Strategy
The encounter starts with Argh up on a platform in the middle of the arena, three trampolines in front of the platform, and Raaaargh on the floor. The encounter is won when either gladiator is dead, so focus on Argh, since he has far less health than Raaaargh.
Start by jumping up to one one of the trampolines at the edges, then face the middle trampoline and let it Bounce you in that direction. Don't jump manually -- the trampoline must do it to trigger the spell. Bounce again to the third trampoline, then turn and bounce up to Argh's platform to land a Critical Bounce on him for +300% damage. Keep attacking until Argh Slaps you off, so get back to the trampolines to repeat.
Raaaargh should keep running around on the ground, but try to ignore him as best as possible.
Argh has just shy of 2.7 million health, so he requires just more than 22,700 DPS to beat the enrage timer.

R. Martin are based on.
