Return to the Gold Saucer

Though the Tiny Bronco can't fly anymore, you'll be able to skim through the shallows and rivers of the FF7 world. Explore the West Continent to your heart's content. With the Tiny Bronco, you can also complete Yuffie's optional side quest in Wutai (see the section on Secret Characters for more info).

Once you're through with your explorations, head to the southeastern portion of the West Continent via the river. Talk to the weaponsmith there (by the way, he's the one you can exchange the Mythril with) and you'll find that he sold the Keystone , which you need to enter the Temple of the Ancients, to Dio. So what do you do? Return to the Gold Sacuer!

Once there, head to the Battle Arena and go east to Dio's showroom. Examine the Keystone in the middle of the room and Dio appears. Ask him how you can get the Keystone and he'll tell you that he'll give it to you if you fight in the Battle Arena. You only need to win one battle to receive the Keystone (see the section on the Battle Arena for tips), but if you win all eight battles, Dio will reward you with several items including a Protect Vest and a Choco Feather.

Meeting in the Ghost InnNow that you've got the Keystone, head to the Railway Station and you'll find that it's broken. Cait Sith appears and suggests everyone stay in the Ghost Inn in the meanwhile, and the next thing you know, everyone's there. A short meeting ensues (actually, a llllooonnnggg meeting) telling everyone of what's going on ensues, then everyone heads into their rooms.

You hear a knock on your door and someone appears: depending on the answers you gave to the three ladies in the game, you'll get either Aeris, Tifa, or Yuffie. Chances are you'll get Aeris, but as for Tifa and Yuffie (to a greater extent), you'll have little chance on going on a date with them.

After the romantic interlude at the gondola, you and your date encounter Cait Sith. Chase him throughout the Gold Saucer, and if you lose track of him, head over to the Chocobo Square. There, he hands over the Keystones to Tseng, who, riding on a helicopter, subsequently flies away. You yell at Cait Sith, but you soon learn that he's holding Marlene and Aunt Elmyra hostage. With no other choice, you allow him to continue the quest with you.

You then find yourself back in your hotel room. Before leaving for downstairs, chack the compartment to the northeast for an Elixir. Heading downstairs, another meeting ensues. During that meeting, you'll learn of your next destination: the Temple of the Ancients. Aeris states adamantly that she's going to go, so choose a third person to accompany you.
