New World: Travel to Cutlass Keys and Complete the Trial of the Gladiator
To start, it is very important to clarify that players must reach Level 24 before they will be able to participate in the Trial of the Gladiator for New World’s Marauder faction. Indeed, this requirement seems to be causing quite a lot of confusion, as fans will see Level 20 indicated in their quest logs. However, that is simply not accurate, and fans should confirm that they are at a suitable level before trying to tackle Marauder: Advancement Gladiator.
With that established, the completion of the quest is actually very straightforward. Quite simply, players should pin Marauder Advancement: Gladiator to cause a quest waypoint to appear on New World’s map. For full clarity, that waypoint is just to the west of the Cutlass Keys Hamlet, where fans will speak with Winifred Silas in order to initiate the task, and the following video should make it easy to get to the appropriate location.
Upon arrival at the Nautilus of Nunez, players should dust off their favorite weapons in New World and fight their way in. Fans should then continue forward until they ultimately arrive on the deck of a beached ship that is in the area. It is on this ship where Captain Hamidou, the target of the Trial of the Gladiator, spawns, and fans should proceed to dispatch the skeletal pirate when he has been located.
After slaying Hamidou, players will be ready to return to Winifred Silas in the Cutlass Keys Hamlet and complete their advancement. Earning the rank of Gladiator is not the only reason to tackle this task, though, as there are some further rewards associated with finishing the Trial. Specifically, those rewards are 1,540 XP, 96.25 Coins, 1,500 Tokens, and 20 Azoth. Additionally, fans will unlock Marauder Advancement: Ravager, though it cannot be completed until Level 40 has been reached and 11,000 Faction Reputation has been earned.
New World is available now on PC.
