Colosseum Waves Detailed

The Fortis Colosseum features 12 waves of gladiatorial combat. This guide breaks down every wave, enemy type, and the optimal strategy for each.

Enemy Types

Fremennik Warrior: Melee. Moderate HP. Standard tank-and-spank.
Fremennik Archer: Ranged. Lower HP but hits hard. Prioritize these.
Fremennik Seer: Magic. Pray Magic when alive. Kill second priority after archers.
Jaguar Warrior: Fast melee. Dodges attacks. Use ranged to keep distance.
Serpent Shaman: Magic + healing. Kill these FIRST or they heal other enemies.
Manticore: All styles. Very tanky. Save these for last.
Minotaur: Heavy melee. Charges at you. Dodge the charge attack.

Basic Fremennik warriors and archers. Use melee. Save supplies.

Jaguar Warriors and Seers appear. Pray Magic against Seers, use Ranged against Jaguars. Kill order: Shaman > Archer > Seer > Melee

Manticores and Minotaurs join. These are tanky and hit hard. Use protection prayers and special attacks. Conserve food by praying correctly.

Multiple Manticores + Shamans + ranged enemies. This is where most runs fail. Focus Shamans first, then ranged, then melee.

The final boss. Multi-phase fight with melee combos, a shield phase, spear throws, and an enrage below 50% HP. Key mechanics:

Always take the easiest modifier offered. Do not stack hard modifiers early.
Avoid Doom modifiers that increase enemy accuracy (stacks badly with Sol Heredit).
Brawler and Dynamic modifiers are generally the most manageable.
