The Ostrich Hunt is a group beast-spectacle fight in Dominus Gladiatus where several of your gladiators are sent into the arena together against ostriches. It appears as a scheduled arena event during a campaign — a recorded full-game playthrough shows it arriving around day 90 of the run, announced like any other upcoming match in the fight calendar.
Where the Ostrich Hunt appears
Player recordings of the full game show the Ostrich Hunt surfacing mid-campaign rather than in the opening days. In one full playthrough, the player had 90 days behind them when the event appeared in the schedule, alongside their normal tournament matches. Once it shows up, the game behaves the way it does before any arena fight: you enter fight preparation, and the event demands a team instead of a single duelist.
Before the fight can start, the game requires you to select at least three gladiators. The recorded player only had two fighters ready and had to buy a new one at the slave market on the spot just to meet the requirement. So the practical preparation step is simple: keep at least three usable gladiators available as the event approaches, because the roster check happens at the fight screen.
What the Ostrich Hunt pays
In that same recorded run, the victory over the ostriches paid 350 coins, collected through the normal victory return to the Ludus. Players report that amount from a single full-game campaign; the developer has not published a fixed payout for the event, so treat the figure as an example of what the event can give. No separate beast-fight bonus rewards beyond the standard match payout are documented.
