Gil Cave is an optional location in Final Fantasy V. Existing only in Galuf's world, it connects the Kingdom of Bal to the mainland entrance of the Big Bridge.
Following a hidden path in the south of the cave finds the Gil Turtle Path, an optional area that houses a great treasure of gil, as well as the extremely powerful Gil Turtles, which are usually encountered every third step. The path may be completed multiple times for more gil.
It is possible to avoid fighting the Gil Turtle in the Pixel Remaster version by quick-saving before the first 10 gil message box, then moving up, and if no Gil Turtle appears, repeat the quick save, then move up again; if a Gil Turtle battle starts, the player can quit the game and reopen it, load the quick save file, and do the processes up until no boss spawns. Upon reaching 40,960 gil, the player can teleport back to the over world and do the trick repetitively.
