brickroadbrickroad and SovanJedi play Secret of Evermore - Part 28 of 88

We reunite with our dog and take on a gladiator with a war chariot. Could this day get any worse?

Coliseum

Map

After Tiny escorts you to the coliseum, you'll be in the locker room. Pompolonius will introduce himself to you, then he leaves and the door closes behind him.

The really crappy part about this section of the video is that they don't even show you the hidden wall. It should be on the right side of the room. Walk through it, and you'll find even more armor and useful items.

Remember when I said to get the Stone Vest, Bronze Gauntlet and Obsidian Helm before you came in here? Well, guess what? If you did, there won't be a Stone Vest in the pot to the left as well as the Bronze Gauntlet and Obsidian Helm in the secret room. Instead, they'll be replaced with the better armor - the Centurion Cape, Gauntlets of Ra and Centurion Helmet respectively - without having to go through the market again to upgrade your armor once more! Score!

Boss: Vigor

Gotta love the Final Fantasy VI characters making a cameo in the audience.

Anyway, you and Vigor (some big Roman guy in a spiked war chariot) will be introduced, then the fight begins.

Besides keeping yourself healed, your main order of business against this guy is to have the Horn Spear equipped and attack him in the back with a Level 3 attack charge.

His javelin and boomerang attacks can cause quite a bit of damage if you're in the vicinty of the weapons when he throws them, especially the javelin. When Vigor flexes, that's your cue to start running in order to avoid the rotten vegetables that the crowd throws at you. His ram attack also does some dangerous amounts of damage as well.

When you finally beat him down, you'll get 1000 Jewels for your efforts. Pompolonius will finally acknowledge that this is your dog, and he'll give you information about the Diamond Eyes. He'll also give you the Gladiator Sword, which will prove to be your best weapon so far.

The scene will then shift to the mystery man Pompolonius was talking to talking to a face that protrudes out of a brick wall. Could this be a trap...?
