The Final Episode is unlocked after completing the individual stories for Terra, Ventus, and Aqua. They can be completed in any order. The Final Episode continues directly from the end of Aqua"s story, with you continuing to play as her.

The Aqua you control is the same one that finished her story; the same Command Decks, Keyblades, Items, etc. Thankfully, you can continue to earn experience and Meld Commands throughout the Final Episode. Just remember that you can"t bring anything backward.
The episode begins with Aqua hiding Ven"s body in The Land of Departure, then setting out to look for Terra. She receives the Brightcrest Keyblade right before returning to the World Map. While you can travel to any World, your goal is Radiant Garden, where Aqua is immediately thrown into a boss battle.
Boss: Terra-Xehanort
You"ve already fought this enemy, at the end of Terra"s Story, so hopefully, you remember that battle. This version of Terranort is considerably stronger, however, and you are playing as an entirely different character.For a quick refresher: he has a long multi-hit attack, can dive into the ground like Vanitas, frequently uses the Dark Impulse Command Style and Dark Volley Shotlock, and will occasionally heal with Cure. As the fight goes on, he will start to use more powerful Commands, such as Meteor.Terranort is extremely aggressive, so you want to be on top of your defensive game. Aqua"s Barrier blocks attacks from all directions, and the standard Cartwheel Movement Command makes her completely invulnerable. Keep moving and wait for the right time to strike.Reflecting the Dark Volley is the best way to get guaranteed damage, as Terranort will avoid stagger from most other attacks. The various Surge Commands do well here, as they do throughout the game. Shotlocks can be effective if they are leveled up significantly but be prepared for Terranort to avoid several of the hits.Emptying Terranort"s health bar brings you to Phase 2, where he summons the Guardian. Terranort has all the same abilities as before, but with a selection of new abilities. These include two waves of energy along the ground that cannot be blocked with Barrier and dual Dark Firagas. If you stay close enough to Terranort, the Guardian will charge out and grab Aqua, holding onto her long enough for Terranort to walk up and begin his main attack.The Guardian can dive into the ground, erupting out and grabbing Aqua before dropping her from the sky. This doesn"t do too much damage but can waste valuable time in the animation to get back up. This is the only time where a Shotlock is useful. The Guardian will always move Terranort out of the way, but using it here not only deals damage but prevents Aqua from taking damage from the Guardian. This technique is really only useful on high-level Shotlocks, as the low-level ones take too long to charge.Get through enough of the fight to see the battle arena change to a soft yellow glow. The Guardian will be attacking with dual Dark Firagas, blocking Aqua from getting to Terra. Get around the Guardian and stand in the light next to Terra for a unison attack.
There will be several scenes after the fight, showing an amnesiac Xehanort meeting Ansem the Wise, Vent"s heart connecting with Sora, and Aqua lost to darkness. With the Final Episode complete, you will see another run of credits, featuring clips from all three character"s stories, as well as various epilogues for other characters.
You will unlock an Achievement.
