Final Fantasy 16, how to get the Chocobo

Here's how to get the Chocobo in Final Fantasy 16, the only mount present in the new episode of the saga.

Although Final Fantasy 16, as highlighted by the review, has brought to the table a much drier version of the exploration that has always been a true trademark of the series, navigating the open maps introduced by Yoshida's team is an act quite time consuming. Since even the shot is subject to an activation time, it is very useful to be able to count on a tool capable of facilitating the navigation of the large regions already known.

On this page we see how to get the Chocobo in Final Fantasy 16, a rather simple operation in and of itself but which could escape many players, especially those who have little time available to play and, given the poor quality of the secondary missions, have chosen to skip them to dedicate themselves solely to the main one. To obtain the mount, in fact, you must complete one of the very few important secondary missions, i.e. those which are not only indicated by the classic green symbol, but also by a "+" symbol, which just like in the fourteenth online chapter indicates that the reward for the activity is quite important.

Before leaving you with the rest, we remind you that we have published the complete guide to Final Fantasy 16, an important compendium for completing the game in its entirety.

How to get the Chocobo

The first very important thing is that the core side quests are not encountered until the main mission "The Curse of the Crystals" is completed, which you will have access to after just over ten hours of play. Once this phase is complete, the world will undergo a slight change and will finally raise the curtain on the definitive version of open maps. As soon as you have access to the Rosaria region again, you will find the secondary "The White Wonder" waiting for you right outside Martha's refuge. We would like to point out once again that, regardless of the quality of the secondary missions, when they are indicated with the "+" symbol - as in this case - you must always give them the attention they deserve, because they always unlock new tools or new mechanics.

This is a very simple mission: you will find the same merchant you came across during your first visit to Rosaria, and he will tell you that the bandits in the area are terrorized by a mysterious white Chocobo that is raging in the area. To complete the mission all you have to do is get off the bridge Martha's Retreat and reach the southern end of the swamps, where you will have to help the mysterious Chocobo get rid of a horde of bandits. Once you have completed this very simple task, you can summon your faithful Chocobo at any time, but only on open maps, by holding down the L3 button, or the left analogue.
