Exploring Final Fantasy 7: Unveiling the Secrets of the Coastal Retreat Quest

The Saga of the Seaside Inn is a lengthy side quest in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, becoming available at the start of Chapter 7. Players must obtain a Tonberry King's Crown to complete it, which can only be done by visiting a specific area in the Corel Desert.

In Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, players will need to wait until Chapter 9 to fully explore the Corel Desert. Although they can begin The Saga of the Seaside Inn in Chapter 7, two more chapters of the main story must be completed before finishing it. Despite the time and effort required, the side quest offers valuable rewards and interesting content.

How to Start The Saga of the Seaside Inn

Players can start The Saga of the Seaside Inn quest by checking the Costa del Sol Community Noticeboard in Chapter 7. After accepting the task, players should talk to Johnny, who mentions that some of Yuffie's clones are helping him fix up the hotel. However, a group of them went missing while gathering supplies in the Corel Region. Cloud and the party are asked to go search for them.

Players will encounter the first group of Johnnys at Costa Falls. They will share that they were attacked by fiends and had to escape via the ziplines, accidentally dropping the Refurbishment Materials they were carrying. To complete this part of the side quest, players just need to head to the ziplines nearby and retrieve the materials from the platforms at the top. For assistance in locating all eight ziplines in the Corel Region, refer to the images in the gallery above. Once the materials are secured, players can return to the Johnnys, who will then mention another group of clones at a nearby Republican-era factory.

Boiler Valve Transmuter Chip Location

Players arriving at the factory will discover that the Johnnys require a Boiler Valve. However, to create one, they will need a special transmuter chip, which they may or may not possess. To locate the Boiler Valve Transmuter Chip, players must have scanned the first two Corel Region Lifesprings, unlocking the Excavation Intel 1: Valve Factory Ruins World Intel objective. With this completed, players can utilize their Chocobo to unearth not only the Boiler Valve Transmuter Chip but also several others. To transmute the Boiler Valve, players will require two pieces of Iron Ore, two pieces of Zinc Ore, and two pieces of Amethyst, all of which can be found nearby if players do not already possess them.

When players hand over the Boiler Valve, they will be told about another Johnny heading towards the desert. If players head west to the quest marker, they will find the Johnny near the water. He will then ask players to steal a Tonberry King's Crown, which requires a trip to the Corel Desert. However, players may need to wait a bit before completing this task, as they can only access the Corel Desert in Chapter 9 of Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth. So, those who haven't finished the Dustbowl / Gold Saucer part of the game will have to wait before they can continue this quest.

Tonberry King Location (All Corel Region Lifesprings)

To steal the Tonberry King's Crown in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, players must first scan all the Lifesprings in the Corel Region, including those in the desert. This will unlock the Classified Intel: Heavy Lies the Crown World Intel objective located east of the Corel Desert. To summon the Tonberry King, players need to hold the Triangle button, similar to luring out Quetzalcoatl in the Grasslands side quest. It is recommended to equip a Steal Materia orb and prepare for a challenging battle before engaging the Tonberry King.

Defeating the Tonberry King can reward players with a Marred Crown, but they have a chance to obtain a Pristine Crown instead, which is considered the better outcome. To acquire the Tonberry King's Pristine Crown, players must evade one of its attacks and then unleash a flurry of damage to put pressure on it. Since the Tonberry King has no specific weaknesses, any attack, spell, or ability can be used. When the Tonberry King is pressured, its crown will fall off, and players should swiftly use Steal on the crown (not the Tonberry King) to add the coveted Pristine Crown to their collection.

After stealing the Tonberry King's Crown, players can fast travel back to Johnny at The Borderland and give him the Pristine Crown. Then, they should head back to the real Johnny at the hotel to receive their rewards. If they managed to find all the Refurbishment Materials and took the Pristine Crown instead of the damaged one, they will get Queen's Blood Card 134 (J-Squad), 10 Party EXP, 800 EXP, and a better relationship with Yuffie. Additionally, they will unlock Johnny's collection, where they can showcase the various artifacts they discover during their adventures, essential for acquiring the final piece of the Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth piano sheet music.
