How to start an arena battle

The principle of gaining access for each arena is the same: you need to destroy all the vases located around the perimeter of the site, then launch the test through the monument in the center of the arena. Use an enchantment "Revelio" to highlight these objects if you are having trouble finding them. As soon as you arrive at the location, a countdown of the remaining vases will appear at the top of the screen.

North Coast Battle Arena

One of the zones of interest to us is located in the north of the continent. We have reflected in the screenshots its location relative to the nearest point with a flying flame, which we propose to use as a starting point.

The vases are located near the walls covering the area. Break them all to start the challenge.

First wave

7 Enemies: Wizards, Spiders, Animagus Wolf

There will be many opponents with ranged attacks, so you can put it on the panel in advance, for example, " Diffindo ', leaving to control "Glacius". Immediately use ancient magic to interact with objects in the center of the arena - throwing stones and barrels at enemies will help you quickly deal with the first opponents. Then choose tactics based on your fighting style: either dodge long-range attacks, cracking down on melee enemies, or use control on them, clearing mages that are at a distance.

Note: if it is required to knock down shields, use spells of the same color as the shield to do this.

Second wave

7 enemies: infernals and mages

The strongest opponent at this stage will be Peplumba Gang Executioner, we advise you to immediately deal with him with the most powerful spells in your arsenal, after which it remains to finish off the infernals and snipers on the hills. It is convenient to go behind obstacles for a while, hiding from the line of fire and finishing off the approaching infernals.

Third wave

14 Enemies: Wizards, Animagus Wolf

This wave includes a wide variety of opponents. We advise you to deal with the weakest unshielded enemies first, such as infernals and poacher trackers.

Fourth wave

6 enemies: spiders

Poison Spider Matriarch poses the greatest danger, so either control it while dealing with smaller spiders, or immediately get rid of this dangerous target.

Fifth wave

16 enemies: mages, spiders, infernals

In the last wave of this arena, a hodgepodge of many opponents you have already met will come up against you. Acromantula is quite strong and will constantly haunt you, so we would recommend focusing the most powerful attacks on him, and then deal with weak infernals and spiders.

North Shore Arena Reward

Completing this challenge will immediately reward you with a robe visual style. "The Thief's Coat", well, besides this, experience for completing the arena and defeated opponents will go into the piggy bank.

Note: this arena is included in the achievement criteria "Test yourself", the achievement will be obtained when the battle arena of the south coast is also completed.

South Coast Battle Arena

You can find the South Arena in feldcroft, equidistant from the two teleportation points. You can choose any and then use the flying means of transportation. On the first visit, you will need to destroy all the vases, after which the battles in the arena will become available.
