== Midgar ==
Manipulations from Midgar to the Chocobo Ranch or to Kalm will have to contend with entering the Zolom Box partway through he traversal.

=== to Chocobo Ranch ===
Due to the Zolom Box, it is more difficult but still feasible to manipulate a 0-encounter traversal from Midgar all the way to the Chocobo Ranch.

==== Slots / No Slots ====
High-level runs on PlayStation in categories that do not perform [[Guard Skip]] will typically reach this point with an IGT between around 1:29 to 1:35.

==== All Bosses / 100% ====

=== to Kalm ===
A 0-encounter traversal manipulation to Kalm can be performed by moving right from Midgar and up-right to Kalm.

The difficulty with this manipulation is that exactly when switching from right to up-right can affect how many frames it takes to reach the western edge of the Zolom box, meaning RNG could progress differently afterwards. It isn't difficult to find solutions that work for many different positions, but a smaller set of positions for this allows for more IGTs that work. More IGTs can be generated by allowing menu buffers towards the beginning of the traversal.
