“Side quest” is a bit of a misnomer actually, since you technically have to finish at least two quests to advance the plot. Lost Friends has you locate three lost cats for a young child named Betty near the Beginner’s Hall.
And it’s about as challenging as you’d expect, even with Midgar not being open-world and Betty offering hints. Fortunately, we’ve taken the guesswork out of it with our FF7 Remake lost friends guide.
Note that these locations aren’t fixed. What we’re calling the first cat is just the first one we found.
Lost Friends First Cat
Head to Tifa’s Seventh Heaven. The cat is on the porch, next to the front door. You can’t actually collect the cat, though. It scampers off before you can do anything.
Lost Friends Second Cat
Exit the Item Shop (north of the Beginner’s Hall) and turn left. When you’re faced with two paths in front of you, take the left path. There’s a woman standing in front of a pipe. Speak to her. She’s the one with a green marker above her head, so she’s not exactly hard to miss. Go into the pipe after you speak with her, and kitty number two runs away.
Lost Friends Third Cat
The final cat (depending on the order you find them) is on your way towards Undercity Station. That’s east of Seventh Heaven. You’ll head towards an intersection there, and Tifa mentions she hears something. Search around for the cat, and it, too, runs away.
With all the cats accounted for, go back to Betty. They made their way back to her, so your work is finished. As a reward, Betty gives you a Maiden’s Kiss item, and your HP and MP are restored.
It might not seem like much. But Maiden’s Kiss cures the Toad state (where you can do basically nothing), so it’ll be handy later on.
That’s it for all the Final Fantasy 7 Remake Lost Friend cat locations. Stay tuned to GameSkinny for more Final Fantasy 7 Remake guides and our review in the coming days.
