  • 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 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.

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.
