Out of intrigue, the witcher decided to visit this infamous arena and overheard two [[Skelliger|skelligers]], [[Gunnar]] and [[Lydrik]], on the arena's watchtower talking about ways to rid the arena of a [[wraith]] by perhaps using salted blades or leaden balls or even calling on [[druids]] to help. The witcher knew well none of this would work and so intervened to help. Knowing that a [[witcher]] was in their midst, the men turned to Geralt to rid their arena of the wraith that was haunting it. |

You can then agree to help them out and they'll offer a reward on top of a percentage of the profit from the first fight once the arena is usable again (the second reward is only available if you talk to them before lifting the curse). |

| − | Curious about who his foe was, the witcher pressed for more details about this wraith so [[Lydrik]] gladly explained that the wraith was called [[Ulle the Unlucky]] in the time of his great great grandfather because he lost every bout he entered. Even though Ulle always recovered from his wounds, a day came when the jarl drew lots for a tournament and drew [[Ulle the Unlucky]] as his opponent. The jarl ridiculed [[Ulle the Unlucky|Ulle]] to the crowds because he was sure of his victory. When the jarl did indeed win, [[Ulle the Unlucky|Ulle]] couldn't take it anymore and stabbed him in the back with a dagger so the jarl, Thormar, cursed him to lose for centuries on end. Ever since then, the arena has been unable to host normal fights because [[Ulle the Unlucky|Ulle]] kept appearing even when he's already lost to everyone in the village. This was a deep problem for the village's withering fame because it endangered the custom of [[Spikeroog]] bouts where it was known throughout [[Skellige]] for the best warriors to clash there. If the witcher agrees to help, the men will agree to pay the witcher with the champion's purse and a share of the arena's future earnings. |

The witcher, [[Geralt of Rivia]], can then face the ghost of the arena; if the witcher kills [[Ulle the Unlucky|Ulle]], he'll applaud Geralt and Geralt will remark how useless that was. At this point, the quest will not end and Ulle will reappear after some days. If Geralt takes the wraith's blows until a certain point, [[Ulle the Unlucky|Ulle]] will surprisingly remark that he's defeated you and will hear sounds and voices summoning him to the feast of heroes. He'll thank Geralt for what he's done and vanish before the witcher can even say his farewell. (20 {{Xp}}) |

Master of the Arena is a secondary quest in The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt.
Important: this quest must be completed if you wish to do Fists of Fury: Champion of Champions.
Walkthrough
Head to the arena in Hov on Spikeroog to learn of a wraith that haunts the arena, preventing warriors from fighting in it. Note: you must talk with the guards in the tower or the wraith first to fight him, otherwise your strikes will do nothing against him and he won't fight back. Also, for maximum reward and experience, talk with the guards before lifting the curse.
The guards in the tower overlooking the arena will reveal the wraith was once a man named Ulle the Unlucky, who lost every bout he fought and during one tournament was paired against the jarl, who ridiculed Ulle so much the warrior killed the jarl while they were in the arena, and thus the jarl cursed him that he should never win a fight. You can then agree to help them out and they'll offer a reward on top of a percentage of the profit from the first fight once the arena is usable again (the second reward is only available if you talk to them before lifting the curse).
With this in mind, head into the arena to meet Ulle, who passively walks around the arena proclaiming everyone always beats him. You can talk with him to learn more, revealing he's bored and just get it over with, sparing the banal remarks. If you choose to fight and kill him, you'll quickly see it was rather useless and didn't do anything and will have to wait a few days for Ulle to appear again.
However, if you paid attention to the story, you'll realize to lift the curse you must let Ulle win. This time, when you fight him, don't strike back and instead let Ulle wound you enough for him to defeat Geralt, lifting the curse (25 
). Once the curse is lifted, talk with the guards who will reward you an additional 10 and 15 
regardless if you talked to them beforehand or not. If you didn't talk to them, this will conclude the quest. If you did talk to them before lifting the curse though, return in a few days and talk to the guards once more, who'll give you an additional 25 and 20 , concluding the quest.
