Arena 3

Trial III: Normal

Kill grunts to break the Elite's shield.

In this trial, an Elite unit will remain invulnerable until the nearby grunts or lesser enemies are defeated. Once the grunts are defeated, you’ll have a brief window to damage the elite enemy. Grunts will replenish over time so you’ll have to Kill them quickly and ensure to land powerful attacks on the elite while they’re vulnerable. Atreus’ shock arrows will help a lot in softening up or even quickly killing the grunts.

Trial III: Hard

Kill enemies while they're inside the gold rings

For this trial, the best way to do this is by softening the enemies up by using Atreus’ shock arrows and normal attacks then luring them back to the ring where you can finish them off preferably by using AoE runic attacks. You don’t need to be standing inside the ring when you finish them off; it’s even recommended to fight just outside the ring so you can lure more enemies with the ring in front of you. You have to accomplish this task in multiple waves within the time limit.

Wave 1 (5 enemies, 2:00 time limit)

The first wave consists of basic draugrs. Since they’re slow and predictable, you shouldn’t have problems dealing with them.

Wave 2 (5 enemies, 3:00 time limit)

For the second wave, you’ll have to deal with basic dark elf grunts and more draugrs. The dark elves will be annoying with their delayed stun ranged attacks but the tactic remains the same. You need to fight defensively, preferably right outside the ring so if the annoying flying pests dive in, you can pulverize them instantly with a runic attack.

Wave 3 (5 enemies, 4:00 time limit)

In this wave, the ring will only remain active in a specific spot for a few seconds before disappearing and appearing on another spot. In this wave, heavy draugrs will also join the fray. To deal with this challenge, attack enemies normally until their HP is critically low then lure them to a ring and finish them off with runic attacks.
