| A dark swarm of Shadows, stacked into a looming spire. The fact that its foul ilk has been seen not just in the realm of darkness but in the realm of light is surely a harbinger of some coming evil. |

Story[edit]
Kingdom Hearts 0.2 Birth by Sleep -A fragmentary passage-[edit]
Aqua first encounters a Demon Tower in the remains of theCastle of Dreams after activating five Gears to restore the bridge to the castle, and swiftly defeats it after a battle. Later, after her encounter withTerra andVentus in theForest of Thorns, she reunites withKing Mickey in the Depths of Darkness, where another Demon Tower ambushes the twoKeyblade Masters.
Kingdom Hearts III[edit]
A year later, Mickey andRiku trace Aqua's steps to theDark Margin, where they are attacked by a Demon Tower. During the ensuing fight, the Demon Tower swallows and spits out Riku, giving him a haircut in the process, and damages their Keyblades, forcing them to retreat to theMysterious Tower to restock on supplies.
When the two return,Anti-Aqua has another Demon Tower restrain Mickey before revealing herself to the two. She sends the Demon Tower to attack Riku, but withSora's help, Riku is able to destroy it.
At theKeyblade Graveyard as part of a final test for theGuardians of Light,Dark Riku summons a legion of Demon Towers followed by an army ofHeartless,Nobodies andUnversed.
Strategy[edit]
Kingdom Hearts 0.2 Birth by Sleep -A fragmentary passage-[edit]
The Demon Tower is encountered thrice in the game: the first in Castle Town, the second in the Depths of Darkness, and the third in a boss rush in the World Within. Despite the differences in health throughout the fights and King Mickey's presence in the second, all three fights play similarly. It only has a couple of attacks, indicated by the Shadows' eyes glowing red: one in which the Tower rams Aqua, which can be defended withBarrier, and another in which the Tower divides into the Shadows. When the Tower is separated, the Shadows can be attacked and destroyed.Shotlocks,Situation Commands, andmagic can help subdue the Tower quite quickly.
Kingdom Hearts III[edit]
The Demon Tower behaves much the same as inKingdom Hearts 0.2 Birth by Sleep -A fragmentary passage-. During the first fight, the player controls Riku and has Mickey as a party member. Riku cannot useFormchanges, but he can use theDouble DuelTeam Attack, theThundaga andCuraga spells, theThundaza Grand Magic Situation Command, and aHi-Potion andEther for items. If Mickey is knocked out in the fight, Riku can revive him withBarrier. When the Demon Tower's eyes turn red, prepare to use Barrier or dodge, then return to attacking when its eyes are yellow. After using Devil Dive it will follow up with Devil Rise, with the latter attack generating five Shadows that drop large HP prizes upon defeat.
During the second fight, the player still controls Riku. With Mickey incapacitated, Riku can no longer use Double Duel, but he can now useDark Firaga as a Grand Magic Situation Command. In this fight the Demon Tower is aided by Anti-Aqua, who will use the Phantom Dance attack after the Demon Tower uses Devil Rise. Once the Demon Tower is depleted to 1 HP, Riku is prompted to use theSora Situation Command to end the fight.
The Demon Tower can be fought again by accessingBattlegate #8 inMonstropolis. In this fight, it is flanked by severalFlame Cores, but it otherwise behaves the same way as the previous fights.
