TotK Coliseums: All 6 Depths Coliseums, Enemies and Rewards

The Depths of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom hide six round stone coliseums. Each one is a single running fight: enemies come in round after round, and only when all of them are down does the chest in the middle open, with a piece of headgear inside. This page covers where the six are, how to get there, what you fight in each, what you win, and whether you can come back. For the Depths in general, see the Depths guide.

How many coliseums are there, and where are they?

There are six, all in the Depths. The map and the table come from the game’s placement data; “Show on map” moves the map to that coliseum.

Click “Show on map” to move the map above to that spot.

The “How to get it” column names the Lightroot nearest the middle of each coliseum. You can only warp to a Lightroot you have lit, so the first time the most direct way in is to jump down a chasm on the surface; the routes are further down.

What enemies and rewards does each coliseum have?

Enemy counts come from the game’s placement data and include only the coliseum’s own enemies, not monsters wandering outside.

The enemies do not all rush in at once. They come in rounds: the early rounds go up the colors, two or three of one color at a time, and the last round brings one of each color together. At the Floating Coliseum the five Lynels come one after another, the last two both Silver; the Forest Coliseum has a single round, its Black Hinox.

For tactics, see each enemy’s page: Lynels, Bokoblins, Lizalfos, Moblins, Horriblins and Hinoxes. The last round puts several colors on you at once, so bring spare weapons and healing food. Since the enemies return after a Blood Moon, three of the coliseums are also a repeatable source of strong fuse horns, two per round from the two Silver monsters: Silver Bokoblin Horns at Lone Island, Silver Lizalfos Horns at Secluded and Silver Moblin Horns at Scorching.

Which chasm is closest to each coliseum?

Until you have lit a nearby Lightroot, these chasms are the shortest way down. The direction is a straight line from where you land to the coliseum.

The Depths are pitch dark; light the Lightroots along the way and next time you can warp straight to the one in the table. All chasm locations are on the chasm list.

Do coliseums respawn?

• The chest opens once. Each coliseum gives its headgear one time; a second clear gives no second copy.
• A Blood Moon resets them. After a Blood Moon the whole coliseum resets and the enemies return, so you can run it again for materials. That makes the Floating Coliseum a good Lynel farm; see Lynel farming.
• The headgear is also Old Map treasure. Six Old Maps on the sky islands point at exactly these six chests. You do not need the map to open the chest; it only shows the way. See Old Maps.

Defense and effects of all six pieces are in all armor.
