Look for Johnny in Johnny's inn. It's revealed that some of his clones from Yuffie's previous trick didn't go away and are now helping Johnny refurbish his hotel.

However, while looking for materials, the clones have not returned. It's up to Cloud and Yuffie to look for them!

Search the Ziplines for Refurbishment Materials

The first Johnnys will be located at Costa Falls, west of Costa del Sol. Help them look for their missing materials. These materials will be located at the top of the ziplines around the area.

Refurbishment Material Locations

Ziplines will be scattered around the area. The materials will always be at the top side. How the Johnnys left them there is still a wonder.

Craftsmanship 5 Required for Boiler Valve

Once you find the transmuter chip, you need to be at Craftsmanship 5 to craft the Boiler Valve. Keep on transmuting items or accessories to increase your Craftsmanship level.

Then, craft the Boiler Valve by getting the following materials:

• Iron Ore x2
  
• Zinc Ore x2
  
• Amethyst x2

Iron Ore is easy to come by at this stage in the game. To get the last two, the Zinc Ore and Amethyst, you need to progress to Chapter 7 until you can access Mt. Corel. These materials will be abundant in this location.

How to Beat Tonberry King

Tonberry King will mostly deal instant death. Before heading to the battle, make sure your main melee damage dealer has Safety Bit equipped to negate this status. This is important as later on, he will summon Tonberries that do the exact same thing!

Deal as much damage as possible to Tonberry King. Make use of your Limit Breaks and Synergy Abilities to take down him down quickly. We recommend having Cloud or Tifa as your main melee damage dealer.

How to Beat the Tonberry King

Return to Johnny Prime

Head back to Costa del Sol and to Johnny's Inn. Talk to the original Johnny to finish the quest. He will hand you the Card 134: J-Squad for your Queen's Blood deck, which will help you complete your collection!

Pristine Crown or Marred Crown?

Get the Pristine Crown for Best Results

Pristine Crown	Marred Crown

You can get two types of Tonberry King's crowns: The Pristine Crown or the Marred Crown.

To get the Pristine Crown, one of your characters should have the Steal materia equipped. In battle, once you have dealt enough damage to Tonberry King, the crown will fall off. This will give you the opportunity to use Steal on it. However, be quick, as the Tonberry King can retrieve the crown once it gets close to it.

To get the Marred Crown, simply beat Tonberry King without using Steal. There is no difference in the rewards for later. The only difference is what crown will get displayed in Johnny's Inn later and the Pristine Crown will look much neater.
