Fools Paradise: Setting out for the beach
You must go to Cloud's room to use the stand and then go downstairs and leave the hotel to go into the open world of Costa del Sol. A cutscene will soon trigger, requiring Cloud to get into the proper attire for the Costa del Sol region. To do this, you will require companion cards, which can be obtained from numerous events around the area.
You can head to Pirate's Rampage, where Barret can be found. He has the same ticket as Cloud, which means companion cards can be obtained. There will be a minigame here, where you will need to get 10000 points or more to get the companion card and 15000 for a Materia. Once you use the companion card to get into a more appropriate outfit, head to the beach to trigger the next cutscene.

Next, you must fight more creatures you last encountered in the previous chapter, and a large boss will appear as your next mighty foe.
Fools Paradise: Dealing with Grasptropod
This large beast is called Grasptropod, and it is weak to Lightning. It can use attacks like Pulse Blaster, where it will attack with two of its tendrils and then fire electric bolts at you. You can run and dodge or tank the damage, as it will be minor. There will also be an attack called Drill Run, where the Grasptropod will charge at you in a straight line with its tendrils. You can dodge this by moving to either side when it begins the charging animation
Next up, there is an attack called Tentadrill, where the monster will raise its tendrils and continuously stab you in a top-down manner. To dodge this, stay fully clear and away from the Grasptropod. In another attack called Laser Saber, it will fire laser blades which will be followed up by two tendrils spinning numerous times. To avoid taking damage, it is recommended that you keep blocking throughout this whole attack phase.
There is an AOE attack where the Grasptropod will cover itself with a toxic gas cloud called Sublimated Toxin. This is easy to avoid by maintaining a good distance between the boss and yourself. Players must be careful of one particular attack called Subject Retrieval. Here, the boss can fire a projectile, which, upon hitting a party member, will remove them from the lobby for the rest of the fight. Yuffie will come and assist here and promises she will help take down this monster.
As you slowly take its health down to 25%, the Grasptropod will get augmented and get a few new attacks like Breakneck Spin, which resembles Laser Saber, where blocking is still your best bet. There is also a new attack called Disarming Ammo, where the boss takes its tendrils up in the air and shoots projectiles straight down that can explode. Avoid these by staying mobile.
After defeating the Gastropod, you will notice many cloaked figures being approached on the backs of several Johnnys, all captured by projectiles shot by Grasptropod. Yuffie then finally helps decimate the monster and end the fight.
Fools Paradise: Beach time with Yuffie
After the cutscene, improve relationships with the characters, and you can return to your hotel. You will find Barret upstairs. You can go ahead and tell him that you are ready to go. After this, a cutscene will be triggered, after which you will encounter Yuffie, and she will eventually become a member of your party. This brings chapter six, Fools Paradise in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, to an end.
