}}

The <b>Trial of the Warrior</b> is the first trial in the [[Colosseum of Fools]] available to [[the Knight]].

Requires {{G|100}} to open.

Upon clearing it for the first time, the Knight receives a [[Charm Notch]], {{G|1000-1024}}, and the <i>Warrior</i> [[Achievements (Hollow Knight)|achievement]]. Subsequent victories reward {{G|1000-1024}}.


[[Zote the Mighty]] only appears as the final opponent after he has been saved in [[Greenpath]] and [[Deepnest]] and can only be defeated in the trial once.

== Tips ==
For the [[Shielded Fool]]s in wave 1, they can be hit once as soon as they spawn.

For wave 2, the [[Sharp Baldur]]s can be triggered one at a time. This will give time to heal.

The [[Sturdy Fool]]s in wave 3 can be killed using the same strategy as [[Husk Miner]]s.

For waves 4 and 5, rush the [[Primal Aspid]]s down. By staying on the rightmost or leftmost platforms there is a window to heal.

For wave 6, the Sturdy Fools on the top platforms are no hassle and they can be easily avoided by using the [[Shape of Unn]] [[Charms|Charm]].

In wave 7, get onto the highest platform to easily kill the Primal Aspids without being harmed by the Sharp Baldurs.
