Walkthrough:Kingdom Hearts II/Olympus Coliseum

First Trip
Upon entering this world, Sora, Donald and Goofy will be in the Underworld, wondering where the Coliseum is. Donald spots it, and they start to head there when they hear a woman scream. She is being attacked by three Rapid Dogs. They soon run off. You now have control of the party. There is a Moogle Shop and a save point here, so you now have a chance to save the game and cash in your Synthisis items.

Talk to the woman. She will introduce herself as Megara... Meg for short. She is concerned for Hercules (whom she calls Wonderboy), because he keeps on fighting monsters sent by Hades without getting much rest. Meg wants to go and convince Hades to let Herc have a break. However, Sora insisted that he would go in her place, not wanting her to get hurt along the way.

Now, you must enter the cavern in front of you. Many Heartless will attack you, and sometimes, rocks will fall from the ceiling. Currently, you cannot use your Drive Forms. At one point, you'll encounter a member of Organisation XIII running down the tunnel. Soon, you'll reach a room with a Moogle Shop and a save point, where the Organisation XIII member will cowardly run past the party and into a portal.

After you enter the next area, a cutscene with Pete and Hades will play, in which Hades is upset that Hercules has "made mince meat out of every fighter" that was sent to battle him. Pete then says that Hades should pick someone who is already dead and "save him the trouble". This gives Hades an idea...

Meanwhile, Donald and Goofy take a look around, both looking cowardly. Sora, however, simpally demands Hades to show up. Now you must head up the paths shown, fighting the Heartless along the way. By time you reach Hades' chamber, a cutscene will show Hades reviving a warrior... who refuses to work for him ("This is my story, and you're not part of it!"). Hades then attacks him just as the party shows up. A battle with Hades begins, but it only lasts a few seconds, so don't do much attacking. Suddenly, the trio relise that they are cursed. The warrior then tells them to go, despite Sora protesting that he's gotta talk to Hades, who pretends to ignore him.



As they run out of the room, the warrior, Auron, joins the party. He cannot be swapped out, at this point. Now, you must head for the exit. Each bridge will be sealed off until all the Heartless are defeated, along with the exit at the end. Attack only the Heartless, since Hades will be immune to all attacks. When you reach the exit and go through it, a cutscene will begin, in which Auron will introduce himself. Use this time to save the game, since there will be a boss battle coming up.

During escape, Hades will lock a giant door and will send Cerberus to attack the party. In the cutscene before the battle, the party reaches the closed door, and Donald spots it's Keyhole. Just as Sora begins to unlock it, Cerberus appears and Auron attacks him, allowing Sora to open the door. However, rather than joining Donald and Goofy, Sora returns to Auron and they proceed to fight Cerberus.

After defeating Cerberus, Sora and Auron run through the door. Sora then joins Donald and Goofy with making funny faces to taunt Cerberus just as the door shuts. Auron then leaves the party, and his current location is unknown.

Head for the Coliseum, where you will be reunited with Hercules. You'll then be taken to the Coliseum Foyer, where Herc will explain that the only way to avoid the curse of the Underworld is with the Olympus Stone. He'll also tell you that the trio should get some training. Phil can be found in The Coliseum, where he will (once again) mistake Sora for Hercules. After the cutscene ends, talk to Phil to being the training. First, you must do practice mode, wish is to break 20 pots in two minutes. After that, you will do Maniac, which involves breaking 100 pots in two minutes. Sora will get Aerial Spiral if you complete the latter.

Hercules will then come in. Talk to him and he (in a cutscene) will explain that the Olympus Stone has been stolen by a guy in a black coat, and Meg has vanished. Hades then comes in and reveals that he's kidnapped her. Herc cannot go with the party because he has a match with the Hydra. Sora decided to get the stone back. You'll be automatically returned to the Coliseum Foyer. Save the game, then head back to the Underworld Entrance, where you will find a wounded Phil, who was attacked by some Nobodies while he went out to find another Hero in case Hercules needed a break.

Go through the door, and then you'll find yourself in a room with a while misty sheet overing half of the room. Jump down to the ground, then head for the next room, where Sora will put his left hand on his right sholder, and shake his right arm, commenting that the curse is starting to really get to him. Now, you must find the next door. There are three exits in this room: the one you came from, the one that will lead to a few hidden treasure chests for the preveous room, and a hidden one on the other side of the room.

Once there, go up the stairs, and out of the mist, where you will find a large room with the member of Organisation XIII. He will remove his hood, and then regonise Sora as Roxas, confusing him. Demyx then use the Olympus Stone to rid himself of the curse, then will attack the party.

After defeating the clones, Demyx will leave the world. Donald will then spot the Olympus Stone on the ground. He'll hand the stone to Sora, who then cures them of the curse. From this point onwards, Drive Forms are avalable in the Underworld. Now head to the next room, where you will find a save point, several tresure chests, and a large stone with a picture of Megera. Examon the stone, and a cutscene will show Sora unlocking the Keyhole. After saving the game, go down into a white room and you'll find Hades and Meg. Hades will leave but Pete will appear behind you.



Defeat the Heartless (don't worry about Pete for now) and protect Meg until Herc shows up. A cutscene will then show Herc appearing and he'll tell you to leave and get Meg out of here. However, Meg refuses to leave Herc, since he can't keep winning forever. Sora then decideds to stay behind and help Herc out.

After defeating Pete, you will automatically be taken back to the Underworld Entrance, where you will encounter Hades, who hints that something is wrong with the Coliseum. After saving the game, head back to the Coliseum, where you now find it in ruins, and with a Hydra attacking it. Hercules loses his will to fight, though Phil, Meg and Pegasus will help with this battle.

After defeating the Hydra, Herc will still continue to blame himself for failing to defeat the Hydra, and Meg tells Sora that she'll take care of him. Sora then hands back the Olympus Stone to Herc, but it soon glows, revealing another gate.

Olympus Coliseum is one of the first three worlds visited in the game. If it is the third world, a cutscene with Maleficent talking to Pete will show, then another with Queen Minnie, which will then unlock Disney Castle. If Olympus Coliseum is the second world completed without a single leave, then you will automatically be taken to Hollow Bastion.
