Oh for the love of god help me.

I am fighting Final Vanitas but when i get up to the d-link part you have to rotate the analog stick, well my analog stick is fucked and drifts so its basically nearly impossible to finish him. Is there an alternate way to beat vanitas in d-link mode?

 

[SHIROKAME]

I know my analog was busted and it was hard for me too,but I still managed to beat him(even though it pintched a LOT) and no there is no alternate way.

I am inspired by your words, did your analog only move in one direction or a few more? Mine moved in one and i had to move the camera just to get somewhere. So gripping the little black part of the analog stick and moving it is the option? Ill try that.

EDIT: ITS IMPOSSIBLE HE DOESNT MOVE AN INCH WHEN I ROTATE! DDDDDD:

EDITDOUBLE: Found smooth analog stick top. I NEARLY GOT HIM BUT IT SLIPPED OFF! >@@

AHAHAHAHAHAHAH I WON YOU LOSE VANITAS!
I found out i had to just wiggle the bottom right part of my stick and easy victory

Yes, there is an alternate way, using the shotlock instead of "Dark Spiral" makes it so you have to mash X instead of rotating the analog stick.

This. You can actually continue using this immediately after the first chance, until you run out of Focus, anyway, but after 3-4, the Finisher gauge should fill up.
