"My domain exists outside the march of time. It is unseen and unknown, beyond life and death. Until the day the bell of the goddess tolls, this realm welcomes not the living."

—Arbiter of Time

The Coliseum is a battle arena in Final Fantasy XIII-2 located in the Void Beyond, and is where those from distant past battle without end until the Day of Reckoning. The Coliseum contains many of the downloadable content battles featured in the game.

DatalogEdit

See also: Datalog/Locales (Final Fantasy XIII-2).

In a lost corner of the Void Beyond, there is a place where mighty souls gather. It is a testing ground for powerful warriors from every age and every reality, who come to pit their fighting skills against one another. On the Day of Reckoning, it is said these combatants will join the battle to end all battles.

Only one law governs the Coliseum—the weak serve the strong. The one that stands triumphant in this arena commands unswerving loyalty from the rest.

StoryEdit

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow. (Skip section)

Final Fantasy XIII-2Edit

While looking for a way to resolve the paradox that occurs in the Sunleth Waterscape 300 AF, Serah, Mog, and Noel visit the Coliseum in search of a fragment. During their search they encounter the Arbiter of Time, who demands them to leave his domain. After the Arbiter mentions an 'omen' corrupting the domain, Noel asks him to give the party the item in return for their retreat. The Arbiter hands over the 'omen', which turns out to be the White Hole Gem fragment, and asks them to leave.

The Graviton Cores document that Snow Villiers is trying to find the Coliseum in order to become stronger, as seen in the DLC scenario, Snow: Perpetual Battlefield. Once the Hope's Message fragment is obtained from New Bodhum 700 AF, a treasure box can be opened to reveal a wealth of high level monster materials.

Snow reaches the Coliseum and engages its occupants in battle. Serah challenges Snow to show him how much she has matured on her journey with Noel. Afterwards, Noel and Serah see a dark force surround Snow, binding him to the Coliseum. As Noel asks Snow if he got on anyone's bad side since he left the Sunleth Waterscape, Serah catches a glimpse of a figure resembling Yeul enveloped in chaos. Bound to the Coliseum, Snow is forced to stay with its occupants until he can be freed.

Spoilers end here.

Bringer of the EndEdit

"A relic, long forgotten by the children of man.
A weapon so dreadful it was sealed away—banished to another realm entirely.
Omega. A fitting name for this machine and the utter devastation it wrought.
Only after the end of a civilization, did this engine of destruction grow silent.
But now, the weapon stirs from its dormant state.
And this time it will not cease its terrible rampage.
Not until the full breadth of existence is shattered...
This nightmare machine leave naught but ruin in its wake. Will you be the ones to dismantle it?"
