The Arena

The Arena.png

About

The Arena is a combat ordeal hosted in the various colosseums around The Lands Between. There is no pre-requisite for entering, all you need to do is head over to one of the colosseums, open the doors, and speak to the Ranni Puppet sitting there.

Speaking of, the Puppet has a shop open where you can purchase various armor and weapons ported from other games in exchange for a new currency, Gold Coins. These coins are granted to the victors of The Arena.

Each Arena begins as a series of set encounters that you defeat in a set order. Once you defeat each one once you can challenge them again in a randomized order or reset your progress to play them in order again.

Seamless Co-Op

If you're playing with your friends using Seamless Co-Op, be sure to select the menu option for that when talking to the Ranni Puppet. If you don't, things will likely break.

Spoilers for the encounters below! Don't read on if you'd rather be surprised.
