Objectives[edit]

• Pursue and defeat the Deserters!

Story summary[edit]

Roxas once again goes after Deserters on behalf of theOrganization.

Mission walkthrough[edit]

You will start out outside as usual. The chests in the outside corners are real treasure chests, but the one against the west wall is aCymbal Monkey in disguise, so be aware. Whatever your choice, head into theColiseum Vestibule, and then intoThe Coliseum. You don't even have to talk toPhil this time around to go in.

This time with the Deserters is a little different than in previous missions; they have invited their cousins, theSoldiers, along to play. Soldiers will keep re-spawning throughout the round, and won't stop until the Deserters stop spawning. So unless you are in the market for a massive heart chain, don't worry about the Soldiers and focus on the Deserters. You can choose to hit barrels into your enemies as well, but it's usually just more efficient to whack them with a decentKeyblade.

Once the mission is complete, be sure to grab the well-hiddenOrdeal Badge towards the southwestern corner before leaving the Coliseum to RTC; this mission really doesn't take long at all.

Challenge Mission[edit]

This should be an easy mission as magic andLimit Breaks are all you need here to bring down the Deserters and get back to the entry point to RTC. Just try to keep an eye on where you are to avoid wasting time on Soldiers when using a Limit Break.
