While exploring Costa del Sol in , players can partake in a «Cactuar caper» hunt with the Shinra Middle Manager. The Middle Manager becomes more important for Queen's Blood players later on, but for now, he needs help finding four hidden pink Cactuars scattered throughout town. Luckily, "" is quick to complete and should not be too tricky for most players.
Using the provided «caper camera» and «caper map» is straightforward: find Cactuar locations with the map (using the Left D-Pad on PS5), then take a photo of them with the camera (using the Up D-Pad). Players will receive a «companion card» item for Aerith as a reward. These cards can be exchanged at Beachwear Exchange Booth stalls throughout Costa Del Sol for new swimsuit outfits for party members.
The "" side quest in can be started by visiting the far end of Costa del Sol's main promenade, where the Shinra Middle Manager is bugging a Studio Employee about needing a partner for the contest. He frantically asks the party to be his partner, which they agree to as he trots off to begin searching. The player then receives a map of the Cactuars' locations and a «caper camera.»
The four Cactuars need to be photographed at certain zoom levels to count, noted by the camera reticle turning green when in the correct range.
All four pink Cactuars are located very close to one another, usually hidden on structures like signs or hills. The «caper map» only provides a rough estimate for where each Cactuar is hidden. For convenience, the locations of all hidden Cactuars will be listed below, along with photo references of the Cactuars themselves. After each Cactuar photo, the Shinra Middle Manager will comment on his love for Cactuars and his appreciation for the player party's assistance.
Directly left of where "" begins is the Surf & Suntan shop, which hides the first pink Cactuar graffiti. Zoom in by 40% on the lefthand side of the shop's sign to get the first Cactuar photograph.
