Dio

The Battle Square, also known equally battle arena, or the Colosseum, is a department of the Gold Saucer in Final Fantasy VII. It is a battle arena where the player selects a unmarried grapheme and fights in a gauntlet-fashion friction match, facing eight enemies in a row to earn points to exchange for prizes.

The Battle Square is offset visited in "Sanctuary of Amusement" afterwards Cait Sith joins, when the political party meets Dio, but its battles are not open to the histrion. They get available following "The Desert Prison", afterward the player acquires the buggy. The player must participate in one mandatory battle in "Secret Date", Dio tells the party he'll requite them the Keystone if Cloud agrees to "entertain" him. Subsequently Falling star is summoned, when Cloud rejoins the party, the Battle Square is open once over again with a diversity of very valuable prizes. Cloud also may become eligible for a special round at the loonshit.

Starting a battle at the Boxing Foursquare earns the Battle Foursquare achievement in the PC version re-release of Final Fantasy VII.

Layout [ ]

Overview [ ]

The Boxing Square is ane of the eight zones in the Gold Saucer, and the 5th from the left from the Gold Saucer'south entrance. It is accessible from all zones. The role player enters the Battle Square from its archway.

The Boxing Square is divided into various locations. The main attraction is the loonshit accessed during battles, and the player will otherwise spend their time in the loonshit foyer. The Boxing Square houses Dio's museum, a exhibit off to the side of the lobby. A secluded area beyond the lobby is a room where prisoners can be trapped and thrown into the Corel Prison.

Entrance [ ]

The Archway ("Battle Square" in the carte) is the first location of Battle Square and the only way to access it. It has viii doorways leading to the other areas of the theme park, each titled above with the Boxing Square'south name in a unique colour. A doorway to the Gilt Saucer entrance appears on either side.

A regal-carpeted stairway leads to the Square's allure. From the exterior it appears like a castle, a drape on purple fabric depicting a sword and shield on either side. Beneath the drapes lights polish a ray of yellowish and royal into the sky. The door leads into the loonshit foyer. In the center above the entrance is a shield symbol with ii-crossed swords.

On the actor's start visit to the Battle Foursquare a male staff will foreclose them from climbing the stairs, citing renovations. When the player returns afterward recruiting Cait Sith from the Wonder Foursquare, they volition discover a falling guard and Deject volition encounter the lobby. When the player returns later, a man will tell of the curator's collection displayed at the arena, but he volition no longer be hither later the Northern Cave events at the offset of Part 2.

A woman standing next to the long stairs can be constitute here on the player's return. Speaking to her (she appears just afterwards the party was jailed), selecting "That's the idea", then chirapsia the eighth circular at the arena and speaking to her once more, earns Dart Shoes. Beating either the Special Friction match or the regular match counts. If one chooses "Not interested", even after winning eight consecutive battles, she'll disappear, and the player won't get the accessory. She only gives the accompaniment one time.

Whenever the actor enters the entrance their BP will become 0, meaning every time the player exits the lobby they will lose their accumulated points.

Arena Anteroom [ ]

The Arena Lobby (闘技場ロビー, Tōgijō Robī ?) is where the thespian tin can sign up for battles and earn rewards. To the left and right of the archway are machines where the player can spend accumulated BP on prizes. A man continuing by the car on the right will explain the Battle Square, but only once. At the back of the room in the corners are two help desks whose staff allow players to sign-up for matches.

In the middle at the dorsum and up some stairs is a door into the arena. To a higher place the door is a sign with a skull and the word "CHALLENGER". On the left and right are blue drapes with the symbol of the sword and shield like the ones at the entrance. A imperial carpet runs downwards the centre of the room. On the correct mitt side is a doorway with the sign "DIOs SHOW ROOM" leading to Dio's Museum.

The first time the player is hither a number of gunned-down Shinra infantrymen will lie on the floor, and Dio and security apprehend the player political party. The party will then run on into the arena.

Dio'southward Museum [ ]

Dio's Museum (ディオの展示場, Dio no Tenjijō ?), also known as Dio's Show Room, tin be entered from the arena anteroom. The area is bordered with Dio's prized possessions. At the back of the room is a portrait of Dio, while the center-piece remains empty for a portion of the game, otherwise containing the Keystone.

The player must enter this surface area after obtaining the Tiny Bronco to have the Keystone. Dio asks Deject to enter the arena, merely the player earns the Keystone regardless if they escape, are defeated, or if they succeed in all viii battles. The actor earns no BP from the battles, but if they win all eight, Dio awards the histrion with a Protect Belong and a Choco Feather.

Loonshit [ ]

The Loonshit (闘技場, Tōgijō ?) is an area visited but briefly. In the center of the location is where the fights occur. The arena is down a flight of stairs, and has a walkway around it and a moat of purple water. In the center a phrase is written on the circumvolve surrounding the loonshit: "The brave practice non fright the grave." At the back of the arena is an entrance to the Gateway to Heaven room.

The arena is entered when the histrion chooses to fight at the Battle Square, and starts with the player running into the loonshit and preparing for battle before the bodily battle begins. The player is chased into the expanse during the story where they are surrounded by security robots that accept the party into the Gateway to Sky.

Although the histrion can never control the graphic symbol in this room, exits are withal programmed. This is prove that the Gateway to Heaven room is backside the arena, which is otherwise just transitioned exercise past fading to black from the arena.

Gateway to Sky [ ]

The Gateway to Heaven is a slime-covered stone room behind the arena. In the center is a round trapdoor with the text "GATEWAY TO HEAVEN" around information technology. The door is operated by a machine in the corner. This gate is used to bring monsters for battle, the chains on the wall are used to restrain them.

The area is visited when Deject and his agile party are arrested by Dio. The security robots grab the prisoners and jump downwards the gate into Corel Prison.

Rules [ ]

You fight here and collect battle points. You lot can then exchange those points for prizes.

NPC

The player pays x GP to participate. The thespian must kickoff select a party fellow member to fight with, who is then sent into the arena. They fight a battle, subsequently which they see how many Battle Points they have accumulated, and are allowed to choose to keep or quit. If they continue on, a slot reel appears and spins, giving the histrion a handicap based on the event. The player continues fighting until they either quit, win all eight matches, or are defeated.

If the player loses, they receive a worthless alleviation prize. If they quit or win, they receive Battle Points (BP). BP tin can be exchanged for items (see below) at the Battle Square, including Cloud'due south ultimate Limit Break manual, Omnislash. BP is reset when the player leaves the Battle Foursquare, so players should attempt to expend all points before exiting.

Withal the player enters the Battle Square, is how they get out the Battle Square. HP and MP return to the values as earlier entering, and if i were to go in with a full Limit Break bar, i would exit the Battle Square with a full Limit Break bar, regardless of whether they used a Limit in the boxing. Condition furnishings that one enters the Battle Square with remain intact, such as Fury or Sadness. Because no Battle Results are shown even after winning all battles, the player volition non earn Experience Points or Ability Points, and the enemies killed in Battle Square exercise not count toward learning new Limit Breaks.

Considering the player'southward condition returns to the moment they were in earlier entering the Battle Foursquare battles, the role player cannot learn Enemy Skills from the monsters there; even if it appears the skill was learned, it volition be gone from the Materia when the histrion is returned to the field. Whatsoever used items, however, volition be lost from the player's inventory, and the histrion is notwithstanding able to morph opponents into items and steal from them.

Enemies [ ]

The monsters in the Battle Square change depending on the point in the game the histrion is at. There are two "pools" of enemies from which the encounters are drawn at random, and the chance of ending with Group A or Group B is equal. Many types of enemies are found in either pool, and the enemies in the final rounds are e'er the same in both Group A and Group B. Some of the enemies encountered in the Battle Square are very rare and unsafe, including the Stilva, Malboro, Blueish Dragon, Ghost Transport, and the Serpent.

Loonshit enemies accept twice as many hit points as they normally exercise, and their Assail and Magic Assault receive a 25% heave, making them stronger than regular encounters.

Ii enemies, the Ho-chu and Tonberry, are fought exclusively in the Battle Square. Both enemies were originally intended to be fought elsewhere, however, the formations cannot be fought past ordinary ways in the final game. Ho-chu was planned to be an inescapable run into in the Aboriginal Wood, and Tonberry an encounter in the Whirlwind Maze. Its counterpart, the Chief Tonberry, can still exist institute within the final dungeon areas of the Northern Cavern.

Battle Points and prizes [ ]

The player always starts with 10 points and goes on to win more Boxing Points for the 2nd and successive matches, i.east. every time they take a handicap. The handicap determines the amount of points awarded, worse handicaps giving improve BP, simply this is only noticeable for the final rounds. If the player wins all matches, or if they choose to quit between battles, they get to take abroad the BP they had accumulated; no points are awarded if the player is killed or petrified in battle. BP are awarded even if the histrion uses Escape magic or Smoke Bombs, simply not if the player uses the Escape battle menu control. The maximum BP i can obtain in one run is 12,586. After various runs the player can accrue a maximum of 65,000 BP, in which if it get more BP these will be lost.

The Battle Points tin can be redeemed for items at the terminals, but if at any time the player leaves the Battle Square, their Battle Points reset to zero. Prizes may be purchased multiple times, with the exception of the Omnislash manual and the Westward-Summon Materia, which can exist purchased only once.

Handicaps [ ]

After each battle, the thespian must spin a slot reel; depending on what they stop the reel on, they receive a sure handicap. Some handicaps can exist avoided, or their effects minimized, with equipment. The player receives more than BP the worse handicaps they go, and the afterwards the circular they accept fought to—if they receive the "All Materia is cleaved" handicap on the eighth fight, they volition win over 10,000 BP. So while taking larger handicaps on purpose is risky, it tin can be rewarding.

The thespian can dull the reels slightly by borer or switch. Another trick is to concord or switch, which would stop spinning the reel; however, information technology also hides the graphics of the reel. The player will desire to stop the reel at the handicap earlier the one they desire shows up. One time the reel is stopped, ane must quickly allow go of or switch and tap or ok. With some practice on the timing, the player should be able to finish the reel at the desired handicap.

The first reel determines the results on all subsequent reels, as getting a reel with only ane handicap will crusade all subsequent reels to gyre only ane handicap also, with a dissimilar handicap each time up until around match 6. If the actor gets this unfortunate pattern, the reels volition never spin a handicap the player would be immune to. The histrion may also go a pattern where they find a positive "handicap" in every reel. Some other common design is for the reels to contain a specific handicap once on each reel, normally a status. This may still occur when the player has an immunity to that status, and then the player tin potentially get the aforementioned result for every reel and accept no outcome; however, the status handicaps do not offering significant BP.

The seventh and 8th matches earn much more BP than the earlier rounds; the amount awarded for taking handicaps is multiplied by successively college numbers equally the matches progress, with the last two being markedly higher.

Numbers marked in italics announce that the handicap cannot be earned in that round in normal gameplay.

Strategy [ ]

It is recommended the player comes equipped with their character's strongest weapon and a powerful armor, and a Ribbon, if available. The Ribbon prevents status ailments, giving the thespian a handful of "safe" handicaps, as Small, Frog, and Toxicant will non affect them if they come up on the reel. The player can also pair an Added Outcome Materia with a Hades Materia to protect against many status furnishings. The status result Resist doesn't protect against statuses gained from the handicap reels, which tin can lead to a serious handicap, as one time applied, the Resist status volition prevent the thespian from removing the status with normal Esuna spells and healing items.

The actor can make use of an Enemy Skill Materia with Big Guard (for Haste, Bulwark and MBarrier), Magic Hammer (for replenishing MP) and Dragon Forcefulness (for boosted defense force) learned. HP Plus, MP Plus and Luck Plus (for higher critical hit chance) Materia are likewise useful, as is a high-leveled Restore Materia. If the actor'south Materia breaks, or they lose all their MP due to a handicap, they should take several useful items to compensate. In endgame Elixirs and X-Potions tin be easily obtained through the W-Particular duplication bug, or stolen/dropped from enemies in the Northern Cave.

For a more than physical-ambitious strategy, the use of Double Cut or Slash-All is recommended. If Slash-All is upgraded to Flash, the thespian tin can instantly dispatch about enemies in a single turn.

It is also useful to identify the fighter in the back row to have less impairment and use the Long Range Materia (or a character with a long range weapon). Equipping counterattack Materia and Sneak Assail lets the player perform more turns, and equipping multiple counterattack Materia at once also stacks.

The battles won't reward the player with EXP, AP or particular drops, and so it is good to prioritize defence against the number of Materia slots when choosing armor; e.chiliad. the Gigas Armlet (stolen from Gigas), Adaman Bangle (stolen from Adamantaimai), or even Ziedrich (stolen from Turks:Rude) are proficient for Battle Square considering of high defense, despite having few Materia slots. One of the best possible armor to employ is the Mystile (plant in Midgar during the Function 2 visit, and in the Northern Cave), as its defence force and magic defense evade rates are loftier.

Nearly status effects, both positive and negative, acquit on to sequent battles, so if the actor casts Haste or Large Baby-sit in the starting time battle, Haste will acquit through the entire match. Regen is a useful fashion to proceed HP upwardly without having to repeatedly heal. Expiry-sentence does not carry through to subsequent battles (even though fellow countdown condition Slow-numb does).

If the player comes up against a Tonberry, i can easily become invulnerable past casting Death Strength from the Enemy Skill Materia, which makes Tonberry'due south instant death move miss.

If the player ends up breaking their weapon, they tin can use Goblin Punch from the Enemy Skill Materia to bypass the effect, although it volition do simply 75% of the normal attack (even so, it can deal critical hits), and the player must be wary of not getting the All Suspension handicap, at least non in the early stages.

Since the handicap timing that earns the almost BP is at the seventh and 8th matches, and the handicap types that earn the most BP are "Magic Materia Breaks" and "All Materia Breaks", the highest BP combination cannot be won with Escape magic, but Smoke Flop items.

If the All Lucky 7s outcome activates on the Battle Square, the histrion enters the next battle with 7,777 HP after dispatching the enemies, but without the All Lucky 7s upshot. A unmarried command will reactivate it.
