Exploring Northern Corel: Chapter 7

Your guide to exploring Northern Corel in Final Fantasy VII Rebirth! Learn about Chocobo access, available quests like Rendezvous in Costa del Sol, and World Intel.

Alright, let's dive into Northern Corel for Chapter 7 in Final Fantasy VII Rebirth! This area is split into two parts, Northern and Southern Corel, but you'll only be able to use your trusty Chocobo in the northern section for now. Don't sweat it though, you'll get another mode of transport later for the southern desert.

First things first, how do you get that Chocobo? It's pretty straightforward. After you finish up in Costa del Sol, you'll see a stable right near the exit. The NPC there runs a shop and sells a permit for just 300 Gil. Grab that, and you'll be able to call your Chocobo anytime in Northern Corel. If you're trying to pinch every Gil, though, there's a free way! Just complete the 'Rendezvous in Costa del Sol' quest, and you'll snag one without spending a thing.

Quests in Northern Corel

There are three Quests available in Northern Corel right now, but you can only fully complete two of them in Chapter 7. The third one, 'The Saga of the Seaside Inn,' has a part you can do now, but you'll need to wait until Chapter 9 to finish it up. The other two, 'Rendezvous in Costa del Sol' and 'Bodybuilders in a Bind,' are totally doable as soon as you get access to the area.

Quest	Reward
Rendezvous in Costa del Sol	Art of Swordplay Vol. II
The Saga of the Seaside Inn	Johnny’s Treasure Trove, Card 134 J-Squad
Bodybuilders in a Bind	Sit-Up Minigame

Just to reiterate, 'Rendezvous in Costa del Sol' and 'Bodybuilders in a Bind' are the two you can knock out right now in Chapter 7.

World Intel in Northern Corel

Like every other region, Corel has its own World Intel to discover. Since you're only in Northern Corel at this point, you won't be able to tackle everything. Here's a breakdown of what you can find and how many of each:

World Intel	Number
Divine Intel	1
Activation Intel	2
Expedition Intel	2
Fiend Intel	2
Excavation Intel	1

You won't be able to mess with the Protorelic stuff in Chapter 7, so don't worry about that. The single Excavation Intel you'll find is actually tied to Johnny's side quest, so keep an eye out for that!

To Mt. Corel

Your main story objective for this chapter is Mt. Corel. You'll find the entrance on the west side of the Costa del Sol area. Once you leave Costa del Sol, call up your Chocobo and just follow the main road heading west. Stick to the northern path as you go, and you'll eventually reach the base of Mt. Corel. Looks like the lift is busted, so it's time to hit the trail on foot!
