    To unlock the Arena Events you must complete "The Crocodile's Jaws" Quest, I also suggest you only attempt this if you are above a Level 28 because you will encounter level 30+ enemies.

    The Gladiator Arena is located in North West Krokoditopolis, This time you will be doing the arena events solo, receive points, and be timed. This achivement requires you to win "Brothers I, Brothers 2, Brothers 3, Boss - The Brothers, Slaver I, Slaver 2, Slaver 3, and Boss - The Slayer"

    You do NOT need to complete the Arena Elite Events to unlock the achievement.

    If you are above the recomended level you shouldn't have any problems with this, it only took me around 10 minutes. Using your Overpower attack will also help greatly against the more difficult enemies.

    Good luck!

    brummiechrisI can 100% confirm doing this above the recommended level makes this achievement problem free.
    I didn’t bother doing any of the optional fights at krokodilopolis arena until after I’d finished the main game AND the Hidden Ones DLC. The fights were laughable one sided because I was at level 55, most of the fights took no more than a minute and a half.

    The minimum level I would recommend doing this is 27 (as that's what I did and it became rather challenging)

    As you cannot unlock the arena before completing the story quest 'The Crocodiles Jaws' and you fight in it as part of said quest, there is no way you won't unlock its fast travel. Simply go into the map and hold cn_X to go into the arena sub menu.

    The are two events (The Gallic Brothers LVL 28 and The Slaver LVL 30) and in each event there are 4 fights. The first three are just fighting waves of mooks and shouldn't prove to difficult in the gallic brothers event, but if you are only LVL 27 the fights in The Slaver can be quite challenging. Be sure to dodge around, strike quick and retreat, using Overpower on only the more defensible opponents.

    Both the bosses are relatively easy and should topple with little effort. After you have completed all eight fights, the achievement will pop.

    Let's keep cheevin' together!

    LuckyKantIncorrect. You don’t need to complete The Crocodile’s Jaws first. You can do this as soon as you leave the arena after defeating Diovicos and Viridovix during The Crocodile’s Tears. You will be outside and the objective is to Speak to Hotephres. Here, turn around and head back in. You can check my achievements to see the unlock order.

    United10717OK so I've just been through in one sweep and done all the fights... no achievement. WTH?!
    DId you have to kill them in the boss battles rather than sparing them?

    Update - Just been through and selected no mercy on both bosses now. Still no achievement
    Update2 - Been through and done all events in order again.... no achievement
    Update 3 - Even been through and done the elite arena's to see a patch meant that they were now included, guess what?.... no achievement.

    Update 4 - This is weird. I turn on my xbox the next morning and go to browse TA, say on there I have unlocked it. Look at my xbox, still says locked. Look on xbox.com and it says its unlocked on there.
    I don't know what to believe!! I think achievements might be broken again -_-

    … Ok, so no one says where Krokodilopolis is. It's in the Faiyum Oasis tile at the bottom of the map. Most people will only find the Gladiator Arena in the Kyrenaika area in the upper left corner after finishing the game, don't challenge this Gladiator Arena.
