This thread is a log of my Nuzloke run of Digimon World Dusk. The name comes for the Japanese name of the game and tamer team Digimon Story: Moonlight. The team name Night Crow is actually a mistranslation/misspelling of Night Claw, the game's case and instruction manual refer to it as Night Claw.
Okay enough of the random facts and onto the rules of the run.
1. If a digimon dies it is reverted back to a digiegg and sent into the bank. 2. All digimon partners must have names. 3. Only the first two digimon to reach 100% scan per area may be used. 4. Double must follow different evolution lines. - The only exception to rule three and four is Moonmon, as it's only able to evolve into the Lunamon line.
And here is the choose your character and digimon selections.
Since this is a Nuzloke I went with the attack pack which gives me a Skullgreymon and a Blackweregarurumon along with the starter, Lunamon.
Level Totals - May contain spoilers.
Every time a digimon Digivolves or Dedigivolves it get reset to level one, here I am keep track of how many levels I level them up over all.
Episode 1: Night Claw VS Light Fang! - Normal Rank Tamer Tournament!
Part A - Thriller Ruins:
I stood quietly as I listened to our leader Julia explain what we were doing out here. It wasn't long before her partner digimon, ChaosGallantmon started to speak as well. I wasn't sure why we needed to go farther in, It wasn't like we were going to be practicing against the wild digimon. Newton cut me off before i could agree with Dorothy, we were pretty far in as it was, and there were no Light Fangs to be scene. After walking for a while we stopped and newton insisted on going farther in. I'm really starting to wonder if Newton is afraid of the Light Fang or the rest of the Night Crows or just plan paranoid. I shared a look with Dorothy and we continued deeper into the ruins, it wasn't long before we ran into one of the higher ranked tamers. Finally it was time for us to practice battling. or not as Dorothy started to babel about basic battle instructions. Although she was right about newton not giving good instructions to his digimon. Deimos and Lykos were able to beat his Kokuwamon without getting a scratch. After the easy win, Newton refused to believe he was giving bad orders to his digimon. Just as Dorothy and I were going to start our battle the ground started to shake violently! "An earthquake." I responded to them before the vilemon appeared. "Newton I think they said, that they were going to kill us." "How should I know?" I shouted as I prepared for battle. I defeated the single Vilemon that attacked me with ease. “Of course, keep an eye out in case more Vilemon show up" I smiled a bit at the banter between the two of them. It was a quick long walk to the area we had thought about stopping in. The other Night Crows had tried to follow us and were now surrounded by the vilemon. Seeing them struggling to beat the virus type digimon. The battle was another easy victory, I was able to beat both the vilemon with ease. I nodded to Gutts before turning to Barone. "I was just on my way to tell Chief Julia" I finaly got back to the starting area, and saw the Chief take out three Vilemon. I went to inform her that Newton was injured and others where shaken up but fine when I heard a creepy laugh and turned to see a strange person cloaked in red. The Chief ran off to confront him. The man vanished before Chief Julia and ChaosGallantmon could get to him I walked up to them and informed about the attacks and that Newton was injured. We went back into the deeper parts of the ruins to gather the other members of our team. Once everyone was back at the meeting point we had another discussion. I wasn't worried I was confidant I could take care of them after today’s incident and I knew that our Leader would do her best to find out what was going on. Weirdness and Chaos at the ruins or not, the Normal tournament was tomorrow. We would beat the Light Fang at the match!
Part B - The Finals.
The next day started with a sweeping victory for me in the Group A of the Normal T ornament. I defeated the competition with ease. After winning my group I left the coliseum to get a sandwich and make sure my team was at full strength. The next match that I had was the finals. While I was gone Newton was apparently preparing a speech for me. Which he sprung on me the second I got back to the Coliseum. "They're all gonna laugh at you!" I respond before turning serious and following him. He scolds me for being late and the stops and stares at the TV monitors. The Screens show Gutts and His digimon fighting Koh of Light Fang. After a bit of cheering for our team mate we head into the waiting room. Chief Julia seemed relieved that I had made it back on time. I wasn't all ways late. I got a few words of praise from ChaosGallantmon before the focus was shifted back to winning the tournament. Gutts arrived back in the waiting room after his match, he had lost to Koh. Which ended up sparking some infighting in the group. Which was broken up by Barone and Dorothy. It seemed that Koh had swept the Group B the same way I had with group A. ChaosGallantmon and Chief Julia left the waiting room and I followed them, it seemed that they had left to meet up with the leaders of Light Fang, Chief Glare and his partner digimon Ophanimon. After a short introduction, they began to talk about my potential. I was pleased to find that Chief Glare believed that I was an Impressive tamer. I wasn't surprised when they brought up one of their own. A voice spoke from some were near the Light Fang waiting room, the boy walked over to us after speaking introduced himself. "I'm Miyu, Group A champion; It's nice to meet you." "I too will do my best Chief Julia, Chief Glare!" "I will Chief" I responded, I was more than ready to fight Koh and see just how strong he was. Koh was already in the arena when I entered; the Night Crows were in the stands to the right and were shouting encouragements. Yes, a win today, would be the perfect way to start the competition, and I had no intention of losing. Koh seemed to be as eager to start the fight as I was. The referee started with introducing us to the spectators. and then it was time to start the match. Although Koh was stronger than the other people I had fought in this match, having a Champion and Ultimate level digimon on his team as well as a rookie. My digimon were able to defeat him with little damage to them selves. I was declared the champion of the Normal Tournament, The Leaders were Ecstatic. Koh was furious at first but manged to calm down and declared the standard rival you wont win next time phrase.
Part C - After the match
The crowed went wild. After the match we met up with Chief Glare and Ophanimon. I agree with Ophanimon, Koh won't let his defeat here end his attempt to be the best. We were about to follow Chief Glare's example and head home when the creepy guy from Yesterday showed up. We chased him down and had him surrounded when he teleported away. Chief Glare was confsued by the whole situation. and Chief Julia filled him in on the events of the day before. I was not aware that the server had been acting weird. Chief Julia went back to collect the others and we left the Digi-Coliseam and went back to DarkMoon City.

Episode 2: The Darkmoons' Eclipsed? - Earthquakes Shakes The City!
Part A: Meeting with the Chief.
"Thank you Chief Julia, ChaosGallantmon." It is all ways good to have a good match, even if during the match you can tell you will lose you still have to give it your best and try instead of giving up. It was hearting to see how confined the Bronze Tamers were. I was supprised when the Chief told me to stay behind. Kakumi and Sukekiyo looked at each other questioningly before heading out. "Yes it was the weird guy in the Red outfit with the creepy laugh." "Up to what though?" I wondered if that guy had anything to do with the server glitches. "Yeah, that would be bad, the digimon there are strong, and there are a lot of people there all the time." "Chief Glare? Do you think the guy could be a Light Fang spy?" "Yes Chief Julia!" I saluted the leaders and made my way out of the Union Room wondering what my gift was.
Part B: Heading home
As I excited the Union Room I saw the other Normal tamers and wandered over when Dorothy called me. "Whats up?" I had been surprised when I got a gift from the chief, I wonder if the Bronze tamers had thought thats why Julia kept me and told the others. I laughed "Dorothy's right I was the group A winner." "Good luck Dorothy! I'm sure you will be able to surprise her!" "Bye guys!" I called as they all walked off to the tamers home portal, I followed suit and made my way home. Phascomon was happy to see me when I got home. The chief gave me are Farm Island Card? "I will Phascomon, First thing in the morning." That was great, it would be a big help in raising digimon. DNA digivolving was great, some of the strongest digimon that existed were the result of DNA Digivolutions. I yawned sleepily as all the excitement of the day began to ware off. I let my digimon out of the Digivice for the night and climbed up to my sleeping area. "yes mom" I called jokingly to Phascomon. "Night Phascomon."
Part C - City Under Siege.
Its a normal Night in DarkMoon City. Tamers Chat with their digimon. Discussing the upcoming Tournament matches. Taking confidence from their partners. And yet, the guards feel uneasy. Is it simply the anxiety of the tournaments or is it something more sinister? There is admiration for Miyu. And as our main character sleeps, the plot advances. Another earthquake strikes, and the city's alarms begin to blare. A strange purple egg shaped being appears it laughs crazily as electricity dances on it. Its face turns sinister as it stops laughing and release purple orbs of energy form its body, the earth begins to shake again. The energy it gave off knocks out the humans and reverts all the digimon to egg, not even the powerful megas were spared. It teleports into the City, startling the guards. The Guards prepare for a fight But the thing just laughs and releases the energy again. Once again the ground shakes and the digimon are reverted back into Digieggs. The creature wanders into the middle of the area and teleports off.
Part D - I sleep for a few hours and WHAT happens to the city?!
I yawn and roll out of bed looking blearily at Phascomon, wonder why she would wake me up at this time of night. "What what happened to the city?" I asked, suddenly wide awake. I felt nauseous hearing that all the digimon were sent back into eggs, while digimon ever truly died, there was still some repercussions to them being killed and turned into eggs. There was a chance that many of them had lost their memory as well as their strength. Since Phascomon was still here I assumed by digimon were safe, I felt bad for those who were not as lucky. Hearing Phascomon speak of the home security being breached I panicked. Hearing that they had only been reverted to rookies I was shocked but relived that they were still alive. "Yeah, The city must be terrable" I said as I checked on my partners. Artemis who was a rookie to begin with was still had a power level of twenty while Deimos and Lykos had been turned into a Blackagumon and Goburimon respectively and were now at level one. Still it could be worse, a lot worse. I sighed hearing Phascomon continue on about the farm. "The City is more important then me getting the farm, I'm going out to check on it." The City was in bad shape, Digieggs were laying every were and the tamers were just starting to become coherent again. I started asking about what happened. Trying to piece it all together. I paused on my mad dash the union room, seeing a digimon that haddn't been reverted to an egg, Neemon was as clueless as the rest of us as to what was happening. When I got into the Union room, the people were already unconscious. I feared that the Cheif had all ready lost. I saw our leaders slump to the floor as the thing attacked again. It seemed surprised when I made it to them. Julia was dazed form the thing;s attack but I knew not to take her warning lightly. The battle was though, It was extremely strong and my attack did little to it, luckily most if its power seemed to be concentrated on the attack that reverted the other digimon, apparently it had no effect on rookies. Even so it manged to do a good chunk of damage to Lykos and Deimos before deciding to flee. My two degenerated digimon shot up to level five after the fight, I was glad I had manged to defeat it without an casualties. It was only a few moments before CG and Chief Julia were able to pull them selves up off the floor. "You're welcome ChaosGallantmon, I am just glad that you and Chief Julia are safe." "I don;t know who that was, but they did a lot of damage to the city. It would have been horrible if it manged to succeed in taking over your minds." I walked out with the Chief and help the Injured it was a few hours before I could get home and change out of my pajamas.

Episode 3: The First Mission! - Reconnaissance in the Tunnel!
Part A: Rebuilding the City.
After checking the city and helping the Injured Cheif Julia let me at a quick nap before gathering the others who had been asleep during the attack and put us to work. Gutts and Ponch did nothing but complain. Newton and I were surprised when Dorothy came over and told us that Chief Julia wanted us. We quickly finished the parts we were working on and walked off too met the Chief. Who started off with a status report of the city and what the others and I had manged to bring back up. I felt bad that we hadn't be able to restore more areas, but I didn't know the server well so it was a slow process bringing things back online. We were cut off from Sunshine city? Was this an attack from Light Fang, or had they also been attacked. Sunken tunnel huh? If I remembered correctly, it was home to aquatic and machine type digimon. "I wonder what else they are trying to do" I mused aloud, clearly the city wasn't the only goal as it wouldn't have tried to take over the Chief and CG's minds. We were interrupted by Ponch and the others barging in on our conversation. The Chief slapped them down immediately, I was not surprised, we needed as many people as we could get to fix the city. They tried to argue they were strong enough, but I knew the only reason the chief was sending me was because I had been able to beat the enemy before. ChaosGallantmon thundered at them and they backed off. He sighed after they had left. We needed to get the city working as soon as possible. "Yes! Chief Julia, I accept the mission to Sunken Tunnel! Don't worry I'll be careful"
Part B: Supplies and Farm acquired.
I went into the Market area, to stock up on the supplies I'd need for the tunnel. I over heard a Tamer talking to his Tentomon, about Farm Islands. It wasn't to long before I got a call from Phascomon on my Digivice about getting a Farm Island. I sighed as the call ended, I needed to get to the Sunken Tunnel but she'd be waiting for hours if I left before getting the Island. "Yes, I am Miyu." I pulled the card out of my wallet and handed it to him "Silver, Moon, Luna, Dark." I mumbled quietly to myself as I tried to think of a name so that I could get to the Tunnel. "Eclipse" I said, Lunar Eclipses were both dark and involved the moon, sort of like what the city was named. We waited a bit for the pass to go though, the systems were lagging due to the attack and having just recently been restarted. My Digivice flashed alerting me that Phascomon had called me back. She informed me that she had finished setting up the farm form our end. I smiled a bit at her excitement, I wasn't sure what I wanted to do with the Farm, but I had no time to mull over it. She left the the screen of my Digivice changed from a background of the Digital City to The Farm Island I had acquired.
Part C: The Mission Gets More Complicated.
After purchasing the items I needed to get though the Tunnel I head out of the city, only to get stopped by the Guards. "No need to apologize, it's best to be on alert after the attack" I said as they tried to apologize for holding me up. "What!" I shouted in surprise, Other three? "Don't tell me those idiots didn't listen to the chief." I ran to the transport area and saw the three of them arguing with a Silver tamer. They all spoke quickly and jumped on the transport before anyone could stop them. The Silver tamer was furious and Started calling the Chief up before Ponch even got on the transporter. "Normal Tamer, Miyu, on assignment form Chief Julia" I flashed my tamer ID at Him before running onto the transporter, Hopefully I could catch them before they got too far into the Tunnel.
Part E: Searching the Sewers.
I was not in the tunnel for long before I ran into Barone, who seemed relived to see me. "The wild digimon are attacking?" Its just like Thriller Ruins, that seemed to confirm that the purple thing that attacked us was related to the figure in red. "Yeah, you should go back Barone, They need you to help with the systems, even if it doesn't seem as glorious as charging into find the attacker, its just as important." "It's okay Barone, and I will find them, I promise to help them" I pointed her to the way out and then continued on my journey though the tunnel. The wild digimon were indeed attacking. Deimos and Lykos were able to get stronger as we battled while exploring every inch of the tunnel. While exploring I found a valve that was turned on and shut it off. (forgot to screen it so I took one of me clicking on it afterwards) There were more battles and I got 100% scans for Kapurimon and Betamon, making them my two digimon for the area. I found another valve and shut it off before running into a road block. I manged to find the key for the door lock and put the road block down. After a bit more of exploring I finally found Ponch and Gutts. They seemed to be having difficulties with a Raremon. Gutts had the right idea of trying not to piss of the digimon any farther, once again I was called into help. "Yes I do believe I can beat you" I said confidently. "Raremon, a champion level Virus type digimon in the Nightmare Soldiers family. Its Special attack is Breath of Decay." I said sounding like a digimon analyzer before my digivice scanned him. The battle was long and Raremon had the advanage of being a Champion and a higher level than my Rookie digimon. It a few Digitar but I manged to beat him. Lykos and Deimos leveled up and I was able to relax a bit. Raremon seemed confused after i beat him up. He apologized for sleep fighting and went home. I twitched when Gutts flipped out on me for saving them. "YOU ASKED ME TO HELP!" I shouted at his retreating form. "Maybe next time I'll let it stomp all over you before stopping it then!" I huffed and turned to Ponch sighing. "If you say so, and you're welcome." We got accosted by more digimon before we manged to get to the exit.
Part D: Reporting in.
When I finally made it back to DarkmoonCity and the Union Room, ChaosGallantmon was still chewing out Barone and the others. Julia manged to rein him in and was glad to see that I made it back safely. It seemed that I didn't have much to add as the others had told Julia what happened. "That's not good" I said worriedly, that meant that nearly all the digimon in the Digital World would be going berserk like the ones in Sunken Tunnel. "Yes Sir! I will do my best!" I was glad that I was no longer needed for the systems check, it meant I could finally catch up on my sleep. Gutts was his normal annoying self and Barone apologized. I laughed as the three argued amongst themselves. I nodded to ChaosGallantmon that was another reason to keep them close, We who had been in the tamers homes at the time of the attack were the only ones with digimon who were above In-training and thus the best to defend the city against a second wave. Chief Julia and Raigo were both as worried as ChaosGallantmon. As I left the Union Room, I heard a voice. It appeared to be a Kabukimon talking to its tamer. It was odd that the digimon was still digivolved. I followed them into the Center and tried to figure out how the digimon was above rookie as it talked about the quest givers Kabukimon was an Armor evolution digimon, had the Armor level digimon not been effected like the rookies? Or had their trainer evolved them back into Gatomon, a champion before using the digiegg on them. I sighed and walked out, it would do little good trying to figure it out know, no one really understood the virus.
Part F: New Team Mates
I headed home and slept for a while before getting up and starting up the Digilab PC,the Virus had hit it hard and the systems had been slowed down so much that Julia had put an edict if effect that you could only convert two digimon from an area in order to keep the servers from crashing. I selected Kapurimon and a started the process. A few moments latter and the data condensed into a Kapurimon who looked at me curiously as I named him. I put him in my digivice as a backup as I started the process of converting another digimon. It didn't take the computer log to create my Bettamon. I named him and sent him into the digivice as well. I turned to my digimon, "Things are Happening fast now guys, If you guys get turned into a digiegg, I won't be able to wait for you to hatch again and raise you guys up again, not with everything thats going on. Chief Julia needs us at our strongest, I'm sorry if any of you end up getting left behind. I promise that no mater what happens, once this is all over if any of you have died I will turn you into the strongest team there is!" Artemis smiled at me "I would expect no less of my tamer, The City comes before all of us, I will wait if need be." Deimos growled lowly, "I don't plan on losing to any weaklings. So don't worry about me." Lykos laughed "Well I think that makes this whole situation a lot more fun." Alexius and Pelagius were a bit more hesitant than the others but they both agreed to stick with me anyways. I grinned at them "All right lets get training then!"
Part G: Training Montage
I had been so used to them being able to decimate everyone they faced with ease before the attack, it was odd to suddenly struggle against a champion when we fought ultimates with little trouble. The fight with raremon had proven that I needed to work them back up to their old strength. It didn't take long before Alexius and Pelagius started to catch up with my main team. Alexius hit his max level and was able to digivolve. It didn't take me long to choose which evolution line I wanted for Alexius. started the process that turned him into the rookie leveled Hagurumon. As we trained I continued moved around the tunnel trying to see if there was anything that I missed. I found a purple portal and went though it, I ended up in one of the Dark Areas, I guessed that Gutts and the others had manged to bring it online while I had been training. We continued training until everyone had it their max Aptitude, Artemis manged to learn a new skill, Raging Waters that was able to hit two enemies at once. After that I went back to the City and bought some equipment, Bronze Blades increased their attack by nine.

Episode Four: The Missing Tsukaimon and other quests! - Missions from the Dark Center!
Part A: Find Tsukaimon
After training it was time to head to the Dark Center and start taking quests. The first one was from a Pagumon who wanted help finding their friend Tsukaimon. I talked to pagumon to let them know we took the quest and to get more information. After that we headed over to the Thriller Ruins to find Tsukaimon. While exploring the ruins we ran into a few fights, a blockade and found some items. It wasn't long before Tsukaimon was found and I let them know that Pagumon was worried. We returned to Pagumon and told him what Tsukaimon said before turning the quest in at the Dark Center.
Part B: Red shoes Quests
I decided to grab another quest while in the Dark Center and headed over to talk with the quest giver Armadillomon. Who wanted us to go get some Bark and Paint Oil from Login Mountain. Login Mountain was a lot brighter than the last two areas. I ran into serveral items as we fought the wild Digimon, however none of them where the items needed for the quest. While searching the mountian I got scans of Tokomon and Monodromon. Soon after I finaly found the Paint Oil we were looking at, a bit more exploring and a few fights later and the bark was found as well. Demos manged to abosorb enough dragon data from the monodramon and digivoleved into Monochromon. We returned to Dark Moon City and gave the requested items to Armadillomon and recived our reward form the dark center. Lykos was a level short of digivolving so he DeDigivolved into Tsunomon. Alexius was next and he Digivolved into a Gardromon. My DigiFarm was pretty bare so I bought some items for it. A small farm so that my digimon could eat and a book case for Training. Pelagius needed more spirit so he was trained in the digifarm. Pelagius wasn't able to get all the spirit at once so he stayed in the farm as we needed to our next mission.
Part C: A Pillow made of Iron?
The client Kapurimon, needed us to head to sunken tunnel to retrieve their Iron Pillow. I decided to head out to Thriller Ruins so that Artemis could get more Dark exp so she could evolve. While there I got a Daily report from the Digifarm. Pelagius manged to get his spirit up and the farm made plenty of food. When we got back, I found Pelagius singing, apparently he has a theme song. He was quick to let me know he was ready to digivolve. "Don't worry, I wont thats actually what we're going to do right now." I replied, Artemis was up first however. Artemis digivolved into a Leskimon Pelagius digivolved into Dolpmon right after. We trained some more in Thriller Ruins, and collected more data for my Pagumon and Kokuwamon scans before heading to Sunken Tunnel. (It looks like i forgot to mention that I got scans for Pagumon and Kokuwamon the first time we entered thrill ruins this chapter, and I didn't want to have to go back and re-do 20+ images haha /lazy) While looking for the pillow we ran across a Gizamon. "I'm looking for an Iron Pillow, have you scene it?" I asked politely. Upon hearing his response my team prepared for battle. "If you want a fight, Fine then! Show us what you got!" The fight didn't last long, my team over powered the Gizamon easily. "I don't hold back in fights, Especially when people hire me to find and or retrieve their items." I explained to the defeated Gizamon. Hearing that the Gizamon gave us the pillow. Pillow in hand I headed back to the city to return it to Kapurimon
Part D: Finding a Mushroom in the Forest.
I also got my reward and a new quest from the Dark Center Tanemon wanted us to head to Chip Forest to get an L mushroom. While not as bright as Login Mountain, Chip Forest was still colorful and we ran into several in-training digimon. I found Forest Key as I explored the region and obtained scans of Gummymon and Kokomon before using the key to head deeper into the forest. Where I found the L-Mushroom and gave it to Tanemon. Tanemon was upset over degenrating which is why they sent us to get the mushroom. Most of the requests seemed to have been caused in one way or another by the events surrounding the Earthquake. We still dont know what that virus was or what it wanted, and it makes me feel uneasy.
