Corel contains 30 World Intel Locations (Regional Data) in Final Fantasy VII Rebirth. This walkthrough will guide you to all the world intel collectibles in Corel Region. Nothing is missable, everything can still be completed via Chapter Select which is unlocked after the story. If collecting via Chapter Select it’s best to do everything in Chapter 13 because you have access to everything in the open world at this point. Finding 100% all World Intel in all regions is mandatory for the trophy “Materia Completionist” to develop all of Chadley’s Materia.

Especially when they use the attack “Thunderpeck” keep 1 ATB ready and immediately use Fire Spell to interrupt their attack or else they will stun you.

(becomes accessible in Chapter 9)
#10 – Fiend Intel 4: Death from Below
Objectives: Stagger an enemy / Defeat the enemy without getting swallowed /Defeat the enemy within the time limit

#11 – Fiend Intel 5: Fish Out of Water
Objectives: Pressure an enemy / Stagger an enemy / Defeat all enemies within the time limit.
These enemies are buried in the sand. Attacking them when they jump out will pressure them, then will be just lay on the ground and can be attacked until staggered. An easy way is to use Cloud’s Spin attack by holding

#12 – Fiend Intel 6: Unholy Union
Objectives: Exploit an enemy’s weakness / Stagger an enemy / Defeat all enemies within the time limit.
All 3 objectives should be completely pretty much automatically in this fight. The enemy’s weakness is when they use their own attack “Aquatic Beam”, they will pressure themselves when using it. The enemies are weak to fire. Just spam Cloud’s Firebolt Blade ability throughout the fight. The location is quite well hidden, to reach it you must follow the path behind Activation Intel 6: Ravine Tower.

The entrance is on the north side of the mountain, drive up there and walk past the trailers blocking the path. Defeat the Cactuars in front of the rock, then interact with the rock, then go back to the Protorelic marker.
Now the door is unlocked, head inside and you’ll have to play a minigame of Cactuar Crush. The goal is to defeat as many Cactuars as possible in the time limit while playing Yuffie. Gladiatuars are weak to physical damage, Magituars are weak to Yuffie’s Ninjutsu magic. But if you want to keep it really simple just hold and spam that repeatedly for AOE damage and you should at least reach Rank 1 (1000 points) which is sufficient for the Relic.
#28 – Phenomenon Intel 2: Kid G’s Trial
Unlocked immediately upon completing the 1st Protorelic. Same as before, you get a Cactuar Statue when interacting with the locked door at the Relic location.
Hold it with to shine it at the destination (map image below).
You must climb up some yellow ledges to the north-east to reach the rock on a hill. Defeat the Cactuars, interact with the rock, return to the Relic location and beat Rank 1 of the minigame.
This minigame uses Aerith, you can cast Luminous/Shadow Ward with L2/R2. Then while standing inside the Ward can use light or dark magic. The bright Cactuars are weak to Luminous Ward, the dark Cactuars are weak to Shadow Ward.
#29 – Phenomenon Intel 3: Unfriendly Competition

Same as before you must get the cactuar statue, hold it up to shine a light in the direction of the cacatuar rock. It’s found south-west of the intel location, by climbing up yellow ledges on a wall.
Then head back to the intel and complete the minigame.
#30 – Phenomenon Intel 4: Bladesman of Legend
Unlocked in Chapter 12, after completing main objective “Hightailing It”, and after having completed Phenomenon Intel 3. Just like before you must grab the Cactuar statue and hold it up to be pointed towards the Cactuar Rock.
It’s located directly east of the intel location, at the edge of the map. From Expedition Intel 6 head south to find a climbable wall with yellow ledges (slightly east of a chocobo stop). Climb up and follow the yellow ledges to reach the Cactuar rock.
Then head back to the intel and you’ll have to do another Cactuar Crush as Aerith. Afterward you have a miniboss fight which will complete the last relic piece.
