Story summary

Roxas and Luxord are sent to Halloween Town to collect hearts.

Mission walkthrough

The Dual Blades waiting in Halloween Town Square fight the same as those previously encountered, only now there are two of them. Remember tactics such as blocking their thrusts with the right timing or casting Thundaga to stun them for longer periods, during which Roxas can tear them up with his Limit Breaks. Also keep in mind that this is a quest to collect hearts, not to eliminate a target. That means breaking away to wipe out Creepworms that periodically run through the area. Score roughly 110 Heart Points to complete the mission, and eliminate all Creepworms and Dual Blades to fill the Mission Gauge 100%.

At first look it looks complex with two Dual Blades with higher HP, and all attack magic is banned. However, you can easily shortcut to RTC quicker by only defeating one of the Dual Blades and all nearby Creepworms, to whom can be easily defeated. When dealing with the Dual Blades remember to block their charged attack to knock them down to increase the amount of damage they take while down. Also have partner support on as Luxord can still use his magic and any successful magic attacks he manages to make can help, especially against the Dual Blade you are trying to bring down.
