Only one Twilight Thorn appears, when [[Roxas]] goes to the [[Station of Awakening]]. When Roxas senses a presence and turns around to see who it is, he sees a figure wearing a [[Organization XIII#Dress|black cloak]], before it transforms into the Twilight Thorn, just as in Sora's own [[Dive to the Heart]], he turned to see a [[Shadow Sora]] which became a [[Darkside]].
The Twilight Thorn shares, due to its place of appearance, size, and place in the story.

Since the player battles the Twilight Thorn as Roxas, they will not receive its journal entry until they enter the [[Simulated Twilight Town]] as [[Sora]].

Only attack its head, as that is the only weak point. It begins by tossing Roxas into the air to hurt him - use the [[Reaction Command]]s at the right time - '''Key Counter''' and '''Lunarsault''' in particular. Then follow up with '''Break Raid''', when on the ground do a combo. It will get up and begin to spam Tendrils of Darkness.

Line 42: Line 43:
When it fires thorns use the Reaction Command, '''Reversal''' to get close to attack. But if it continuously fires thorns, even if you are close to its head, prioritize safety. Keep on using '''Reversal''' until it is safe to attack. The Twilight Thorn has a tendency to shift its shape, and sometimes you may see it upside down. Again, it will fire thorns. Keep on using '''Reversal''', then attack his head twice and begin avoiding again.

When on low health it will summon [[Creeper]]s to fight. Avoid the Creepers and continue to attack.

As the fight with Twilight Thorn takes place at the beginning of the game and Roxas' stats are low, it is advisable to train him up to at least Level 5 and stock up more than three Potions. Use the '''Auto-Reload''' function and heal when necessary - because poor evasion of the thorns can take a toll on Roxas's health.

==Trivia==
*The Twilight Thorn battle shares many similarities with Darkside, a gigantic [[Heartless]]. Both appear in Roxas and Sora's Awakenings, respectively, and are the first bosses of the game. Their Japanese names, ''[[wikipedia:The Twilight Zone|Twilight Zone]]'' and ''[[wikipedia:Tales from the Darkside|Darkside]]'', are both science-fiction horror serials.
