Previously, Data-Sora continued the 30-Layer challenge at Olympus Coliseum. He made it to the save room past Layer 29. Now, he will take on the final boss of the challenge.

Sora takes the portal to Layer 30 (time 0:20). Hopefully, they'll soon find out if they're near the end of the line!

Continuing up to the arena, Sora and company run into Hades (time 1:17). Hades summons his "chill" minion, the Ice Titan.

After the intro, the battle begins (time 2:26). Ice Titan has Ice Meteor, which can strike party members randomly with icy meteors. Ice Breath strikes the entire party. Ice Lance strikes party members randomly with numerous ice shards.

This is the time to use your combat licenses. Defense-L, Strength-L, Regen-L, and Auto-Block-L are all useful, as are others. He is weak to fire attacks, such as Explosion, but lightning attacks like Subjugate and Zeus's Spear also work well. Just don't use ice-attribute attacks. Be sure to have Cura and/or Curaga for healing. Don't forget to renew buffs after they wear off. Connecting combos is helpful. Also, have some Reload-Ls to recharge commands.

After the Ice Titan has been reduced to ice cubes, the 30-Layer challenge of Olympus Coliseum is complete (time 7:21). As long as you defeat all the enemies and destroy all the bug blocks, it should be easy, if tedious, to get S-Rank. Doing this in Critical Mode scores Sora Triple Pursuit, Exo Spark, and Zantetsuken. Sora will also obtain the Leather Gloves, the final quest item for Phil.

A scene with Hades follows (time 7:43). It's almost a shame he doesn't stick around for another battle.

Then, we repeat the scenes that occur at the end of Olympus Coliseum (time 8:28).

Afterwards, Sora returns to Olympus Coliseum for Questploration (time 11:55). He talks to Phil in the Vestibule. Phil issues his third and final quest: to find a pair of Leather Gloves. This is a prize for completing the 30-Layer challenge, and Sora already has it. Quest accepted!

Sora talks to Phil again after accepting the quest (time 12:25). He hands in the Leather Gloves. Phil rewards him with the Liberty Crown. This accessory prevents enemies from locking Sora's commands. Quest complete!

After setting up his commands again, Sora heads Outside the Coliseum (time 13:42). It is now home to a dangerous group of Invisibles, WIzards, and Air Soldiers. Probably a good place to level up.

During the battle, Sora gains a Level Up chip (time 15:31). Afterwards, he installs the chip and jumps to Level 55 (time 16:41).

Back in the Vestibule, he reviews his world progress so far (time 17:11). Then, he heads back to Hollow Bastion Part 2. He checks out some of his new goodies.

Then, he reviews the new Debug Reports (time 18:44). He earns the trophy "Icer of Titans" for defeating the Ice Titan. He earns the reward King Mickey's Hair for earning two trophies. Also, he obtains another Trophy Chip. He installs the Trophy Chip in his Stat Matrix, though the effect won't be apparent until he regains his power.

Next time, Sora will begin seeking his lost power in Hollow Bastion Part 2.
