Gladiator 1: Battle for the Electrolyzer
Ratchet has to win this battle to advance the game. You need the electrolyzer to get off the space station. Fight Gladiator warriors and security robots. 6 rounds of fighting and no reload crates. There are Nanotech health spheres around the perimiter of the arena. Don't fall off. The electrical fields will injure you. Win the battle = electrolyzer. Subsequent wins = 500 bolts.

Gladiator 2: Hazard Challenge
Ratchet needs to withstand 5 rounds of enemies. Everything from Gladiator warriors, to blade-balls, to security robots. To make matters worse, parts of the floor switch to nasty steam vents, rotating fan blades and electrical discharge pads. There are no weapon reload crates. Use the heavy lancer and gravity bomb. Win the battle = 500 bolts. Subsequent wins = 500 bolts

Gladiator 3: Chainblade Challenge
This is a big boss Gladiator enemy. He is huge and carries a mean set of blades that fire electrical lightning bolts. Not nice!
All you have to do is beat him down. Chainblade's health bar is in the lower left corner of the screen. Best offence is first strike with the mini-nuke bomb. I wouldn't attempt it with anything less. Win the battle = 800 bolts. Subsequent wins = 500 bolts.
|
Skill Point - Defeat Chainblade with just your wrench (no weapons).

Gladiator 4: Time Challenge 30 seconds
This battle is destroying 30 enemies in 30 seconds. The secret here is speed and multiple enemy damage. The best weapon is the blitz gun. It has 40 shots, so you can easily get through this, if you aim well. Ratchet has to clear each wave before more enemies come out, so this is attack-mode seek and destroy. Win the battle = 1,000 bolts. Subsequent wins = 500 bolts.

Gladiator 5: Battle The B2 Brawler
I hate robots! Especially really big ones! This thing is a cross between a spider and long-legged camel with an attitude. Best offence is mini-nuke bombs and then if you run out, I would use the blitz gun. Avoid his sweeping legs when he crouches to the ground. Just run like mad when he approaches. Win the battle = 1,500 bolts. Subsequent wins = 500 bolts.
|
Skill Point - Defeat B2 Brawler without any loss of health (no injury).

Gladiator 6: Time Challenge 60 seconds
Like the first time challenge, this one throws everything at you. Best option is to use weapons that destory multiple enemies all at once. My choice mini-nuke bombs & blitz gun. You cannot be passive in this challenge. You have to be aggressive and run and chase enemies. Win the battle = 2,000 bolts. Subsequent wins = 500 bolts.
|
GAMEPLAY FOR HEAVY WEAPONS: I suggest you spend a whole gaming day in this arena area. Bring your friends over and have fun battle challenges. The more you play the more bolts you get, and the more weapons you can buy. The more you use your weapons, the faster they become heavy weapons. Life is good!

Gladiator 7: Mega-Challenge
The Gladiators throw everything at you. 9 rounds of constant onslaught with traps in the floor. I did this battle later-on in the game with enhanced weapons like the sythenoid robot assistants. When they ran out I used the mini-turret glove and planted turrets around me in a circle. Round 10 is Chainblade. Win the battle = 4,000 bolts. Subsequent wins = 700 bolts.

Gladiator 8: Limited Weapon Challenge
THIS IS VERY TOUGH!! Only 300 shots with the heavy lancer. That's all you get and no wrench available. 16 rounds of gladiator warriors, lots of bladeballs and security robots. This is no mercy. Think multiple hits and anything close to the edge of the arena, to knock them off first. Win the battle = 4,000 bolts. Subsequent wins = 800 bolts.

Gladiator 9: Chainblade and B2 Tag-Team
This is just not fair! You definitely need alot of weapons for this fight. Chainblade and B2 Brawler exchange the arena from time to time, as their health winds down. I started by planting several turret guns with my mini-turret glove. I then loaded the synthenoid robot assistants battling B2 and then missles with the seeker gun. Win the battle = 5,000 bolts. Subsequent wins = 800 bolts.

 |
Gladiator 10: Endurance Challenge
20 rounds of constant battles. Use all your weapons. The more the better. I used synthenoid robot assistants, the mini-turret glove, then the mini-nuke bomb then the seeker gun. In between I used the heavy lancer to clean-up strays. Reload crates become available. Win the battle = 7,000 bolts. Subsequent wins = 800 bolts.
|
Gladiator 11: Ultimate Challenge. I will leave this up to your imagination. Needless to say this is long and tough. Reload crates are available. You need lots of Nanotech health. Win the battle = 9,000 bolts. Subsequent wins = 1,000 bolts.
