These guys again. The Protorelic in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth’s Grasslands region has fallen into the hands of Beckās Badasses, who make a reappearance from Final Fantasy 7 Remake. Getting it back is a chore. Hereās how to do it.
Phenomenon Intel 1: Wild Bandit Chase
The Grasslands Protorelic quest starts in the very northeast of the Grasslands at a rather hard-to-miss lighthouse. Once you climb it, youāll run into Beckās Badasses. Theyāll, uh, act like jackasses for a while. Afterward, Beck will run off, and youāll be left to fight Butch, Burke, and Burt.
Thatās it. Win the fight, and youāll get nothing. Thatās not true, youāll get the next destination. Off you go!
Phenomenon Intel 2: One Badass Barbecue
I hate to tell you this, but the second part of this bandit chase is a forced stealth section. Itās not very hard, unless you had a lot of trouble with sneaking up on Piko the Chocobo. The mechanics are the same here. You wait until the thugs arenāt looking in your direction, then move to the next bit of cover you find.
Once you confront the group, Beck will again make his escape with the Protorelic. Iām sure you see where this is going.
Phenomenon Intel 3: Diversionary Tactics
The third part of this journey isnāt so different from the first. However, before the fight, they’ll play a game with you where you need to choose what thug is holding the Protorelic. It’s pretty obvious, as you can see a sparkle behind the back of the person holding it. Even if you’re correct, you’re going into combat.
After your fight, youāre going to need to saddle up on your Chocobo and go sniffing for where they buried the key to their base. Thereās a mound of dirt and a shovel in the corner of the warehouse, but thatās not where itās buried. Youāll actually find it outside.
Leave the warehouse on your Chocobo, press up to sniff to find the location of the key, then walk to the spot and press down to dig it up.
Phenomenon Intel 4: Taking Care of Business
Time for the showdown. When you arrive at the base, the Badasses are playing dead. You wake them up by throwing a switch on the side wall of the shed.
The bad news is that you wonāt just be fighting Beckās Badasses here. They have a Sweeper to protect them. If you played Final Fantasy 7 Remake, you fought plenty of these things. It can be pressured with lightning magic.
Once youāve beaten the Badasses, theyāll claim that itās time theyāre planning to go straight and become legitimate businessmen. Before then, however, youāll finally be able to claim the Protorelic.
