Lifespring 1

Location: The first lifespring can be found right next to the Dried Oasis Remnawave Tower, which is the third tower in this region. You can see the exact location in the image above.
How To Enter: The entrance to the Lifespring will be locked, but a cutscene will start playing once you arrive at the location, and Bugenhagen will spawn in to unlock the door.

Lifespring 2

Location: Both the second and third lifesprings are located near the Planetological Ruins area in Cosmo Canyon. You can find the second lifespring at the entrance of the ruins near the Crimson Earth Remnawave Tower, which is the second tower.
How To Enter: Once you arrive at the location, you will encounter some enemies trying to destroy the barricade that’s protecting the lifespring. Quickly finish off these enemies to protect the barricade and then enter the lifespring.

Lifespring 3

Location: After coming out of the room containing the second lifespring, keep running forward, and you will come across the entrance of the third lifespring. You can also use the fourth and sixth Remnawave Towers to pinpoint the location, as shown in the image above.
How To Enter: Once again, I had to defeat the enemies here who were trying to destroy the barricade to enter the Lifespring.

Lifespring 4

Location: The fourth lifespring is also pretty easy to locate since it is located right next to the Gliding Range Remnawave Tower, the fourth tower in the region, and the exact location is shown in the image above.
How To Enter: This is the last lifespring where you’ll have to protect the barricade by killing the enemies. After dealing with the enemies here, you can enter the fourth lifespring.

Lifespring 5

Location: The fifth and final lifespring is a bit tricky to access, and you really can’t reach it without a Chocobo. There is a mountain that you can find below the Gliding Range Remnawave Tower, which you’ll have to climb by gliding across huge gaps using your Chocobo.
How To Enter: At the top, you’ll come across the entrance of the final lifespring, and here, you’ll have to fight three Threadspinner Chimera enemies. You can easily pressurize them using Tifa’s abilities and Ice spells.

Rewards

After finding the fifth lifespring and beating the Threadpsinner Chimera enemies, the From Whence Life Flows side quest will be complete. You will be rewarded with Fortunes Untold IV and Party EXP, and your relationship will deepen with Red XIII. Fortunes Untold IV will allow you to unlock more Skill Cores for Cait Sith since it rewards with more SP for Folio upgrades.

This concludes my guide on the From Whence Life Flows side quest in FF7 Rebirth. I have entailed a complete walkthrough of the quest and have mentioned the exact location of all five lifesprings.
