Colosseums |
|---|
 |
|
The practice had died out by the age of King Consort Radagon, but remains of the arenas where ritual combat took place can still be found in every land.
|
Colosseums are special Locations in Elden Ring. They are large arenas placed around the Lands Between. Players can access the Colosseums and engage in Arena Style PvP matches for up to 6 players.
According to the Ritual Sword Talisman, the Colosseums were once arenas where ritualistic battles took place. Combats were held to honor the Erdtree but these rituals are no longer practiced.
Colosseum Locations
There are a total of 3 Colosseums in Elden Ring.
Locations:
- Limgrave: Large structure found in the north. Follow the path north of Warmaster's Shack. [Elden Ring Map Link]
- Caelid: The most northern part of main Caelid. Can be reached by using the Deep Siofra Well. [Elden Ring Map Link]
- Leyndell, Royal Capital: The Colosseum in Leyndell can be seen immediately when you enter the city from East Capital Rampart. [Elden Ring Map Link]
After activating them for the first time, players can reach them from the Roundtable Hold. There is a statue located next to the fireplace that can be interacted with to access the Colosseums.
List of Colosseums
- Limgrave Colosseum
- Caelid Colosseum
- Leyndell Colosseum (Royal Colosseum)
PvP Modes
Up to 6 players can:
- Duel Mode: Two Tarnished face off in a duel to the death, and without the ability to respawn. (Leyndell Colosseum, Caelid Colosseum)
- United Combat: combatants will be divided into two teams to fight in timed battles with the ability to respawn. Each death and respawn grants points to the adversaries, offering victory to the team with the higher score. (Limgrave Colosseum, Caelid Colosseum)
- Combat Ordeal: it’s every Tarnished for themselves. Combatants in this mode can also respawn until the timer hits zero, and the one with the most points will prevail as victor. (Limgrave Colosseum, Caelid Colosseum)
AnonymousCame back for the expansion, checked out pvp again and it still sucks a$$ beyond belief. Literally YouTube videos how to animation cancel, no fun builds, no respect. Just sweaty meta players everywhere. I hope from soft never attempts pvp again.

Such a shame they didn't add AI support since they already have AI tarnished. Would have been fun to be able to play this in the future to duel randomized bot builds. But can only find duel builds with the same 8 people and same 2 builds. Imagine what this could have been. Hopefully they'll come back to it at some point.

Colosseum matchmaking is completely dead. Yet you still get invaded all the time. Seems like all people want to do is gank or invade people who don't even want to do pvp.

These could have been in the game from the get go. PvP in ER is such a letdown.

1.10 kinda ruined pvp. If you hit and stagger someone with a spear, hammer, etc or anything smaller, they can immediately hit you while you’re in recovery. Hitting someone with my mace means I get face stabbed twice by off hand thrust sword. I’ve even been moonveiled after hitting someone with a hammer. There’s also a glitch where players frequently have passive poise against hammers and even great hammers. And the hyper armor is absurd now! I’ve won entire duels where my opponent was never once poise broken! And I main hammers and great hammers! Oh yeah and great swords can hyper armor great hammers. I only play because I loved the game so much before 1.10 ruined pvp.

Duel is the only active mode too bad it's filled with the same copy/paste sweat builds, I'd rather invade gank squads than play against that.

I feel like there needs to be a way to abort a battle in, let's say, the first five-ten seconds after spawning in, if not at any point entirely. For those situations where you know you won't have a fun fight and instead will be mercilessly overpowered by dual thrusting weapons with absurd poise

Either the entire community abandon duels entirely and do combat ordeals, or this is gonna end just like ds3's hollow arena.
Like, dislike, comment, praise, trashtalk, do whatever you want but the fact of the matter is: it happened to battle of stoicism in ds1, happened to hollow arena in ds3 and it is happening yet again in colosseums, in the EXACT same manner. Seriously, duels belongs anywhere but here.

Pvp still sucks bad. Meta builds, lag, phantom range, disrespectful players, this game is worse than league of legends in pvp.
- Anonymous
Why, just why did they have to shoehorn a duel mode in here? Ffs, isn't the entirety of the lands between big enough to make duel arenas?
The dlc arena better have a boss arena. I don't care if there's no rewards, i would rather fight all the shardbearers at once than face these game-ruining sweatlords.

No ever does combat ordeals anymore. And Caelid arena with spirit ashes free for all died a long time ago.

How about people who quit colosseum matchmaking in 3v3 when it only needs 1 player before start?

Would be badass if we could just co-op against random enemies/bosses in the arena.
Or even add a roguelike dungeon that's randomized like in Bloodborne.

An offline version would be really cool too, sort of like the Great-Jar trial in front of the Caelid colosseum. Could load random NPC duelists when offline, just like it does in the quest

Arena players are so weird, they'd rather run out the clock with bhs than die to off-meta weapons.

Me waiting for the 3v3 mode to start and finally seeing "All combatants present" after a 15 minute wait: visible happiness
Elden Ring servers failing to load in 6 players and automatically kicking everyone out in the beginning after multiple balance updates and theoretical colosseum matchmaking "fixes": sorry bro

Why is no one doing any fun builds? No cosplays, no non-meta weapons, no creativity. All i encounter is powerstanced straight swords and carian piercer spammers.
This had potential to be fun, but the playerbase just decided that it shouldnt.

Kind of sad colloseum medals do not show up in co-op and invasions like in DS3. It was nice knowing who to prioticze.

What is the level range in duels? Is this the same as pvp invasion (can be invaded by X-Y or can invade level X-Y??)

1.09 has been out for a little bit now and I'm very pleased to see some much needed improvements were made to prevent the 'guy throws sleeping pot at you as soon as you spawn back in' nonsense that put me off pvp in general I was so mad.

I miss dark souls fight club ettiquet, emoting before the fight starts. not 25 buffs and aoe spam at the spawn location

On the first day of dueling, pvp gave to me:
1 Bloodhound Bull-Goat
2 Dark Moon Wizards
3 Moonveil Wizards
4 Crouching Greatswords
5 Sprinting Lances
...and Kataaanas with Frooost and Bleeeeed.

I think G9 made thebest vjdeo explaining howto improve multi player pvp we need more cover from spell spam you don't need to nerf or ban stuff that would ruin other people's builds just have arena's that aren't all open area's provide buildings or ruins for people to take cover behind.

I'd line to see more coop modes.
2 to 6 player coop dungeons would be awesome.
Even just coop versus swarms of zombies, ants or and mixed would be great

when i stopped playing months ago it was the start of the spear/lance powerstance meta.. I just came back today to see that in a 2v2, 2 of them were powerstancing lances, 1 was powerstancing greathammer and I was dual wielding 2 ultra greatsword... The meta is so braindead everybody just spam Jump + L1 and everybody is 2 shotting everybody else lmao this is ridiculous, this is the most unfun pvp souls right after DS1 (which is so broken and unpolished that not using exploits and glitches + huge disadvantage)
DS2's pvp is awesome, DS3 is a bit samey but at least it's more refined
I really want to love Elden Ring, I do, but the game does everything it can to be unfun.. It's an AWESOME solo experience, but yeah pls fix pvp From
- Anonymous
In theory i like the colosseums and have had some fun doing them but unless From is committed to working out some of the kinks in pvp its kinda hard to really love arena fights. One big issue is 2 v 2 matches quickly become gank fests where one person gets ganged up on b4 their partner can spawn back in, leading to a pretty nasty loop. I'm also not exactly sure how successful the match making is for putting you against people closer to your skill level. I've been paired against the same person (or people) multiple times and its really not fun getting set against the same person who spammed magic missible XL or double vykes spear over and over. I dont mind losing, ive had fun losing in matches that felt at least a little balanced, but what I do mind is getting flattened over and over again by someone who has a spreadsheet for perfecting insta procing bleed and frost

Ban waves of gold and all dragon breath incantations and half the damage caused by mages (incantations included oc) and it would deal with most of the sweaty try hard BS instantly.

Can anyone explain to me why people in Combat Ordeals dont fight each other as much as two particular people in the fight?? It feels like people are teaming up to do either nothing after waiting forever to have a true free-for-all fight. What's the point of the combat ordeal if most people are just watching ONLY the two others go at it? That isnt fun man.
- Anonymous
Honest question.
Do the collosseums work with standard match making, like player levels being taken into account?
Is it worth trying to find matches early in the game or should I wait until my player level is up in the 150 range or higher?
Does anyone know if you can use Raw Meat Dumplings in the 1v1 Duel Format?

this update is the biggest one we've got in a while thank u from soft

The most beautyful of all colosseums, the Leyndell one is sadly a sweatlord playground with most people above 1500+hours registered on Steam
The caelid one crashed my game on launch and nowadays is completely dead. I waited for like 20 minutes on meta lv 125-135 characters then gave up
Limgrave one is still the best

it is a bit lame that there is no option to do Co-Op against the Ai in no way, shape or form.
I'm surprised they didn't implement a co-op wave fighting mode

pls do that all the players spawn at same level it takes so much time for higher level players to get into matches

Today the breaking point finally came. I joined a free for all 6 people match and when someone started spamming Waves of Gold, we all ganked him. It was glorious to see all these enemies unite for a common goal, even though right when he fell we proceeded to fight each other instantly

Might be worth mentioning that from the roundtable you can fight any mode in any colosseum. E.g. you can do united combat in the leyndell colosseum

Blasphemous blade rules multiplayer combat. Heals with each WA, against multiple opponents. All combatants are too dumb to usually band together to stop the player and they runaway and refill health and get kills. This is gonna have to be nerfed now smh.

I really, really hope there’s not a ranking system.
It’s becoming apparent that the solution to losses and a bad connection is just closing the game.
If there is a ranking system, hopefully it’s just total points not losses. If not this is going to turn into a game closing fight system.

Buffs are the king of 1v1 in these matches. Players have time to buff between rounds and enough time before the match.
Also something has changed in the i frames to make them much more generous to colossal weapon users which makes almost every fight nothing but colossal swords.
- Anonymous
I’m having fun but the crack are starting to appear. Lag is a big deal in here. Players can manage to always hit you, but never be hit.
Also the free for alls are dominated by high damage spells, fast rolling and running away till you catch an easy kill. Hopefully the game of the year award will encourage some serious networking do overs

Anyone know how the match making works level wise? Like would a level 100 character fight people within a 10 level range or what?
I read that you can make matches against npcs as a practice mode? Is that true?

There's some people that instead of having just "Combatent" on their username have "Golden Combatent", is that a type of ranking system for the colosseums?

yes I have the same issue, all the limits of the fights are stablished in the arena mode, once you can move we are fighting: this is not the duelist sign, but a lot of players are waiting to let them buff etc, that is giving advantage, because you dont know if they will wait for you buff ing or perhaps they are attacking inmediatly or whatever. If the arena rules want the players buff then would be a time of invulnerability as in invasions.

i know it might seem rude for me to immediately jump at you before you do your emotes/get ready during a duel, but i'm doing it because i got burned by a rot breath user because i didn't immediately rush my opponent. (there's no cover in the arena)

I just got summoned to the inside of the Ashen Capitol colosseum somehow (my sign was at Main Academy Gate). No idea how the host got inside or how they summoned me from so far away, but the arena looks cool. Has this happened to anyone else?
