Dusk: Difference between revisions

{{Q|We have come for you, my liege.|A Dusk to Roxas}}

Dusks are sent into the [[Simulated Twilight Town]] to bring back [[Roxas]], but due to DiZ wiping his memory of his time in the Organization, Roxas instead fights them off along with several [[Creeper]]s and [[Twilight Thorn]]. One Dusk poses as the virtual [[Vivi]], summoning its comrades when the [[Struggle]] match freezes.

[[Yen Sid]] later shows three Dusks holograms when explaining the existence of Nobodies to [[Sora]], [[Donald]], and Goofy.

During the [[Battle of the 1000 Heartless]], Dusk fight against [[Armored Knight]] Heartless. However, once Maleficent orders them to focus on Sora, Donald and Goofy, the Dusks team up with them. [[Saïx]] summons some Dusks to take out a small battalion of [[Soldier]]s summoned by Maleficent. They then pin Maleficent to the ground, forcing her to flee through a [[Corridor of Darkness]].

When Sora, Donald, and Goofy initially arrive in [[Twilight Town]] and discuss Roxas, several Dusks appear, asking if he seeks "[their] liege". Later, [[Xemnas]] summons several Dusks outside the Old Mansion in order to supplement the Neoshadows summoned by [[Ansem, Seeker of Darkness]].

When [[Ansem the Wise]] is brought to Twilight Town, [[Hayner]], [[Pence]], and [[Olette]] attack the Seeker of Darkness. [[Vexen]] sends several Dusks to aid them, with one cushioning Hayner's fall when the [[Dark Figure]] throws him at the wall surrounding the Old Mansion.

A Dusk has a thin, sinuous body that is capable of dumbfounding feats of flexibility. It has a large, cylindrical head with a flat top that is emblazoned with the Nobody symbol. Its body seems to be covered in a light grey jumpsuit, and its "mouth" is actually a zipper that undoes itself to reveal its actual, grey, sharp-toothed mouth underneath. It appears to be fairly muscular, though its arms and legs are very thin. The sides of its body are lined by a black line, which pulses weakly with light. Its feet and hands are pointed and lack digits, and its hands each sport two black bands around them.

Dusks are fairly weak and require little strategy, but can be a bit troublesome in large groups at the beginning of the game, especially when paired with the [[Creeper]] Nobody. The Reversal reaction command can help as it stuns the Dusk and any surrounding Dusks and Creepers. However, although this strategy works well playing as [[Roxas]] (because of the shorter combos), when at high levels, they can eliminated with ease. Reversal can also be used to avoid other Nobodies as they normally appear with others. Also, fire magic and thunder magic can help greatly when playing as [[Sora]] in case they surround him.  

Dusks have a similar attack pattern as in ''Kingdom Hearts II'', except Reversal is unavailable. They can be very easily dealt with using Formchanges like [[Blizzard Claws]] and [[Blizzard Blades]], which exclusively deal Blizzard damage (which Dusks are weak to) and bypass their Revenge Value, which only increases when being attacked by Physical attacks.

One particular Dusk develops a fascination with Xion, as she was the only member to treat it with kindness. It later perishes after trying to "slow down" Riku under Saïx's orders before leaving behind {{w|Aster tataricus}} flowers for Xion, a reference to the meaning of her name.{{?}}<!--Cite the chapters the relationship with the Dusk is shown and when it dies and leaves the flowers for Xion-->

*Dusks are the first common enemy to be specifically mentioned outside of [[Jiminy's Journal]]; in this case, they are referred to as such by Axel and [[Yen Sid]].
