This is video #068 in my Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days playthrough. During Mission 36 on Day 117, Phil puts Roxas through training reminiscent of the training he put Sora through in Kingdom Hearts. Appropriately enough, this is called "Beginner's Training." Roxas gets to break barrels to rack up points. Do a full combo on a barrel to knock it away. If you knock it towards another barrel, it will hit that barrel and destroy both of them. You don't even have to aim perfectly. Red barrels are bombs, as well.

There is no particular score that you need to acquire. However, if you earn at least 100 points, Xigbar will reward Roxas with a Bronze on Day 149. Phil will challenge Roxas to earn 200 points, but there is no particular reward for this. The Chrono Gear is a good weapon for this minigame because of the two-stroke combo. Take full advantage of the chain effect.

When it's over, Phil tells Roxas about Hercules. It turns out the big hero has been overworked lately. If you've played Kingdom Hearts II, you should know who's responsible for that! Of course, Phil laughs at the idea of Roxas participating in the games, just as he laughed at Sora in Kingdom Hearts.

Speaking of which, during this scene, Roxas has another flash to that boy in red. Very odd.

When the conversation is over, Roxas decides to RTC. To complete the optional objective, he must examine two more points in the Coliseum Vestibule and two more Outside the Coliseum.

As Roxas leaves the vestibule, he crosses paths with Hercules. I'm pretty sure that Roxas isn't the recruit that Herc scouted.

When Roxas RTCs, we are privy to a scene between Axel and Xion on the clock tower in Twilight Town. I wonder what's the source of Xion's feeling that she used to watch the sun set with someone else...

The rewards for this mission include a couple of Thunder spells. This is the first time Roxas will get Thunder if you haven't been doing the Challenges and Mission Mode yet.

Thank you for watching!
