Chadley is back in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, and his role is, for the most part, the same as it was in the previous game. Chadley still wants you to complete tasks in exchange for materia, but his requests are far more interesting this time around. Here's what you need to know about how to develop materia in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth.

How to get new materia from Chadley

Chadley appears early in Chapter 2, at Bill's Ranch in the Grasslands region. You can start your materia hunt as soon as you meet him for the first time. However, this time, instead of focusing purely on combat requests--though those are here, too--Chadley wants you to explore the map to visit a number of points of interest. These World Intel locations you investigate will reward you with data points, which is the new currency used to develop materia.

World Intel locations are marked by yellow icons on the map, and they include protorelic challenges, remnawave towers to activate, excavation sites, lifesprings, and more.
