Welcome to NGB and our FF7 Rebirth Grasslands Region World Intel Guide! Here we’ll cover all the world intel for the Grasslands in FF7 Rebirth, including Remnawave Towers, Combat Assignments, Summon Crystals, Lifesprings, Protorelic, etc. The FF7 Rebirth Grasslands region consists of a town called Kalm and the surrounding areas! In Kalm, you’ll be able to increase your bonds of friendship with party members via dialog options and play against Queen’s Blood opponents to earn cards. Keep in mind that you can also purchase Queen’s Blood cards from venders in the Grasslands. For a guide on where to purchase these cards, click here!

Grasslands Region
Before exploring the Grasslands in Chapter 2, we recommend pushing forward with the story until you finish up at Bill’s Ranch and unlocked your Chocobo. This will make traveling MUCH easier, plus you’ll unlock the Remnawave Towers, Combat Assignments, Summon Crystals, Lifesprings and Protorelic which are all scattered around the Grasslands!

Protorelic
The Protorelic can be obtained after completing the questline! This questline in the Grasslands consists of four separate intel locations that unlock as you do each one.
Phenomenon Intel 1: Coastal Lookout
To get inside the Coastal Lookout, you’ll need to crouch under a hole in the fence. Once inside, scale the wall to the left of the locked door to reach the roof. Once on the roof you’ll encounter some bandits!! After getting nowhere with the conversation, you’ll engage in battle with them. Defeat the decoys then Chadley will reveal where to go next!
Phenomenon Intel 2: Pipeline Management Facility
You’ll receive this intel after completing the Phenomenon Intel 1: Coastal Lookout. Head to the western part of the Grasslands south of Kalm to find the Pipeline Management Facility. Once you arrive, approach the shipping containers to receive a tutorial on how to sneak. Sneak your way into the main building near where Beck and the other goons are grouped around a fire. Next, you’ll need to head outside the building and jump up the metal column to reach an upper level.
Afterwards, climb up the ladder to reach the roof then slide down the pole to engage with the bandits. The others will make their escape with the treasure and leave the decoys behind as bait.
Defeat him in battle to receive your next heading from Chadley.
Phenomenon Intel 3: Abandoned Republic Factory
When you reach this area, enter the building on the north side via the garage doors. You’ll then encounter the gang again! During the cutscene, you’ll have to select who has the treasure. Burke is the correct answer!! Afterwards, you’ll need to defeat the bandits then hop on your chocobo and pick up the scent in the corner by the dumpster.
Follow the trail to unearth the key at the end.
Phenomenon Intel 4: The Hideout
To reach the Hideout, you’ll need to travel to the Kalm Air-Raid Shelter then head north along a cliff. This will bring you to a locked gate. Use the key you previously received to open this gate then follow the path to reach the Hideout. Crouch under the garage door to find Beck’s Badass Bandits playing dead. If you look above them, you’ll notice a yellow crate above them. Look for the switch next to the garage doors to drop this crate on them!
You can try talking it out, however, it will of course end with violence. Take out the bandits. At the end, you can pay them 2,000 Gil for the treasure so the bandits can attempt a fresh start. As a reward, you’ll receive Beck’s Protorelic.
Chocobo Stops
The Chocobo Stops are convenient fast travel locations! To fix a stop, interact with the sign to pick it up! By fixing a Chocobo Stop, you’ll receive a Golden Plume, which you can trade to Chloe at Bill’s Ranch for Chocobo armor. Please note, you cannot fix the Chocobo Stop until you’ve received your own at Bill’s Ranch.
Excavation Intel
The Excavation Intel will appear on your world map after you’ve completed a couple of Lifesprings. Every 2 Lifesprings will give you a new Excavation Intel.
Excavation Intel 1: Bygone Settlement
The Excavation Intel 1: Bygone Settlement will unlock after completing 2 Lifesprings. For this intel, you’ll need to use your chocobo to dig up 3 relics.
