If players attempt to enter the Crow's Nest before unlocking it, they'll be turned away by a man at the gate. This is unfortunate, as one of the Divine Sanctuaries needed to fully upgrade the Phoenix Materia is locked away in this area. The good news is that players can unlock the Crow's Nest fairly easily, though doing so will require quite a bit of main story progression.

To unlock the Crow's Nest, players will need to complete the When Words Won't Do side quest, which becomes available on the Under Junon bulletin board after players have met up with Yuffie for the first time. To complete the quest, they'll simply need to escort a dog to the Crow's Nest, dealing with any monsters that they run into along the way. It's a fairly long journey, but aside from the last group of monsters, players shouldn't have too much trouble arriving in one piece.

What's Inside The Crow's Nest?

In addition to the aforementioned Divine Sanctuary, the Crow's Nest and the area beyond it are home to numerous points of interest, as well as a few new Queen's Blood matches. Unlocking the Crow's Nest also grants access to a few new side quests, allowing players to earn some quick Gil if they need to. Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth players hoping to fully complete the Junon Region will therefore have to visit the Crow's Nest at some point before finishing Chapter 4.
