The Boss:
Kurt Zisa is the other secret Heartless boss in Kingdom Hearts, and he is found in Agrabah. Overall he is quite difficult, but doesn't hold a candle to Sephiroth. He looks like a six handed Arab warrior, with a snake-head, holding two scimitars. His weak spot is the jewel in the snake's mouth
Getting to the battle:
After sealing the final keyhole enter Aladdin's house in Agrabah and talk to the magic carpet. He will fly you to the battle when you say Yes.
Preparations:
Your preparations should be much like with Phantom. Have at least scan, guard, dodge roll, second chance and leaf bracer included. Don't be stingy with elixirs and megalixirs. There's not many points where you need them after this battle, and if you die in battle you get them back. Include at least cure and aero in quick select
The battle:
The fight with Kurt Zisa contains 3 stages. These are
1) The physical fight: Kurt zisa uses and takes damage from Physical attacks. Magic is locked
2) Dealing damage: Kurt zisa is down and vulnerable to attack
3) The magic fight: Kurt zisa attacks and takes damage solely from magic.
The battle always begins with physical attacks. To get the heartless down you have to break the two orbs in it's hands. Kurt zisa mainly uses three moves. When he's really far away from you, he'll jump near to you. If his moderately far away he tries to close the distance with a damaging lunge. Use guard to prevent it from hitting you. When he is close he will use a wild spinning attack with his scimitars. Just get away from it with dodge roll and it will hit a maximum of one time. You may also try to guard it. That's slightly trickier but gives you a fast chance to retaliate. Overall this stage shouldn't be too difficult. Although he's hits deal a tremendous amount of damage they're quite slow so you should be able to heal yourself.
Once he's down there's not much more to do than keep on hitting him and maybe heal yourself if necessary. Kurt zisa will try to bite you but will unlikely be able to hit.
In the magic stage Kurt zisa will start floating around in a ball and using various ranged attacks. If you hit the ball, it will drop MP-bubbles. The easiest way to beat him down is by using summons. First time around use Mushu, second time Dumbo, third time (if it happens) Bambi. There most likely won't be a fourth round for him, but if it happens just use all the magic you can muster to him. When the heartless stands up after damage dealing stage try to quickly cast aero to yourself before you magic is locked again.
The second or possibly third time Kurt zisa enters the physical stage he will use a new attack. It's a spinning attack that can hit you multiple times and is really the only reason this heartless is so tough. I can't count the times this attack killed me when I first played this game as a child. There's really not much else you can do than trying to dodge him by dodge rolling or jumping over him and using elixir once he's finished. Guarding won't work so don't even try that.
If you survived his tornado attack you'll most likely beat him down in a next few turns. For a prize you gain an underwhelming amount of experience and a whole-lot-of-nothing (although in Final mix there's also a new Ansem report so that's nice.)
