Gladiator Subquest	comment	A staple of many Role Playing Games. This subquest, which is usually an optional Side Quest, but sometimes a part of the main quest, requires you to fight in some sort of gladiatorial combat. If done as a sidequest, expect rules to make this more difficult than standard combat. For example, you might be limited in your choice of gear, or the fight might include only One party member at a time, or some types of attacks (say magic for example) may be forbidden. It might also be the home of the Optional Boss and where the Infinity +1 Sword is found. Such restrictions are rarer if this is part of the main story line due to being mandatory to finish the game. Alternatively, it is possible that the player may only need to perform in a few ranks of the subquest to advance the main quest, the rest of the competition is optional. Main Story examples are usually Inevitable Tournaments, as you are likely to hear of the fight long before you actually have to take part in it. Compare Monster Arena.

Normally the reward was just gold and experience, but sometimes there were quests requiring beating a number of Arena fights at a specific difficulty.

You have the option of forfeiting the match, but you will get no refund. Slightly different in Genealogy of the Holy War, where units that lose a fight are left alive but with one HP ; the sum of money earned after each fight is preset; and instead of unlimited, random enemies, each unit can only face seven fixed adversaries.

You can only go through it once, and even then only Isaac gets to participate, with the other party members cheering for you (read:cheat by using Psynergy to make the obstacle courses easier, letting you get much better equipment). Strangely, winning is actually not required to progress, only costing an (admittedly useful) item if you lose. In a linked-game sequel, the three defeated gladiators will ambush you, accusing you of cheating until you beat them (likely using Psynergy).

In an underground settlement called The Thorn, you can pit various wasteland creatures against each other in combat, as well as participate in the combat against said creatures yourself. You can pay to set up your own custom matches, such as paying to make a Deathclaw and a Cazador fight. You can also simply bet small sums of caps on fights, betting on either the blue or red team, with no knowledge of the combatants on either side. The stoic, enigmatic caretaker of The Thorn, Red Lucy, can provide you with missions to fetch various eggs of dangerous creatures in the Mojave so she can train them for combat in the thorn, granting experience and large amounts of caps for completion. Upon the completion of all of the missions, the character can become very intimate with Red Lucy, as she respects the Courier for their strength.

The DLC itself was poorly received and is the only DLC not included in the Legendary Edition remaster (allegedly due to the files being corrupted). Then, the "Citadel" DLC for the third game brings back an expanded version where you can fight enemies from throughout the series.

It also prevents you from killing said idiot to loot his powerful and useful amulet — you can still get it, but only after the main quest.

Gladiator Subquest / int_9ef055f4	comment	Ratchet & Clank: Ever since the second installment, nearly every game has had one of these where Ratchet can compete in various challenges pitting him in multiple rounds against enemies and bosses, sometimes restricting which weapon he can use, or draining his health, or randomizing which weapon he has, among other things. In most games only the first challenge is required to progress through the storynote With the exceptions being Going Commando's second arena where there are two crucial items needed to be obtained, and Up Your Arsenal, Tools of Destruction, and Rift Apart where you go back to the arenas later, but you can compete in many more for bolts and the occasional weapon and gadget. Some notable points on these include: Going Commando was the game to introduce arenas to the series, and is also one of the only games in the franchise thus far to have multiple arenas with their own challenges. The arenas in both Up Your Arsenal and Into the Nexus have challenges based outside of arena combat, with the former having death courses and the latter having racing and platforming challenges in a canyon. The cell phone game Going Mobile!, due to it being a 2D sidescroller, restructures arenas to be levels the player must traverse in order to find all of the enemies they must defeat in order to beat the challenge. Size Matters is unique in that the arena challenges are exclusive to Clank and involve different objectives than what Ratchet usually gets: A destruction derby, scoring Gadgebots in a goal, and guiding Gadgebots to a goal in a Lemmings style minigame. All of Ratchet's segments in Secret Agent Clank act as arenas, as he tries to survive in prison while completing various objectives. The catch is the player will not obtain any bolts from enemies in these challenges until Clank purchases an upgrade to let Ratchet acquire them. Rift Apart goes back to just having combat challenges unlike Into the Nexus, however you can only play as Rivet in these sections (interestingly enough Ratchet is shown in the arena in the game's weapon demonstration videos). It is also the only game that places a boss fight in the arena that is both important to the plot and cannot be replayed, having Rivet fight Dr. Nefarious which then leads Emperor Nefarious to make his presence. The arenas proved to be so popular that the fourth installment on the PlayStation 2, Ratchet: Deadlocked, was based entirely around arena challenges.

Gladiator Subquest / int_a81325d3	comment	Final Fantasy: The Coliseum in Final Fantasy VI is an example of the optional version. A single party member is sent to do battle with a single enemy with their combat options chosen by A.I. Roulette. Characters that have been trained in lots of situational or Useless Useful Spells tend to do very poorly; characters that are highly customizable (Gogo) or with very limited but powerful options (Umaro) tend to fare better. Final Fantasy VII has the Gold Saucer Battle Arena, where you have to fight one time and afterward becames optional. A single party member (usually Cloud, since you Can't Drop the Hero meaning the rest of the party Can't Catch Up) goes through a number of rounds with no opportunity for rest in between, and randomized nerfing effects between rounds.

Gladiator Subquest / int_b5a2b326	comment	In Morrowind, you'll need to fight a number of battles in the Vivec Arena in order to advance through several factions. In particular, you'll need to do this to achieve guild leader status in the Imperial Legion, House Redoran, and the Mages' Guild.note There is a peaceful way to become head of the Mages Guild, but it lets the idiotic current head keep his prestigious title. It also prevents you from killing said idiot to loot his powerful and useful amulet — you can still get it, but only after the main quest. You'll need to battle Dram Bero's champion in order to gain his support in House Hlaalu as well.

Gladiator Subquest / int_d212a05e	comment	Resonance of Fate has the Arena located immediately adjacent to the starting town; you can go there in Chapter 1 for training in the game's battle system (almost all hunters do it), and in subsequent chapters for money and Arena Coins that let you buy some nice gear and ammo. You unlock the higher-tier fights in the coliseum by reaching the appropriate chapter in the storyline, and then beating the lower-tier arena fights three times each up to 50 ranks.

Gladiator Subquest / int_e60954ea	comment	Multiple games in the Armored Core series, starting with Project Phantasma feature the Arena, a ladder where the players take on dozens of other AC pilots. The specific format varies, but most iterations of the arena are one-on-one battles where the players get to select the zone of combat, and success is met with a cash reward and the occasional bonus part as the player ascends through the ranks. Notably the arena is a good way for beginning players to acquire cash as matches have no fee and unlike the main game, players do not have to spend money for repair and ammo expended. The fifth generation notoriously axed the arena entirely in favor of online duels only for it to return in Armored Core 6 with a new currency unique to it used to purchase special upgrades for their AC.
