The Arena is on the middle level of Core City, west of Hardcore City Bar and the merchant area. You can fight in the arena for money, glory and admission to Gauntlet.

After you've become a gladiator, the oligarchs of Core City also have some extra work for you.

Objectives

Defeat all your opponents in the Arena.

Walkthrough

You progress in the arena simply by winning fights.

Challenger fights

You'll start your arena career in these fights, fighting alongside two other randomly chosen challengers against groups of wildlife. Since each match has a large group of enemies, AoE weapons such as grenades are especially effective.

1. Rathounds (50 charons) — 7 Rathounds, 3 Rathound Alphas, 1 Ancient Rathound

2. Psi beetles (75 charons) — 9 Azuridae

3. Siphoners (100 charons) — 7 Siphoners

4. Burrowers (150 charons) — 6 Spawn, 4 Burrowers

From this point on, you will be fighting other challengers in 1v1 battles.

5. Pulverizer (200 charons)

6. Bull's Eye (300 charons)

Gladiator fights

After defeating Bull's Eye, you will become a gladiator and the spectators will give you a nickname based on your fighting style. All gladiator fights are 1v1 fights against other gladiators. Garry just outside the arena building can give you information about your next opponent and some tips. If Lanista tells you to wait while he organizes the next match, visiting Garry and returning is enough to get the next match started.

After you have defeated your first gladiator enemy, Core City oligarchs should have some work for you.

After you have defeated gladiators up to and including Chemical Agent, you can also apply for the Gauntlet.

1. Master Exploder (400 charons)

2. Chemical Agent (500 charons and admission to Gauntlet)

3. Surgeon (600 charons)

4. Zap (700 charons)

5. Stygian Exorcist (800 charons)

6. Dread Lord (1000 charons and title of Invictus) — Instead of Dread Lord you will be fighting Carnifex, or Garry as you know him from earlier.
