Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth poses a real challenge even for seasoned players. Regardless of the chosen difficulty level, there's a high chance you'll have to replay boss battles multiple times. One of the most challenging moments comes during the 'Where the Wind Blows' quest, where players encounter a formidable boss in the Grasslands.
In this quest, players must assist Mildred in crafting the Windmill Gear, for which they need to gather several crucial items. They'll require two pieces of Iron Ore, one piece of Lea Titanium, five Beast Bones, and a Quetzalcoatl Talon. While the first three components are easily found, obtaining the Quetzalcoatl Talon presents a separate challenge. In this guide, we'll detail exactly where players can find the Quetzalcoatl Talon in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth.
Location of the Quetzalcoatl Talon
To obtain the Quetzalcoatl Talon, players need to find and defeat the Quetzalcoatl in battle, which belongs to the category of Classified Recon Battles. After completing four life sources in the Grasslands, the Quetzalcoatl's location will automatically appear on the map.
The next step is to move to the Quetzalcoatl's location and engage it in battle. It's important to remember that the Quetzalcoatl is a powerful opponent, and defeating it won't be an easy task, especially if your character is not at a sufficient level. Upon reaching the battle area, hold down the Triangle button to initiate the fight.
The Quetzalcoatl is vulnerable to ice magic, so use ice spells and materials to defeat it. Be sure to avoid the Quetzalcoatl's attacks as they can nullify a significant portion of your health almost instantly. Try to use the 'Blizzard' spell as often as possible to build pressure and confuse the Quetzalcoatl.
When it is staggered, the beast takes much more damage, so use Synergistic Abilities, Summons, and Limits. After using all of your powerful attacks, the Quetzalcoatl should be defeated, and it will drop the Quetzalcoatl Talon.
Players can fight the Quetzalcoatl multiple times in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth.
Using the Quetzalcoatl Talon
As mentioned earlier, the Quetzalcoatl Talon is necessary to complete the 'Where the Wind Blows' quest. Thus, after defeating the Quetzalcoatl, you can create the Windmill Gear and deliver it to Mildred. This will complete the 'Where the Wind Blows' quest.
