If you’re looking to capture monsters to train your party against and grab some nice loot along the way, including some mastery options, then you’ll want to build the monster arena in Wishvale. While it’s not a difficult endeavor, it’ll take you some time to unlock it, and even more time after gathering the materials needed to start construction.
Afterward, you’ll need to capture monsters to fill the arena with, but first, it’s the process of unlocking the arena and building it. Here’s everything you’ll need to do to add your own arena to Wishvale and get started on your monster-hunting adventures in Octopath Traveler 0.
How To Unlock The Monster Arena
To unlock the monster arena, you’ll need to have completed the entire Kinders of the Flame questline and reached the first ending screen. This means you’ll need to have already built the following structures:
- Workshop
- Hub
- Fields
- Ranch
- Salon
- Shop
- Training Grounds
- Church
- Sacred Flame Dais
Once you’ve completed all of these in the main sidequest, you will reach town level six. Upon reaching town level six, you’ll then need to build a museum.
Follow the questline further to complete the construction of the museum, and a man named Adrian the Promoter will come to town. Speak to him to begin the monster arena questline.
You’ll be tasked with gathering the materials necessary to create the monster arena. You’ll need the following items:
- Quality Metal x 30
- Quality Stone x 20
- Monster Trap
The quality metal can be found in West Theatropolis Plains, and the quality stone can be found in Flamesgrace Wilds. Fighting monsters and then leaving and returning to the area will allow the materials to respawn in the world.
Don’t forget to buy the materials from NPCs after interacting with them, or attempting to steal them if you find them on monsters, though we didn’t find anything other than quality cloth on the monsters in this area.
The Monster Trap is a bit trickier, as you’ll need to head to Flamesgrace and entreat the Ambitious Hunter to get it from him. You’ll find the Ambitious Hunter in the Inn, all the way to the left of the bar.
Use your path actions to Inquire him, then you’ll need to entreat him for the Monster Trap. Unfortunately, there’s only a three percent chance he will give it to you.
Unless you want to spend a ton of leaves, save outside of the Inn and keep attempting to entreat him for it until you succeed. Reload your saves on a failure and keep trying until you eventually get it.
Once you’ve got it, head back to Wishvale and build the monster arena.
How To Use The Monster Arena
Once you’ve unlocked the monster arena, it’s time to get started with using it; however, to do so, you’ll need to capture the monsters yourself. Head inside and speak to Adrian the Promoter, and he’ll give you a list of monsters to capture and where to find them.
You’ll need to travel to each location, and you’ll find the monsters looking like elite enemies do in the overworld. Capture them and add them to the arena.
