Dungeons:Arena Battle

An arena battle, also known as an ambush for short, is a battle between mobs and heroes. There are distinct differences between these and boss battles.

Locations

Arena battles can be found in every mission in the game other than ???. Some missions have ambushes which spawn powerful mobs:

• Creeper Woods (Only with Echoing Void DLC)
• Woodland Mansion
• Woodland Prison
• Soggy Swamp (Only with Echoing Void DLC)
• Spider Cave
• Pumpkin Pastures
• Redstone Mines
• Cacti Canyon (Only with Echoing Void DLC)
• Desert Temple (Only with Echoing Void DLC)
• Highblock Halls (Only with Echoing Void DLC)
• Frosted Fjord
• Lost Settlement
• Gauntlet of Gales
• Colossal Rampart
• Basalt Deltas
• Nether Fortress
• Crimson Forest
• Coral Rise
• Abyssal Monument
• Radiant Ravine
• The Stronghold
• End Wilds
• Broken Citadel
• Tower
• Treetop Tangle

Treetop Tangle is the only mission to have an ambush which spawns a boss mob.

Behavior

Arena battles operate differently from boss fights, where arena battles spawn a lot more weaker mobs, then sometimes a powerful mob or a boss. The battle format also differs from boss fights, where it usually spawns in waves, such as the one in Pumpkin Pastures. The battles usually start out with several weak mobs. Over time, the waves of mobs get stronger until the battle ends, or when the boss appears. No matter what, battles always spawn mobs from the mission it takes place in.

There are also similarities between arena battles and boss fights. They are both triggered by certain events like heroes entering an arena like the one in Redstone Mines, or by pressing a trigger like the bell in Pumpkin Pastures. Some other triggers include buttons, levers, and pillars.

There is a chance for these ambushes to have mini bosses. There are nine missions where ambushes spawn two minibosses: the Woodland Mansion, the Pumpkin Pastures (Only with Echoing Void DLC), the Desert Temple (Only with Echoing Void DLC), the Basalt Deltas, the Crimson Forest, the Abyssal Monument, The Stronghold, the End Wilds and the Broken Citadel. So far, it isn't possible to have arena battles that spawn three bosses, but in the Coral Rise there is an arena battle that spawns four of them. Another similarity between arena battles and boss fights is that they have their own special music. They can also both be started by the Arch-Illager, the Jungle Abomination, the Wretched Wraith, the Tempest Golem, the Ancient Guardian and the Vengeful Heart of Ender. Each of them have their own summoning animation. The Arch-Illager teleports in, summons an ambush, and then teleports out. The jungle abomination, wretched wraith, tempest golem and ancient guardian just roar to summon an ambush, producing their own effects while doing so.

If the battles are a part of the mission's objectives, it is announced by the game, whereas if the battle is not part of the mission's objectives, it won't be announced.
