Easy Dragon Knight with Lloyd:

Let the Dragon Knight use Fireballs, and when he’s send his last one, use Tempest on the dragon knight, then Sword Blade Alpha and end with Rising Falcon. You should have dealt great damage and end up behind him.

If the dragon doesn’t fly up, Use Rising Falcon to get behind him, and use Raging Tiger Blade multiple times to keep him immobilized. If perchance, he turns around, use Rising Falcon to get behind him again.

Easy Dragon Knight with Kratos:

Believe it ot not, but if you can get Kratos behind the Dragon Knight, there is a way to secure your victory. Wait for the Dragon Knight to take flight and quickly run under him. Then when you'll be behind him, turn around and slash him three time and end with a Demon Fang. Repeat the combo as many times as necessary and you can't lose since he'll never turn around.

Easy Dragon with Regal: (Thanks BeanbeanMan29)

When you have a chance to attack him, do one kick, Crecent of Dark Moon and while in the air, use Eagel Fall/Eagle Dive. The right after that, use Mirage to go behid him and if it is done correctly, the dragon should attack the side you aren't on. This will give you a chance to attack and do do this process over and over again.

Battle SelesEarliest Point: After you’ve visited Seles at the SE Abbey
Cutoff Point: n/a
Other Requirements: Eight characters are in the party, beat advanced Coliseum, see two scenes with Seles outside the coliseum while Zelos is in the party
Reward: Last Fencer, Elemental Circlet, Optional Boss, Story

Win the Advanced class a second time with any character you want, and after you’ve defeated the Dragon Knight, Seles, Zelos’s sister will walk in and demand a match against you.

Seles:

HP: 12000
TP: 800
EXP: 8960
Gald: 12000
ATK: 1300
DEF: 420
Drops: Last Fencer, Elemental Circlet
Steal: ---
Weak VS: ---
Strong VS: Water, Wind, Fire, Earth

She drops the powerful Last Fencer (added damage to humans) for Zelos or Kratos and a nice piece of armor, the Elemental Circlet.

Defeat Seles again:

Believe it or not, you can fight her twice! The second time only happens if you’re on the Kratos ending (past the Derris Emblem trap scenes in Welgaia) and already defeated her before entering the Tower of Salvation after the Flanoir Scene.

Coliseum Special GuestsEarliest Point: After you’ve visited Seles at the SE Abbey
Cutoff Point: n/a
Other Requirements: Eight characters are in the party, beat advanced Coliseum party mode
Reward: Optional Boss, Mumbane, Star Cloak, Krona Symbol

If you beat the Advanced Class party battles to obtain an Extreme Symbol, you’ll be given the chance to fight three characters from prior Tales games: Garr, Farah Oersted and Meredy. Being three tough opponents, many argue that this battle is tougher than Abyssion, myself included.

Garr:

HP: 20000
TP: 150
EXP: 3200
Gald: 4800
ATK: 1650
DEF: 450
Drops: Mumbane
Steal: ---
Weak VS: ---
Strong VS: Water, Lightning, Ice, Darkness

Farah Oersted:

HP: 20000
TP: 150
EXP: 3300
Gald: 2800
ATK: 1705
DEF: 455
Drops: Star Cloak
Steal: ---
Weak VS: ---
Strong VS: Fire

Meredy:

HP: 16000
TP: 1450
EXP: 2100
Gald: 2800
ATK: 800
DEF: 390
Drops: Krona Symbol
Steal: ---
Weak VS: ---
Strong VS: ---

To make this battle easy, You should have a healer with you, say Raine. You could also bring Kratos or Zelos. I brought Lloyd around for comboing. Anyways, to beat them, I’d say you should focus on taking down Meredy. I suggest having a beast-based attack to keep Farah away and keeping an eye on Garr since he often seems to like to pick on magic users. Now, go after Meredy, not only because she has less defense and HP, but also because she can revive her party members. When she’ll be down, one of the party members will revive her with a Life Bottle (They only have one, this strategy was meant to have them waste it), so go after her again. Whenever she’s been taken care of, I suggest taking care of Garr since he is a threat to your magic users and since he attacks from afar, he can also interrupt you when you are in the process on making combos. After he is dealt with, Farah should be much easier.

So these guy drop great items such as the Mumbane and the Star Cloak… and… another… Krona Symbol…

Anyways, this is a great challenge and don’t forget, you can actually use items in this battle. Many don’t know that since it’s a coliseum battle.

To make this easy, remember that when the Katz jumps in joy, press L, and when the Katz moves as though he cries, press R. These two buttons will never change. As for the rest, you may try to remember them in a clockwise motion and repeat them over and over again. Anyways, here are the prizes list:
