The wonderfully vast and mystical world of Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth is full of adventures for Cloud and his allies to embark on. One particularly important type of location is Lifesprings, as not only are they beautiful to behold, but they help uncover rare resources you will need for transmuting items. If you’re wondering where they can all be found, here is our handy guide for all Lifespring locations in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth.
What a Lifespring Is in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth & How to Find One
As you travel across the open plains of the Grasslands outside of Kalm in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, at some point you may see a sparkling red owl approach you out of nowhere, beckoning you by hooting loudly. These are called Springseeker Owls, and if you choose to follow it, this bird will lead you on a small trek that ultimately ends at a Lifespring.
Lifesprings are a marvel to behold, as not only are they incredibly beautiful and FULL of transmuting resources, but they act as potent sources of the Lifestream, which is perfect in your case for uncovering more information about the respective area. By using the tool Chadley gives you at Bill’s Chocobo Ranch, you can scan the Lifespring via a brief quick-time event, which allows Chadley to then transfer information about rare resources back to you.
If you want to complete the “Where the Wind Blows” quest given by Mildred to fix her Windmill, you’ll need to at least four of the six Lifesprings in the Grasslands area. This will also help you obtain Transmuter Chips.
All Lifespring Locations (By Region) in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth
Below we’ve listed all Lifespring locations for each different region of the world map. The further in the game you get, some of these Lifesprings will be trickier to find, so make sure to explore everywhere thoroughly, and keep your eyes peeled for those Owls who will help take you the rest of the way.
Activating the Remnawave Towers at every opportunity will help lead you to Lifespring locales as well.
