To taste glory, unlock various rare rewards andline their pockets with Geo, players must seek out the Colosseum of Fools and test their mettle in the arena. This guide will help players find the Colosseum, and explain what they can expect in its first challenge, theTrial of the Warrior.
Where Is The Colosseum Of Fools?
The Colosseum of Fools can be found at the very top of theKingdom’s Edge area- one that can be found connecting to the Ancient Basinby way of tram, City of Tears, and Royal Basin.
Reaching the Colosseum isn’t easy - the Kingdom’s Edge is a hostile area, home to several flying enemies that will spit projectiles and slowly pursue players as they ascend the cliffs. Skilled players will have mastered the art of ‘bouncing’ on enemies with well-timed downward slashes, but should still prioritize getting to safety as soon as possible - there are no benches or springs to rest at on the way to the Colosseum.
It’s easy to tell when the Colosseum of Fools is close - corpses from the arena frequently fall from the sky, and the platforming gets progressively harder. Players will eventually enter a cave, however, which shouldn’t prove too difficult to navigate - most of the challenging enemies are tucked away in optional areas. Still, players should be wary ofthe ‘belfly’ enemiesthat lurk on ceilings leading to the Colosseum, exploding near the player after noticing them.
After finally reaching the top of the cave, the Colosseum can be found to the far right - it’s inside the corpse of a giant worm.
