Only one Twilight Thorn appears, when [[Roxas]] goes to the [[Dive to the Heart]]. When Roxas senses a presence and turns around to see who it is, he briefly sees a figure wearing a [[Black Coat|black coat]] before it transforms into the Twilight Thorn, just as Sora, in his own [[Dive to the Heart]], turned to see a [[Shadow Sora]] which became a [[Darkside]]. | Only one Twilight Thorn appears, when [[Roxas]] goes to the [[Dive to the Heart]].

It begins the fight with an attack pattern consisting of '''Combo Punch''', '''Toss Up''', and '''Light Ball'''—use the [[Reaction Command]]s at the right time—'''Key Counter''' and '''Lunarsault''' followed up with '''Break Raid'''; when on the ground, perform a combo. At 50% HP, it repeats this attack pattern. Afterwards, it will get up and begin to use its thorn attacks. | ||
When it fires thorns, use the Reaction Command, '''Reversal''' to get close to attack. But if it continuously fires thorns, even if Roxas is 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 it may be upside down. Again, it will fire thorns. Keep on using Reversal, then attack his head twice and begin avoiding again. | |||
Sometimes, [[Creeper]]s will appear. If Roxas is low on health, it is advised to target them as they have little health and drop large HP orbs. | |||
Although it is likely that the battle will be won before the second Reaction Command section has passed, if it does continue for longer, the Twilight Thorn will try to unleash a dangerous attack wherein it forms its body into two rings while hovering above the center of the platform and charging energy. It will rapidly summon thorn attacks that will rain down on Roxas no matter where he is for an extended period, making it difficult to deliver a finishing blow. If the Twilight Thorn is not defeated by the time it finishes charging, it will release its stored energy in an attack that covers the floor of the entire arena in light, rapidly damaging Roxas if he fails to jump over it. | |||
As the fight with Twilight Thorn takes place at the beginning of the game and Roxas's 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. | As the fight with Twilight Thorn takes place at the beginning of the game and Roxas's stats are low, it is advisable to train him up to at least Level 5 and stock up more than three Potions.
