[16:00 - 16:59]
[17:00 onwards], regardless of how packed or empty the entrance is, they make their way to the desk of an attendant, who gives a rehearsed spiel about the rotating schedule of events the colosseum has. While there are a wide variety of events, the Champion is only able to sign up for the gladiatorial combat, which occurs every day.
The attendant explains that a spectator ticket costs 50 EC, while a competitor ticket costs 500 EC. He muses that while most people are there to just watch, the Champion looks like they might want to compete - to which they can answer:
Option | Tooltip |
---|---|
Going to Win | You'll compete alright. |
Yes | You're pretty much guaranteed to enter at some point. |
Maybe | You'll consider entering. |
Whatever the Champion chooses has no significant impact, outside of a short variant for Going to WinAfter successfully defeating Alante in Solo combat, the change being what the Champion says after Alante mentions the last fight.

Gladiator Event
Between 8:00 to 10:59, the Champion can participate in by expending 1x Competitor Ticket. Upon spending the ticket, the Champion's party is fully healed.
First Time
The Champion reaches a sandy room filled with eager competitors, where an old lupine man gives a pre-combat speech about how most newcomers won't make it past the first round, that its all about experience and thinking. After his talk about the rules, he asks the Champion what they think about his prediction about the newcomers:

---|---|
Arrogant | As if the rabble even understands what they're in for. |
Dismissive | Who cares about what happens to the other fighters? |
Friendly | There's always a chance. |
Like the first visit to the Colosseum, the Champion's choice has no significant impact. Regardless of the choice, it changes a small variationentering the event changes a small variation in the first Flirt scene with Isadora, whether the colosseum is old news or not
additionally it is changed if the Champion has won at least once with Isadora.
Subsequent Times
Similar to that of the first time, the Champion enters the same room, with the old lupine giving his speech, the Champion notes that he was right, as they do feel they have a bit of an edge over the other fighters now that they have experience. If the Champion has won at least once, they know he's not talking to them, but to the up-and-comers and the scrappers.
The Gauntlet
At the staging area, the gladiators are ready and the pre-fight rituals are performed. Each companion, except Agnimitra and Viviane, have their own remark or gesture before the games begin.
Whatever the Champion chooses to do in the first round will carry on till the third/fourth round.
