How to wrangle Belle in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth

Your first task in the Stuck in a Rut quest involves wrangling a Chocobo named Belle. To locate her, visit the area marked on the map that Gabe mentioned. Here, you will find Belle among several skittish Chocobos.

To capture her, you must sneak past the other Chocobos without startling them. A detailed guide is available to walk you through the steps needed to successfully wrangle the Junon Chocobo Belle.

Once you have Belle, you can proceed directly to the Wainwright’s Hut.

How to get to the Wainwright’s Hut in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth

The Wainwright’s Hut is located at a specific point on the map. You will need to utilize Belle’s special ability to reach it.

Go to the area marked on the map and look for a large flat wall with arrows pointing upwards. Walk your Chocobo towards this wall, and they will initiate climbing it automatically. Continue this until you reach the top.

Follow these steps to reach the Wainwright’s Hut:

1. Climb the first wall with your Chocobo.
2. At the top, climb the second wall in front of you.
3. Then, head to the right and climb the next wall.
4. Continue climbing the wall directly in front of you.
5. Finally, follow the path around to the right at the top to reach the Wainwright’s Hut.

How to find the Wainwright’s Materials in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth

After a somewhat frustrating conversation with the Wainwright, you will need to gather three pieces of Driftwood for him. Although it’s possible to complete the quest with only one or two pieces, it’s advisable to collect all three for a complete quest experience.

The Wainwright will provide you with a map that gives vague hints on where each material can be found, but here are the locations for all of the Wainwright’s Materials:

All the materials can be located in the area between the Wainwright’s Hut, the entrance to Under Junon, and Gabe’s Chocobo Ranch.

When you arrive at one of the marked locations, ensure you are riding your Chocobo. Look for a red question mark to appear above their head, indicating you are in the right spot.

Once it appears, instruct your Chocobo to sniff the air to determine the direction of the Driftwood piece. Follow their indication and use them to dig when they signal the exact location.

After collecting all three pieces, return to the Wainwright’s Hut to hand them over. He will then craft the necessary parts, allowing you to bring them back to Gabe and conclude this quest.
