How the Carnage Hall Tournament works in Dying Light 2 Bloody Ties DLC

The Carnage Hall Tournament is the center point of the Bloody Ties DLC for Dying Light 2. You can take on various side quests in the Carnage Hall and complete multiple arena challenges. But before you can even reach the Tournament at the Carnage Hall, you must complete the quests:  Madmen from Villedor and First Bood. After completing these quests, you will find yourself at the Carnage Hall. You will be introduced to arena challenges and the Tournament Rank System at the Carnage Hall.

What are the arena challenges in Dying Light 2 Bloody Ties DLC?

Arena challenges are akin to mini-games, where players must complete various timed objectives. There are four arena challenges that players can take at Carnage Hall. Here are all four arena challenges explained below:

• Spectacle: The Spectacle arena challenge is a mini-game that tasks players with completing various objectives with a unique theme. The objectives vary from killing certain marked enemies or turning on generators and setting up traps.
• Rush: The Rush Arena is a challenging mini-game that requires players to race against the clock to meet various checkpoints or checkmarks across several obstacles.
• Carnage: This challenge arena is simple as it only requires players to kill marked infected before the timer runs out.
• Freak Fight: The Freak Fight arena is a boss battle mini-game where players must fight one tough Freak Infected.

The max difficulty arena challenges can have extreme difficulty, but you will only be at that level when you first get to Carnage Hall. In short, you must complete arena challenges until you eventually work up in Tournament Rank or Fame Rank.
