If only Dharkon is defeated during the Final Battle, Galeem turns into a black hole again and engulfs the fighters in a bright light. Galeem takes over the entire universe again.
If only Dharkon is defeated during the Final Battle, Galeem turns into a black hole again and engulfs the fighters in a bright light. Galeem takes over the entire universe again.


If both Galeem and Dharkon are confronted in the [[Final stage (World of Light)|final stage]], following Master Hand and Crazy Hand being freed from control and conquering the battlefield, the pair continue to battle each other along with their puppet fighters and bosses before turning their attention to the fighters in a three-way battle. Once both Dharkon and Galeem are finally defeated, they fall into the sea and explode, freeing all the spirits from their control.

Note that many attacks' characteristics, such as a number of projectiles fired, vary depending on both Dharkon's health, which battles it is and the difficulty of World of Light. Also, certain attacks are never used in certain battles.

During the final battle with Galeem and [[Dharkon]], both bosses will target both the player and each other, and are capable of dealing damage to each other; if one is stunned, the other will seize the opportunity to take a potshot. Regardless, only the player can deal the final blow.
During the final battle with [[Galeem]] and Dharkon, both bosses will deliberately target the player. However, owing to their status as mortal enemies, they can also damage each other; if one is stunned, the other will seize the opportunity to take a potshot. Regardless, only the player can deal the final blow.

|-
|Centipede ({{ja|ムカデ|Mukade}})|| ||One of Dharkon's tentacles snakes around the arena while coated in dark energy, attempting to damage the player, with his eye trailing behind it. It will use a longer tentacle at low health, making it harder to avoid.
|Crushing Shade|| ||If Galeem is stunned, Dharkon turns his tentacles into a hammer that attacks Galeem's core and deals significant damage. The player will also be damaged if too close and got [[Bury|buried]], who will remain submerged longer if the opponent has already dealt a fair amount of damage.
|-
|-
|Torrent of Darkness ({{ja|闇の奔流|Yami no Honryū}})|| ||Dharkon covers two sides of the screen with wave-shaped lines of darkness that provide a small, ever-shifting gap of safety between them. The fighter will rapidly take damage upon touching the lines. This attack goes through shields. If Galeem is present, each will contribute one wave to the attack. If Galeem is stunned, only the bottom of the screen is covered.
|Electric Serpent|| ||One of Dharkon's tentacles snakes around the arena while coated in dark energy, attempting to damage the player, with his eye trailing behind it. It will use a longer tentacle at low health, making it harder to avoid.
|-
|-
|Pillar of Darkness ({{ja|闇の柱|Yami no Hashira}})|| ||Dharkon creates beams of darkness that erupt from the ground. The beams reach very far vertically, meaning the player could potentially be [[KO]]'d through the upper [[blast line]] by them if they aren't careful. This attack is never used during his first battle, however.
|Photonic Wave|| ||Dharkon covers two sides of the screen with wave-shaped lines of darkness that provide a small, ever-shifting gap of safety between them. The fighter will rapidly take damage upon touching the lines. This attack goes through shields. If Galeem is present, each will contribute one wave to the attack. If Galeem is stunned, only the bottom of the screen is covered.
|-
|-
|Dark Fighter ({{ja|闇のファイター|Yami no Faitā}})|| ||Dharkon vanishes and his tentacles expand, producing two or three dark [[false character]]s to support him, which eventually self-destruct after a period of time and can inflict damage when they do so. If Galeem's false characters are present, they will fight each other.
|Shadow Eruption|| ||Dharkon creates beams of darkness that erupt from the ground. This attack is never used during his first battle.
|-
|-
|Transdimensional Rush ({{ja|異空間突進|Ikūkan Tosshin}})|| ||Dharkon sends his tentacles through a series of portals, dealing damage as the tentacles pass by at multiple angles. His eye will hover in the middle of the stage.  
|Shadow Shape|| ||Dharkon vanishes and his tentacles expand, producing two or three dark [[false character]]s to support him, which eventually self-destruct after a period of time and can inflict damage when they do so. If light false characters are present, they will fight each other.
|-
|-
|Pierce ({{ja|突き刺す|Tsukisasu}})|| ||Dharkon uses three to five of his tentacles to attack the player one after another. Dharkon's eye is exposed when the last tentacle strikes. This attack is never used during the first fight with Dharkon.
|Tangled Rush|| ||Dharkon sends his tentacles through a series of portals, dealing damage as the tentacles pass by at multiple angles. His eye will hover in the middle of the stage.  
|-
|-
|Gatling ({{ja|ガトリング|Gatoringu}})|| ||Dharkon shoots a barrage of small energy bullets from the top left corner of the screen. These do negligible damage from far away (shielding all of it while standing on the right of the stage is possible) but massive damage if the player tries to get close to Dharkon. If Dharkon has taken enough damage, it will end the barrage with a larger, more powerful blast. Neither type of projectile can be reflected, as these are actually disjointed hitboxes, similar to the [[Tabuu]]'s Tabuu Shot.
|Tentacle Pierce|| ||Dharkon uses three to five of his tentacles to attack the player one after another. Dharkon's eye is exposed when the last tentacle strikes. This attack is never used during the first fight with Dharkon.
|-
|-
|Tear Apart ({{ja|引き裂く|Hikisaku}})|| ||Dharkon performs a damaging slash that rips a large red line across the screen. The resulting line, which lingers for a while, will cause the player to be slowed while inside it. At low health (after the first fight), it creates two red lines in an "X" shape instead.
|Thorn Spray|| ||Dharkon shoots a barrage of small energy bullets from the top left corner of the screen. These do negligible damage from far away (shielding all of it while standing on the right of the stage is possible) but massive damage if the player tries to get close to Dharkon. If Dharkon has taken enough damage, it will end the barrage with a larger, more powerful blast. Neither type of projectile can be reflected, as these are actually disjointed hitboxes, similar to the [[Sheriff]]'s bullets.
|-
|-
|Time Bomb: X-Type ({{ja|時限爆弾X字タイプ|Jigen Bakudan Ekkusu-ji Taipu}})|| ||Dharkon creates three to six small objects that explode in X-shaped beams of darkness like [[X Bomb]]s. These can be destroyed before their detonation to stop the attack. Dharkon is likely to create more in his second phase.
|Temporal Rift|| ||Dharkon performs a damaging slash that rips a large red line across the screen. The resulting line, which lingers for a while, will cause the player to be slowed while inside it. At low health (after the first fight), it creates two red lines in an "X" shape instead.
|-

||| ||If Galeem is stunned, Dharkon turns his tentacles into a hammer that crushes Galeem's core and deals significant damage. The player will also be damaged if they come too close, along with being [[Bury|buried]], remaining submerged longer if they sustained a fair amount of damage earlier.
|X Bomb|| ||Dharkon creates three to six small objects that explode in X-shaped beams of darkness like [[X Bomb]]s. These can be destroyed before their detonation to stop the attack. Dharkon is likely to create more in his second phase.

*Dharkon's appearance of being an organic mass of tentacles resembles {{s|wikipedia|Azathoth}}, a being featured in the Cthulhu mythos.
