PSA: This quest is not ''bugged'' the way you think it is.

The game expects you to lose because you don't have the boots. After you craft the boots via Ascension Crafting, then the NPC says that ''Pelagos now has the edge to win the fight'' or something close to that.

It is simply unbalanced in a way that you're not supposed to win, but you actually can.

This is confusing and possibly bugged, so here's a tip.

IF YOU WIN ON YOUR FIRST TRY, YOU WILL NOT COMPLETE QUEST. If you fail, you will complete. However winning gives you a special reward.

So for best result, win your first match, collect reward, then enter the colliseum again and lose (just stand still, you will die in ~20sec or so). Collect chest in middle, and your quest will finish.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • A Suitable OpponentLevel 60

    The opponents you train against in the coliseum are not physical beings, but rather manifestations of such. Your first opponent is one you and your soulbinds have met numerous times before -- the Ascended Kalisthene.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Herald's FootpadsLevel 60

    Sometimes, sheer force of will is not enough. A piece of equipment can save your life. This blueprint you found can teach you to craft your first piece of equipment. Bring it over to Dactylis. She will be able to aid you in this as well.

The storyline at a glance

The Path of Ascension has 8 steps, from The Path of Ascension to Overcoming the Trial.
