If you’re thinking about whether the side quests are worth your time, I will say yes.

In Livestock’s Bane quest, you need to help out a rancher named Oliver. This poor guy’s livestock is being terrorized by a mysterious creature, and he needs your help to track it down.

This guide walks you through how to complete Livestock’s Bane quest in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth.
Final Fantasy 7 (FF7) Rebirth Livestock’s Bane Walkthrough
The mission begins at Oliver’s Ranch, where our protagonist Cloud, and his companion Red XIII learn from the innocent farmer that a beast is attacking his farm and creating a lot of trouble around this area and he needs your help to fight this creature. Oliver is distraught, and it’s up to you to solve this mystery; if you say yes to help, the quest will trigger right away.
Track Scent with Chocobo
First, Red XIII will jump over the barn and try to track the scent but his nose isn’t strong enough to completely smell it, so you’ll need to rely on Chocobo’s scenting ability. By pressing Left on the D-Pad, your companion will sniff and pick up the trail, and then you need to follow the golden scent trail through the Grasslands.
Defeat the White Terror
Following the trail leads your party to the coast, where you will encounter the White Terror – a formidable white wolf with no elemental weaknesses. This battle tests your strategic abilities, as you need to deplete its energy by continually attacking or blocking its moves. Once its energy is drained, it becomes staggered, allowing you to deliver a powerful blow to finish the fight.
Livestock’s Bane Quest Rewards
Once you have killed the White Terror, return to Oliver, who rewards Red XIII with some delicious mutton and the whole party with XP and an Owl Bracer. This quest not only gives you a taste of victory but also strengthens your bond with Red XIII and sets us up for the next quest, “Where the Wind Blows.”
