You can get our full thoughts on the game by checking out our Steel Seed Review.

When you first enter the arena, there will be two doors to the left and right, 3 waves of enemies will come out from each door. I’m going to take you step by step on how you can get through this. If you want to see how I survived, the video is below on our guides channel.

To prepare for the fight, you are going to want to make sure you have the heavy jump attack skill at your disposal. Mines will be extremely useful to save for wave 1 or 2. Keep in mind, if you use them, the enemies have spawn protection, so don’t bother putting them in front of the doors.

Wave 1

The left door will release a brute and a kamikaze robot. The right door will release two shield bearers and a shooter. Start with the right door and focus on taking out the shooter with light attacks as quickly as possible. A ranged enemy is going to cause too much damage as you focus on the bigger guys.

Next you are going to focus on the kamikaze robot. Let him attach to you, but when you do, make sure you will push him off you in the direction on the other robots to do some damage.

Turn your focus towards the shield bearers. They hit quickly while the brute gives you advanced notice of his attacks. Maintain distance and wait to use your heavy strikes to take down their shields. Once you have done so, the brute is all that is left.

If you are struggling with defeating the brute, use your jump heavy attack. Walking backwards, waiting for your moment to strike, jump to attack, then wait for him to attack, rinse repeat. Its a dull boring grind, but the best way to cheese him.

Wave 2

This wave is slightly easier. Two shield bearers on the left door and an invisible robot on the right. Focus on the two shield bearers first. If you are struggling to dodge the invisible robot, use the jump attack method we used for the brutes in the first wave.

When it comes to tackling the invisible robot one on one, just use patience. Stand still, wait for him to reveal himself, and dodge. Jumping continuously will work, however, its riskier and more prone to catching his blade when you land on the ground. Use light attacks only on him.

Wave 3

The door on the left will unleash 1 ranged enemy and an invisible enemy. The door on the right will release a brute and another ranged enemy. Focus on the ranged enemies like the first wave. Once you take them out, move on to the brute using the jumping method, and then you can take your time fighting the invisible enemy.
