Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth has a lot of exciting side quests, and The Hardest Sell in Chapter 4 is the one that brings back a familiar face, Kyrie. If you played Remake, you already know that wherever Kyrie goes, trouble follows. This time, she’s taken it upon herself to play the role of Junon’s new “mercenary,” using Cloud’s reputation to make a quick gil. Of course, things don’t go as smoothly as she planned, and Cloud, along with his party, gets roped into cleaning up her mess again. Our FF7 Rebirth guide tells you where to find Kyrie, how to take down the enemies she has stirred up, and what rewards you’ll get by completing the quest.
How to Complete The Hardest Sell in Final Fantasy 7 (FF7) Rebirth
Before you begin this quest, you must complete the “When Words Won’t Do” side quest. Doing so unlocks the Crow’s Nest in the Junon Region, where you’ll meet Toby, the quest giver for “The Hardest Sell.” Toby will invite you into the Crow’s Nest and mention a “mercenary” causing some trouble. This merc, of course, turns out to be Kyrie.
To find Kyrie, head south from the Crow’s Nest and cross a long bridge. From there, use your Chocobo to scale the walls of a decorated area blasting with loud music. At the top of the stairs, Kyrie is there, who is (as usual) running another scam, playing her new theme song. She is advertising Cloud’s mercenary skills without his permission, but before you can scold her, monsters crash the party and it’s time to fight.
After meeting Kyrie at the lighthouse, she cheekily involves you in solving her issues, which mainly involve dealing with fiends attracted to her location because of her loud music. The main part of this quest involves a four-wave combat sequence. Even though none of the fights are too hard, some enemies can catch you off guard if you are not at your best in the fight. Here’s a breakdown of every enemy type you have to defeat here:
Flan Enemies
- Enemies: 2 Flan (initially), then 3 more spawn
- Weakness: Fire
- Resistance: Physical Attacks
- Strategy: Use Fire-based magic to Pressure and Stagger them quickly. Avoid relying on physical attacks, as they are heavily resistant.
Ignilisks
- Enemies: 3 Ignilisks
- Weakness: Blizzard
- Strategy: Hit them with Blizzard magic to apply heavy Pressure. These creatures aren’t as tanky as the Flan, so they should go down fast.
More Flan
- Enemies: 4 Flan
- Strategy: Same approach as beating them in the first wave—Fire magic is the best weapon against them.
White Mousse (Final Fight)
- Enemies: 2 White Mousse
- Weakness: None (but takes Elemental Damage)
- Resistances: Physical Attacks, Proportional Damage
- Immunities: Slow, Stop, Poison, Stone
- Strategy: White Mousse is much tougher than the Flan. Using different elemental attacks is key; hitting them repeatedly with the same element will cause them to absorb it. Be ready to dodge their high-powered magical attacks after they suck enough energy.
Once the White Mousse is defeated, Kyrie takes off, leaving Cloud with unique Chocobo Gear that she has designed herself. Toby then shows up to praise you, and “The Hardest Sell” quest completes here in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth. The quest rewards include Chocobo equipment (Merc Cap, Merc Overalls, Merc Legwraps), increased Bond with Red XIII, 10 Party EXP, and 500 EXP.
