The Onion Knight is on his ongoing journey together with Terra.
As he arrives at a land in the far west, he does not question the path he has takes...

Introduction

Chapter two, titled Wisdom or Courage?, is a retelling of Destiny Odyssey III in the Story Mode of Dissidia 012 Final Fantasy. This chapter features the Onion Knight.

Story[]

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow. (Skip section)

The Onion Knight is traveling with Terra in search of their crystals, providing her with advice on fighting Chaos' forces in spite of Terra's hesitations. When the two meet Exdeath, the Onion Knight talks him into letting them go, intimidated by Exdeath's power. Exdeath tells him cowards cannot find their Crystals and leaves. Terra questions the Onion Knight's choice to avoid fighting, but he tells her he doesn't fight opponents he can't defeat, and doing so would be reckless, not courageous. Newly inspired to find his Crystal and prove Exdeath wrong, he and Terra continue to follow a powerful presence she senses.

When they reach the source of the presence the two find nothing, and Terra suddenly loses control of her powers and attacks the Onion Knight. He fights her to try and calm her down, but when she is weakened she is spirited away by the Cloud of Darkness. The Cloud of Darkness berates the Onion Knight for his recklessness and ignoring Terra's hesitations about their journey, and now Terra shall be used as a tool of war by her.

Cosmos appears before the Onion Knight to tell him of Terra's fate, and he worries he cannot save her as he cannot defeat the Cloud of Darkness and refuses to fight enemies he cannot defeat. He asks Cosmos to tell him where to find his Crystal so he can become strong enough to save Terra. Cosmos replies that it is his choice to avoid fighting if he wishes, but asks if that is truly his desire, and leaves. Golbez approaches and tells the Onion Knight he is too weak to defeat the Cloud of Darkness, and his decision to avoid such a battle is wise. Noting his hesitation, Golbez asks if the Onion Knight doubts this and tells him to listen to his heart if not his head.

The Onion Knight comes up with a new plan and tracks down the Cloud of Darkness, Terra collapsed and weakened before her. The Onion Knight swears loyalty to the Cloud of Darkness if she lets Terra go, but it is only a distraction to get close to Terra and defend her. The Onion Knight repeats that he doesn't fight opponents he can't beat, but knows in his heart he is strong enough to win. The two battle and Onion Knight is victorious. The Cloud of Darkness fades, and Golbez reappears. The Onion Knight refuses to let him hurt Terra, and his determination to defend her causes his Crystal to appear. Golbez vanishes, and Onion Knight collapses next to Terra, exhausted by his battle.

Use a Straight Chain at B3 to chain all of the enemies. Many enemies throughout the storyline carry multiple Boosters with a Hyper Ring, resulting in their damage output greatly increasing when they are at critical health. A safe method to deal with such enemies is to try and kill them in a single, stronger blow so they don't reach that point. Assist combos with Terra are helpful to rack up enough Bravery to accomplish this task.
