Installation
Unzip the file and put it in ".../KINGDOM HEARTS III/Content/Paks/~mods/".
This mod works both with the Epic and Steam version.
Now simply head over to Apex in the Realm of Gods, and Meg and Pegasus will help you over to the Coliseum.
Removing the mod is safe. Even if you save at the Coliseum, you will be teleported to a random checkpoint if the mod is gone.
Steam Instructions
The Steam Deck update isn't compatible with the Coliseum.
This can be fixed by taking out or deleting all files ending with _0_P.pak from your Paks folder.
- Modifying the different ENVs and Checkmaps that the mod loads lighting from can break lighting.
- The Coliseum modifies Olympus Area Name, Save Area, Treasure, and the Lucky Emblem datatables.
New Additions
- New Area - The Coliseum has been added to the Realm of the Gods overworld, featuring an area name, custom mini-map, and save point.
- New Collectibles - Two Treasure Chests and one special Lucky Emblem have been added to the Coliseum.
- New NPCs - Meg, Phil, and Pegasus are here to help you out, now with voice acting!
Main Features
- Cups, Old and New - Recreated cups from KH1 and KH2, as well as new ones!
- Scoring System - You gain score from defeating enemies. You gain more the faster you defeat them and the higher your health percentage.
- Difficulty Modes - In addition to the standard difficulty, there's Hard Mode similar to Paradox Cups from KH2, as well as an extra Challenge Mode.
- Progression Gating - Cups are locked off based on your progress in the game. This can be circumvented in the Settings.
- Cup Rewards - Completing a Cup for the first time will grant you various item rewards.
- Trophy Stand - There's a stand in the Coliseum for all the trophies you've earned. Earning all these trophies will award the Coliseum Crown.
- Rulesets - Matches come with a variety of rulesets and restrictions.
- Dynamic Lighting and Music - Music and lighting is set on a per match basis, giving a lot of flexibility.
- Crowd - A Kingdom Hearts first: an actual crowd! The crowd density can be adjusted, and their size and colours are randomized.
Coliseum Menu
- Party Override - The Party is normally set on a per match basis. You can set your desired Player and Allies in the Coliseum.
- Continue Feature - If you exit a Cup before it's completed, you can continue where you left off.
- Tutorials - A submenu where several of the Coliseum's core mechanics are explained in more detail.
- Settings - Here you can change your settings and delete your progress.
- Profiles - Change your profile to change your saved progress.
- Unlock Everything - Gives access to all series, cups, and matches regardless of progress.
- Crowd Density - The amount of people in the audience.
- Crowd Volume - Set the volume of the crowd's cheering.
- No Restrictions - Disables restrictions such as those on Forms and Shotlocks.
- Always Scale Enemies - Scales enemies to match your level.
- Enemy Defeat Taunts - Toggle whether Sora will occasionally make taunts when enemies are defeated.
- Coliseum Crown - Earned by completing all main Cups. Can be loaded in other worlds by adding "ColiseumCrown" to the ModLoader.
...and a whole lot more.
KH3 Modloader - Not required, but needed if you want the Coliseum Crown to load in other levels.
Party REHAUL AI - Not required, but non-Disney party members will often not function without it.
Zodiac Phantom Aqua - Required for the Gold Cup to function.
This will require just a little bit of modding know-how, but here's the guide for it.
Once complete the new .pak file can simply be placed in your mod folder.
If you've made your own series, please upload it on Nexus with the Coliseum as a dependency.
List of published User Series:
Wenitimu - various character-themed cups and more
- Custom enemies, including Sephiroth, is something I want to include eventually. Some custom enemy variants have been made.
...and more polish and fine-tuning.
- There are no known crashes at this time, if you experience one, please report it.
Major Bugs
- Some enemies don't function properly when spawned manually like here in the Coliseum, but a lot of functionality has been restored!
- LimitCut Xigbar's action command "Showdown" will lock you in place.
- Killing Sköll in his cutscene will cause a fairly long slowdown, but it will eventually move on.
- Exp Zero does not function when the player character isn't Sora. This is just how abilities work.
-
Minor Bugs
- Sora as an ally can cause issues, often being replaced with other allies, or not appearing. This is not caused by the Coliseum.
- The Moogle Shop sometimes doesn't want to appear.
- While cup restrictions can stop you from activating forms, they still appear among your reaction commands.
- Enemies can leave "attacks" or effects when they die.
- Player and allies don't idle underwater properly the first time they are underwater on transition.
- Focus meter greys out after swimming, and doesn't return to normal afterwards. Magic commands also display sea-variants, but still work.
- Starting a tutorial and returning to the Realm of the Gods will not load in the Coliseum.
- Using a shotlock while a match is being completed can cause camera issues, at least for Aqua and Riku.
- Using Spellweaver and then switching to Sora can cause issues.
- The track for Lump of Horror has a very long intro, and won't skip forward the first time it is played.
- LimitCut Saïx will leave his HUD on-screen after being killed (currently set to be invisible).
