Last night I was attempting to kill the Arena Champion for the first time. I went there with a pretty stacked inventory and my two best thralls (lvl 14 Dalinsia and lvl 20 berserker). I made it all the way to her easily and I active a follower damage buff on myself and strength buff on both of them. When I was fighting her, I kept stun locking her and when she was almost dead, her ragdoll went into a wall and got stuck on the wrong side. I tried resetting the area and sadly started at the beginning. I went back and then I got terrible luck and was hardly stunning her so my berserker died and I ended up dying. When I went to respawn, it gave me no choice but respawn at the desert so I couldnât get anything back.

Name what you lost and iâll jump in to provide. Plus we will go together to teach her a lesson brother and show her whoâs the real champion.
But keep in mind that this boss is designed for 1v1 fights, defeating her with thralls is more difficult. The reason for this is simple. Arena champion will allow you a full combo before she attacks back, but only on 1v1. Then the mace on heavy attacks ignores shields, so only dodge can save you. But when she faces more than 1 opponent these rules are changing and she can become really aggressive and unpredictable.
2 players however can really humiliate her since kicking her is very fun and players can cooperate without bot AI.
So if you wish any help let me know, iâll be happy to provide. Sorry for your loss and welcome to the forum

Hello! I am very thankful in your offer and I would love to accept your offer! I will just tell you the absolutely biggest things I lost to reduce the amount of things I will get from you, as I do not want to take advantage of your extreme kindness. Most of them are just legendaries that I got within the same dungeon. The biggest things are the World Breaker, Cromâs Hammer,Eye of The Watcher, Mordlun, Khari Waterskin, Lovetap, Coup dĂȘ GrĂące, Szethâs Truncheon (I carried three for me and the two thralls),Chain Bindings, Redeemed Armour Set I put on my thrall who died, Axe of the Gate Guardian, and the Strangely Familiar Axe (the axe my now dead thrall was using before I switched it to the axe of the gate guardian. I wonât lie to you, I shouldnât have fought her with so much gear, but I felt the momentum and I felt so strong at the time since no other boss stopped me up to that point. Once again, I am beyond grateful for this offer and I truly hope it isnât too much. My server is the PVE Official Server #3502 and my base is at Skyholme Ruins.

sometimes the arena champ just stands there and sometimes she curb stomps you. i try to always have a couple of spare keys if i donât have my sorcery leveled up to summon corpse.
run the first three rooms to get a key. then go stash that key and run around sepurmuru till the first three rooms reset and then run the dungeon. that way if the arena champ gets lucky you can just grab that spare key from a shack right outside and run back in to pick up your corpse

I generally do something pretty similar (except in singleplayer, so I get to leave a box outside the dungeon, instead of needing to build a shack) (also tend to leave a bit of spare kit in the box to make the run back a little easier if it comes up).
As an alternative - there is a very reliable way to take her on solo that has always worked (I didnât come up with it, I originally learned it from Firespark, back when he still covered CE) - any bow plus Snake Arrows (crafted at Set altar). Just stay at a distance and keep shooting her in the legs - the cripple effect keeps her moving slowly while the arrows stack poison and kill her. So long as you donât let a follower get involved, itâs really easy.
Of course, itâs a lot more fun to try to take her on hand to hand, but this option does provide a simple and reliable alternative for anyone just wanting to farm her.

Thanks @DanQuixote.
Your tip (Set Arrows) is why I try to read as many forum posts as possible, ie to pick up little goody tips like yours.
My reactions arenât quick enough to use hit then roll back (Iâm 68 yrs old), so Iâll definitely try the Set arrows on my next foray into that dungeon.

Just giving important feedback to my other fellow exiles about the condition of the server our fellow exile @thekingplayer13 playsâŠ
Itâs Horrible!!!
A complete lag fest even at the hours that itâs empty. The desync is ânaturalâ in this server and the warmakers dungeon indeed glitches big time. I was killed from the invisible dragon breath from inside the walls while i was fighting the undead mobs way down from his cave. When you enter the dungeon, you listen the undead shelback and you get confused. The blue skeletons before the arena champion entrance are walking on the traps destroying them on their path like sleep walkers⊠Omg.! The bed spawn often fails, your bedrolls are somehow get destroyed no matter if they were in your base and youâll end up spawning in desert.
How do you even play in this trashy server dude, omg 
.
This server needs maintenance âyesterdayâ itâs absolutely broken.

Iâve honestly thought thatâs how the game normally was and I was fine with it since I liked how stupid the glitches can be sometimes. I should probably swap servers though

Iâm glad it may be of use to you 
Just to be absolutely clear - it really is necessary to keep followers out of the fight - they make her move unpredictably, which can result in missed shots and then the cripple wears off and suddenly sheâs moving fast again.
What I usually do to keep them out of the way is to head into the little side chamber (where the recipe for Champion armour is), kill off the couple of skeletal serpentmen that are in there and then tell my follower to âstop followingâ. Itâs not as good as when we used to be able to just tell them to âwaitâ, because there is the risk that they could return home while weâre still in the fight, but we canât place them on guard in a dungeon and itâs the only reliable way I know of to make sure they donât interfere.
I hope it serves you well

The game is problematic indeed in many cases, but not in the shape of this server experience. If a player that does dungeons have this behavior and performance, i cannot imagine what will happen if you proclaim a high lvl purge.
I donât know when it was your last time that you run a new session on your single player @thekingplayer13, but if you do it, you will fall in love with the game again .
Today in the evening i will try to melt the world bosses for skeleton keys, since momentum demands idiotic rng.
But keep in mind that if you wish to play Siptah you are very much invited on Kate land. Itâs a pve server for friends only owned from @sestus2009 and he left many things on official difficulty so we enjoy the game.
Hope to catch you later m8
