THE Quest No Sign in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth will have you running and sliding through Cosmo Canyon. Your task: obtain accurate photographs for Planetary Assembly scholars.

As with most optional side quests in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, this one can only be unlocked after completing a significant portion of that region’s main story. However, once you unlock it, you will be able to put your exploration skills and Chocobo abilities to good use.

Without further ado, we are here to show you how to complete the No Sign quest in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth.

How to start no connection in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth

To start the No Sign quest in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, you you must have completed the story mission “Uninvited Guests” in Cosmo Canyon Chapter 10.

After completing this story quest and returning to the colony, use one of Bugenhagen’s helpers to quickly travel to the Planetary Assembly.

When here, talk to Caesar near the telescope on the balcony to start the quest.

He will ask you to go to three different locations around Cosmo Canyon to take photos that match the ones he gave you in his notes. You ideally, you should have photographs with 80 percent accuracy but Ceasar will take any photo if you have trouble.

The hardest part of this photo is getting to its location, so let’s tackle that first. You can find the area you need to head to marked on the map below:

However, to access this area you must have your Cosmo Canyon Chocobo and head to gliding stand #6 which is southeast of your target location.

Once on it, jump and glide to the wooden landing pad directly in front of you.

Once you land, follow the path here to the right until you reach the Gliding Range No.7 launch area. Here, jump and glide again to the wooden landing pad directly in front of you, this time using the fans to keep your Chocobo in the air.

Once you land, look to the right. You should see some small wooden steps leading up to a rock.

Go up these steps and jump onto the rock. You should then see a wooden path around the outside of the interior rock formation, follow it to reach the Gliding Range No.13 launch area.

Here again, glide up to the landing pad in front of you using the fans to keep your Chocobo in the air. Once you pass through the gap, you should find that the launch area for Gliding Range No.14 is on your left. Use it to slide to the next area opposite the launch pad.

When you land, follow the path here, past the first launch pad on your right and past the Blustercave Lifespring (You can do this if you want.) Continue following this path upwards until you arrive at the launch pad for Gliding Range. No. 16.

Here you should be able to see a Remnawave Tower in front of you. This is where you want to go. So, once again, use the fans to slide towards this area.

When you get to this area, make sure you are at ground level. Now, from Remnawave Tower, follow the ground level path to the right (check your map to make sure you’re heading towards the location of the celestial phenomena). You’ll encounter enemies, but you can use your Chocobo to zoom right in front of them.

Eventually you will come to the base of a very tall rock formation in front of an anvil in the ruins. To your right you should see a slight ramp made of rocks and a fan.

All you have to do is use this fan to propel your Chocobo into the air and you will land in the right place!

Of course, enemies await you. Specifically, a Skeeskee and a big Reapertail. The Skeeskee is more of a nuisance than a threat, but we strongly suggest taking it out first so you can then focus your energy on the Reapertail.

Use ice attacks of any kind on the Reapertail to put pressure on him.. We recommend using a mix of spells and abilities with this elemental effect as much as possible to increase pressure. You could possibly stagger it and then hit him with Cloud’s Punisher Mode attacks to really hurt him.

Once you’ve defeated the Reapertail and the Skeeskee, you can start looking for the perfect angle for your shot. To save you time, we’ve found that the best place to go is to stand near a small twig bush near the entrance to the area, facing northwest. You should end up with a small piece of cactus directly in front of you, at the edge of the area. like in the image below:

The picture you are trying to match from your notes is number two. You can press left on your directional pad at any time to check your positioning.

When you’re ready, press your directional pad to bring out the camera. You may need to zoom in and move slightly to get the right angle. You’ll know how close you are by watching the accuracy percentage at the bottom of the screen:

Once you are happy with your accuracy and photography, confirm that you want to use it and you will have found the celestial phenomenon: Moogle.

When you pull out your camera to take your second photo in this quest, you’ll have the opportunity to take a photo of Aerith – you just need to make sure you time it right!

To get 100% accuracy when taking a photo of Aerith, wait until the scope turns green to take the photo. This happens when Aerith begins to make a wish while looking at the constellation you’re facing.

Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth No Sign Photograph Location Two

To get to the second photography location, head to Gliding Range No.4 and follow the path southwest past the Regional Phenomena, Expedition Intel, and Fiend Intel locations. These are all located in ruins, so keep following the dirt path and you’ll eventually come to a large platform where the Reapertail is hard to miss.

If you’re not sure you’re going in the right direction, the dirt road should take you past some tall columns:

Like you did before, take out the enemies in this area and then you can start finding the right position for that shot.

We found that the easiest place to stand is slightly southwest of where Aerith is. Plant Cloud directly in front of another twig bush here. The photo you are trying to match is number three in your notes.

Press up on your directional pad to raise your camera and point the viewfinder so that it is above the bridge and aligned with the end of the larger rock formation jutting out to the left. You may need to zoom in a bit to get the right percentage accuracy:

Align the scope with the location of ours to get over 80% accuracy.

When you are satisfied with this photo and confirm that you want to use it, you will have found the celestial phenomenon: Bahamut.

There is one photo left!

Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth No sign Photography location three

Your final target location is near the Cosmo Canyon airstrip:

To reach this area, return to the Cosmo Canyon Air Strip via fast travel. As soon as you appear, look to your left and you should see a path up here against the cliff wall.

Follow this path and it will take you straight to the final area. Again, there’s a Reapertail here – but you’ve already taken out two of them, so you know what you’re doing!

Once you’ve beaten this Reapertail, move Cloud into the area so that his head and the hilt of his sword are both slightly below the star at the bottom left of the constellation, like in the image below :

From there, take out your camera and aim it so that the center is just above the end of the tilted rock formation, like in the image below. Again, you may have to play around with your zoom a bit to get the percentage above 80.

After taking the photo, you will have found the celestial phenomenon: Chocobo.
