Final Fantasy Resonance Guide | Colosseum Gaia Hammer and Valuable Steals

The Grandshelt Colosseum opens in Chapter 4. Its first five Fledgling League battles reward the Gaia Hammer, but you can also steal an Arcane Pendant, Fuma Shuriken, and Striking Staff.

Return to Grandshelt and Prepare

After reaching Chapter 4, return to Grandshelt, the Royal Capital, and follow the route through town to the Colosseum. A notice board in Zoldaad points you toward the arena. Pick up the Tablet Shard near the Colosseum entrance before going inside.

At the reception desk, sign up for the Fledgling League. It has five battles with recommended levels from 25 to 32. Before starting, heal your party, bring recovery items, and make sure at least one character has Steal. Use Libra on enemies to check their stealable items before defeating them. These steals are separate from the league's first-clear rewards.

Battles 1 and 2: Check the Enemy Loot

The first battle pits you against a Wyvern, Magma Tortoise, and Coeurl. Check their weaknesses and make sure your healing is ready for later rounds. The first-clear reward is a Magicite Shard.

Battle 2 is against a Chimera. Use Libra to inspect its loot before attacking. Its rare steal is the Arcane Pendant, so keep the enemy alive and use Steal until you get it. Once the pendant is secured, finish the Chimera. The first-clear reward is Adamantite.

Battle 3: Use Multi-Target Magic

The third battle includes two Balaur, a Simurgh, and a Blood Worm. Use area attacks and magic against the several targets. Open with a strong area spell, add a magic boost, then follow with elemental attacks that match each enemy's weakness.

The first-clear reward is an Ancient Greatsword.

Battle 4: Steal From the Lieutenant

Battle 4 includes an Ice Lizard, Gray Bomb, and Lieutenant. The Lieutenant is the target for the valuable steal. Take down the Ice Lizard and Gray Bomb first, then use Libra on the Lieutenant. Its normal steal is a Fuma Shuriken, while its rare steal is a Mirage Coat. The source run takes the Fuma Shuriken and continues, but you can reset the fight and try for the Mirage Coat if you want the rarer armor.

The Lieutenant is weak to Water and Earth. After the steal, exploit those weaknesses to build stagger. The first-clear reward is a Magicite Shard.

Battle 5: Prepare for Ahriman

Rest at the inn before entering the final match. The enemies are level 37, higher than the league's recommended level, so this is the toughest fight in the set. Equip Warrior of Light on Rain for extra protection, bring Phoenix Downs, and stock Gold Needles because Ahriman can inflict Petrify. Keep Esuna available to remove status ailments.

The final battle has an Allosaur, an Ice Sculpture, and an Ahriman. Cast Hastega early, then defeat the two front enemies before turning to Ahriman. Ramuh is useful here. Keep the party healed, revive anyone who falls, and use a Gold Needle immediately if someone is petrified.

After the front enemies fall, use Libra on Ahriman. Steal its Striking Staff while keeping the party alive; debuff it if needed. Ahriman is weak to Light and Ice. Buff Lasswell and save your strongest attacks for the stagger window.

Claim the Gaia Hammer and League Proof

After winning the fifth match, speak to the Colosseum staff again to complete the league and receive the Gaia Hammer and Fledgling's Proof of Victory. The proof unlocks additional items at the Colosseum shop, including Magicite Shards, Warding Bell, and Foe Attractor. Check the quartermaster before leaving, then return to the story or prepare for the next league.

The Gaia Hammer also lets Lid break the Sealing Stone west of the Village of Kol and reach the Esper Titan. Lid must be in your active party to smash it.

Clear all five Fledgling League battles, collect the three key steals, and claim the Gaia Hammer to unlock the route to Titan.
