When you start out in the strategic medieval RPG Wartales, you'll find that most classes have three specialties. However, most classes have a hidden specialization that you can unlock, so read on to find out how.
How to get all hidden class specializations in Wartales
All of the seven hidden class specializations in Wartales involve the same process. You need to defeat the champion of the arena of a region and then talk to an NPC (in the same area) who will teach you the hidden class specialization. It doesn't matter if you talk to the NPC before or after beating the arena.
Tiltren District is the only region that does not have a hidden class associated with it, while Grinmeer has two. There is an arena in the small area of Mount Aldis. However, the Arena of Legends there is associated with the Power and Glory quests (part of the Power and Glory Path) and is the only arena not associated with any hidden classes.
How to get the Marksmen (Archer) hidden class.
Nairolf Arena, Ludern Region
The quest is called Worthy Descendants and you can take it from Corastos in Murwen Fishery. After you beat the champion in Nairolf Arena, Corastos will teach you how to train Marksmen. You can also buy the Training Dummy recipe at Nairolf Arena after you beat it. This is a great camping item that allows two companions to get bonus XP when you camp.

How to get the hidden class Brawler (Brute).
Lisbeth's Arena, Drombach District
If you go to the Trapper's Hut high on Mount Ernst, you will meet Waltraud. She will ask you to take the crown by defeating all the enemies in Lisbeth's Arena (the quest is called Stealing the Show). Do that, return to Waltraud, and she'll teach you the Brawler specialization for the Brute class. If you go there before completing the arena, be sure to place a python right on the cliff edge north of the cabin to make it easier to get there when you return.
How to get the Tyrant (Pugilist) hidden class.
Oris's Arena, Belerion Archipelago
This hidden class is only available if you have the Pirates of Belerion DLC. The quest is called Eternal Glory and can be found in the Cutthroat Tavern, the only destination available on Terq Island (talk to Ailean the Gladiator internally). Oris' Arena is on Zawlin Island. You'll find Zawlin Island southwest of Per-Bast Island, while Terq Island is much further southeast.
How to use Hidden Class Specializations in Wartales
Using hidden classes is a relatively simple process once you've picked them up in Wartales. After completing one of the above quests, you will then see the new specialization automatically listed as an option for any companion who has that class (at either level 2 or level 3, depending on the base class of the specialization). You don't have to do anything to learn it after you've completed the quest (there's no item to use or Compendium entry to learn).
What can be more difficult is training one of your companions in the new secret class specialization if you don't want to take a new companion. It is possible to respect one of your peers, but it is not cheap. You must go to any of the Brother Training Centers (there is one in each region) and spend 500 Crowns for the 'Respecialization' option with the NPC there.
