This first arena is one of two levels that are out of the main game. This is a level
that was part of the Dreamers' Realm, called the Arena, where you fought Skuld and
Verdandi. You start out in the middle of the room, this is where one of the Dreamers
(I think it was Verdandi) will hang out and cause the floor to rise into steps. You
can make them rise, while standing in the center hit Y, it will go back down on its own.
In one corner of the room is an axe, in another is the Dreamers' Staff. Also there is a
hellfire vial in the other
Blue Circle
When you activate this circle you will be attacked by the Demon Zombies (the
demons with the fireballs in their stomachs).There are three of them. They die just like
they do in the game proper, enough of a beating and the explode in a ball of flamey
goodness. Along the edges of the you will find stakes. All four of the circles are in a
ring around the area Buffy starts in.
Green Circle
Only one enemy here, Malik in his 'human' form. In the main game he would run
away after you did enough damage to him, here you get to dust him. Just whittle his
health to nothing and stake him for the kill. Fire does not kill him but does do damage.
He is strong and pretty fast for his size. His speed can be a problem if he gets the drop
on you. While controlling him, if you slow down your button mashing on the punch
button he will just keep doing a simple jabbing punch without knocking over Buffy.
Surprisingly this simple punch can decimate Buffy very quickly. He can pick up and
use the Dreamers Staff, and the Axe. He can pick up but not throw the Hellfire Vial
and cannot pick up stakes.
Red Circle
Only one enemy here too, Dark Buffy. If you are carrying an item, after a
moment she will automatically have it in her hands too, with the exception of the
Reaper Wing. Although there are two Reaper Wings available in the level (one to
the right and left of the ring she came from) so she can get one. If you think you can
keep the Reaper think again, once she dies it vanishes. Also, anything that the Dark
Buffy is holding will break if you knock her over. I suppose that is probably to avoid
cluttering the ground with a bunch of duplicate weapons, there are already enough
scattered around anyway. Dark Buffy can use all items and she can kill you the same
ways you can kill her. She does all the Slayer moves.
Yellow Circle
Multiple enemies here again. You have to fight Matereani and some zombies.
When Matereani gets knocked down he will teleport from where he fell next to Buffy
automatically. If you focus your efforts on Matereani and kill him the zombies will
crumble too, they are dependant on him.
Boss Fight
Time to fight Scylla in her snake form. Fire kills her,
decapitation (using the axe) will do as well.
