Previously, the party managed to escape from Hades and his three-headed pooch, Cerberus. Hades did not seem inclined to listen to Sora, did he? Now, the party has to go report to Megara at the Coliseum.

So, they take the northern exit from the Underworld Entrance (time 0:58). As they head this way, there is a scene with Hades and Pete. Sounds like Hades wants to use Sora's Keyblade to unlock some sort of "killer coliseum" in the Underworld. His plan does not seem to bode well for Meg.

Anyway, the party finally arrives in the land of the living right outside Olympus Coliseum proper (time 2:25). After the brief scene the party is free to explore the Coliseum Gates area (time 2:49). There is not much to find out here, sadly.

A scene occurs as the party approaches the doors leading inside the Coliseum (time 3:53). Poor Herc looks bushed. After the voiced scene, there is an unvoiced scene inside the Coliseum Foyer (time 4:28). Hercules agrees to go get the Olympus Stone so the party can go teach Hades a lesson. Meanwhile, the party will take some training from Phil. They automatically get the Coliseum Map.

Afterwards, they can check out the Coliseum Foyer and save if desired (time 5:50). When they're ready, they head on into the Coliseum's arena (time 7:01). There is a scene with Philoctetes as they enter. Nice to see Phil still has counting problems! After the voiced scene, an unvoiced scene takes place (time 8:03).

Then, Sora will be free to explore the Coliseum's arena, simply called the Coliseum (time 8:28). Goofy has a pretty good tip.

After checking things, Sora talks to Phil to start the Phil's Training minigame (time 9:45). First, Sora must undertake the Practice session. This is pretty easy. Sora has 90 seconds to break pots and gather 20 points.

When Sora is done, there is a brief scene with Phil (time 10:55).

Then, Sora has to talk to Phil to take the next part of Phil's Training (time 11:32). Now, he has to go through the Maniac session. He has 90 seconds to collect 100 orbs. This is not very difficult, either, especially if a big pot appears.

Upon clearing the training, Sora gains a bonus level and learns Aerial Dive (time 12:34). He is now at Bonus Level 12. In the scene afterwards, Hercules arrives, but he is pretty quiet.

Afterwards, Sora talks to Hercules (time 14:16). Herc has bad news about the Olympus Stone. It seems to have been stolen by an Organization XIII member. Also, Meg seems to be missing.

Just then, Hades arrives for a voiced scene (time 15:31). Sounds like Herc is in quite a fix, but fortunately, there are three (junior) heroes on the scene to help out.

After that, we rejoin the party in the Coliseum Foyer (time 17:13).

So, now it's back to the Underworld. Another scene occurs, though, as the party heads from the Coliseum Gates to the Underworld Entrance (time 18:32). Phil seems to have run across the Olympus Stone's thief.

When the party regains control, they can now head to the southeast path, which had previously been blocked by an enchanted flame (time 19:45). On this path, the party finds a treasure chest containing a Power Boost (time 20:16). This item permanently increases a party member's Strength stat by 1.

Next, they will chase the thief into the Underworld Caverns. They may also find some clue concerning Meg's whereabouts.

Thank you for watching!
