Welcome back? Or first time? This is my straight to the point, NO BS Walkthrough for Chapter 2 of FF7 Rebirth. Here, you will expect:

  • Only important notes. If a segment is blank, means there's nothing relevant to say.

  • Important of "missable" items will be noted to the best of my ability.
  • Time saving or important reminders that are pretty impactful.
  • No useless pictures I'll only add really important ones if any.

Chapter 2 Walkthrough: Pre-notes

There will be a points where you will be tempted to explore, but don't yet. I note down very boldly these points. Fight the urge!

Why? There are systems you need to unlock to make exploration "worthwhile". Trust me on this. Exploring and going ham before you unlock these is gonna be SAD.

I have a separate guide for side-content completion!

Searching for Friends

Queensblood is unlocked! Card game of the heavens! You can buy more cards at the Item Vendor, you'll need 1000 gil for the two booster packs. Buy them ASAP if you're interested in QB.

Maghnata Books

Armed and Dangerous

You're introduced to the Weapon Upgrade system here, and the Folio system. Basically...

  • Weapon Upgrades: You don't actually upgrade anything yourself. Weapons level up as you do (not at the same speed). Levels typically give more stats, materia slots and links, and "passive skills". You can choose which passive skills to stick on your weapon. Each weapon has a unique progression of these.
  • Folio: Is basically each character Passive Skill Tree. This expands as your party level, and weapon level increase.

    • A Date with Aerith

    Fugitives

    Fleeing the Scene

    Help from a Local

    Up and Over

    Down and Out

    On our Way

    The OPEN WORLD BEGINS! But...

    Mahiko San Note: DO NOT EXPLORE YET. TRUST ME PLEASE. YOU'LL REGRET IT.
    Progress a bit more, after Remnawave Towers are unlocked (World Intel) and Sidequests.

    Just keep going to the quest markers for now. Don't worry if youre "locked out" of Kalm - it opens up again after a little progress.

    Abandoned Dock

    Don't explore just yet… Go to the quest markers... Just a little more...

    Bill's Chocobo Ranch

    Shopkeeper Chloe

    Aureate Pinion Accessory in a treasure chest at the south east edge of the ranch. Gives 10 Speed, which makes ATB charge faster. This is actually a godly accessory!

    Timeless Rod (Aerith Weapon) in a treasure chest near Chloe.

    Follow the tracks to find Piko, follow the tracks and feathers on the ground. It's a short trek south of the ranch.

    Tracing the Tracks

    Chocobo Wrangling

    Circle to roll if you're gonna be discovered. Distract Chocobo's by picking up rocks and aiming with L1 - and Square to throw. Approach then catch with Triangle.

    Piko gives 2 Golden Plumes for your trouble, to spend with Chloe, which gives you cosmetic armor for your Chocobo.

    This whole Chocobo / Golden Plume system repeats in all areas later on.

    Home on the Range

    Downtime

    Bringing the World to Life

    You unlock some major systems here. Good 'ol Chadley (I don't blame you if you forgot about him). World Intel, as well as the Combat Simulator!

    But, still, hold off on exploration still. You've yet to unlock sidequests.

    Practice

    Break in the Saddle

    Get Rank 1 in the Chocobo Race Track to get Crescent Moon Charm.

    Through the Swamplands

    Odd Jobs “Sidequests” are now unlocked. Kalm is also “calm” now, so you can go back. Chloe is your first customer!

    Mahiko San Note: Okay, NOW YOU CAN EXPLORE! But go a little bit further...
    'Cause there's a Barret Weapon nearby.

    High Caliber Rifle (Barret Weapon) in a Treasure Chest in the swamp. It's on the Northeastern tip of the inner “island”. Very near the Robed guy you spot in the swamp. OK, Now you can explore!

    Boss: Midgarsormr

    Progressing further gets you to Chapter 3, but don't worry - you can still easily turn back.

    Chapter 2 Walkthrough: Closing notes

    That's about it for FF7 Rebirth's Chapter 2 Walkthrough! GL on Grasslands completion! Chadley says alot since it's your first time... Trust me, it gets better!
