How to unlock the Keep Your Eye on the Gold achievement in SOULCALIBUR VI - Definitive Guide
You can get this one with some good, old-fashioned Raphael spam! Select easy difficult, choose Raphael, and simply hold (or left if you somehow get turned around) and mash . That's it! I did have a couple opponents try to put up a fight, but nothing that required any skill with Raphael. Each fight should take between 10 & 15 seconds, so there's not a ton of wiggle room. If one fight takes longer than a minute, I'd suggest starting over. My longest fight was 55 seconds and I finished in 5:43 overall, so again, not a lot of wiggle room.

Actually he says "not a lot of wriggle room"

Great advice to do it with Raphael. My time was 5'03"18.
Worth noting that you have 8 stages to work through for this.
My times (just for reference from round to round):
Stage 1: 36"04
Stage 2: 31"28
Stage 3: 39"77
Stage 4: 33"24
Stage 5: 44"25
Stage 6: 39"39
Stage 7: 44:41
Stage 8: 34"80

Arcade mode (under 'Battle') is 8 rounds to 3 wins each: 24 fights in total if you win them all.
You get a gold medal for
- 6 minutes on easy / 15 seconds per fight
- 7 minutes on normal / 17.5 seconds per fight
- 8 minutes on hard / 20 seconds per fight
- 12 minutes on very hard / 30 seconds per fight
- 18 minutes on legendary / 45 seconds per fight
For most people 'easy' is your best bet, as the extra 2.5 seconds per fight you get for stepping up will disappear in just one enemy combo.
A couple of good characters and moves to use:
1. Raphael:
- + is the star because it does good damage & doesn't knock them over, so you can eat their health up ridiculously. If they let you do this, spam it.
- If they sidestep, a few basic attacks will catch them and keep their health ticking downwards
- + (forwards throw) to ring them out if you've pushed them back to the edge
2. Siegfried:
- + is great for clobbering
- + if they're stood up and circling
- + for breathing space
- The first two moves above can also ring out forwards (or poke forwards & Y)
- + will ring out backwards (i.e. when you're between them and the edge).
3. Astaroth is a ring-out god and has power as well, so is also a good shout
With any character, if they have the upper hand but you have a moment, you can knock them back and regain the initiative with + if you have a bar of soul. This will enter soul charge mode, which comes with a small flare which will knock them back a little if they're close & interrupt their move. Attack straight after!
Ring-outs are nice, but you don't have time to be fancy: take them if they're on offer (eg because there's a short stage with no wall behind your opponent), but don't waste time trying to create an opportunity when you could just hit them in the head
Play all the way through a couple of times first so you have a feel for the later rounds. Once you're confident your skills are there, go 'for real' and restart if you're not meeting the following pace:
- Round 1: 0m40
- Round 2: 1m20
- Round 3: 2m05
- Round 4: 2m50
- Round 5: 3m40
- Round 6: 4m30
- Round 7: 5m20
- Round 8: 6m
The tighter time for the first two rounds is because (1) they're easier, and (2) it's better to restart sooner rather than later. The slightly reduced time for round 8 is because if you do reach the last battle with 40 seconds to spare, you may as well give it a go!
You'll blast through these times if you get one of the small unwalled stages late on
Happy hunting

===============
I see most of people are posting strategy for very fast characters. I got stress on this one (oh you have to beat arcade as fast as possible!) and yes I had listen to others, try Raphael etc. Good tactics!
But today I had play on VERY HARD with Inferno. I did not practice, look on the move set or whatever. What I did notice is: his movesets are crazy!
Everything makes a lot of damage, easy to execute, and fast. Playing for the first time I got like 6'41' and for the the 2nd time I got like 7'53".
Here are some tips for gamers that are rather so so (or not good at fighting games).
Step #1: Unlock Inferno character (clear every story mode for charactes)
Step#2: Learn just few moves with this guy.
I show them in the begining of the video:
- +
- +
- ++
Notice that some characters will put up a fight, but no need to worry. Just try again to hit them with whatever move (forward Y,Y,Y,Y, or simple ).
Give it a try on the VERY HARD, so you can get 2 achievements in 1 play, because it is possible! (^_^)
Again - I did not train for it, no tactics, strategy, just simple "play" and using few simple moves.
Good luck with the achievements!
By the way, on VERY HARD you have to do under 12 minutes to get GOLD.

Great walkthrough and I thank you! I would like to add inferno to the equation. You get him after completing soul chronicle I believe. Just hold forward and press square. I made it in under 4min with many mistakes.

Select 'Battle' then 'Arcade' with the difficulty setting at 'Easy'.
Select Raphael as your character and whilst in the match hold Right on the D-Pad and press Y, Y, Y to perform a combo and keep doing this until your opponent is at the edge of the stage. At this point perform a grab (X+B) to ring him out.
Keep doing this until you finish all 8 stages, the clear time to attain gold is 6'00"00 and using this method you should complete in about 4'36"00.
If this is your first time completing Arcade mode, this will also unlock:
The The First Step on the Path to Greatness achievement in SOULCALIBUR VI worth 15 pointsComplete Arcade mode for the first time.

Just throw your opponents out of the arenas more often) Then you will save time. To get the trophy, you must complete the Arcade in less than 6 minutes. Don't forget to set the difficulty level to low for simplicity)

After completing the campaign <chronicle of souls> inferno will become available, I highly recommend passing it without any problems.

Easily done by Nightmare on minimum difficulty with a couple of variations of triangle spam. Opponents have almost no defense, the damage is huge and the battle takes 10 seconds. I completed it without any strain, with 1.5 minutes to spare out of 6.
