Starting Location: Can’t Stop Won’t Stop (Ultimate Party Animal’s Request)
You can accept the Odd Job from the Community Noticeboard in Costa del Sol, or you can go directly to the quest giver at the entrance of Gold Saucer. It’s only available after finishing all other 35 side quests in the game, this will be the final quest.
Party Hard with the Shinra Middle Manager
You will need to beat the Manager’s high score in multiple different minigames within Gold Saucer. You can do these in any order you choose.
Beat the UPA’s High Score at the Chocobo Races
Now head to Chocobo Square and challenge him again.
Use whichever chocobo and attire that you want, I used Piko with the Hyperion attire. This is a one-on-one race and shouldn’t be difficult at all if you’ve done chocobo races already.
Beat the UPA’s High Score in Galactic Saviors
Now head to Speed Square and challenge him again. This will be the Expert mission of Galactic Saviors and you need to beat a score of 50,000.
Use Proton Bombs ( ) to defeat the tougher enemies, and heal with a Restorative Charge ( ) whenever your health is low. The score isn’t hard to beat as long as you abuse proton bombs to defeat most enemies. As long as you survive the whole mission you should be able to get 50,000 pretty easily.
Beat the UPA’s High Score at the Musclehead Colosseum
Head to Battle Square and challenge the Middle Manager.
You will have to complete the UPA Challenge: Send in the Clowns, which is a 5-round bout. For the first round you will be against some Gigantaurs. For the second round you will face 10 Tonberries and you have to be extra careful here due to their instakill attacks, so having at least one ranged character and Revive on multiple characters is wise. In the third round you will face an entirely new enemy, Ember Zu. Exploit its weakness to Ice either with Elemental-Ice in your weapons, or with Yuffie’s Ice Ninjutsu. The fourth round will be against a Gigantoad and two Jokers. The final round will be against an Ironclad.
Beat the UPA’s High Score in G-Bike
Now head to Wonderment Square and challenge him again. This will be the Expert course of G-Bike and you need to beat a score of 32,000.
Your points are based entirely on how many standard and elite units you defeat, as well as the blue point panels that you collect. Try and kill everything you see and save your spin attack for when there’s groups of bikes around you, and make sure to pick up all the blue point panels both for points and to heal yourself.
Beat the UPA’s High Score in Queen’s Blood
While you’re at Wonderment Square, challenge him at Queen’s Blood. This is a regular Queen’s Blood match, the only difference is that the Ultimate Party Animal card will be in play in the middle of the arena which will add the loser’s score in a lane to the winner’s score. If you’ve been doing all Queen’s Blood so far, you’ll have absolutely no difficulty winning this.
Throw Down with the Shinra Middle Manager
Finally, head back to Wonderment Square and challenge him to 3D Brawler.
This will be harder than all previous 3D Brawler fights as he will have all three attacks on both sides so you will need to learn to recognize the attacks and dodge them accordingly. To make it easier you can pause when he pulls his arm back to give you time to recognize which attack it is. By pausing on each move it will be easier. You must hit him after he starts glowing blue (every 3-4 hits he misses), or when he starts burning red and misses 4 strikes in a row.

Marty says
For the battle against the 10 tonberries just equip the safety bit on the characters. Then the Tonberries cant kill you with insta death.
[aem`kyu] says
(Enhanced) Karmic Cowl is a much better choice for accessory.
Gackt says
Anyone has a problem with the G-Bike goal ?
I did 35 000 and the quest won’t update, it wants me to do it again and again, I’m still at 3/5 (Colosseum, chocobo and Galactic Saviors).
Any idea to solve the problem ?
Stephen Hellums says
I’ve beaten his g-bike score about 5 times now and it’s not advancing the quest
dave says
well, my strategy was aerith using chocoking’s cape plus first strike and atb boost materia, so for most fight especially tonberries pretty much one hit magnified firaga should do them.
City says
Quest is bugged at Beat the UPA’s High Score in G-Bike in V1.02. Even if you beat the high score of 32,000, the quest won’t continue.
Hamza Adenwala says
The Quest if bugged. I did the following
– Galatic
– Muscle Head
– Chocobo
– G-Bike: Have 33000 score on expert and standard as well but the cut scene after finishing it does not pop up and instead it shows Quest marker in Green color.
anybody else. I am on new Patch.
Mat says
Delete game
Reinstall disk
Don’t download patch
Worked for me even mid quest
Resident Space Hill says
Can confirm deleting and reinstalling the game without the patch works. SE have at least said the bug will be fixed in the next patch.
City says
I have the same issue. I’ve gotten over 32,000 at least 4 or 5 times.
From reading across the web, this is a common issue and it seems to have come with the 1.02 version update.
Nik says
Quest is bugged beat 32000 a few times and it doesn’t advance the quest, I’m on the latest version/update of game on PS5 as of writing this.
Yamamoto says
THE BUG HAS BEEN FIXED!
I can confirm that with version 1.030.000 the bug has been eliminated and the quest is doable again.
I did the quest from the start and I could finish it. Right after, the trophy for doing all sidequests popped! (As this quest was the last one I had to do)
Primeezy says
I didn’t get this quest yet, but I currently have completed expert on G-Bike and Galactic Survivors and got more than the rank III high score during Chapter 12. For G-Bike, I have over 33000. For Galactic, I just got over 51000. After the 1.03 update, will my scores count automatically or will I have to do it again??
