Cash Gate	comment	A Cash Gate is a character or other obstacle that makes you collect a certain (very large) amount of Global Currency before you can move on with the story. This can include paying some sort of fee, or purchasing an item that is needed for progression. The point of such assignment is to make sidequesting and exploration your main quest for a while. The difference between 20 Bear Asses, Fetch Quest and this trope is that you only get bear asses from a certain source (e.g. slain bears), while money can be raised through any number of activities, giving you a much greater degree of freedom and diversity in gameplay. Additionally, having that much money at one time may put you into the dilemma of whether to advance the plot or to buy that Infinity -1 Sword lying on the shelf... and then spend many more hours raising the money all over again. Upon completing the quest, your money may or may not be lost forever. Compare Fame Gate, Beef Gate, and You Require More Vespene Gas. Subtrope of NPC Roadblock.

Cash Gate / int_10d303a2	comment	The Ginza area of Shin Megami Tensei IV features a section ruled by the Ring of Gaea that believes money is a form of power, restricting access to the spawning grounds of the most valuable Shop Fodder of the game and the shops stocking the best weapons and armor. To unlock them, you have to seek Hunters willing to sell you their access cards, and each is keenly aware of how much their cards are worth. In total, 155,000 Macca are required to purchase the necessary cards... after which the game will slap you with the obscene prices of every one of the stores.

Cash Gate / int_10ddd3d5	comment	The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess: You need to purchase the Slingshot in Ordon Village in order to progress through the first part of the game. After you restore light to Lanayru, you will regain control of Link in Lake Hylia. The only way out of the lake at this point is to pay Fyer so that his cannon can blast you back to Hyrule Field. It only costs ten Rupees though. The first time Fyer sends you to Gerudo Desert is free of change; any future trips will cost you ten Rupees. Should you warp out of Gerudo Desert before first accessing a portal there, the only way back will require you to pay Fyer. Played straight with getting to the City in the Sky. You must pay Fyer 300 Rupees so that he will fix the Sky Cannon, which is your only means of getting there.

You can get past this day by earning as little as 50 Munny; there's also a maximum cap of 1850, and earning that much immediately moves the plot forward. However, no matter how much Roxas earns, it all gets taken away at the end (though it's given to Sora later on).

Between chapters in Tales of Xillia 2, Ludger will need to pay off a part of his massive 20 million gald debt before the story will progress. It mostly serves as a way of encouraging you to complete some of the game's many sidequests, as they provide plenty of money.

If you haven't collected enough gears, Granny will tell you she can't let you pass as you haven't collected enough gears for the Time Regulator to send you to your next location. Technically the Aztec Era also has one, as it doesn't open up until after you collect the ten gears needed to complete the tutorial in Granwich. Additionally, many mini-games throughout the game require a payment of carrots for the player to participate.

Getting to talk to these NPCs in first place requires the player character to hatch from their egg. One of the golden orbs — which may or may not be necessary to access the final dungeon — is bought from a shopkeeper in SkyTown for a hefty sum of crystals; this does not require the protagonist to hatch first.

However, the master trainer doesn't take the gold from you, she just wants you to have it to prove yourself worthy as a student. To advance in the Thieves' Guild questline, you must earn money though thefts (i.e. case an NPC or house, rob them and sell their stuff to the guild's fence). As with the mercantile example above, this is just to prove yourself and they don't take any money from you.

Cash Gate / int_455ede40	comment	Super Paper Mario: In Chapter 1-1, Bestovius will only bestow the much-needed Flip ability unto Mario if you agree to pay him 10,000 coins. Since this is near the beginning of the game, when you'll likely have next to no coins on you (as well as the fact that you cannot possibly hold more than 999 coins), Bestovius will instead lower his price to every coin in your pocket. If you hold out on this second offer, Bestovius will give Mario the Flip ability for free instead. In Chapter 2-3, you need to make 1,000,000 rubees by working in a generator room after breaking one of Mimi's vases. In actuality, this merely involves raising around 1000 rubees to get access to the more lucrative work room, and then to buy the password to the vault which contains the remaining cash for 10,000 rubees. And the password is always the same regardless of which copy you play, so if you know it, you can always skip the whole sequence. In Chapter 4-2, youâ€™re required to purchase a clue to work out how to advance to the next area. Even if you already know the clue, you still need the scroll itâ€™s written on so that your next party member can use it for toilet paper, which also frees up the restroom for Squirps, your sidetracked alien guide. Like with Bestovius, you can and must barter the price down to make it more affordable.

He gets the larger scarab bags while going through the plot normally. The game also features Bribe Claws, bad guy dinosaurs who will let you pass only if you pay them enough scarabs. However, there are only two in the entire game, you only have to pay them once, and you can completely avoid paying the second one thanks to a nearby rocket boost. You must also pay a fee to open the gate in Light Foot Village that leads to Cape Claw. The required amount is 60 scarabs, which can only be afforded after the first wallet upgrade (in turn, this requires having retrieved the second Krazoa Spirit to the Krazoa Palace).

To slice open the entrance to the Sith Base and advance the main quest, you need to purchase T3-M4, an advanced utility droid, for 2000 credits.

Cash Gate / int_5908ee91	comment	Skyrim: Several of the quests in Skyrim can only progress if you fork over a considerable sum of money. Sold the scroll to Urag at the end of the main quest? Gotta pay up almost 50% more than what he gave you to get it back for Dawnguard.note If you are Arch-Mage, however, you can insist that he sell it back for the same amount. Want the title of Thane? Gotta buy some property (usually starting in the thousands). The side quest ones will likely hinder you for the majority of the game, but once you've reached a high enough level, flawless gems and dragon bones will pave your way, since they sell for thousands and are very common at higher levels. In the Dragonborn add-on, the quest "Unearthed" is essentially a series of funding the excavation of a Nordic crypt. Finance the dig, kill the Draugr that the miners have disturbed, and repeat about 3 or 4 times, with each required sum of gold being somewhat more costly than the last. If the player wishes to become Thane of The Rift, Eastmarch, Haafinger, or The Reach, they must buy the property for sale in the capital of said hold — not so bad in the case of The Riftnote Honeyside, available for 5000 Septims, a bit challenging in the cases of The Reachnote Vlindrel Hall, available for 8000 Septims and Eastmarchnote Hjerim, available for 9000 Septims, but very hard for Haafingernote Proudspire Manor, available for 25000 Septims, the most expensive house in the base game.

The reasons given range from passable note Homer needs to buy a bigger truck in order to run Smithers off the road to stop him from alerting Mr. Burns. to downright ridiculous. note Lisa needs a disguise in order to investigate a criminal with Chief Wiggum... who continues to wear his police uniform and drive a squad car in the following mission anyway.

But whenever Conker gives away the money, some seconds later the money literally returns to him, so he ultimately manages to pass through the Cash Gates for free.

In order, Marco requires Spyro to save 10 dragons, Gosnold wants Spyro to have found 1,200 gems, Tuco requires Spyro to rescue 5 dragon eggs from thieves, Cray wants Spyro to have freed 50 dragons, and Amos needs Spyro to have found 6,000 gems — only the final Ballonist, Hak, who can take Spyro from the last world to any of the previous worlds, has no fee, since he simply lets Spyro backtrack to complete his collection.

In the Phineas path, in order to get a Navkey to Stellar Bay, the main city of Monarch you have to pay her 10,000 bits. She'll give you a few missions that can let you scrounge up the money to do so but unless you pass a 100 Persuasion check you'll still have to cough up the money. Alternatively you can still go to Monarch but by default you'll land near an enemy-infested area and have to trek your way to Stellar Bay. In the Board path you'll have to pay her 8,000 for Udom Bedford's Board Seal. While this is relatively optional since the opportunity to work for the Board can come later it's one way of getting an early pass to Byzantium (typically only accessible in the second half of the game).

The gate is partially artificial, as there's no way to gather all the ducats before the game expects you to have them, as Kao gets two 1,000-ducat awards naturally (one from winning a boat race and another as treasure from a temple); you just need to have 1,000 of the remaining ducats in the game to move on from there.

Cash Gate / int_74f7210c	comment	The Legend of Zelda: The Legend of Zelda requires you to purchase food/bait (60 Rupees at the cheapest) and arrows (80 rupees) from the merchant. These items are needed to advance in dungeons. In, The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past, you have to pay 10 rupees to the monkey to accompany you (as long as you don't get hit) and another 100 to open the first Dark World dungeon's door. You also need to collect at least 500 rupees before that to be able to buy Zora's Flippers. You also need 100 to buy a super bomb to blow up a wall that contains the Silver Arrows. The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening requires you to buy the bow for 980 rupees. Or you can steal it, if you don't mind never being able to return to the shop and the subsequent scarcity of arrows and bombs, lest you be killed if you try to enter the shop again, after which you're called "Thief" by the entire cast of characters permanently. The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time: You must buy your first shield, and having one is mandatory. Mido refuses to let you see the Great Deku Tree (and, by proxy, the first dungeon) until you have both a sword and a shield — while you find the sword in a chest, you have to buy the shield at the store. The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask: The Gibdos in the Ikana Well require a multitude of different items before they will let you pass them. While most of the items they ask for are normal pickup that can be found throughout the overworld, one Gibdo requires for you to give him five Magic Beans (or one, in the 3DS remake), which must be bought. When you reach the end of the Well you'll reach the Ancient Castle of Ikana, which eventually requires you to use a Powder Keg; while you do get a free one that you can use to enter Romani Ranch, you must purchase another Powder Keg in order to break a ceiling and use the incoming light to unlock the path to the last Mini-Boss. The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker: You may not proceed to the final dungeon until you have paid a combined total of 3184 rupees to Tingle for him to decipher the charts showing where to find the sunken Triforce pieces. The HD remake considerably lessens that amount, as there are fewer charts to decipher. The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess: You need to purchase the Slingshot in Ordon Village in order to progress through the first part of the game. After you restore light to Lanayru, you will regain control of Link in Lake Hylia. The only way out of the lake at this point is to pay Fyer so that his cannon can blast you back to Hyrule Field. It only costs ten Rupees though. The first time Fyer sends you to Gerudo Desert is free of change; any future trips will cost you ten Rupees. Should you warp out of Gerudo Desert before first accessing a portal there, the only way back will require you to pay Fyer. Played straight with getting to the City in the Sky. You must pay Fyer 300 Rupees so that he will fix the Sky Cannon, which is your only means of getting there. The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds: Most of Link's items, which are necessary for beating dungeons and traversing the overworld, must be purchased from Ravio. If you're confident in your ability to not die at any point in the game, you can simply rent the items instead for lower prices, though you trade-off the ability to upgrade them in the process. The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild: In order to get into Gerudo Town, Link must be Disguised in Drag using Gerudo garb. Link can only get this outfit by paying 600 rupees to Vilia.

Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door During the Chain of Deals you go through in Chapter 7, Goldbob will only give you permission to use the cannon in Fahr Outpost if you agree to give him every last coin in your pocket, regardless of how much money you actually have. Once you pay Goldbob, he will admit that he was just bluffing about needing your money and return it, while still giving you his permission. The first time you attempt to cross over to the western side of Rogueport, you will inevitably step on and break a contact lens belonging to Zess T., who in turn will block your path until you buy her a new one. The lens only costs 10 coins at the shop next door. Super Paper Mario: In Chapter 1-1, Bestovius will only bestow the much-needed Flip ability unto Mario if you agree to pay him 10,000 coins. Since this is near the beginning of the game, when you'll likely have next to no coins on you (as well as the fact that you cannot possibly hold more than 999 coins), Bestovius will instead lower his price to every coin in your pocket. If you hold out on this second offer, Bestovius will give Mario the Flip ability for free instead. In Chapter 2-3, you need to make 1,000,000 rubees by working in a generator room after breaking one of Mimi's vases. In actuality, this merely involves raising around 1000 rubees to get access to the more lucrative work room, and then to buy the password to the vault which contains the remaining cash for 10,000 rubees. And the password is always the same regardless of which copy you play, so if you know it, you can always skip the whole sequence. In Chapter 4-2, youâ€™re required to purchase a clue to work out how to advance to the next area. Even if you already know the clue, you still need the scroll itâ€™s written on so that your next party member can use it for toilet paper, which also frees up the restroom for Squirps, your sidetracked alien guide. Like with Bestovius, you can and must barter the price down to make it more affordable.

The only way to get a drink is to purchase one from a vending machine in Celadon City. Fortunately, these drinks are fairly cheap. The remakes avert this by instead making you bring the guards some tea, a key item that you get for free.note This is to prevent Sequence Breaking, since it is possible to trade over a PokÃ©mon that is holding a vending machine drink from another file before reaching Celadon. In the Safari Zone is HM03 (Surf), as well as the gold teeth, which you can give to the warden in exchange for HM04 (Strength). Both of these HMs are needed to beat the game. Whenever you enter the Safari Zone, you need to pay an entrance fee. While the fee to get in is a paltry 500 pokedollars, in Red and Blue it's entirely possible for a particularly financially irresponsible player to prevent themselves from progressing in the game by using up all their money, throwing away all their sellable items and defeating every possible trainer, which will exhaust every method of making money. While this is a scenario that someone would almost certainly have do to themselves deliberately, it was partially fixed in Yellow, where a player with no money will be allowed to enter after talking to the receptionist several times, albeit with only a single Safari Ball.

In the DLC Torna the Golden Country, one Community Member is the Noppon Halfsage. In order to get him to join, you need to defeat four Golden Monsters.

Thankfully, Random Drops during the chapter are really, really good, helping a lot. Additionally, you need 35000 gp to open the store (though you can get 25000 by selling a statue), and you need 60000 gp to build the tunnel. There's a person that will buy a certain set of weapons/armors for 60000 gp. And your store that you open lets you get more than double the normal amount of gp by selling items, meaning that you'll be scrambling to come up with something to buy with the excess cash (items from Chapters 1-4 carry over into Chapter 5, but cash doesn't).

In the case of Great House Telvanni, you have to provide two filled Grand Soul Gems to initiate construction.note The Telvanni don't so much "build" as they grow you a Mushroom Mage Tower using the power of the souls. Empty Grand Soul Gems aren't all that expensive, but no vendors have restocking supplies in the vanilla game. (The Tribunal expansion adds one.) A few vendors do sell already filled grand soul gems...which cost in the range of 60,000 gold. Oblivion: In order to get master level training in mercantile, you have to have 10,000 gold on your person. However, the master trainer doesn't take the gold from you, she just wants you to have it to prove yourself worthy as a student. To advance in the Thieves' Guild questline, you must earn money though thefts (i.e. case an NPC or house, rob them and sell their stuff to the guild's fence). As with the mercantile example above, this is just to prove yourself and they don't take any money from you. Skyrim: Several of the quests in Skyrim can only progress if you fork over a considerable sum of money. Sold the scroll to Urag at the end of the main quest? Gotta pay up almost 50% more than what he gave you to get it back for Dawnguard.note If you are Arch-Mage, however, you can insist that he sell it back for the same amount. Want the title of Thane? Gotta buy some property (usually starting in the thousands). The side quest ones will likely hinder you for the majority of the game, but once you've reached a high enough level, flawless gems and dragon bones will pave your way, since they sell for thousands and are very common at higher levels. In the Dragonborn add-on, the quest "Unearthed" is essentially a series of funding the excavation of a Nordic crypt. Finance the dig, kill the Draugr that the miners have disturbed, and repeat about 3 or 4 times, with each required sum of gold being somewhat more costly than the last. If the player wishes to become Thane of The Rift, Eastmarch, Haafinger, or The Reach, they must buy the property for sale in the capital of said hold — not so bad in the case of The Riftnote Honeyside, available for 5000 Septims, a bit challenging in the cases of The Reachnote Vlindrel Hall, available for 8000 Septims and Eastmarchnote Hjerim, available for 9000 Septims, but very hard for Haafingernote Proudspire Manor, available for 25000 Septims, the most expensive house in the base game.

Both are done at the same time, and cost 100,000 gold for the upgrades and base. Fortunately, the dungeon you previously completed yields a valuable doubloon of a legendary pirate that sells for 20,000 gold, and the monsters in the skies around the home base act as miniature Money Spiders.

To help with this, at this point you have the option to open your own shop and, fortunately, Karl Marx DOESN'T hate your guts! Final Fantasy VII requires at least two trips to the Gold Saucer, and you have to pony up 3000 gil for admission each time. It's possible to buy a lifetime pass for 30,000 gil as well, which lets you come back as many times as you want without paying admission ever again. In Final Fantasy VIII, you need 3000 gil to ride the train to Timber and another 3000 to get to Deling City. Why SeeD doesn't spring this fee for you, considering it's a very high-profile mission, we're not sure. In Final Fantasy XII, you have to pay an NPC in Archades and then do an obligatory and somewhat boring quest for them to progress with the story.

Cash Gate / int_e9169644	comment	The Toy department in Stage 4 of Illbleed requires you to have a set amount of cash with you to enter. It's probably to make sure the player cleans out the villain's hidden vault, since it's difficult to proceed if you haven't gotten that money and impossible not to proceed once you have.

Cash Gate / int_eab90aec	comment	Yakuza has a sequence in Chapter 7 where you need 100,000 yen to get into a gambling house. This is not a game where money is hard to acquire, though; a player who goes through most of the sidequests up to that point should have funds in the low millions. You also get it back not long after, following the usual plot progression for Like a Dragon.

Cash Gate / int_ec02633a	comment	Traveling to the Skellige Isles in The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt costs 1,000 crowns. A new player won't have this kind of extra money for a while, and by the time you're able to afford the fee, you're the right level for Skellige anyway (and likely in the correct place in the narrative as well). Upon reaching Skellige, it's even possible to get your money back by finding the corpse of the ship captain you paid near the shores where you crashed.

Cash Gate / int_ee384546	comment	Cyberpunk 2077: After the end of your starting quest you have to pay 21,000 eddies to Viktor Vektor, your ripperdoc friend (explained as the debt that V owes him for the Kiroshis, the Ballistic Coprocessor and possibly their other upgrades, especially if you took the Corpo path) before you can access the rest of the cyberware that he offers. In Act 2, you have to pony up 15,000 eurodollars for Rogue, Queen of Fixers, to track down Anders Hellman, whose knowledge is needed to advance the main plot. By that point in the game, however, that sum should be relatively quick to procure. Earlier in Act 1, you also have to pay off your debt to your ripperdoc Victor (â‚¬$21,000), but doing so has no real advantages except for unlocking Vic's cyberware store and no impact on later story events.

Cash Gate / int_efcd8723	comment	In Ultimate Custom Night, four animatronics (Rockstar Freddy, Circus Baby, Nightmare Bonnie, and Nightmare Mangle) require FazCoins, which you can gain by searching the cameras or blocking animatronics from getting into the office, to be placated. Fail to do so, and you get jumpscared. However, there are alternative methods for getting past them, which are risky but often necessary (especially if you're playing 50/20 Mode). Rockstar Freddy will occasionally demand 5 coins, and he can either be paid or forced to malfunction by using the heater, which will make him think he's been paid (but the heater will agitate other animatronics). The other three will stop their attacks if you buy their plushies, or — since they share the same attack pattern — you can stunlock them by keeping the correct camera on at all times (but beware that other animatronics need camera attention too, so unless you're playing on really high difficulty it's probably best to just buy the plushies).

There's another path into the area, but it's both out of the way and requires you to complete the City of Tears and pick up the Ground Pound ability.

In the first game, the seemingly useless "horse armor" isn't just a Take That! to the infamous Oblivion DLC, but it's also necessary to avoid getting the bad ending, since it prevents your horse from dying while Taking the Bullet for you, enabling it to kill the villain.

It mostly serves as a way of encouraging you to complete some of the game's many sidequests, as they provide plenty of money.
