The Arena!

[greedostick]

Many years ago I posted a thread on here asking what the Arena in Dungeon Explorer II is all about? I originally wrote a FAQ on game faqs for this game I published back in 2004, asking for assistance with no leads whatsoever. Here is a link, and please don't comment on the writing quality of this... I wrote this before my college days....

So... I am about to get another copy of this game soon. I want to revise my whole FAQ and get it looking good. But I still don't have a Duo-Tap, and only 3 controllers.

Does anyone know what the arena in Dungeon Explorer II, is? If it unlocks any special characters or weapon upgrades? If it is a special Dungeon or PVP Arena? Of if it is just a way for people to input their passwords and get some 5 player action going through the story?

I will give credit as due if anyone has any information. I have looked on youtube, google, bing etc.. and have found nothing of relevance to what the Arena actually is/does.

I remember it being a PvP (player verses player) zone where your damaging shots and spells will hurt others in your party.  Only zone in the game that allows it and I think the orifinal game as well.  Don't think any characters unlock by using it....

Any more info on this?

I just did a test on this, Flare is right this room just allows PVP matches as damage is taken between the characters. It works with as many players as you want, so 1 v 1 or 5 free for all.

I can see this being pretty fun with a group of people as a break from questing.

There are 5 tiles on the floor with swords, standing on them doesn't do anything. But I assume the programmers made it as a "starting point" for the melees. Everyone picks a tile until someone verbally signals the melee has begun.

I never spent time playing this. Sure, maybe I tried it briefly, but i wonder if it would be any fun? I'm not sure....

Thank you for the guide greedo!

your welcome. I never got around to editing it. But I have some free time really soon. So if anyone has any information please contact me.

@ flare65 & duo-r (thanks for the info. Maybe we can talk later and get more in depth.)

[Duo_R]

I've got some power up info for the characters. I can't believe how obscure this game is, but makes sense as a late release.

[Duo_R]

One other thing is there could more info on how to switch back and forth from single player to multiplayer using the same save game. It was a little tricky but I figured it out.

The original Hunger Games.

Haha nice!

It looks like a similar mode is in Dungeon Explorer 1 in the first castle at the beginning of the game.

Yes.

since I have already started DE II, is it still worth checking out DE 1? I know alot of people rave about that game, but I am really spoiled by the music in DE II, seems to have alot more polish to it.

and this is mainly 1 player, although my 5 year old is willing to do some questing with me.
