There are six large battle arenas in Depths of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. As soon as Link examines the central Treasure Chest, the gates close and several waves of enemies appear. Only after defeating all opponents will the chest with a rare headdress open.
The arenas can generally be reached early, but some fights are among the hardest optional challenges in the game. In particular, the Floating Coliseum with five consecutive Lynels should only be entered with improved armor, strong bows, multiple shields and sufficient Sundelion meals.

Preparation for the arenas
Take strong one-handed weapons, at least three shields, a multi-shot bow, 50 or more arrows, Puffshrooms, Muddle Buds, Ice Fruit and several sol dishes. Activate nearby glowroots before entering the arena. The gates will close during the challenge, but you can teleport across the map and restart the attempt later.
Smoke mushrooms enable surprise attacks against normal monsters. Madbuds cause enemies to attack each other. Armored enemies must first be dismantled using hammer weapons, bomb flowers or suitably enhanced arrows.
Scorching Coliseum – Zantos helmet
The arena is located in Depths of Eldin east of the Fire Temple. You fight against red, blue, black and silver Moblins one after the other before several variants appear at the same time in the final wave. Freeze individual enemies or use Puffshrooms to defeat the slow Moblins with surprise attacks. Zanto’s helmet prevents complete freezing from cold attacks.
Desert Coliseum – Shiek Mask
The Desert Coliseum is located south of the Abandoned Gerudo Mine. Horriblins appear here in increasing strength. Shoot down the enemies hanging from the ceiling with headshots. Electric and Ice Fruit prevent multiple Horriblins from jumping at you at the same time. The Shiek Mask increases Link’s stealth ability.
Floating Coliseum – Majora’s Mask
The Floating Coliseum is located directly below the Coliseum Ruins on the surface. You have to defeat five Lynels in a row: a red, a blue, a white-maned, a silver and finally an armored silver Lynels. The last enemy’s stone armor must first be destroyed with hammer, bomb or Lynel hoof hits.
Parry the attacks with the shield or dodge at the last moment. A headshot stuns the Lynels, then you can climb onto its back. Attacks on the back do not consume weapon durability. Majora’s Mask fools many common monster types and reduces spontaneous attacks.
Secluded Coliseum – Ravios cap
The Secluded Coliseum is located south of the Abandoned Kakariko Village Mine. It contains multiple waves of fire, ice, electric, black and silver Lizalfos. Always uses the opposite element: Ice defeats Fire-Breath Lizalfos immediately, Fire destroys Ice-Breath Lizalfos. Ravio’s Hat increases Link’s lateral climbing speed.
Lone Island Coliseum – Midnas helmet
The arena is located under the Eventide Island island and can only be reached via the chasm on the island. Multiple Bokoblin waves get stronger every round. Use Bomb Arrows and Yunobo’s ability against closed groups. Midna’s helmet offers Gloom protection.
Forest Coliseum – Korok mask
The Forest Coliseum lies beneath the northwestern edge of the Hyrule Forest. Follow the banana trail to trigger the Yiga trap. Only a Black Hinox appears. Hit his eye with arrows and attack his legs while he’s stunned. The Korok Mask will start to rattle as soon as an undetected Korok is nearby.
