The "Flowers From the Hill" side quest in Final Fantasy VII Rebirth offers players an endearing early-game adventure within the sprawling Grasslands region. Initiated at Bill's Chocobo Ranch, this mission tasks Cloud and his companions with gathering specific wild blooms to help Chloe craft a colorful flower crown. Completing this odd job rewards the party with useful party experience, Aerith relationship progression, and valuable crafting materials.
Starting the Quest and Locating the Flower Plateau
To begin the quest, travel to Bill's Chocobo Ranch after unlocking chocobo riding in Chapter 2. Speak with Chloe near the shop counter, where she will ask for your assistance in gathering red, yellow, and white flowers from a nearby hill. The target location, known as Wildflower Plateau, lies northwest of Kalm across the open grassy plains.
Navigating through the Grasslands is much faster on chocoback, allowing you to bypass aggressive roaming monsters along the way. Gamers following daily gaming news often highlight how early side quests like this significantly boost party affinity and bond levels. Make sure your team is fully rested before heading out to ensure a smooth journey to the flower field.
Identifying Correct Flowers and Clearing Monsters
Upon reaching Wildflower Plateau, you will immediately encounter a group of hostile Mandragoras defending the patch. Use Fire materia or elemental abilities to quickly stagger and defeat these enemies before picking the flora. Once the area is clear, examine the surrounding flower beds carefully to match Chloe's specific instructions.
Chloe requires three distinct types of flowers: red, yellow, and white, which grow in distinct patches across the clearing. Picking incorrect flowers will not fail the quest, but selecting the exact combination yields the best outcome for the crown. Interact with each designated patch until Aerith confirms you have gathered the right blossoms.
Returning to Chloe and Quest Rewards
With all three required flowers safely in your inventory, fast travel back to Bill's Chocobo Ranch. Deliver the gathered petals to Chloe, who will express her gratitude and assemble the finished flower crown. A short narrative scene will play, deepening the connection between Cloud and Aerith as they admire the finished craft.
Completing "Flowers From the Hill" grants party experience points that aid in unlocking new folio abilities and stat upgrades. Additionally, players receive a piece of Telluric Scriptures, which provides valuable skill points for Aerith's character growth. Finishing this quest also counts toward overall region completion progress in the Grasslands.
