Defeat Arena Champion

Defeat Gladiator Champion's First Phase

Follow the quest marker to the arena and face off with the Gladiator Champion. He spawns two Chasm Guardian Echoes to fight alongside him, but keep your focus on the Gladiator Champion as defeating him will end the first phase of the battle.

Defeat Gladiator Champion's Second Phase

The second phase will trigger after his first defeat, and he will spawn Prism Echoes to aid him in battle. Take out all of the Prism Echoes first as they power him up, then focus all of your attacks on the Gladiator Champion after.

The Gladiator Champion is officially defeated after the second phase and will end the quest after you have properly talked to and bid farewell to the people marked at the Exile Camp.
