I'm trying to get the Serpent Blue Ink Man Gladiator Badge and I'm hunting in Sirens' Call. I've looked it up and found that they have to be lvl 30+ and they are. I have killed at least 50 "blue ink men" (there are 3 different kinds - serpent, dragon and eagle) does anyone know why i don't have a bar starting or am i supposed to kill only "Serpent Blue Ink Men"? Thanks for your help.

Because there isn't a defeat badge for it, it's a gladiator badge.
Gladiator badges do not have progress bars.
You'll have to just keep killing until you get it.

That is very helpful! Thank you!!

As I understand it getting Gladiator badges were originally meant to be like secret "Easter Eggs". Players were supposed to be unaware of them and be "surprised" to get them. Of course the irony of that is that the annoyance of not having progress bars for them usually outweighs any sense of "pleasant surprise" I was supposed to enjoy by eventually getting them.

Gladiator badges are like an extra surprise kind of thing. You never know when you'll get until "surprise" you get it.

Anyways run the Talos Safeguard mission a couple times and do the extra side missions that get you more time. You'll get the gladiator badge in no time.
