The Windmill Gear inFinal Fantasy 7 Rebirthis an important item needed to, uh, fix a windmill as part ofBroden’s questin Kalm. Finding and crafting it can take time, but here’s what you need to know.

Finding the Windmill Gear recipe

Crafting the Windmill Gear

Unfortunately, finding the recipe is the first part of crafting the Windmill Gear. You need the ingredients for the recipe. For most of these, you just pick them up off of monsters and the ground throughout the normal course of gameplay. One of them isn’t. Here’s what you need.

It’s the last one that requires some work to get. I’ve got a guide that is going up that goes into depth on how to find the Quetzalcoatl and how to defeat it. However, the short version is that you need to scan the Wetlands Lifespring that is found east of the swamp. This will reveal the Quetzalcoatl’s location (you can’t fight it until you scan the Lifespring). Go there, beat it, and you’ll earn the Quetzalcoatl Talon.

As long as you’ve been picking up rocks off the ground, you’ll likely have the items you need. If not, they’re sometimes purchasable at the Chocobo vender at the ranch.

To reiterate, the Windmill Gear is used in the Broden quest. If you’ve started this already, then you can now complete it. If you haven’t, then you can find him in Kalm’s inn after you’ve completed enough quests to re-enter the town.
