Mother Gothel’s Heartless Attacks
1) Jumping Headbutt
Mother Gothel’s Heartless jumps high then dives head-first at Sora and his allies. This deals a moderate amount of damage. After landing on the ground, the big heartless scatters pollen around.
2) Pollen Spray
Mother Gothel’s Heartless releases a cloud of pollen around itself. If Sora and company touch the pollen, they are reduced to sneezing and cannot attack for a short duration.
3) Acorn Bomb
The heartless climbs the tower and throws acorn bombs at Sora and company. Each bomb bounces around and explodes, dealing damage to anything it touches. More damage is dealt after it turns red. Since they are difficult to avoid in the air, it is best to move on the ground when the acorn bombs are used.
4) Assault
Mother Gothel’s Heartless readies itself and dives at Sora, dealing a good amount of damage. Since it is difficult to counterattack, even if you avoid it, it is best to dodge this attack and wait for it to open up for retaliation.

Crucial Attack Point
1) Dealing More Damage when Higher
