Fighting in the arena | Side missions Sacred 3 Guide
Last update: 11 May 2016
Missions of this kind consist in surviving the successive waves of opponents. Each successive wave is, theoretically, tougher to survive - there appear more enemies and they usually are stronger. The condition of success is to defeat all of them in each wave.
Hidden grotto
You need to withstand five successive enemy waves, It is not too difficult - after each successive wave, you have a moment to catch your breath, which it is best to spend collecting gold or replenishing your health and energy. When the miniboss appears with the last wave, deal with some of the smaller opponents first and then take to the miniboss. Defeating him should not be too demanding and surviving five waves ends this mission.
Unlocks: Totem of energy
Lost catacombs
The mission consists in surviving five waves of enemies. As you progress, it is going to be more and more difficult. During the onslaughts, try to attack the shamans first and the enemies that whirl with their blades. Watch out for the ones that target you with violet crossbows - moving around will make it more difficult to get you. During the third wave, there appears another element that complicates life - dropping stones that you need to watch out for. Finally, there will appear a troll in the battlefield - keep cautious, because his attacks may stun you, which makes you temporarily exposed to a combo. Eliminate the minor enemies firs and then take to the miniboss. After victory, you will be able to ick some gold.
Unlocks: Protective aura
Oak grove
The first three waves are not a problem - there appear many weak enemies (beetles, spiders). Eliminate these waves quickly, because they may deal serious damage if you get cornered (explosive beetles). From the fourth wave on, your task should be the horned shamans, because it is them that pose major threat. With the appearance of the miniboss in the last wave, focus on the minor monsters first and then fight the elite monster. He attacks mainly with his paw and knocking jumps.
Unlocks: Totem of health
Defiled Mausoleum
The initial waves are nothing difficult - there are many zombies but they do not pose a major threat. In the following waves, the situation is similar - lots of undead and some other specters. Eliminate them first and the undead, kill somewhat by the way. Thanks to this, you will avoid stronger attacks and complete this task.
Unlocks: Silver guardian
Swinelet
The first two waves are not a problem - first attack the crossbowmen that appear at the edges of the arena. Also, watch out for the whirling blademasters - do not allow them to gain momentum because they become lethal. With the fourth wave, there appear shamans - now they are your priority. The final wave is lots of various monsters that appeared earlier and finally, two elite trolls. Defeat their minions first, and focus on either of them - once one falls, the other is no challenge.
Unlocks: Savvy bomb
