The Slice Is Right is a GATE in Gold Saucer. Avoid Yojimbo's attacks and reap rich rewards.
How to Participate
Speak with the Strangely Garbed Gentleman at the Gold Saucer (X:7.6 Y:4.7)
Tips and Tricks
Yojimbo will summon bamboo stalks and quickly slices through them. The cut he makes will determine how they fall:
- A single diagonal cut will cause the bamboo to fall in the direction of the cut, causing a line AoE.
- Multiple diagonal cuts cause the bamboo to fall in a circular AoE.
- A single vertical cut will split the bamboo in half, causing line AoEs on opposite sides of the bamboo.
Standing where bamboo is going to emerge, or getting hit by falling bamboo will cause you to fail the GATE.
If you find it difficult to see the bamboo slices, try zooming out, adjusting your camera's tilt angle or hiding your HUD.
Part 1: Yojimbo summons 1 bamboo stalk once, then 2 bamboo stalks twice.
Part 2: Spectator NPCs throw 4 piles of gold onto the stage and Yojimbo summons Daigoro to collect them. Collect piles yourself to earn extra MGP. Standing in Daigoro's path or near a pile when he jumps will cause you to fail the GATE. Watch the direction Daigoro faces to know which pile he's going to jump to next.
Part 3: Yojimbo summons 2 bamboo stalks twice, then 3 bamboo stalks once.
Part 4: Yojimbo spawns 3 giant cups, spins them, then divides the platform into thirds. You must decide which section to stand in to get the reward from that cup. One reward is gold, one reward is nothing, and the last reward is getting knocked off the stage and failing the GATE. This is completely luck-based.
Part 5: Yojimbo summons 3 bamboo stalks twice, then 4 bamboo stalks thrice.
Rewards
Part 1: 1000 MGP
Part 2: 1000 MGP per pile
Part 3: 2000 MGP
Part 4: 2x current winnings / Nothing / Failure
Part 5: 2000 MGP
You will fail the GATE when either struck by Yojimbo or after falling off the stage, at which time you will receive a reward commensurate to your progress in the GATE and any additional MGP earned.
- No MGP will be received when voluntarily leaving the stage.
The most MGP you can win is 12,000 by dodging all bamboo, collecting 2 piles of gold and guessing correctly on the cups.
Lore
