While clearing through all of the tasks in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth’s Cosmo Canyon, you’ll come across the From Whence Life Flows quest on the town’s noticeboard. Bugenhagen needs some helps analysing Cosmo Canyon’s Lifespring Crystals, and he needs your help to find and protect them.

Each Lifespring Crystal in this mission is located behind a locked wooden gate, and they can only be accessed if you visit them in order. What’s worse though, is that several of the gates will be under threat from monsters. Your mission is to protect the gate from the monsters and defeat them as quickly as possible. You can only get perfect completion on this mission by protecting and scanning each Lifespring Crystal.

Just take a look below for each Lifespring Crystal you need to find, in order, to complete the From Whence Life Flows quest in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth.

The fourth crystal is located near the center of the desert and can be accessed from the Chocobo Tower, if you’ve already got fast travel points for those gliding platforms.
