How to Fight in the Coliseum in Yakuza Kiwami 3
When Does the Coliseum Unlock?
The Coliseum unlocks in Chapter 8: Conspirators. To start, you will want to hastily progress to Chapter 7: The Mad Dog, in which you will be tasked with going to Purgatory. Purgatory can be found within the public toilets in West Park in Kamurocho. Once inside, you will have to fight Goro Majima in the Coliseum.
After the battle, leave the Coliseum to enter the central area of Purgatory, where, after walking around, you will be chased down by Nishida, who will let you know that the Coliseum is open. With the Coliseum now open, head inside the west building in Purgatory and speak to the man at reception to go through the list of fights.
To rise through the ranks in the Coliseum, you will need to acquire high ranks, which is achieved by completing the fight in the fastest time possible.
