This section of our guide will show you how to unlock the CHOCOBO and all there is to know about them and CHOCOSFIDE of the game.

HOW TO UNLOCK CHOCOBO RENTAL STATIONS

From the very first minutes of the adventure you will have noticed that there are real and proper rental stations in which to take Chocobo. Unfortunately, these are not active and will only be accessible after visiting the WIZ CHOCOBO STATION at the beginning of Chapter 3. After stopping at the COERNIX SERVICE STATION, accept the PROMPTO proposal thus activating the SECONDARY MISSION - CHOCOBO WE ARE HERE!

To finish this mission you will first need to speak to WIZ as soon as you have the opportunity and then speak to him again to access his hunting requests. You will need to complete the request called DUSCAE'S NIGHTMARE and then talk to WIZ again to get 1500 EXP, a whistle for Chocobo and the activation of all rental points on Lucis. But in detail let's see what the hunt offered by Wiz consists.

REQUEST TO HUNT - THE NIGHTMARE OF DUSCAE

You will have to go to the EYE'S LAIR and eliminate it once and for all. After following him in the fog, in silence and without being identified, she will start the fight with him. Darkeye is a BEHEMOT vulnerable to fire, greatswords and shields. To inflict even more damage on it, you can detonate the explosive barrels in the area with fire spells. However, always be ready to parry when the monster moves its leg or tail as it could unleash deadly attacks. A level of at least 15 is required.
