- RequiresChildren of the SunThe free intro quest to Varlamore, required to reach the Colosseum.
Getting there, and what to bring
Reaching the Colosseum at all requires having completed Children of the Sun, the quest that opens Varlamore — a real gate, though it's a quest requirement the site's data pipeline for this page didn't capture structurally, so it's noted here in prose rather than invented as a field. Beyond that, there is no fixed item requirement: every wave shows you the loot on offer before it starts, and you choose whether to press on and risk it or bank what you have and leave. What you fight in is a combat-build question this page won't try to answer.
The enemies you'll face
Waves draw from a randomised pool of Varlamorean fighters, with reinforcements arriving if a wave takes too long. None of these is a specific kill requirement — the wave composition is randomised — but every one that exists as a card is below.
