How to find the Pirate King’s treasure in Final Fantasy VII Rebirth

Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth features a ridiculous amount of side content, most of which wasn’t present in the original game. Much of this comes in the form of new mini-games and side quests, but there are also a few interesting discoveries for players to delve into. One such discovery becomes available in Chapter 12 and revolves around the Pirate King’s treasure.

By finding all four pieces of the Pirate King’s treasure, Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth Players can craft a special accessory called Corsair’s Compass, which can be incredibly useful both in and out of combat. However, determining the exact location of each Pirate King’s Grotto can be a bit difficult, as can defeating the powerful fiends that protect the treasure.

How to start the Pirate King’s treasure hunt in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth

Players can begin searching for the Pirate King’s treasure once they reach Chapter 12 Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth. However, before they can do this, they must first open the glowing purple chest at the Costa del Sol harbor, which will trigger a cutscene explaining the premise of the quest. In short, however, players must use the map in the chest to find all four fragments of Corsair’s treasure, each of which is guarded by a cruel fiend.

To find the Pirate King’s treasure, players will need to navigate the Meridian Ocean in the Tiny Bronco and visit the special docks at the locations marked on Corsair’s map. Three of these locations are on the western continent, the other is further east. Players can visit the Pirate King’s Grottoes in any order, but should prepare for a challenging battle upon arrival.

The Pirate King’s Grotto α is located south of Gongaga Harbor. Players can also reach it by traveling south from the port on the Costa del Sol. Before they can seize the Pirate King’s treasure there, the players must defeat the ogre robber who guards it.

The Ogre Raider is weak against this Ice Attacks and sufficiently exploiting this weakness will eventually put it under pressure. Players should try to do this as quickly as possible, as the longer the fight lasts, the stronger the Ogre Raider becomes.

How to find the second piece of the Pirate King’s Treasure (Pirate King’s Grotto β)

Players can find the Pirate King’s Grotto β by traveling south from Under Junon Harbor. The treasure is located at the foot of the lighthouse that players visit in the “Hardest Sell” side quest. Upon arriving at the dock, players must take on the Brineborn Dragon, who guards the Pirate King’s treasure.

The Brineborn demon is weak against it Fire Attacks. As with the Ogre Raider before it, players should try to take down the fiend as quickly as possible as it will cast Graviga after a while. Players can prevent this by staggering the Brineborn Demon while in its counter stance. However, if possible, it is better to take him out before he has a chance to change stance. The good news is that the fiend automatically comes under pressure when he switches to the counter stance, which makes staggering much easier.

How to find the third piece of the Pirate King’s Treasure (Pirate King’s Grotto γ)

The Pirate King γ’s Grotto can be found by heading northeast from the Costa del Sol port. Players should look for a narrow bay between the main continent to their left and the large island to their right, then look left. The third piece of the Pirate King’s treasure is guarded by a powerful fiend named Hueyacoatl.

The Hueyacoatl is weak against it wind attacks, so players should prepare accordingly before approaching the fiend. To pressure it, players must attack it while it is in its charged state. However, this causes it to release a crippling bolt of lightning. With this in mind, players should be ready to dodge immediately after the attack.

How to find the fourth piece of the Pirate King’s Treasure (Pirate King’s Grotto δ)

The Pirate King’s Grotto δ is located northeast of the Pirate King’s Grotto γ near the northern tip of another large island. To get to the Pirate King’s hidden treasure, players must destroy a Sea Dragon.

The sea dragon is weak against it lightning Attacks. In fact, using lightning attacks is the only way to fill the stagger meter. Therefore, players may want to combine a ball of lightning materia with a ball of elemental materia in their primary attacker’s weapon. It’s also a good idea to give someone a bullet of Poison Materia, as poisoning the Sea Dragon during its Galvanizing Flames attack will not only extinguish its flames, but also put pressure on it.

How to get Corsair’s Compass in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth

After collecting all four pieces of the Pirate King’s Treasure, players will be able to craft the Corsair’s Compass, which they can do via the Accessories tab in the Item Transmuter menu. While equipped, Corsair’s Compass will briefly divide the ATB meter into three sections after players use five different command types in combat. However, its main purpose is much more useful.

After crafting the Corsair’s Compass, players will occasionally see a golden arrow above the Tiny Bronco as they sail it around the Meridian Ocean. Following this arrow will take you to bright purple crates containing pieces of it Pirate Jetsam. These rare crafting materials are required for advanced accessory upgrades, making them extremely useful for players. It’s worth noting that players can still find Pirate Jetsam even without a Corsair Compass, but owning the Pirate King’s Treasure makes obtaining it much easier. Players should also keep in mind that they don’t actually need to equip the Corsair’s Compass for the golden arrow to appear while sailing around in the Tiny Bronco.
