All Driftwood locations in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth

By Billy Givens March 6, 2024

As you make your way through Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, you’re sure to discover that there are a wide variety of sidequests to undertake. One of these in the Junon region tasks you with tracking down and eventually working with a Wainright. This fellow asks you to fetch him some materials to aid in a job — Driftwood to be specific — and then sends you off with a map that may or may not look a bit confusing. Don’t worry, though — you won’t need his shoddy map when you use our guide below.

All Driftwood locations

To obtain the piece of Driftwood at each spot on the map, wait until your chocobo has a question mark above its head, then hold Up on the D-pad until the location is revealed. Ride your chocobo over to the revealed location and press Down on the D-Pad to dig up the Driftwood.

There are three pieces of Driftwood you need to find if you’d like to get a 3-star rating in the quest, which is worth doing since it will earn you extra rewards. When you’re ready to track down all three pieces, you can take a look at the photos below for the exact locations.

Driftwood No. 1

The first piece of Driftwood can be found in the northernmost area of the region.

Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth: all zipline Refurbishment Material locations

Cloud rides zipline

Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth is overflowing with content, including a wide variety of side quests to undertake as you work through its 50+ hour adventure. Some of these are given to you by returning characters, such as the lovable screwup, Johnny, who has found himself entangled in a whole new mess this time around.

After finishing up some of the main story content in Costa Del Sol, Johnny will eventually task you with seeking out his clones in the Corel Region, who will grant you a quest called "The Saga of the Seaside Inn." To complete this mission at its highest tier and earn its best rewards, you'll need to round up eight Refurbishment Materials left near ziplines in the area, so check below for their locations.
Where to find all the zipline Refurbishment Materials
The two Johnnys will send you on a mission to find eight Refurbishment Materials scattered across the Corel Region near ziplines. However, it's worth noting that all these materials are found exclusively at the top of the ziplines, never at the bottom, meaning you'll need to keep an eye out above you to find them all. Luckily, we've got a map below showing you the location of each of these zipline starting points, and you can find the Refurbishment Materials in plain sight next to them.

Like the best RPGs, Final Fantasy VII Rebirth gets sidequests right

The mayor of Under Junon in Final Fantasy VII Rebirth.

Among its many highlights, Final Fantasy VII Rebirth makes simple sidequests a lot more engaging than I had expected. Take an early-game sidequest called When Words Won’t Do. On a surface level, it’s a simple escort mission where players must get a dog from Under Junon to Crow’s Nest unscathed. I did not initially have high hopes for this sidequest due to the poor reputation of escort missions; thankfully, Final Fantasy VII Rebirth defied that fate. To make this optional content more worthwhile, Square Enix gave it a strong narrative backbone.

When Words Won’t Do is actually a story about parents struggling to let go of their kids. Under Junon’s mayor sends players on this quest to help her son and unborn grandchild, and Barrett wonders if he’ll ever be able to let Marlene go during the mission. That’s thematically fitting for an escort mission where you can’t keep something out of your sight.
