Monster Arena
The monster arena is a battle arena found in Calm Lands. Any fiends captured will appear in Monster Arena.
Capture Fiends
You can capture fiends if you knock it out using a weapon with the capture ability. You cannot obtain this through customization, so you need to visit the Monster Arena owner and buy one. Each weapon has ‘Capture’ and comes with an empty slot.
To make it easier to capture fiends, focus on having Sensor, Deathstrike, Piercing, and Counter-attack, Evade & Counter, or Magic Counter as additional traits. Sensor allows you to see the fiend’s remaining HP, while Deathstrike can deal with stronger fiends. Auron or Kimahri’s Piercing will make capturing faster. Similar to Deathstrike, abilities with ‘Counter’ can be beneficial against stronger, late-game enemies.
Rebattle Monsters
You can battle the captured fiend by visiting the arena. Pay the cost for the captured fiend and the owner will allow you to battle it. Prices can range from as low as 18 gil per fight to as high as 25,000. Some fiend groups will only appear if you meet certain conditions.
You will not receive a ‘Game Over’ if your party fails to defeat the monster in the arena. Instead, you will return to the arena’s entrance.
