FF7 Rebirth Gongaga Protorelic Locations [All Details]

Players must fight their way through various combat simulation challenges to obtain the Gongaga Protorelic.

The Gongaga Protorelic is locked behind combat simulations, which can be accessed in the Turks’ Training Facilities scattered across the Gongaga region in FF7 Rebirth. There are four separate combat simulations that must be completed to unlock the Protorelic.

Key Takeaways
  • The Gongaga Protorelic can be obtained by completing four combat simulations in FF7 Rebirth.
  • These simulations can be found inside the Turks’ Training Facilities located around the Gongaga region.
  • Players must obtain the Chocobo in Gongaga first to make traversal easier and to reach the final training facility.
  • Aside from the Protorelic itself, players will receive additional rewards, including amazing items such as the Prayer Materia and EXP.
Important: Make sure to obtain the Chocobo in the Gongaga region by following the main story before you start looking for training facilities to get your hands on the Protorelic.

  • Entrance: The icon for the Phenomenon was located on the mountain, which confused me at first, but the entrance can be found on the right side, where stairs can be seen once you enter the Cliffside Storehouse area.

  • Reward: After completing the combat simulation, you will also obtain 2 Bottles of High Ether by opening up the treasure chest inside the training room.

Phenomenon Intel 3

  • Entrance: The entrance is not hidden this time around, and it can be spotted easily once you arrive at the location shown in the image above.

  • Challenge: The challenge still involves beating three waves of enemies, but a time limit will be imposed to make things more challenging; however, the Shinra Troops you face here have relatively lower health.
  • Reward: The treasure chest inside the third training room only contains an Elixir for players to collect.

Phenomenon Intel 4

The Location of The Fourth Training Facility In The Gongaga Region
  • Location: The fourth and final training facility is located between the Gongaga Ruins Remnwave Tower and the Gongaga Airstrip.
  • Entrance: It is the hardest entrance to locate since most players will try to approach the location from the Gongaga Airstrip and get blocked by a closed door. You need to reach the location from the Gongaga Ruins.

  • Challenge: This is also the hardest yet and is essentially a boss fight since you’ll have to face a simulation of both Rude and Elena simultaneously.
  • Strategy: I was easily pressurizing Elena using Tifa’s abilities, and you can also make use of the Wind and Lightning spells, which are Rude and Elena’s weaknesses.
  • Reward: After defeating Rude and Elena, you will obtain a Level 3 Prayer Materia from the treasure chest inside the training room, as well as the Gongaga Protorelic, which is known as the Turks’ Protorelic.

Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth is an amazing sequel that is filled to the brim with content. It offers around seven different playable characters you can mix and match to continuously change your party over the course of the entire story. Each character can be equipped with a different Materia Setup, and you can even unlock skill cores in the new Folio upgrades.

This concludes my guide on the locations of various combat simulations that must be beaten to obtain the Gongaga Protorelic in FF7 Rebirth. I have included images of each facility’s location and mentioned the type of challenge you’ll face inside. Let me know if you’re having fun with Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth in the comments below!
