The Expedition Intel found all over the overworld of FF7 Rebirth provides you with more intel that activation towers can’t. As you go on to discover each of these lifespring crystals, you’ll learn new planetary wisdom about each region. You’ll also make some new discoveries that wouldn’t have been uncovered otherwise. You can check out all of the other intel locations across different regions in our complete guide to Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth.
All FF7 Rebirth Expedition Locations
The Expedition Intel you find in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth provides you with two things: Region Intel and Discoveries. The Region Intel tells you more about the region you are in as you scan more lifespring crystals. You’ll also get intel on where to excavate for transmutable items and where tp find the region’s boss.
Grasslands
In the Grasslands, there are six lifespring crystals that you can find. Two of these lifespring crystals can be located in the grassier section while the other two can be found in the wasteland area. Upon scanning them all in, you can learn the following information:
