Gladius Question- Updated! Please Look!

What a  Great game! Keeping Halo2 and Fable on the shelf.

Can you return to previous lands once you've won the regional tournament?
For example i beat Norgath (spelling) and would like to return to clean up some of the unwon leagues. Can I do this?

Thanks.

It's been a while, but I'm 90% sure you can do that.

You can go back but by the time you can, the experience from the early leagues isn't worth doing. Nor will the fights be challenging at all.

You can't go back until you've beaten all 4 of the regions' regional tournaments.  There are even some tournaments you can't do on your first visit, because they require the higher-level certifications.

There are a few new tournaments/quests that open in previous regions only after you are done with the 'plot' stuff in the first four regions but have yet to go on to the high tournament.  Check GameFAQs.

I loved this game too.

So how do you do go from region to region?

There's a gate between imperia and nordagh that is visible enough, but when I walk up to it I am unable to pass it.

[olaf]

Initially you can only access 'new' regions at certain plot points, basically when you beat certain tourneys/quests...I forget the exact criteria.  And I dont think you can backtrack to any previous regions until you have unlocked/beaten the four main regions.  And once you enter the High Tournament, you cant backtrack anywhere.

It's been a while, but I seem to remember having to take a boat from region to region after we beat all four regionals.

And yeah, don't go for the main tournament until you are done exploring.  No returning from that.

That's not correct.  The enemies will ALWAYS scale to your party's current level. So a fight from the very first town you encountered will have high-level enemies if you revisit it at the end of the game with party members at level 20.

You can only advance to the next region after you've won all the necessary badges and tournaments for that region, and then won the championship match for that region.  Then you are allowed to advance, but you don't have to go right away if you still have other quests to do.

I highly recommend picking up the official Strategy Guide for this game, if for thing else than the excellent summary of all the available gladiator classes in the game. I was constantly referencing it for various skills and abilities.

Great game, I put in 106 hours to beat it over a 4 month period.
