Walkthrough
Talk to the Master of Paths to get started, he will take you through the Training Arenas. If happen to fail during one of the tests, you can try again from the start. Upon successful completion of the four arenas, talking to Rioka will complete the quest.

 * "It is time that you being study of the art of team combat. Inside the arenas, you will learn how to fight with a team, as well as the different victory conditions of battle. To gain access to the Training Arenas, take the stairs downward again, but this time, turn right at the bottom of the stairs. On the south end of the island, speak to the Master of Paths and he will instruct you further.

Intermediate dialogue

 * "The Zaishen order hosts several arenas here where you may train in arena fighting. Four members of the order will form a team against you, while a few others will join with you so that you also have at team of four. Claim victory in all the arenas, consecutively. When you have done so, you will find yourself in the Zaishen Challenge outpost. From there, seek out Challenge Master Rioka."
