Walkthrough:Kingdom Hearts II/Twilight Town

Roxas's Story

The First Day

You start the game by controlling Roxas. Follow the tutorial shown for now.

Apparently, Roxas and his friends are accused to be thieves since some of the town's residence lost their photographs. But, not only the photos are stolen, but the word "photo" itself can't be said, as if it was also stolen! Seifer and his gang try to pick up a fight with Roxas by accusing them to be the culprits. Choose a Struggle Bat and be prepared for a fight against Seifer.

The fight against Seifer is not hard. Keep attacking him and you should deflect his attacks. When Seifer shouts "Isn't this romantic!?", just move away as he will leap into the air and do a straight-forward thrust to the ground.

After you humiliated Seifer, a strange white creature appears and steals Pence's camera. He might be the culprit so Roxas decides to run after it. Follow it into the Old Mansion hidden in the woods. Roxas will now battle the strange creature.

Don't stress too much on this fight, as your attacks will have no effect on it. For now, just use the "Reversal" reaction command and attack it to pass some time. Also, be careful when it's curling up on the ground, as it will kick you. Just jump out of the way to avoid it. After you gained the Keyblade, you can actually hit the creature, so use the Reversal reaction command to confuse it first, and use the opportunity to attack. To prevent the creature from attacking, you can just use Reversal and attack it two times, rinse and repeat.

The Second Day

View the cutscene as Hayner tries to persuade the others to go to the beach together. They have no money though. After the cutscene, you will appear in front of a Save Point. Save the game if you want to. Now, as mentioned before, they have no money. So they will have to work for now. Select one of the 6 jobs available (3 more are available at the Tram Common). It's recommended to play the minigames until you gain at least 1200 munny to get the +2 AP bonus. Gaining 2000 munny will automatically advance the story and give you the +2 AP bonus, but it's still recommended to get 1200 and meet Hayner by the Train Station, since you won't get to keep the 800 extra munny and will still get the bonus AP.

Station Plaza jobs

• Mail Delivery: Roxas will be on his skateboard and he must deliver 5 letters. The route is pretty much linear, and to deliver the mail, you need to press the "Deliver" reaction command near the letter's receiver. There are 5 receiver in order, a boy in green clothing, a pigeon, a man in green clothing, and then you'll have to grind after delivering the letter to the boy to get to the pigeon above the gate to Tram Common, and finally turn to a corner to deliver the final letter to a lady in white shirt. To get the maximum payment of 50 munny, you need to deliver the letters under 20 seconds.

• Cargo Climb: Roxas will have to push a cargo to a garage uphill... by hitting it with his Struggle Bat. Do the 3-hits combo on the cargo to make it move a bit, and after the second combo finisher, the cargo will jump. Hit the cargo, and it will move forward at high speed, making it easier for you to get it inside the garage. To get the maximum payment of 50 munny, you need to move the cargo inside the garage under 30 seconds.

• Grandstander: Roxas will have to perform in a show by juggling a ball... again, by hitting it with his Struggle Bat. When the ball is on the ground, hit it once, and jump immediately and continue with a 3-hits air combo. The ball will fly higher when the combo's finisher hits, giving you the time to land and jump to combo it again. But timing is crucial, only do the combo when the ball is in front of you after you jump. Otherwise the combo's finisher won't hit the ball and the ball will continue to fall, reducing your number of tries by one. To get the maximum payment of 50 munny, you need to juggle the ball (hit the ball) at least 20 times.

Train Common jobs

• Poster Duty: Roxas will have to travel around the area to post Struggle competition posters. These posters can be placed on spots that has a yellow box with a yellow 4-points star in the middle of it. Try to find 3 poster spots that are near each other. Also, each time the "Post" reaction command appears, press immediately as Roxas will leap forward and place a poster, which is much faster than pressing it in front of a spot. To get the maximum payment of 100 munny, you need to place 20 posters under 1 minute 30 seconds.

• Bumble Buster: Roxas will have to exterminate bees by, yet again, hitting them with his trustworthy Struggle Bat. Each group of bees can go down in 2 hits. They can also attack Roxas, while the damage itself is very small, it can stagger Roxas for a while, making you lose some valuable time. For this minigame, it's better to not use Lock-On so Roxas's attacks can take out more bees rather than focusing on one. Before the second group of bees appear, it's better to move to their side and attack them on a vertical line, since most of the time all of the bees are hit and thus, finishing the minigame. To get the maximum payment of 50 munny, you need to exterminate 8 groups of bees under 20 seconds.

• Junk Sweeper: Roxas will have to clean junks by... again and again, hitting them with his Struggle Bat. Since there are no time limits, you can determine the fastest way to dispose of the junks. Junks will be destroyed when hit by another junk, and you can send junks flying by hitting it with a combo-finisher. So determine which junk you should fling so it can hit the most junks. A much slower but reliable way is present, you can literally push the junks by running towards them to gather them in one spot and finish them with a combo. This will take a really long time to do though. To get the maximum payment of 50 munny, you need to dispose of the junks without using more than 10 hits.

You can choose whichever job you want to play, but it's highly recommended to play the Mail Delivery game as it only took 10 seconds per game (8 if you're really good). After trying it for a while you should memorize the locations of the mail receivers and deliver the mails in one go.

Regardless on how many munny you collected by doing jobs, the total would still be 5000 munny (technically the more diligent you are in collecting those munny, the lazier the other gets). But, it seems all those hard work are for waste, the munny pouch is stolen! And now Roxas and the others will have to postpone their plan...

The Third Day

You will be in the Usual Spot. Head over to the Station Heights for now. Pence and Olette are here... but just as they about to talk to Roxas, they froze! A strange girl then appears, telling Roxas to go to the Old Mansion. Roxas head to the Woods as he sees Dusks floating around chasing him, he know he had no choice but to retreat. As he runs to the Sandbox, he meets Seifer and his gang. As they hold off the other Dusks, Roxas is left to face one of the Dusks.

This battle is the same as when you fight a Dusk before, just use Reversal and avoid its attack.

Seifer and his gang appears to be frozen as well, and as the Dusks lunge themselves towards Roxas, he wakes up in Station of Serenity. Pick up a weapon of your choice and be prepared for a battle.

You will fight against three Dusks this time. They will also gain a new attack, whenever you see them floating in the air, jump away as they will drop to the ground and headbutts you. Use the Reversal+2 hits technique and this battle should be done in no time.

Open up a treasure chest that just literally appeared out of nowhere to retrieve a Potion.

... to be continued.

Sora's Story

First Visit

Donald Duck

After the cutscene where he wakes up, you'll gain control of Sora. You'll be outside the mansion, so open the nearby Treasure Chests and then enter the forest. Although they are NPCs outside the mansion, Donald and Goofy are your main party members, and will fight alongside Sora in every world where battles are present.

You'll be automatically taken to the Useral Spot (?), where Sora feels like he's been to this town before, but thinks he must have imagined it. Here, you'll meet up with Hayner, Pence and Olette, the three friends of Roxas, but something's not right about them. Hayner will act rude at first, because Sora and his pals have meddled into their spot. Olette then mistakes Sora for being a fellow High School student by asking if he has finished his homework, which suprises Sora. The two trios then introduce themselves. Pence and Olette then mention that somebody is looking for Sora and his friends. They don't know who that person was, because he wore a coat, but Pence mentioned that he had big, round ears. Donald thinks it's King Mickey. Sora asks where he is, and tell him that the King's at the station.

Now you have control of the party again. There's a save point next to you, so save the game. Now head over to Market Street and climb the hill to the station. If you have enough Munny, try to purchase some Potions, as they can be helpful.

Finally, upon reaching the Station, a bunch of strange foes (later revealed to be Dusks will attack you. You should try to take out as many as you can. After the battle, Sora and his friends will drop to the ground, exusted. Just as a Dusk prepares to attack the trio, a mysterious figure in a black coat will destroy the remaining Dusks. The figure is revealed to be King Mickey, who then tells the trio to board a train and leave the town. He then hands over a pouch containing 5,000 munny and a blue orb before running off.

Sora then takes this encounter as a sign that Riku may be okay, since he was traped in the Realm of Darkness alongside the king. Because of this, Sora has decided to go look for Riku, so that the two of them can return to the islands together, since Kairi is there waiting for them. He then asks his friends that they are going to do. Goofy then asks that does he have to ask, causing Sora to laugh at their faces. Donald and Goofy then look at each other's faces, and they all laugh. Sora then agrees to stick together for one more journey, which is the train ride.

Go inside the station, and another cutscene will begin.
