Quick Links
While exploring The Depths of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, you may find some interesting places. You can find areas dedicated to mining Zonaite -- spots that are overrun by monsters looking for someone to fight and interesting areas known as Coliseums.
The Coliseums in The Depths act as challenges that give you interesting rewards. Each Coliseum has multiple rounds of enemies for Link to fight. The rounds get progressively harder as you go until you win, gaining the rewards. Here is a list of the 6 Coliseums in The Depths and where you can find them.
Updated by Erin Rice on July 29, 2023: This update added more information about the Coliseums and the best order to complete them in. It also featured more links, so readers could find guides on other aspects of the Coliseums and The Depths in general.
Where Are The Coliseums?
These Coliseums look like large circular areas on your map. You can find 6 of them within The Depths, and each one offers different challenges and rewards. You'll need to complete 5 rounds of the challenge. The first round will have Red monsters, then Blue monsters, then Black monsters, then Silver monsters; the last round will have one of each colored monster in the Coliseum for you to fight (The only Coliseum that doesn't follow this is the Forest Coliseum).
After completing each Coliseum, you will be rewarded with a special armor headpiece. Each piece is different and can do different things. These Coliseums are certainly a great way to hone your skills while obtaining great rewards.
While traveling to these locations, make use of the Zonai Devices scattered around The Depths. You can make a Hoverbike that will take you anywhere you need to go.
