Complete walkthrough for the Victim of Circumstance quest in Final Fantasy VII Rebirth. Learn where to start, how to find the Vibrodetector, track the fiend, and defeat the Gigaworm.
Walkthrough
- 1Start the Quest: This quest becomes available in Chapter 12. Ensure you have completed the quests "From Whence Life Flows" and "Promises to Keep" from Chapter 10. You can start the quest by visiting the noticeboard in Cosmo Canyon or by going directly to the quest's starting point in the Cosmo Canyon region, located northeast of Activation Intel 2: Crimson Earth Tower, near a broken-down jeep.
- 2Obtain the Vibrodetector: Zhijie will mention the fiend is underground and you'll need a Vibrodetector. If you don't have one, purchase it from the Moogle Emporium using Moogle Medals. You need to have completed at least four Moogle Mischief minigames to unlock the fourth tier of the Moogle Emporium, where the Vibrodetector is available for three Moogle Medals.
- 3Track the Fiend: Return to Zhijie's location with the Vibrodetector. Press up on the D-Pad to use it. Blue circles indicate you are heading towards the fiend, while red circles mean you are heading away. You cannot use the Vibrodetector while on a Chocobo.
- 4Fiend Location #1: Head southeast of Zhijie, south of Activation Intel 3: Dried Oasis Tower. Near a large wooden updraft device, you'll find the first fiend location. The Vibrodetector will show rapid blue circles. Cloud will stumble from the ground shaking, and you can move on.
- 5Fiend Location #2: Travel to the northern end of the Cosmo Canyon Region, northeast of Phenomenon Intel 2. This area is east of Gliding Range No. 29. You will find the fiend, a sandworm, but it will escape. You must fight two Desert Sahagins (weak to Ice) and a Stone Golem (weak to Wind).
- 6Fiend Location #3: Go northwest from Activation Intel 3: Dried Oasis Tower. Near a smaller updraft device, you'll find the final fiend location. The Gigaworm will emerge from the ground for battle.
Tips
- The Vibrodetector is crucial for tracking the fiend. Remember to dismount your Chocobo to use it.
- At the second fiend location, exploit the elemental weaknesses of the Desert Sahagins (Ice) and the Stone Golem (Wind).
- The Gigaworm has an attack called "Ingest" where it swallows rocks. Destroying its stomach during this attack will pressure it.
- If a party member is swallowed by the Gigaworm, target its stomach with Ice damage to speed up their release.
- The Gigaworm also has a Petrify attack; dodge it when necessary.
- Dodging towards the Gigaworm when it jumps out of the ground can help avoid its "Swallow" attack.
