The Fortis Colosseum is the toughest PvM challenge in OSRS at the time of this blog (2024 August), and is extremely punishing when attempting to complete it. One mistake almost always certainly leads to death. On average a player attempts 40-60 times before completing the challenge. If you're gearing up to take it on, I suggest having high melee & magic stats, and practice your prayer flicking. Other than that, the requirements are fairly minimal - just the quest "Children of the Sun''. If you wish to forego that, and get the Dizana's quiver in a couple of hours - feel free to click here and order it!
