Your guide to returning to the Gold Saucer in Final Fantasy VII Rebirth. Learn about the Pirate King's Treasure, Zack's flashback, and the Musclehead Colosseum challenges.

Alright, so you've made it back to Costa Del Sol via the Tiny Bronco. Before you fast travel to the Gold Saucer, make sure you interact with that chest on the dock. It kicks off the Pirate King’s Treasure Side Quest and gets you the Corsair’s Compass. Once you're ready, head to the Gold Saucer and find Dio at the Battle Square. After chatting with him, make your way to the Ghost Square and get some rest.

This next part throws you into a flashback as Zack. Your job is to take the towel upstairs to Cloud, then head outside and follow the path to the motorcycle. After Cloud wakes up, you'll leave the house and be greeted by whoever you have the best relationship with for a date! To kick things off, head to the Event Square and check out the theater for the Loveless Minigame. It’s pretty straightforward – just press the buttons as they appear on screen.

Once the play wraps up, it’s off to the Skywheel Square for the actual date scene. From there, you'll find yourself at the Musclehead Colosseum. You’ve got three rounds to get through here, facing off against Corneo Lackeys, Cacneos, Tonberries, and a Donberry.

Corneo Lackeys

These guys are pretty easy to deal with. Just spamming Triple Slash or Fire spells should take care of them quickly. If you start taking too much damage, don't be afraid to back off and heal up before jumping back into the fray.

Cacneos

Watch out, these enemies are fast! You won’t be able to land hits until they pause to attack. When they do, hit them hard with a strong single-target attack like Braver. If you see them charging up 1,000 Needles, get some distance, or you'll be in for a world of hurt.

You'll face two Tonberries and a Donberry in the final round. Your best bet is to attack them and be ready to dodge their Chef’s Kiss ability. Getting hit by this is an instant KO, so you'll need a Phoenix Down or Raise spell to get back in the fight. Focus on the Tonberries first since they have less health.

After you've cleared these three rounds, you'll move on to the main boss of this section: Abzu.
