Grasslands

FINAL FANTASY VII REBIRTH guide · Chapter 2: Exploration after Kalm

The Grasslands is the first expansive open-world region you explore in Chapter 2 after escaping the town of Kalm. Cloud and the party must track down a chocobo at Bill's Chocobo Ranch to safely cross the Swamplands and evade the Midgardsormr. Along the way, Chadley provides the party with the World Intel system to analyze the region, locate resources, and challenge combat trials.

Secrets

0/1

Titan Summon Crystal Sanctuaries: There are three hidden summon crystals across the Grasslands that you can synchronize with by completing a button-timing mini-game, which weakens the Titan boss fight in Chadley's combat simulator and boosts the summon's rank.

Enemies

Mandragora

Weak to Fire

Swarms in groups and can inflict negative status effects like Sleep and Poison.

Weak to Ice

Small burrowing creatures that flee quickly and utilize ranged earth-based attacks.

Levrikon

Weak to Fire, Ice

Large bird that charges forward aggressively; damaging it heavily during specific attacks will pressure it.

Thunderclaw

Weak to Ice

Fast beast that uses lightning-infused strikes; parrying or hitting with Ice quickly fills its stagger bar.

Midgardsormr

Weak to Fire

Chapter 2 boss encountered at the edge of the Swamplands; can swallow party members and covers the battlefield in burning terrain during its final phase.

Shops and people

Bill's Chocobo Ranch Tack Shop: Chocobo customization equipment (cap, saddle, and greaves) in exchange for Golden Plumes
Chadley: Materia development services using region-specific Data Points gathered from World Intel

Tips

Sneak through the tall grass and throw stones behind Piko to distract him so you can mount him from behind during the stealth capture sequence.
You must ride a chocobo across the Swamplands; walking on foot will provoke the Midgardsormr into attacking you before you are ready.
Activate Remnawave Towers as soon as you spot them to reveal nearby Lifesprings, Combat Intel, and regional landmarks on your map.
