Unlocking and Completing Challenges in Sifu Arenas Expansion

Playing Sifu Arenas Expansion means that you will get to brawl in 9 different arenas that have 5 challenges each. Each one of these challenges will have three levels of difficulty marked as dots. Completing the challenge on the highest level will earn you three dots, the medium level will give you two, while the lowest level will add only a single dot to your total score.

Unlocking New Challenges in Sifu Arenas Expansion

At the start of the game, you will have access to one arena and its 5 challenges. You will get to new challenges by unlocking new arenas and this is done by accumulating challenge dots. So, as we mentioned one arena has 5 challenges with 3 dots each, which means you can take up to 15 dots if you complete all challenges on the highest level in the first arena.

The second arena requires 5 dots in total to be unlocked, the third requires 10, the fourth requires 15, etc. You get the picture. Each next arena will require 5 more dots than the previous one did and with each new arena unlocked you get an opportunity to collect new dots from its challenges. This system makes sure that you don’t have to be a perfect player in this already challenging enough brawler game, but that instead you can do your own calculations and complete only some challenges for unlocking new arenas and progressing onwards.

Completing Challenges in Sifu Arenas Expansion

Challenges are plentiful in Sifu Areas Expansion and each one is different from the previous. They will have their own conditions called “Modifiers” that are actually sets of advantages and disadvantages that you will experience on a particular challenge.

These can be something like “enemies have 2x damage”, ” your guard is ignored”, “no health recovery”, “all shrine bonuses”, etc. Sometimes there will be one or maybe no modifiers, but in other cases, there might be 5 or 6 modifiers at once.

There will be three levels of difficulty for completing each challenge. Each one will require you to meet a certain goal. Sometimes the goal will be to survive while other times it will be to simply perform better. For example, the game won’t penalize you for losing your health or lives but will instead measure how fast you can complete the challenge.

Don’t be upset if you struggle to complete some challenges. This game is tough to master and with time and practice you will be able to get those higher-level dots without a problem.
