Gold Saucer

The Gold Saucer is an amusement park, located south-west of Costa del Sol and accessed by a ropeway car in North Corel. It costs 3,000 Gil per visit or you can buy a life-time pass for 30,000 Gil, which may be useful if you plan to visit more than 10 times (Chocobo training for example)

You will visit the park a few times within the story, but you can visit it any time and there are a number of places to visit:

The below sections will give details on the areas and what you can do in them.

Ropeway Station:

Probably the most important area in the park; the Ropeway station is the means of arriving and leaving the park and there are some interesting things here.

There is a man who shows up (1) with whom you can exchange Gil for GP at a rate of 100 Gil for 1 GP. You can exchange 100 GP at a time and he appears randomly.

There is a Save point (2) with a catch; It will cost 5 GP to use the Save point.

Then there is the entrance to the park (3) and the Ropeway car (4).

Battle Square:

The Battle Square is a large arena where you can enter a series of battles to earn prizes.

Each battle will earn you BP (Battle Points) which can be exchanged for prizes (3) but your points are reset if you leave the square.

When you arrive at the Battle Square station, head up the stairs to the main lobby. Once inside the arena lobby, there is a room to the right (1) called "Dio's Show Room" which contains Dio's collection of rare items.

If you talk to the receptionist (2) she will ask if you want to enter the Battle Arena for 10 GP, selecting yes will enter one of your party into a battle.

Each battle is 8 separate battles, back-to-back, between each battle is an option to back out followed by a slot machine with a condition that will affect your next battle.

There is also a Special Battle that you can do after you have purchased Omnislash and W-Summon Materia and Cloud has his Ultima Weapon.

Winning this battle will get you the Final Attack Materia. After the special battle, talk to the woman at the bottom of the stairs in the station to get Sprint Shoes.
