The {{nihongo|'''Twilight Thorn'''|トワイライトゾーン|Towairaitozōn|"Twilight Zone" in the Japanese version}} is a boss from ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]''. The Twilight Thorn is a giant [[Nobody]] that attacks with lightning-like thorns, and shares properties with other deformed Nobodies: it can stretch and contort its body and possesses remarkable maneuverability. It is unknown if the Twilight Thorn is loyal to one particular member of [[Organization XIII]], or if it has a leader at all. It may be loyal to Roxas, and came back to fight him when he lost his memories in the [[Simulated Twilight Town]] during his [[Awakening]].

Only one appears, in ''Kingdom Hearts II'', when [[Roxas]] goes to the [[Station of Awakening]]. It is interesting to note that when Roxas senses a presence and turns around to see who it is, he sees a person wearing an [[Organization XIII#Dress|Black cloak]], just before it turns into the Twilight Thorn. It would make sense that the figure is Roxas, just as Sora turned around to see his shadow become the [[Darkside]] [[Heartless]].

The Twilight Thorn is a low-ranking Nobody that is found in Kingdom Hearts II. It is one of the bosses at Twilight Town.

Journal Entry

Kingdom Hearts II

A giant Nobody who Roxas fought at the Station of Awakening

Although it tried to capture Roxas with its thorns, it was overpowered and defeated by the strength of the Keyblade master.

Story

Kingdom Hearts II

Only one Twilight Thown appears, when Roxas goes to the Station of Awakening. It is interesting to note that when Roxas senses a presence and turns around to see who it is, he sees a figure wearing an 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.

Strategy

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 Commands 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.

Many of Twilight Thorn's attacks can be reflected.

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 Creepers 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' health.

Trivia
