How To Get The Nicer Tonberry King’s Crown In Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth

Blaine SmithFebruary 29, 2024

There are two Tonberry King crowns, the Marred Crown and the Pristine Crown. This guide on How To Get The Nicer Tonberry King’s Crown In Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth explains how to get the Pristine Crown because, if you defeat Tonberry through pure combat alone, you will get the Marred Crown and Yuffie will mention trying for a nicer crown.

The Tonberry King is a battle you unlock after finding all 6 Lifespring locations in the Corel region. Chadley will give you a call and explain that the intel you have gathered via the Lifespring’s has revealed the location of a formidable foe. You will then see the Tonberry King location on your map. Although you can visit this location prior to this point, without the intel from Chadley, you cannot spawn the Tonberry King.

How To Get The Nicer Tonberry King’s Crown In Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth

If you just kill the Tonberry King outright, you will get the Marred Crown. If you want the nicer crown, the Pristine Crown, you must complete a specific objective during the fight. You need to Pressure the Tonberry King.

For this specific creature the Pressure trigger is to deal damage after it misses an attack. It has several ranged attacks, the instant kill attack and the falling pans attack, that are both very easy to avoid with a quick dodge. Avoid these attacks and then unleash ATB attacks and before long, you will Pressure the creature.

Once the Tonberry King becomes Pressured it will drop its crown. At this point, you need to use a character with the Steal ability and attempt to Steal the Pristine Crown on the floor. Do not target the Tonberry King with the Steal ability. The Pristine Crown becomes its own target and you must target the crown with the Steal ability.

Once you’ve stolen the Pristine Crown you can then finish the battle and return to Johnny with the item. It makes sense to give the best item but there is a difference depending on whether you choose the Marred or Pristine Crown.

Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth Side Quest FAQ

How Many Side Quests Are In Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth?

Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth introduces players to diverse regions, each brimming with its own set of side quests to uncover. Upon arrival in a new area, players are greeted with 1-3 side quests that can be unlocked, signaled by an in-game prompt displayed on the right side of the screen. Our journey has led us to complete 6 quests in the Grasslands, 7 in the Junon Region, 8 in the Corel Region, 6 in the Gongaga Region, 5 in Cosmo Canyon, and 5 in the Nibel Region, amounting to an estimated total of 40-50 side quests.

Where To Find Side Quests In Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth?

Almost all side quests in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth follow a similar pattern of accessibility. Upon visiting a region for the first time and making significant progress in the regional storyline, the Job Board is updated with fresh side quests. While NPCs offering quests through advertisements on the Job Board exist, utilizing the Job Board directly tends to be the quicker and simpler method for accessing new quests. Moreover, players can pursue quests for Chadley in each region by discovering all Lifesprings and engaging with the Protorelic storyline.

Are Side Quests Worth It In Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth?

Absolutely! In the realm of modern RPGs, a variety of side quest types are commonly employed to deepen player engagement and enrich the game world. These typically include mundane fetch quests and narrative-driven quests that introduce new characters and expand upon the game’s lore. However, in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, quests primarily consist of narrative-rich experiences that offer both fulfillment and immersion. Moreover, players have the opportunity to unlock numerous exciting rewards, including unique weapons, new Queen’s Blood Cards, and more.

How Do You Unlock All Side Quests In All Regions In FF7 Rebirth?

Although some players prefer to thoroughly complete a region before progressing, Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth’s questing system introduces constraints to this approach. While you may manage to finish all available quests within a region, unlocking all side quests during your initial visit isn’t achievable. Advancement in the main game story, specifically reaching Chapter 12 and reaching Costa Del Sol via Cid’s new vessel, triggers the availability of additional side quests across regions, allowing for comprehensive completion.
