Mission Walkthrough
As soon as you arrive, it's time to jump into the frey! You'll be greeted by three friendly Li'l Cannons Outside; take them out, grab the chest and proceed through the Vestibule straight into the Coliseum itself where you'll be welcomed by your target: the Morning Star. He has a couple of Li'l Cannons of his own to assist him, whose targeting skills will make this battle tricky. It's useless to take out Cannons as they respawn, so focus your efforts on the Morning Star.

After defeating it, the Cannons will continue to respawn for a while, depending on how many you managed to dispose of during the battle. Once they're gone, take a look around; most of the treasures and badges of this Mission are in this area. The Ordeal set might be tough to reach without Air Slide, Glide, or a similar ability, but they're not impossible to snag the first time around if you come prepared.

And that's all. Oh, no wait, it's not! When you return Outside, a Zip Slasher has decided to hang out while you were gone. Taking him out isn't too bad; he just has a lot of health. Luckily, you have Xigbar to help wear him down! Once he's gone, mission complete, and time to RTC!
