TEMPORARY NO-SAVE

So I'm making this minigame where you fight these 3 high leveled monsters in these catacombs, and once you defeat them, there is a chest at the end which offers a random item with a possibility in receiving a rare weapon.
The problem is that, any player could save in the chest area right before collecting their coffers and just reload their previous game over and over until they receive the rare weapon.
Is there any way that I could make this location a temporary "No-save" area, so that when in the catacombs, a player cannot save his progress until he has collected his loot and is out of the tombs?
Thank you.

Yes, use the provided help file to find out more about eventing. There is an event that disables the save menu temporarily. I don't know what the name of the event command is, but that's because you didn't mentioned the RPG Maker you're using.
In 2k and 2k3, you can disable/enable saving in a map's properties. Right click on your map in the lower left space and check the appropriate box.
In VX and Ace, you can do it using an event command (System Configuration > Change Save Access). Just disable Saving when you enter the area, and enable it when you leave.
You could also enable save access in the event that gives you the chest's item.

I should have mentioned that this game is made through RPG Maker XP. Does that make things different?
No difference, you can still disable saving in XP. It's just an event command. I'd tell you specifically where to find it but I'm not at home.
