How To: Arena
Make sure you have a large amount of gold before you make your way into the Arena. Once you get inside, it is best to buy about 30-35 Health Potions, and an equal amount of Will Potions if you are a spell-caster. Purchase the best armor your budget will allow, if you do not have any already. The shopkeeper at the Arena is one of the best to buy armor from. Having good weapons (for example, a Flame and Silver-Augmented Ebony Greataxe, an Ebony Katana, and Oak Crossbow) whether you are a warrior, archer, or spell-caster will be imperative. You will face Hornets in the first round. Take them out with your katana. Second round is Hobbes. A few well-placed dodges and a decent thrashing with your katana will take care of them in a quick manner. The next round is Balverines. You will need a Silver Augmented weapon, preferably one with large damage, such as an axe. Balverines are weak to silver. If your Strength skills are not quite up to par, you may have a difficult time. Thrash your way through the beasts, using the twirling blades at the sides of the ring to your advantage whenever possible. Use the same strategy for the Undead. The axe will work better for the Zombies, as they are slower than the Balverines. When it is time for the Bandits, use your katana and bow whenever possible. You will find the axe extremely difficult to wield here, as the Bandits are fast. For the Earth and Stone Beasts, dodge their boulders until Whisper can cause a distraction to one of them. Using your axe, thrash them as long as possible, until they slam their fists down, in which case simply dodge backwards. Repeat this process until the first one is defeated, then use the same tactics on the remaining monster. In the final round you will fact a Giant Scorpion. This is easier than it appears. Use Whisper to distract it whenever possible. If your Archery skills are competent, shoot it with a well-charged arrow while it charges up for its underground attack. If not, just run up to it and give it a good thrashing with your katana. Its attacks are fairly easy to dodge, but stay as far away from it as possible. If it gets you on the ground, it is difficult to get up. Repeat this until it is defeated.
