There are two interludes. In the first, Yojimbo spawns four gold piles which will be gobbled up by Diagoro in sequence. Clicking a pile will reward more [[MGP]], but standing on the pile when Diagoro jumps to it will cause you to fail the GATE. The second interlude sees Yojimbo spawn three cups, spin them, then divide the platform into thirds. You must decide which section to stand in to get the reward from the cup. One reward is gold, one reward is nothing, and the last reward is being knocked off the platform and failing the GATE.

Hailing from the Far East, the mysterious swordsman Yojimbo descends upon the Gold Saucer! Only those with lightning-quick reflexes and the providence of the kami will be able to withstand his onslaught and reign victorious in the ultimate test of skill...and sheer luck.

— Lodestone Gold Saucer page

The Slice Is Right is a GATE in Gold Saucer added in Patch 5.1. 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 slice 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. It makes no difference what job you run the GATE as. Entering the GATE arena applies a persistent debuff that that prevents the usage of all abilities and disables all passive effects (such a Ninja's increased movement speed from their Fleet of Foot.png  Fleet of Foot trait).

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, one containing a pile of gold, one containing Daigro, one containing nothing. He then rapidly swaps and spins them, akin to a real-world shell game, then divides the platform into thirds, each containing one cup. You must decide which section to stand in and receive whatever ends up being in that cup. You will not be able to move starting just before the cups are revealed. If the cup in your section contains the pile of gold, your MGP reward thus far in the event is doubled. If your section contains Daigro, you're knocked from the arena. If your cup is empty, you simply continue to the next phase. This is completely luck-based, the animation moves too quickly to track, and analysis of both the animation beforehand and the rapid spin at the end show that the animation has no relationship to the reward placement.
Part 5: Yojimbo summons 3 bamboo stalks twice, then 4 bamboo stalks thrice.

Rewards

Part 1: MGP 1,000 MGP
Part 2: MGP 1,000 MGP per pile
Part 3: MGP 2,000 MGP
Part 4: Doubles current winnings / Nothing / Failure
Part 5: MGP 2,000 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 MGP 12,000 by dodging all bamboo, collecting 2 piles of gold and getting the pile of gold reward from the cup phase.
