FF7 Rebirth: Tonberry King’s Crown
This guide shows where to find Tonberry King and how to steal Pristine Crown from him for The Saga of the Seaside Inn Side Quest in Chapter 7 of the Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth game.
Steal and Deliver the Tonberry King’s Crown
You get the objective to steal Tonberry King’s Crown in Chapter 7, but you won’t be able to complete it until very late in the game. To complete this objective, you need to progress in the main story until you reach Chapter 9. Once you are in Chapter 9 and have gained access to the carriage, you will be able to explore the rest of the desert and will be able to complete the objective.
Tonberry King can be found in the southeast portion of the desert at the location shown in the picture below. You won’t be able to fight Tonberry King until you have completed all 6 Excavation Intels (Lifesprings) in the region. The location of the 6 lifesprings is shown in the second and third pictures below. Once you have completed the 6 lifesprings, you will be able to fight Tonberry King at the marked location.
How to get Pristine Crown
To get a Pristine Crown from the Tonberry King, which is necessary for perfect odd job completion, equip the Steal Materia on one of your party members. Now start the fight. You will notice the crown on his head. To get it, you first need to pressure him by avoiding his attacks and inflicting damage on him. Do that enough times and the crown will drop off his head. Once the crown falls down, quickly use the steal ability on it to get it. The Tonberry King will try to get his crown back so don’t wait too long to defeat him. If you finish him off with the crown on his head, you will only get the Marred one. Once you have the crown, deliver it to Johnny in the desert.
