See #Bullfighting Arena Enemies above.

## Tips

* Zorro's Mask require Gladiators kills instead of Bandits in this Maze.

* You can kill the gumballs in the audience in the Fighting Stand for rewards (gems, EP, food items and fragments). They can't be attacked directly but you can use splash damage and summons. Try Zorro's active skill, Zerg Queen's egg hatchlings, or Sorcerer's cat.

* Audience members require more damage to kill at higher levels. Killing them can trigger on death effects such as Blade of Ruin via Melee titles.

* You might want to avoid taking a treasure slot artifact because of the Champion's Certificate.

* Kaito is very fun in this maze because of the varied steals from the champions.

* Burned Parchment scales with the Power stat. It also counts as a low level spell for the purposes of Great Druid's Cloak, it can therefore be hitting upwards of 3-4k if it hits on the high end of its scale before accounting for disrupting ray or other buffs/debuffs.

* If you don't enter the Fighting Stand, it will reappear on that floor if you come back to it thanks to a Portal of Earth. This can make killing the audience a lot easier. The enemy Gumball inside will likely change if at any point in the process you do a S/L 30. If you enter do a S/L and do not re-enter, the Fighting Stand will also reappear after PoE.
* To get the Quest Items needed from the Special Lounge enemies, use Kaito and/or Bandit for their stealing ability/items.  When you find the special lounge, first kill everyone in it and see who drops their special item.  Immediately S/L then enter the Special Lounge again.  This time, use a Steal Item/Skill on the one(s) that did not drop the item(s) you need.  If you're down to just Kaito's steal skill and it isn't charged yet when you find a Special Lounge you need, S/L30 will reset the level so that it appears on a later level and your Steal can recharge.
