1. Introduction

Gladius is a RPG-style game for the Xbox, PS2, and GameCube that allows you to gather a school of gladiators and then take them into battle against opposing schools. The world is loosely based on the Roman Empire and your school has the opportunity to travel through four distinctly different regions on their road to the ultimate championship.

Here's a synopsis of the game written by LucasArts:

An Epic Gladiatorial Saga Comes to Life
The darkness of the Great War has passed and the lands of Gladius are peaceful once more. Now combat takes place only in the gladiator arenas, where schools from around the world compete for the title of Imperial Champions. Follow the grand saga of two young heroes, Ursula and Valens, as they recruit and train a team of warriors and compete in the gladiator games. Battle with deadly weapons and powerful magic as you learn vital combat tactics while you enhance and customize your own characters. Strategies are nearly endless, with 16 character classes and over 100 unique character types from which to choose.
But be warned. Evil is on the rise again.
And a new hero must step forward to vanquish the threat.
So train well, for the dark must not prevail.

2. Strategy and tips

Combat strategy

• Use other gladiators as blocks to prevent ranged opponents from targetting your guys. Note that beasts are short and provide no cover.
• Seek out high ground if you're out-numbered. Having higher ground than your opponent increases your damage while reducing theirs.
• Keep your ranged gladiators away from the opposition. Ideally, ranged guys work best on high ground where will deal more damage, receive less, and have greater range providing a better selection of opponents.
• Bears and Wolves only use Earth Affinity; Plains Cats only use Air; Scarabs only use fire; Scorpions use only water: so if you're going into battle against several of them be prepared. (There are one or two exceptions of animals with different affinities.)
• Dervishes start off with partial resistance to Air Affinity and can gain total immunity later, so any gladiator wielding a weapon with Air Affinity will deal 0 damage. Luckily you don't fight a lot of Dervishes, and equipping a different affinity weapon lets you damage them normally.
• Keep light gladiators moving! Bandits and Secutors always want to be moving to take advantage of flank and back attacks.
• It's not always possible to have all your gladiators slugging away at opponents, so consider bringing units like Channelers and Centurions that have special powers that can be used on allies.
• Valens and Murmillos have exceptional defense and are great against ranged attacks.

Choosing skills

• Combos should be the most-used attack for most of your melee gladiators, but you don't need all four combo attacks. Take perhaps Combo 2 and Combo 4.
• Give all your warriors at least a level 1 affinity attack. It provides guaranteed damage when you're too low on skill points to use a combo or other attack.
• Chose one affinity type for each of your gladiators and stick with it. Some gladiators work better with certain affinities. Check the Class Skills section.
• Level 3 affinity attacks do damage plus a special effect depending on the affinity type: Fire poisons; Water slows; Earth petrifies; Air freezes.
• Level 4 affinity attacks do damage to all opponents in the arena but do not have any special effects. It's useful for characters that build up affinity quickly.
• Have a diverse range of affinity types in your school to combat opponent affinity defenses. If everyone uses Fire Affinity you'll have a hard time facing opponents with some immunity to that. As well, there are a few league battles that only allow gladiators with a specific Affinity.
• The transformation skills available to Barbarians and Gungnirs are handy because they also heal the gladiator.
• Innate abilities are always a good choice. Sometimes it's worthwhile to store skill points for the first few levels so you can choose a really high level innate skill.
• Everyone should have a running attack, when possible. (eg. Roam, Charge, etc.)

General tips

• If your school is short on cash:
• Nordagh: go to Odin's Keep and complete in one of the leagues that has treasure chests spread throughout the field and collect as much loot as you can. The loot is yours whether you win or lose, and will easily offset the cost of admission.
• Imperia: search the beach in the south of the map in the morning for washed up gear by stopping and holding A. Much of the stuff you'll find is for mid-level gladiators and worth quite a bit of cash.
• Southern Expanse: the beaches here also yield loot, but it's usually not worth the effort by that point in the game.
• If you can afford it, buy several identical shields your shield-using characters. This way you'll automatically re-equip during a chain of battles if you lose your shield... and you have backups if you go to an area that doesn't have any good shields for you.
• Attack metres move really fast for light classes and slower for heavies. Despite having smaller critical ranges, the slow speed allows mediums and heavies to average a much greater number of criticals.
• Using the attack metres can make the game much easier. Later in the game, many opponents will have high defense making them very hard to hit unless you score a critical. If you're not controlling your swings, the computer randomly determines if you score a critical. With a little practice you can almost always score a critical and thereby make battles much easier.
• Wilderness battles are dangerous because death means losing a character permanently, and loss of a hero means game over..
• When recruiting, try to choose women gladiators over men. Amazons have skills that only target men, and there are several battles only women can enter, but there's no similar discrimination against women.

3. Quests and special tournaments

Here's a list of the side-quests and special tournaments that I discovered while playing through the game. These aren't required to complete the game, but a few of them open the door to new allies and powers that you might find hard to turn down.

Imperia

Ambush Priam the Murmillo

Assigned by: Caryatis, Via Domus (Trikata)

Conditions: None.

Synopsis: Priam the Murmillo fought Caryatis' brother in a gladiator battle and killed him. She's learned that Priam is again competing in the area and has asked you to avenge her brother's death.

Solution: If you don't feel right killing Priam in cold blood you can turn down the quest without any consequences. If you choose to do it, Priam can be encountered on the beach between Trikata and Syrna at night at any time within 7 days of talking to the shopkeeper. If you kill him you'll gain the Blade of Tides, a really awesome Murmillo weapon, that you give to Caryatis the shopkeeper as proof of the kill. In return, Caryatis will give you some mid-level Murmillo equipment and tell you she feels bad about asking you to kill the guy. And if that didn't make you feel like a jerk, Priam's mourning wife will begin wandering the beach where he died.

Return Agamede's Stolen Goods

Assigned by: Agamede, The Loyalist (Belfort)

Conditions: Must have completed all four regions.

Synopsis: Agamede's shop, The Loyalist, has been burgled by Northerners! Track down the miscreants and return what was stolen to Agamede in Belfort.

Solution: East of Belford, at night, fight the mysterious "Quiet Man" standing near the woods. You'll have to defeat a yeti and three bandits, and then a barbarian and two gungnirs. Return to the shopkeeper in Belford for your reward.

The Mythic Invasion of Imperia

Assigned by: Scotia, Scotia's (Cro Beska)

Conditions: Must have completed Mongrel Siege league in Cro Beska.

Synopsis: The shopkeeper tells of a league of mostly monstrous gladiators that recreate historical battles from Imperia's past. They're competing in Cro Beska five days from now.

Solution: Return to Cro Beska in 7 days and look for a league called The Historians. After the battle either a minotaur or satyr will offer to join your school if there's an open spot. Reload if you don't get the gladiator you want.

The Mythic Invasion of Imperia II

Assigned by: Scotia, Scotia's (Cro Beska)

Conditions: Must have completed all four regions.

Synopsis: Long ago, Imperia was invaded by strange creatures. Satyr and Minotaur ran amok in the city of Syrna, terrorizing the citizens and wreaking havoc on the Region. Four heroes stood against the hoards of invaders and persevered. Can you follow in their footsteps? Go to the League Office in Syrna in 7 days to reenact the historic battle.

Solution: Head to Syrna in 7 days and look for a league called The Historians. After the battle either a Minotaur, Satyr, or Cyclops will offer to join the school if there's an open spot. Reload if you don't get the gladiator you want.

Save Cresus' Father

Assigned by: Cresus, Legendary Bartonus (Pirgos)

Conditions: Must have completed Agony of Saturno battles in Pirgos.

Synopsis: Years ago, Cresus' father, Acrisius, sold himself into the custody of Queen Ibliis to pay for his son's passage back to Imperia after a difficult adventure through the Windward Steppes and into the Southern Expanse where the two were waylaid by bandits. All his life, Cresus has been studying the ways of the arcane--working his shop just to make ends meet--in the hopes that someday he'll be powerful enough to go down to the Southern Expanse and free his father. He's getting anxious, however, and might like to send a school of gladiators down to do the job for him. Head to Saraa Izel in the Southern Expanse and try to free Acrisius.

Solution: Go to Saraa Izel and talk to the guard outside the city. The queen will agree to release Acrisius if four Channelers from your school can beat four of her Summoners. It can be tricky because the Summoners come back as Undead Summoners after you defeat them. Acrisius is in the ring with your school, so don't let him die. You'll gain a Death's Head staff and Crown of Darkness helmet for your Undead Summoner when you complete this quest. Next time you're in Imperia, visit Cresus' store.

Nordagh

Search for Sigi the Galdr

Assigned by: Xandl, The Dragonslayer (Mordare)

Conditions: None.

Synopsis: Sigi, a good friend of Xandl, has gone missing. This not only bodes ill for Xandle and Sigi, but also for the welfare of Mordare's Den and the city of Mordare itself. Sigi is responsible for keeping Earth Affinity Stones in the skull of the slain dragon Riwigo to keep it from ressurecting itself. Since Earth Affinity stones have become scarce in the Sloan Forest, she's had to widen her search to the plains and beyond. With Sigi missing, unable to keep the dragin's power in balance, Mordare trembles under the possibility of Riwigo's ressurection. Sigi must be found so that she can return to Mordare and continue her work as the guardian of Mordare's Den.

Solution: Sigi can be found in the wide grassy plain northeast of Roanor. She's being attacked by mongrel shamen. After helping her fend them off, you'll be rewarded the Signet of the Valkyrie. Tip: the mongrels will scale with your level, but Sigi will always be level 15. At higher levels it can be nearly impossible to keep Sigi from dying because she starts surrounded by mongrel shamen, so for the Valens campaign try to do this as soon as you get to Nordagh. As well, it's an outdoor quest, so non-hero characters that fall in battle will be permanently killed.

Destroy Undead at Tombstone

Assigned by: Xandl, The Dragonslayer (Mordare)

Conditions: Must have completed Search for Sigi the Galdr. Must be during the night.

Synopsis: Go to the place where Xandl and Sigi like to spend time together and rid it of the Unliving. Xandl said it was on a hill just outside of Fliuch.

Solution: Wander around the tombstone south of Fluich during the night for an encounter with the undead. The tombstones are actually summoning the undead, so ignore the skeletons and smash the tombstones. After returning to Xandl you'll gain the Talisman of Unlife; it can be used at any of the tombstones in the regions to recruit an Undead Legionnaire to serve the school.

Find a Greater Bear for Roanor

Assigned by: Unna, Unna's (Roanor)

Conditions: Must defeat the greater bear in the third wave of the One Against Many league in Roanor.

Synopsis: Go find a Greater Bear somewhere in the woods of Nordagh to replace the one you took out in the One Against Many League.

Solution: Head to the forest in western Nordagh south of the village of Sloan Forest for an encounter with the bear. The encounter is in the thick part of the woods directly south of the end of the Sloan Village fence.

Windward Steppes

Prove the Strength of Imperia/Nordagh

Assigned by: Tolui, The Crag (Altuhrun)

Conditions: No conditions to get assigned the quest, but must be able to compete in History of the Frontier League to get into the battle.

Synopsis: Prove that your region is the strongest by entering the Altahrun Ruins Ringers Battle in the History of the Frontier league. Ringers from all four regions enter in this battle and attempt to take out the other regions' leaders. If your leader falls, you lose. If your leader is the last one standing, you win. Head to Altahrun 4 days from now to enter the battle if your school has access to the History of the Frontier league.

Solution: Fight in Altuhrun in 4 days and keep your leader alive to the end. The league is called History of the Frontier and the battle is Imperial/Nordagh Ringers. To make sure that you can compete in the History of the Frontier league, before you talk to the shopkeeper in Altahrun complete the tournament in Yuset, then complete the Jochi Affinity league in Altahrun.

Find Eiji's Friend, Qorin

Assigned by: Duger, Duger's Imports (Yuset)

Conditions: Only available after completing all four regions.

Synopsis: The shopkeeper mentions that one of Eiji's friends was looking for her. Eiji asks if the school will help her locate her friend near The Wastes.

Solution: At The Wastes, enter the Wandering Souls league and fight The Outcasts battle. After the battle Qorin the Amazon will offer to join your school if there is space.

Fight Greater Plains Cat in Arena Suren

Assigned by : Duger, Duger's Imports (Yuset)

Consitions: Only available after completing all four regions and Beast Za League in Yuset.

Synopsis: Arena Suren is holding a one-time only battle for foreign schools to see how well they can fight against a Windward Steppes native Greater Plains Cat. Go to the League Office in Yuset and sign up for this battle to prove your school's prowess in the areana, not only against humans, but beasts as well.

Solution: One day after receiving the quest from the shopkeeper go to the Beast Za league in Arena Suren and choose the Attack the Plains Cat battle.

Southern Expanse

Revive the Dying Dervish

Assigned by: Not assigned.

Conditions: None.

Synopsis: On the overland map, between Akar An and the hidden city of Saraa Izel there's a Dervish dying of thirst. The Dervish, however, is too far gone to say anything.

Solution: There are no requirements or anything to this quest and it can be done quite simply by picking up the blue water jug slightly to the northeast of the Dervish's body. After letting the Dervish drink, a reward will be offered to the school. Declining the reward will give Valens and Ursula a free innate skill called Dervish Faith, which makes them immune to bleeding attacks when a Dervish is in the arena. (Thanks to Nick for the info!)

Fight the Dervish Underclass

Assigned by: Nazin, The Oasis (Akar An)

Conditions: None.

Synopsis: At the end of every Dervish training period in the school at Akan An, the Dervish hold a traveling challenge tournament where anyone can pit their warriors against the recently graduated Dervish. Head to the League Office in Akar An 7 days from now to enter the battle.

Solution: 7 days from receiving the quest, head to Akar and look for the Trial of the New league.

Fight the Dervish Midclass

Assigned by: Nazin, The Oasis (Akar An)

Conditions: Must have completed Fight the Dervish Underclass.

Synopsis: At the end of every Dervish training period in the school at Akar An, the Dervish hold a traveling challenge tournament where anyone can pit their warriors against the recently graduated Dervish. Head to the League Office at The Scorched Oasis 5 Days from now to enter the battle of the Midclass.

Solution: 5 days from receiving the quest, head to The Scorched Oasis and look for the special league.

Fight the Dervish Overclass

Assigned by: Nazin, The Oasis (Akar An)

Conditions: Must have completed Fight the Dervish Midclass.

Synopsis: At the end of every Dervish training period in the school at Akar An, the Dervish hold a traveling challenge tournament where anyone can pit their warriors against the recently graduated Dervish. Head to The Offering Plate 3 days from now to enter the battle of the Overclass.

Solution: 3 days from receiving the quest, head to Saraa Izel and tell the guards that you're there for The Trial of The New. The fight is one-on-one, and the opposing Dervish can move across the arena in 2 or 3 turns with incredible initiative and movement. Valens usually works well.

Hunt Down the Desert Yeti

Assigned by: Aziza, Bazaar Aziza (Saraa Izel)

Conditions: None.

Synopsis: People in Saraa Izel are accusing Aziza, the Shop Owner, of summoning a Yeti and setting it loose on the people of the Southern Expanse. While she's studying the summoning ways, she is not yet of the ability where she could summon such a creature. Find the Desert-Yeti and bring its head back to Aziza so she can clear her name.

Solution: The Yeti is alone and will be encountered on a road somewhere in the Southern Expanse. Return to Aziza with the Yeti head for a reward.

Deliver This Mysterious Tablet

Assigned by: Aziza, Bazaar Aziza (Saraa Izel)

Conditions: Must have completed Hunt Down the Desert Yeti.

Synopsis: Aziza has handed you a Mysterious Tablet to deliver to a man in the desert. She says you'll know the man once you see him. Would you like to read the text on the Mysterious Tablet?

Solution: Read the table by examining it from the equipment menu for some information relating to the overall quest. This will give you the Promise Stone and clue you into part of the larger story of the game regarding the Promise Stone and Signet of the Valkyrie. Once it's been read, deliver it to a man in the western half of the desert. The encounter is almost directly north of the tombstone within sight of the palace.

Find and Destroy Sarenenutet

Assigned by: Aziza, Bazaar Aziza (Saraa Izel)

Conditions: Assigned after Deliver This Mysterious Tablet

Synopsis: The Southern Expanse's most feared summoner, Sarenenutet, has escaped his captors and although he was mortally wounded, is believed to have survived. Go find him and destroy him. Bring proof that you've destroyed Sarenenutet back to Saraa Izel for a reward.

Solution: He can be encountered along any road in any of the lands. Returning to Saraa Izel after defeating him will net a reward.

Hell's Gate

Assigned by: Not assigned.

Conditions: Need Promise Stone, Signet of the Valkyrie, explanation from the man in the Mysterious Tablet, six gladiators of 18+ level, completed Find and Destroy Sarenenutet.

Synopsis: In the last great war, the Affinity Gods granted a few heroes knowledge of a power to aid them in defeating the Dark God. Munio was one of those gifted. The Mysterious Tablet had information about the power, but now someone else has knowledge of it and they must be stopped.

Solution: Go to the southern part of the desert outside of Saraa Izel. A gate will open and you'll be asked if you want to continue. Inside you'll fight four waves of four summoners, with each wave specializing in an affinity. Ignore the summoned monsters and hit the summoners themselves. The fifth wave is a reanimated Sarenenutet. Your reward for this monumental effort is Hell's Fury, a 3 SP cost skill that does massive (~1000 pts!) damage to opponents in a radius around you. All characters that survive the fight gain this power.

Cartha and Post-Cartha (End game)

Before Competing in Cartha

Make sure you've completed all the leagues and side-quests you're interested in. For instance, you might want to go back to the Windward Steppes and get Eiji's amazon friend Quorin to join the school. You don't have to do that one in particular, but be aware that once you win the Cartha Championship the game becomes very linear, the plot picks up, and there are no more random battles. Also, you may no longer roam from town to town, so make sure you have all the recruits in your school that you'll need!

Cartha Championship

Winning the Cartha championship should prove faily easy. Valens' old friend Ludo is back, but he's evil. Smack him and his team down to claim glory. Unfortunately, your victory is marred by a statue that comes to life and rampages through the stadium. Usus leads the school to safety, but the situation allows Mutuus to take control of Imperia. Usus sends Valens and Ursula to learn the truth of the situation.

Post-Cartha

The Valens and Ursula campaigns have very similar end sequences.

After fleeing from the chaos in Cartha, the school seeks out the Galdr/Channelers for guidance. The Sorceress blocks gates and a battle ensues. Facing 3 dark legionnaires and a reanimated Galverg. Must use Valens, Ursula, Urlan, and Eiji in battle.

Along the road the heroes are attacked by four Undead Legionnaires and an Undead Summoner. No chance to change characters here.

At their destination, Ursula/Valens is challenged by the four Affinity Gods. There are four battles, each vs an Incarnation of one of the Affinity Gods plus two Channelers. The order is: Exuros (fire), Aeris (air), Mauritamus (water), Solum (earth). These could be hard fights (Channelers can be a pain), but because the combat ends when the Incarnation is defeated you can simply choose your four biggest sluggers, charge straight to the Incarnation and ignore the Channelers. After the battle Ursula/Valens will get some awesome equipment.

On the way to Roanor a corrupted Ludo and two Dark Legionnaires challenge the party. Valens, Ursula, Urlan, and Eiji all battle.

Valens and Ursula confront Mutuus at the steps of the Roanor temple. A battle with Mutuus and four Dark Legionnaires begins. Again, Valens, Ursula, Urlan, and Eiji fight.

Mutuus' death sets the stage for the return of the Dark God. Valens and Ursula, plus three others of your choosing, must fight in each stage of the battle as you hack away at the Dark God's towering form. First up are eight Dark Knights with massive swords that use Wide Swing, so be careful in positioning your melee guys. Ranged attacks work wonders here, especially Volley/Deluge; the dragon counters by breathing fire, but it's less damage than getting slashed by the knights.

Next up are four Dark Faces that summon Dark Cats and Dark Wolves. As soon as a summoned animal is killed the Faces create another, so don't bother killing the summoned beasts. The Faces' attack is rather weak, so a team of strong melee mediums will take them down best while taking less damage from the light beasts.

The final battle is versus the dragon. Bring along two or three support gladiators because the dragon has a knockback attack that makes melee annoying. Bowmen and spear-chuckers make the last battle a piece of cake.

Woo! You win.

5. Gladiators

• Light gladiators: Bandit, Berserker, Dervish, Gwazi, Mongrel, Secutor, Satyr,
• Medium gladiators: Barbarian, Legionnaire, Ludo, Murmillo, Undead Legionnaire, Urlan, Ursula, Valens
• Heavy gladiators: Centurion, Cyclops, Minotaur, Ogre, Samnite, Yeti
• Ranged gladiators: Amazon, Archer, Eiji, Gungnir, Peltast,
• Arcane gladiators: Channeler, Mongrel Shaman, Summoner, Undead Summoner
• Animals: Bear, Plains Cat, Scarab, Scorpion, Wolf

This section lists the gladiators available to your school. The tables are useful in comparing two or three classes to see which would be the most useful in the long term. The original impetus for this these tables came from wanting to compare Gungnirs and Peltasts.

This is probably a good place to note that there is no way to recruit greater animals of any sort. Greater Bears, Greater Wolves, and Greater Plains Cats are only opponents.

Choosing new skills for your characters as they progress can have a dramatic effect on their prowess on the battlefield. There's no requirement that you must use skill points immediately. It can be very beneficial to hold off on purchasing skills for a few levels so you can get a really high-cost skill.

The table for each character is broken down into six sections. Skills are grouped together based on how they're used exactly like you would see during combat. Move skills all allow you to move a few paces before executing the attack. Attack skills require you to launch the attack from where you're standing without any movement. Combo skills hold all your combo skills and do not allow any movement. Special tends to hold a wide variety of skills, from bizarre attacks to simple things like Guarding. Affinity contains all the skills that require any amount of affinity charge to execute. Innate isn't actually a category in the battle interface; these are skills that are always active and don't need to be activated.

The Learn/Use/Meter column describes how many job points it costs to learn a skill, the cost to use it in battle (s=skill points (diamonds), a=affinity points (circles), and the type of meter for the skill. There are several meters used in the game. The Basic meter is the one used for standard attacks with a long normal zone, followed by a smaller critical zone, and then a miss zone. The Combo meters are compounded versions of the Basic meter, with several hit/crit/miss zones that have to be hit several times. Match meters require you to match a sequence of buttons quickly. Masher meters require you quickly press A then B over and over. Aim meters are usually used for special abilities and require you to hit a smallish target in the midst of either a miss or no-effect zone. Generally, most of the meters are easy, except for the mashers. I'd strongly recommend skipping skills that use masher meters.

6. Cheats and secrets

Here are the cheats and secrets found in the game so far. With a little planning and judicious use of the various gladiators, there's nothing in the game that's truly difficult, so cheats aren't necessary (but they can be fun to play with).

Munio's Equipment for Valens

On the Windward Steppes, in Ononhaar's Ghawza Open league, there's a battle called Middleweight Class that sometimes has opponents named Valens, Ludo, Ludouber, etc. If you happen to see an opponent named Valens wearing awesome-looking armour compete in that battle, and when Valens drops a chest, pick it up. It's possible to get a Munio's Sword, Munio's Armour, or Munio's Shield. They're all pretty awesome. It can be tricky getting the super Valens to appear. When you enter the battle setup screen, press X twice to see the second set of opponents, and if Valens isn't there exit to the league screen and go back in. It can take a long time to get this to work, but super Valens does exist.
