Arena (Part 22)

Turn in the opposite direction from the red guy and go talk to the old woman sitting there. Ysabel.

She'll tell you several things about your fight with the Grand Champion. One, you can wear whatever armor you want to wear. Two, the ban on looting your opponent's corpse is lifted. In fact, Ysabel wants you to remove his armor and hand it in, I suppose as "proof" that you beat him.

So head on out and talk to the Gray Prince...and challenge him for his title. He'll sound rather depressed, but after the news you brought him, who can blame him? After you challenge him, he'll tell you to go talk to Ysabel. So go do that.

Tell her that you're ready for a match. After some discussion she'll say that you need a name...like the Gray Prince. But you can't pick that. So just pick from the list she gives you...

I picked Dragonheart.

So go on up to the arena.

As long as you completed the quest to discover the Gray Prince's origins, he'll just stand there and beg you to kill him. Easiest match you'll ever have.

Go back to Ysabel and turn in the Gray Prince's Raiment of Valor, to get either a Light or Heavy Raiment of Valor of your own. You'll also get 1,000 gold and be made the new Grand Champion.

Now talk to her again. She'll tell you that she can pit you against monsters every week...in perpetuity.

So there you go.

Once you get out to the arena lockbox...FAST TRAVEL SOMEWHERE ELSE. Right away. Before the Adoring Fan shows up. Carries a torch and has bright-orange hair. He's useless and there are much more useful companions around in other places.

A quick note: If you completed the Gray Prince's origins quest, and then do the final battle here and he tells you to just go ahead and kill him, this seems to count as a "murder" as I received the "your killing has been observed..." notice when he died.
