The Underworld is the dwelling place of Hades. Although it is considered a part of Olympus Coliseum in regards to game mechanics, it is considered a distinct area in the story. The Underworld consists of two parts, the Cave of the Dead and the Underworld Caverns. The Underworld is also home to the Underdrome where Sora can take part in tournaments. Many bosses are fought in the Underworld, including Demyx, Pete, Cerberus, and Hades himself.

Settings and Areas

The Underworld can be accessed through the Coliseum Gates. The Underworld Entrance (冥界入口, Meikai Iriguchi) connects the living world to the world of the dead, as well as holding the world's Moogle Shop, a save point, and the Underdrome where Sora can talk to Pain and Panic to gain access to the tournaments there. From there, two paths into the Underworld branch off. The first branch that Sora and his friends can explore leads to Hades's domain through the Cave of the Dead (亡者の洞窟, Mōja no Dōkutsu). Beginning at the Entrance (入口, Iriguchi) (where Sora and Auron later fight Cerberus), the party travels down the narrow and meandering Passage (通路, Tsūro) before reaching the relatively safe Inner Chamber (最深部, Saishinbu). From there, the party traverses the ledges and cliffs of the Valley of the Dead (亡者の谷, Mōja no Tani) before reaching Hades' Chamber (ハデスの間, Hadesu no Ma).

Later in the story, the second path opens and allows the group to enter the Underworld Caverns (冥界の大空洞, Meikai no Dai Kūdō, lit. "Great Cavity of the Underworld"). After going down through the Entrance (入口, Iriguchi), the party travels through The Lost Road (迷いの道, Mayoi no Michi), which in turn leads to the Atrium (広間, Hiroma, lit. "Hall"). After an encounter with Demyx, the party passes through to The Lock (封印の間, Fūin no Ma, lit. "Chamber of the Seal"), where Meg can be rescued and a boss battle with Pete takes place.

Tournament Cups

Just like in Kingdom Hearts, this world is home to a series of tournaments that unlock throughout the game. There are four primary cups, and then four paradox cups, which are more difficult than the first four. The first three paradox cups feature the same lineups as their originals, but the final cup is the most intense of any competition. Each cup has its own set of rules and limitations. The following is a list of cups and how to unlock them.

• Pain and Panic Cup - Clear Disney Castle for the first time.
• Cerberus Cup - Clear Agrabah, Halloween Town, and Pride Lands for the first time.
• Hades Cup -Opened during the second visit of Olympus Coliseum
• Titan Cup - Clear Olympus Coliseum for the second time.
• Goddess of Fate Cup - Clear previous cups and beat Xemnas for the first time.
• Pain and Panic Paradox Cup - Clear all previous cups.
• Cerberus Paradox Cup - All Drive Forms (except Final) at level 5, unlock Paradox: Pain and Panic
• Titan Paradox Cup - Summon level 5, unlock Paradox: Pain and Panic
• Hades Paradox Cup - Clear Space Paranoids for the second time, clear all previous cups, and all Drives and Summon at level 7.
