I know is not necessary because people say they leave some things/battles for when the acquire final form. 

-I have fought Roxas 'normally' and beat him, finishing him with a combo, finishing him with the reaction command. I know this seems ridiculous, since I have watched numerous tutorials on youtube that have shown people defeating Roxas with no need for special hits (but I am desperate). 

-I thought maybe the disc was corrupted so I tried another disc, but the same thing happened. 

-I don't know how this would make sense, but could it be the PS3?

-Someone's theory who I talked to was that the save file was corrupted, but others I speak to think that makes no sense since the only thing that doesn't seem to work is the battle ending (even though I kill him)! I have been able to complete everything else in the other worlds fine.

 

I have scoured the internet looking for anyone who has experienced this and I cannot find a single person or incident of this happening. I asked a local gaming store for help and they had not heard of this happening before. Many of the KH fans said that I needed to finish Roxas with a combo or special reaction move!! Which is frustrating as I have watched videos where they kill him without using a combo/reaction command.  

 

I would really appreciate any help as I am getting incredibly frustrated and my desire to play is slowly and unfortunately diminishing!!!

I have tried reflega and curb. I don't usually use a ton of magic when fighting. Most of the videos I watched only use reflega and curb though. I don't have any problem actually defeating him, but the battle doesn't end!

Try finishing him off with a thunder spell and see if that fixes it.

Use thundaga or one of the others.

Try removing some combo+ ability, in KH2 bosses will survive with one 1HP until you do a finishing move,the reflect spell works very well too if I remember correctly.

Finishing move

[dabestgamer 62]

In KH2(FM), you can only kill a boss with a finisher.

 

- Standard finisher, Guard Break, Explosion, Aerial Finish

- Abilties that count as a finisher: Finishing Leap, Upper Slash, Horizontal Slash

- Magic, except Cure and Magnet

- Most hits from most Limits

- Most hits from most Drive Forms (except Limit, standard finisher only unless using a Limit)

 

You may not have noticed, but this is how you've passed all the previous bosses up until this point.
