Welcome to NGB and our FF7 Rebirth Where the Wind Blows side quest guide! Here we’ll cover everything you need to know to complete this quest.
Starting the Where the Wind Blows Side Quest
Interact with the Community Noticeboard in Kalm and accept the Where the Wind Blows side quest.
Where the Wind Blows Objectives
Broden’s Request
Make your way over to the Inn in Kalm and speak with Broden inside to hear the details of the request. You’ll find him sitting on a couch by the stairs.
Speak with Mildred
To find Mildred, head to the Windmill Settlement north of Oliver’s Farm then speak with her.
Procure the Transmuter Chip
In order to find the Transmuter Chip, you’ll need to complete two Lifesprings. Once you’re done, a new marker will appear on the map. Make your way over to the Excavation Intel 1: Bygone Settlement and use your chocobo to sniff out the scent of 3 objects. Once of these objects will be the Transmuter Chip.
Procure Materials
To craft the windmill gear, you must procure the following parts:
- 1 Quetzalcoatl Talon
- 2 Chunks of Iron Ore
- 1 Chunk of Lea Titanium
- 5 Beast Bones
For the Iron Ore and Lea Titanium, you can either find them on the ground or they are dropped from Orcs.
Beast Bones are rare drops from Levrikon and Toxirats which can be found throughout the Grasslands. They are a regular item drop and stealable from Elphadunk.
To get the location of the Quetzalcoatl, you’ll need to have completed a total of 4 Lifesprings. When you’re able, travel to Classified Intel: Winged Lacertilian of Yore.
Upon your arrival, you’ll need to hold down triangle to engage the Level 22 Quetzalcoatl. This creature is weak to ice so be sure to have Shiva on someone! Defeat the Quetzalcoatl to receive a Quetzalcoatl Talon.
Deliver the Windmill Gear
Return to the Windmill Settlement then go into your inventory and use the Item Transmuter to craft the Key Item: Windmill Gear. Speak with Mildred to hand over the gear! Before you leave, make sure to grab the green orb (aka Cleansing Materia) that dropped from when the windmill turned.
Report to Broden
Return to the Inn in Kalm and speak with Broden to complete the Where the Wind Blows side quest. As a reward, you’ll receive a Whistlewind Scarf.
