While the main storyline remains the focal point, side quests not only extend your playtime but also present opportunities to encounter familiar faces unexpectedly. These characters may require your assistance in various matters, adding depth and diversity to your journey.

How To Begin Victim Of Circumstance

The Victim Of Circumstance quest becomes available from the Community Noticeboard in the Cosmo Canyon region after reaching chapter 12 in the game.

This quest requires you to find a stranded character in the desert who needs your help in defeating some fiends blocking their way. To locate these fiends, you'll need a special item called the Vibrodetector, which can be purchased from the Moogle Emporium.

In order to obtain the Vibrodetector, visit the Moogle shop in Cosmo Canyon, situated to the south of the map. You can buy the Vibrodetector for just three Moogle Medals.

With the Vibrodetector in hand, you'll be able to track down the three locations of the fiends. However, since you're already following this guide, we'll directly point you to their locations.

If you're short on Moogle Medals, you can often find some boxes atop the Activation Intel towers. Just hit these boxes to collect some Moogle Medals.

Where To Find The Fiend Location

Fiend Location #1

For your first location, head towards the Activation Intel 3: Dried Oasis Tower, situated to the east of the region. Just a little south of the tower, use your Vibrodetector. It will start emitting waves, indicating that you are approaching the fiend's location near some bushes.

After a short cutscene where the monster runs away, you'll need to follow it to its second location.

Fiend Location #2

For the second location, head to the north of the region, specifically northeast of the Phenomennon Intel 2: Left Behind. With your Vibrodetector in hand, approach the area. You'll recognize the fiend's presence by the emitting waves of the device. However, this time, when you approach, the monster will run away, and you'll face an ambush by other enemies.

You'll encounter two Desert Sahagin, which are basic enemies. Focus on dealing with them first before turning your attention to the Stone Golem.

Utilize Yuffie's Ninjutsu to attack from a safe distance and build up the stagger meter before unleashing all your offensive abilities on the Stone Golem. This strategic approach will help you defeat it efficiently.

Fiend Location #3

For the final location, head just north of the first location to reach an open area. Once there, use your Vibrodetector again to follow the waves emanating from it. This time, the beast won't run away, and you'll have to defeat it.

The Gigaworm may attempt to use Swallow, where it literally swallows one of your party members, rendering them unusable.Dodge these attacks when the Gigaworm emerges from the sand and dives toward you. Another tip is to attack it from behind or the sides rather than the front, as this helps build up the stagger meter quickly.

Additionally, use the Focused abilities from Cloud, Tifa, or Barret to expedite the process. Once it's staggered, use your weapon abilities, and the battle should conclude swiftly.

After the fight, Zhijie will arrive with his car to give you your Magnify Materia. You'll also receive EXP, Party EXP, and your relationship with Yuffie will change as a result of the quest completion.

If you find any of these encounters challenging, don't hesitate to switch to the Easy difficulty setting.
