The final protorelic site in the Grasslands in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth (FF7 Rebirth) will prompt players to pay 2,000 gil to a group of bandits. Read on to find out if you need to pay 2,000 gil, what happens if you don't, and how to get 2,000 gil.

Should You Pay 2,000 Gil?

Yes, You Should

In order to acquire the final protorelic of the Grasslands region, you must first acquire 2,000 gil and hand it over. Should you be short on funds or refuse to pay, the protorelic will remain unclaimed.

Even after refusing, you will not be able to fight the bandits. The only option is to pay up.

Protorelic Site Location

Northern Grasslands

After acquiring all three protorelics, the fourth and final protorelic site will be marked on your map by Chadley. It is located to the north of the Grasslands.

How to Get 2,000 Gil

Sell Unused Items and Gear

Selling items is the fastest way of acquiring gil as you won't have to look far and wide, and you won't have to fight hordes of enemies.

Should you have any materials, equipment, or Materia that you no longer need, sell them to shops. Not only will you gain money, but you'll also declutter your inventory in the process.

Farm for Gil Through Battles

Another effective way of farming gil is by engaging in fights and emerging victorious. Simply optimize and build your teammates properly, and engage in as many fights as you can until you reach 2,000 Gil.

Open Chests and Dig for Treasure

Chests and Shinra boxes sometimes contain gil. Should you spot these in the wild, be sure to open and shatter them, respectively.

Alternatively, should your Chocobo pick up the scent of something buried, follow it and dig it up. Sometimes, Chocobos will unearth gil instead of items and materials.
