New battles await you, Tarnished. In this free update, the doors of the Colosseums have opened in Elden Ring and the Arenas located in the Lands Between call upon all worthy warriors. Will you fight for honor, or glory?
As you may have heard, the previously inaccessible Colosseums in the game have been opened with the latest free patch for Elden Ring! Many adventurers have passed by these structures with curiosity and wonder. Now, the wait is over and the highly requested Arena modes are all ready for you!
PvP Modes
You can find an Arena in each of the three Colosseums: Limgrave, Caelid, and Leyndell. Each Colosseum will have a room where players can walk up and interact with the effigy of Marika to access multiplayer modes.
Additionally, it will be possible to initiate combat via the effigy of Marika at Roundtable Hold, using the formats of Colosseums already visited. The rulesets will differ depending on the Arena you enter, so let’s dive a little deeper into what to expect once you past the doors of each Colosseum.
Limgrave Colosseum
Explore the path north of Warmaster’s Shack to arrive at the Limgrave Colosseum. The Arena here will feature two modes, United Combat and Combat Ordeal.
- United Combat: In this mode, you will be divided into two opposing teams. The objective is to collect points as a team, and the spoils go to the team with the most points after the time limit. Death does not stop a team member in this mode, for when a player dies, they will continue to respawn and can keep fighting until time is up.
- Combat Ordeal: In this mode, you will brawl individually until the warrior with the highest elimination points stands as the sole victor. Like United Combat, players can respawn when they are killed.
Players can use a group password to match with their friends for these two modes.
Royal Colosseum
Venture over to Leyndell to find the Colosseum near the West Capital Rampart Site of Grace. The Arena within will hold one mode, Duel.
Duel: Just as the name implies, this mode is a duel between two players. Two combatants will fight each other in a 1 versus 1 battle. Unlike United Combat and Combat Ordeal, the first one to slay their opponent is the victor. There will be no respawn, no second chances.
Caelid Colosseum
Make your way over to northern Caelid to find all three modes above (Duel, United Combat, Combat Ordeal) but with Spirit Ashes enabled.
Combatants can use whichever Spirit Ash they prefer. In United Combat and Combat Ordeal, if a combatant dies then the Spirit Ash will disappear with them. When the player respawns, the individual can summon again, or even choose another one to summon.
The max number of players in United Combat and Combat Ordeal is 6 players, with each of them having the ability to summon their own Spirit Ash.
The new 1.08 patch is available now for free in Elden Ring. Join your fellow Tarnished and battle for glory. Remember… if you fall, do not lose faith. Your rise to victory is in your hands.
