a) Go to the chocobo farm once you've acquired
the highwind. Enter the house (not the barn) and
talk to the person their. Choose the first
option, and then choose the top chose. Doing this
will let you purchase one of the stalls in the
barn. You’ll need to purchase all six, but they
cost 10000 gill a piece. If you want you can the
process with only four stalls, but you'll have to
kick out chocobos you don't need.
b) Leave and get on the airship. Fly to the
northern continent and land near the lone house
surrounded by grass (it's exactly to the
northwest of the farm). Equip one character with
steal (yellow) materia and keep walking around on
the grass until you fight a large red reptile
(Brachiosaur?). Try to steal from him until you
get a carb nut (you’ll see a message with an
exclamation mark if you stole something). Run
away or beat him, then repeat the process three
times so you have three carb nuts. You also get
this item from the same enemy if you go to the
tip of the peninsula near the evcavator’s village
on the on the Northern Continent where the dark
grass is.
c) Now go to the chocobo tracks near the gold
saucer (by the shore). Equip someone with a
chocobo attract materia and walk along the tracks
until you enter a battle with a chocobo. Don’t
kill the chocobos, but do kill the other enemies.
When the battle is over, press X to dismount and
select the top option to make the chocobo return
to the farm.
d) Go to the tracks on the Southern Continent,
near the forest where you found Cloud in disc 2.
Unlike the walking kind, you can get running
chocobos here. Just repeat step (c) to catch one.
Wait a second- - save your game. If you didn’t
get the right type of chocobo (more about this in
part e) you can reset the game and try again: the
chocobos gender is determined randomly each time,
so you can end up with the correct gender if you
keep resetting and naming the chocobo until you
get the one you want.
e) Return to the chocobo farm. Talk to the guy
standing still in the barn and choose the 3rd
option, then the first choice twice. Name your
chocobo, then repeat with the other bird. This
will also place your chocobos in the stables. You
can tell by their stance (walking or running) if
they are the right type. To tell your chocobos
gender and race ranking (more on this later), go
up to them in the barn and press O.
You’ll want to make sure that the running chocobo
is female and the walking chocobo is male. If you
have a chocobo running with his head down, put it
in a stall, then talk to the man again and choose
the 6th option from the top. Pick the chocobo and
choose the top option twice, then the bottom
option once to let that bird go so you can get
another one. If the sex of the chocobo is wrong,
just use the trick in the above section to change
it.
f) Do you have the right type and gender? Talk to
the man in the barn again and choose the fifth
option from the top. Chose one of the chocobos by
walking up to it and pressing O. Pick the top
option, then repeat with the other chocobo. When
you get another choice, pick the top option. A
list will appear. Remember the items you stole
from that reptile from the north? It will appear
as the item 7th from the top (there should be a 3
next to it since you stole 3 items). Choose the
top choice.
g) Hopefully you got a green chocobo! If you got
a blue or yellow one, reset and try to mate them
again (repeat step f). You’ll want a blue
chocobo, but if you get one right now, it’s
harder to breed a green one. Keep note of your
chocobos gender—it’s important.
h) At this point, you can’t mate the yellow
chocobos again or the green chocobo. If you don’t
want to wait, repeat steps c through f and try to
breed a blue chocobo who is opposite gender of
your green chocobo. If you have time on you’re
hand ,though, waste it and come back later. You
can re-bread your two yellow chocobos and try to
get a blue chocobo. Either way it will take _a
lot_ of tries, but you save the trouble of
capturing and re-naming chocobos if you waste
some time and just re-bread your two yellow
birds. Remember the item that you used (carob
nut), will now have a ‘2’ next to it since you
already used one don’t worry, it will still stay
in the same place on the menu.
i) Okay! Now, you should have a blue chocobo and
a green chocobo of opposite genders. If you
caught another pair of yellow chocobos, you won’t
have any more stall space and you’ll have to let
the yellow ones go. If you simply breaded them
again, you’ll still have two stalls left open.
Since the blue chocobo is a newborn, you’ll need
to waste some time before you can breed it to the
green one. Hop on the highwind and fly back to
the house on the grassy patch in the northern
continent. Talk to the purple geezer and choose
the first option. He will offer to sell you
items; buy 40 of the ones that cost 5000 gil
(shirukisu vegetable).
Return to the chocobo farm and give ten of them
to your blue chocobo and ten to your green
chocobo. You can do this picking the fourth
option when you talk to the man, then picking
sylkis (is the second to last one). Pick the
chocobos you want to feed it to and press up or
down on your controller to increase the number.
Then press O to feed the chocobo.
J) Go to the gold saucer (you can get there from
the sky lift in north corel). Go to the Chocobo
Square, enter the main building, and talk to the
girl in the front of the ’STAFF ROOM’ door.
Choose the first option and pick either your
green or blue chocobo to race. Then pick the top
choice two times and press start at the next
screen to start the race.
The point of racing is to improve your chocobos
race ranking. Remember what happened when you
checked your chocobos stats? Underneath the
gender was the race ranking. You need to improve
it from a C to an A class ranking, and you can do
so by racing. It doesn’t matter if you lose, just
keep racing until you gain new classes. It’s easy
to win using the automatic sequence mode (press
and hold R1, R2, L1, L2). Every time you win a
race, pick the top option to get item, the bottom
option twice to gain an item, or the bottom
option, then the top option to get some GP.
Remember, to raise a class level, you have to
come in first place (and even then you may need a
high score like 1-2 a few times before you gain a
level). When you do raise a racing rank, the girl
will tell you. You can see your chocobos class
every time you race it (at the screen before the
race starts). Obviously, it will take quite
before you reach class ‘A’ (it toke me around 3
races to raise to the next class each time).
k) Get back in the highwind and return to the
chocobo farm. Refer to step f and breed the blue
and green chocobos together. With a little luck,
you’ll find a black chocobo in one of the empty
stalls the following day. Note the chocobos
gender.
l) There’s an elongated island with a forest on
it northeast of the chocobo farm. Go into the
forest and wonder around until you run into a
tiny monster with boxing gloves (goblin). You can
steal a zeio nut from it, you only need one after
you get it, fly to the chocobo tracks on the west
edge of the northern continent and capture one,
you can get the dashing kind here. Then go back
to the farm, name your chocobo and put it in the
stalls. If it isn’t the opposite gender as the
black chocobo, reset and try the naming process
again. Refer to step e if you forgot how to do
this.
m) You should have 20 sylkis greens left, so feed
10 of them to the dashing chocobo and 10 to the
black chocobo (just as you did in step i). Get
the yellow and black chocobos to A-rank class
each. Just repeat what you did back in step j.
When completed return to the chocobo farm.
n) Now, breed your yellow and black chocobo
together. This time use the zeio nut. Once again,
refer to step f if you have any trouble
navigating the menus. You may have to retry a few
times but eventually you’ll get a gold chocobo.
Now you can go anywhere on the world map!
