Story summary

Roxas embarks on another solo mission, this time in Twilight Town to defeat a mysterious flying creature known as the Tailbunker.

Mission walkthrough

Head from the Station Plaza down through Station Heights to the Tram Common. Be wary, because the Poison Plants from Mission 12 are back, this time as regular Heartless. Make sure you take a short detour to the Sandlot entrance, as a Bulky Vendor lies in wait, ready to drop treasure for you.

Once you enter the Tram Common, the boss battle with the Tailbunker immediately starts. Be wary as you move around the common, as certain areas trigger Minute Bombs to deal further damage to you. Once finished, you can explore the area for chests and badges before you RTC.

Challenge Mission 17SP Don't miss with attacks!
Restrictions
No attack magic Take 30% more damage Enemy level +18
Grading
3	0 misses
2	1-3 misses
1	4-10 misses

Without attack magic, you will be restricted to close combat. Take your time, and avoid using extended combos, as the Tailbunker will periodically fly off. You will be more vulnerable to damage, so avoid combat with other enemies and take care to avoid the Tailbunker's attacks. Bring along plenty of recovery items. Remember Limit Breaks can help as their attacks do not count as misses.
