During Chapter 6 of Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, players will need to complete a series of odd jobs and mini-games in order to get their hands on Companion Cards for Cloud, Aerith, and Tifa. Each of these mini-games rewards players with one card, which can then be traded in for a swimsuit at the Beachware Exchange. One of the tasks is called Cactuar Caper and requires players to find and photograph the four pink Cactuars that are scattered around Costa del Sol.

As they approach the end of Chapter 6, Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth players will need to decide whether to tell Yuffie to Beat It or Bring it.

Although Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth players are given a map showing every Cactuar's location, it doesn't line up with the in-game mini-map particularly well. Even when they do eventually find themselves in the right areas, they'll not only need to pinpoint the exact location of the Cactuars, but also make sure that they're standing in the correct position and have their camera's zoom set at the range indicated on the hand-drawn map.

Costa del Sol Cactuar Locations in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth

The map above will help players to find every hidden Cactuar in Costa del Sol. At each Cactuar location, players will be able to find a few different Cactuars, but only the pink ones will count towards the photo competition. In addition to finding the hidden Cactuars, players will also need to make sure that the zoom on their camera is set to the percentage shown on their map, so finding the right position to take the photo from is key. There is a little bit of leeway given here, but players will need to be in the right ballpark for the photograph to count. After successfully photographing all four Cactuars, they can return to the studio employee and claim a Companion Card for Aerith.

When players reach an area with a Cactuar in it a camera icon will appear at the top of their screen and the Shinra Executive will show up. Upon pinpointing the exact location of the Cactuar, players should pull out their camera by pressing up on the D-Pad and then set the zoom using L1 and R1. Once they've lined up the shot so that the reticule turns green, they can take a picture of the Cactuar by pressing the R2 button.

Costa del Sol Cactuar Location #1 (10% Zoom)

Players can find the first Cactuar on some rocks just south of the Run Wild stadium.

Costa del Sol Cactuar Location #2 (30% Zoom)

The second Costa del Sol Cactuar can be found on a red fire hydrant in the Ferry Dock area.

Costa del Sol Cactuar Location #3 (70% Zoom)

To find the third Cactuar location, players will need to head to the end of the wooden pier closest to the photo studio. The Cactuar is on a concrete tetrapod sticking out of the nearby ocean.

Costa del Sol Cactuar Location #4 (40% Zoom)

Players can find the final Cactuar on the purple Surf & Suntan sign that marks the entrance to Costa del Sol's beach.
