In this game, there are both main and side quests, as in any other RPG. One of the early side quests you'll come across is called "Where the Wind Blows". 

The mission is straightforward: you need to craft an important component necessary for a windmill to function properly. Here, the keyword is "craft". This means you'll need a few additional items to obtain what's required. But what, exactly?

First, your task will involve some searching because without a transmuter chip, you'll get nowhere. And then, kill a demon. Which one, you ask? Correct, Quetzalcoatl.

Quetzalcoatl is positioned in the RPG as an optional boss. Though this enemy is categorized as "optional", defeating it can yield significant rewards. Secret battles exist in every region, and Quetzalcoatl is the first in the Grasslands area outside of Kalm. So, be prepared!

To start, you must scan the lifesprings. If by this point you've unlocked the transmuter chip, it means 2 lifesprings have already been scanned. Don't stop there; you need to scan two more to engage the boss and ensure the Quetzalcoatl Talon as a guaranteed reward after victory.

All 4 lifesprings can be found around the Grasslands. Below, we attach a picture with the marked zones.

Once you're nearby, a bird will appear and lead you to the source.

The location of the boss

Once you finish scanning the lifesprings, data pinpointing the boss's location will appear on your map.

Head to that location. Hold the Triangle button and bring the bird-dragon-thing down to the ground. Don't worry, the fight won't be difficult. Nonetheless, should you encounter difficulty, leverage its vulnerability by harnessing the power of ice-type assaults and materia.
