What do gold chocobos look like

How does it work? We will be using the RNG of the game to manipulate the game into thinking certain flags are set, enabling us to bypass chocobo racing altogether! This can be done as early as Disc 2, when Tifa is your party leader. The original video was deleted I had it saved on a playlist or else I'd give credit. There's tons of videos up explaining the same method.

I just figured I'd move it over to Steam, thought it might be useful for other people like me who hate Chocobo Racing. Steal 2 Carobs Nuts from them. You will need to find 2 of them, as you only encounter them alone and not in groups. Now for the slightly annoying part. Depending on RNG, you may spend a bit of time finding the proper chocobo and enemy groups. First, fly to the Icicle Inn area and catch a Wonderful Chocobo. Wonderful Chocobos only appears with one or two Jumpings enemies, pictured below: A chocobo with a rabbit and a wolf will NOT be Wonderful and should be ignored.

Once caught, send this one to the Stable. Next, fly to the Mideel area and catch a Great Chocobo. They appear alongside one or two Spiral enemies, pictured below: Once caught, send the Great Chocobo to the Stable as well. With the Nuts, Greens, and Chocobos handy, fly back to the Chocobo Farm and follow these instructions exactly!

For PS Vita, press and hold the screen and choose reset. If you have followed this guide exactly, the chocobo will be Female. It should be a male. Choose the female first and use a Carob Nut. As a result, you should end up with a Blue Female! Choose your remaining Carob Nut. Following this guide, you should end up with a Green Male. Choose the Blue one first. Use a Saraha Nut. Once you catch one, you can mount it and ride it around; you can ride it around and then dismount.

If you have rented at least one chocobo stable, you'll be given the opportunity to send the chocobo back to the ranch after releasing it. The chocobo will automatically travel to the ranch, and wait inside the fence. You can only send four chocobos to the fence this way.

After that, you need to go back to the ranch, and either release some of them or transfer them to one of your stables. There are seven places around the world where you can find chocobos' trails, but not all of them are worth your time. Again, check out the map.

In order to breed the rare kinds of chocobos we're looking for, we must have the finest chocobos available. So, only three places will require our attention for the purpose of breeding, and one more place to get the Chocobuckle Enemy Skill:.

Since we want the Good sort, we're only interested in chocobos that we meet in an enemy group with two Spencer s - you can feel free to run from the other battles with a chocobo, because they will always be of the Average type. Mideel Area: You can find either Fair chocobos or Great chocobos. We want the Great ones, of course, and they come along with Spiral s.

One of the chocobos here can also teach you the Chocobuckle enemy skill see below on how to do it. Icicle Area: You can either find Weak chocobos or Wonderful chocobos. Wonderful chocobos are found in encounters where the Jumping s are the only enemies a Weak one comes along with a party consisting of a Bandersnatch and a Jumping : you can stay away from this one.

In order to breed the kind of chocobos we want, the couple destined to mate has to be in the finest shape possible. And for that, there are two things to do: raise their stats, and advance their class at the Chocobo Square.

The fastest way to raise the statistics of a chocobo is to feed him or her with a large amount of Sylkis Greens. If you feed one 90 or so, you're guaranteed to maximize its statistics. To advance the Chocobo's class, you'll need to race it at the Gold Saucer, and win races. Note however that not every chocobo can advance to the S class: Yellow chocobos can reach B class, but rarely A class, while Blue, Green, Black and Gold can easily reach S class.

If you don't get the chocobo you're looking for, reset and restart. Also, newly born chocobos and chocobos who just gave birth to a new one can't mate again right away: you'll have to spend some time before they can. Switch your controller back to the default setting when moving Chocobos into the barn. You should now race your Chocobos in order to maximize the odds of obtaining a Blue or Green Chocobo. All you need to do is win four races between your two Chocobos to maximize the potential of breeding a Blue or a Green Chocobo.

This means that you only have to race one of them and you should pick the one with the best stats to race. Speak to a character named Chole who can be found in the barn.

Chole can tell you which of your two Great Chocobos have the best stats. Feed that one around 10 of your Sylkis Greens until its stats discontinue rising and then travel to Gold Saucer to win 4 races with that Chocobo. Make sure to take some GP as prizes for winning some of the Chocobo races in preparation for a later side quest involving Battle Square.

Return to the Chocobo Farm and save your game on the world map just outside. In order to breed your two Chocobos again you will need to fight at least ten battles without running away. You need to receive the opposite color and gender of your previous Chocobo so that you can breed the Blue and the Green. Reset the game using a soft reset by holding L1, L2, R1, R2, Start and Select at the same time and then try again until you succeed. In order to maximize the odds of breeding a Black you need to win approximately 9 races between your two Chocobos.

Chocobos that you breed will not be old enough to breed themselves until you have engaged in somewhere between 3 to 18 battles without running away. Complete the battles and then save your game outside of the Chocobo Farm. Wonderful Chocobos can be captured on the tracks near the Icicle Inn. You can land the Highwind close by on the non-snowy parts of the continent.

Wonderful Chocobos are always accompanied by an enemy called a Jumping , but not by any enemies called Bandersnatches if you get a mix of Jumpings with Bandersnatches and a Chocobo it will not be a Wonderful Chocobo.

Jumping enemies are pictured in the screenshot below and look like rabbits while Bandersnatches look like wolves. Fly back to the Chocobo Farm and save your game outside on the world map. Go back into the barn and speak to Choco Billy to have him bring your Wonderful Chocobo into one of the stables. Soft reset your game if the Chocobo is not the opposite gender of your Black Chocobo. Feed your Black Chocobo around 10 Sylkis Greens until its stats stop increasing. You need to win 12 races between your Black Chocobo and your Wonderful Chocobo in order to guarantee that you receive a Gold Chocobo.

Remember that you might have to initiate between 3 to 18 battles again before you can breed your Black Chocobo. Reenter the Chocobo Farm and breed them using a Zeio Nut and do another soft reset until it works. Note that some players have reported that they were only able to obtain a Gold Chocobo by selecting the Black Chocobo first so give this a try if you run into any problems. You are now the proud owner of a Gold Chocobo. The Gold Chocobo can travel anywhere on the World Map including across oceans.
