Follow our comprehensive guide to complete the Trouble in Paradise side quest in Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, including how to craft Legendary Bait and defeat the Sea Devils.
Walkthrough
- 1To begin the Trouble in Paradise quest, ensure you have completed the side quests Lifeline in Peril (available since Chapter 2) and The Hardest Sell (available since Chapter 4).
- 2Travel to Costa del Sol and find Mayor Kapono inside the Bar del Sol. He will give you the quest, asking you to check on a mercenary named Kyrie.
- 3Head to the beach in Costa del Sol and locate Kyrie at a stand on the far side. She will task you with dealing with a fiend problem and provide you with a transmuter chip for Legendary Bait.
- 4To craft the Legendary Bait, you will need five Pearl Ginger Roots, five Ether Onions, a Jabberwock Horn, and a Great Malboro Tendril. Pearl Ginger Roots and Ether Onions are common items.
- 5The Great Malboro Tendril is a drop from the Great Malboro, the Classified Intel fiend for the Gongaga Region. You'll need to find four of the six Expedition Intel in Gongaga to unlock its location. The Great Malboro is in the lower-left corner of the Gongaga Region.
- 6The Jabberwock Horn is a drop from the Jabberwock, the Classified Intel fiend for the Cosmo Canyon Region. You'll need to find all six Expedition Intel in Cosmo Canyon to unlock its location. The Jabberwock is found towards the south-southwest of the region.
- 7Once you have all the ingredients, use your transmuter to craft the Legendary Bait.
- 8Return to the beach outside Costa del Sol in the Corel Region, near where you fought Fiend Intel 1: Hit the Squids.
- 9Open the previously locked door on the eastern side of this area to access an off-limits beach.
- 10Use the Legendary Bait on the wreckage to spawn Sea Devils.
- 11Defeat the Sea Devils.
- 12Return to Kyrie for a scene, then report back to Mayor Kapono to complete the quest.
Tips
- Sea Devils are weak to ice attacks. Lightning attacks can reduce their attack frequency.
- While they attack often, Sea Devils are not particularly challenging. Their only named attack is a grab, which should be avoided.
- Use ice magic like Blizzara to pressure the Sea Devils, making it easier to stagger them.
- If you have completed all other side quests in the Corel Region, completing this quest will unlock the Sand and Circuses trophy.
- Secrets of the Ninja Vol. VI manuscript (for Yuffie)
- Affection with Yuffie
- Party/Character EXP
- Potential unlock of the Sand and Circuses trophy if all other Corel side quests are done.
