Mission Walkthrough
After appearing in the Tram Common area of Twilight Town, Vexen will speak lowly to you about your duties, as in his nature. Your objective is to conduct recon for Twilight Town, which is examining various parts of the town to gather information about the world. When near a recon point, a "?" will appear above Roxas's head, and the Attack command shall become Examine. Heartless occasionally appear around recon points, which means they must be defeated first. When enough clues are found, Roxas will have a "breakthrough", in which he puts together the information he has found and makes assumptions based on his findings.

Start off around the southwest portion of the Tram Common, as there are recon points and the various shops, as well as on the dark-brick road. Upon examining all four, Vexen talks to Roxas about his findings, to see what he has found. To achieve a breakthrough, answer Vexen's questions with "There are a lot of shops" and "This could be the center of town".

Now, follow the dark road sound and examine the closed dour with a "4" above it. Then examine the locked door, staircase, and marricated hole leading to the woods, and the shuttered doorway in the northeast corner. This leads to another breakthrough that wills the Mission Gauge to the goal line. However, there are still a few more recon points around to fill the gauge completely, which rewards a Fire panel.
