To obtain the Mindflayer’s Crown, you must defeat the Mindflayer and hope it drops the item. However, this optional boss fight won’t be available until you have visited all the Lifesprings in the Junon region. If you manage to unlock all the Remnawave towers in this region, you will be able to see the locations of the four Expedition Intel objectives that you must complete.

The first one is located quite near Junon. Move northeast from the local Chocobo ranch and you’ll see a Lifespring Owl that will take you to the Lifespring.

Expedition Intel 2 is located on an island next to a bunch of shipwrecks. It’s pretty much in the middle of the Junon region.

The third Lifespring is in a rocky area to the northeast of the Junon region. There are many other objectives for you to complete around it, too.

The last one is the furthest and is located in the southwest of the Junon area. If you’re doing the region’s side quests, you’ll eventually be taken to that area. That said, you can go there earlier if you want.

With all that out of the way, Chadley will reveal that a menace has been identified in the Region and will mark your map with the location of this optional boss battle.

The Mindflayer is a significantly powerful creature and can be quite dangerous to face if you’re unprepared. One of the most effective ways to deal damage to it is by using Cloud’s synergy skills with Tifa and spending ATB bars to build up Synergy Abilities since they will help stagger the Mindflayer.
