Midas Grand Prix requirements
I've completed all previous Colosseum cups (including Abyssal Cup III), finished the main story, found every chest in the game (and got the achievement confirmation), levelled all my characters until 45 and still can't unlock the Midas Grand Prix.

Any final suggestion before I give up, please? I don't really want to grind endlessly without knowing for sure if it is a matter of level.

For me the Tournament was unlocked, the only other Tournament i had beaten when i had noticed (after the final boss), was the one required for the story.

Did you defeat the Duck Truck Miniboss during your playthrough in Chapter 14?
Check your Trinkets if you have Pandoras Box, if you do not own it you know for sure you have not.

So my guess is you have to defeat every enemy that will apear in the Midas Cup to unlock it.
But as i said in the beginning i am not sure about it.

The problem is that I can't actually play the Midas Grand Prix and I don't know what else I can do to unlock it.

I tried everything I could think of, do you remember if you did something in particular to unlock it?

Oh, sorry, I misunderstood what the problem is :/

Well, I've finished the main story and after this went to the Colosseum and finished all the cups one after another without having any restrictions.
I think that maybe my characters were a bit overleveled at the moment :hmmmx:


Well, considering the people's response you probably normally either must have 45 level with all the characters or having 46 lvl with the ones you use:

I guss its level or story progress locked.

If it's not a bug, then I'll suggest you to level up the characters you use to 46 lvl first and then try to enter, and if this won't work, then lvl up all the characters to 46 lvl. If this won't work, then I dunno really :spazdunno:

Well, just hard-grinded the 5 characters to level 46 and still nothing, RIP me I guess... Let’s wish maybe a developer sees the forum and can shed some light about it.

Anyway, thanks a lot for the help, appreciate it!

I found more people who were asking how to unlock Midas Grand Prix but didn't found a solution for this problem -
https://www.reddit.com/r/Stadia/comments/hozwdh/please_help_i_am_on_steamworld_quest_and_ive_done/


I also noticed that I've fully finished the game before this one patch, which is said to lower requirements for the “Midas Grand Prix” -
https://steamcommunity.com/games/804010/announcements/detail/1606016206554215313
Other game improvements include:
* Reduced entry requirements for the “Midas Grand Prix” colosseum tournament.
So now it theoretically should be even easier to unlock... :PuzzleBallDONT_KNOW:

But well, they never specified what are this requirements are.
At this point you just may also try asking them what are they.

Yes, I saw the support email in the FAQ post, but because I don't really know if it is a bug or not I wanted to try asking in the forums first. Maybe the Image & Form Games PR is still around.

I think I'll wait a couple more days and then ask them via email, thanks again for trying to help!

YES. It was this, I've just repeated the Chapter 14, defeated the Miniboss and when I came back to the Chapter selection menu there was the exclamation symbol advertising there was a new challenge in the Colosseum!

Thanks A LOT for the guess, I had already uninstalled the game and was trying to forget about it at this point.
