Note:
There is another way to do this. Defeat the Ruby WEAPON. You will get a desert rose. See my Tips, Tricks, and Secrets page, and click on the link titled "The Man In Kalm"
Now for the long way . . .Once on the second disk with the Highwind and Cloud in your party,
this will mean something to you. Buy 99 of the cheapest greens in the
Chocobo ranch (Gysahl Greens, I think). Buy as many stalls as you can
afford. You'll probably need all six in a while. Equip a Chocobo Lure
on someone and head down to the sourthern island of Mideel. Find the
Chocobo tracks and look for a chocobo accompanied only by Spirals, the
little purple things that look like an oversized bug that rolls in a ball.
These will now be known as Great Chocobos. Catch a Great Chocobo. Now go
to Gold Saucer Area Chocobo tracks. Here, you will have to catch Good
Chocobos. If they appear with Flap Beats, they have to be in front of
them. Also, other winged creatures that come can be in front or back of
them. Get at least three of these Good Chocobos to make sure you will
get the right gender. Now go to the Chocobo Farm. (SAVE OUTSIDE FIRST!)
Ask the guy to move your new Chocobos in. What we want is a Male Good and
a Female Great, or a Male Great and a Female Good. Either one; it doesn't
matter. Once you have the right pair, release any others you may have.
If you don't have a good pair, reset, and enter the Farm and try again.
See why I made you save it?
Now, hop in the Highwind to the Chocobo Sage's house. He can be found in
the middle of the snowy land on the top left of your map. (Talk to the
Green Chocobo to get an Enemy Skill Materia!) Talk to the guy, and buy
99 Sylkis Greens. If you have W-Item, buy 1. Do the code back at my
Codes page
until you have 99. Okay, go back to the Farm, and as always . . .
Save it outsite first! Give 50 greens to of you Chocobos and 49 to the other.
Because now, we are off to the Chocobo races. Talk to Ester in the top left
corner and choose either one of your Chocobos. Short races are the best. If
you want to cheat (and why not?) hold R2 and R1 and your Stamina should rise.
Win 9 times total for both of your Chocobos to get them to Class S. There is
a Black Chocobo named something like Teioh, and you'll probably have to be
pretty lucky to beat him. Once both Chocobos are in class S, save it, and
head for Bone Village in the north, but don't go in. Stay on the World Map
and walk around. Get in a fight with a red dragon-like creature named
Vlakorados. One Vlakorados has only one Carob nut, but fight enough to steal
about three or four Carob nuts. And if you have Morph Materia, you can Morph
Vlakorados into an Elixer! Oh, and if you do not have your Steal Materia,
don't worry. Go to the Gold Saucer. Go into the Wonder Square. You can
exchange 500 points for a Carob Nut. But you may be thinking "500 POINTS!"
Well, first see my Codes
page, and see the tip called "The Man At Gold Saucer." And another thing,
when racing your Chocobos and you win, unless you get some really good
item, take the GP.
Go back to the Chocobo Farm, SAVE
BEFORE YOU ENTER! Because now, you are trying to get a special Chocobo.
Talk to Billy and tell him that you want to mate your Chocobos. Choose your
CLASS S Male Good and Female Great (or vice versa) and mate them with a Carob
Nut. You should get a blue, green, or yellow Chocobo. If you get a blue or
green, go outside and save it. If you get a plain ol' yellow Chocobo, reset
and try again.
Once you have one of these special Chocobos, go explore around
for a while, or raise your stats, (you cannot breed again for a while) maybe
near Mideel. If you have Gil Plus Materia (found at the Gold Saucer Wonder
Square for 100 GP) go to the little island close to Mideel. Walk along the
coast and you should always fight Sea Worms. With Gil Plus (I think this is
only with a Level 1 Gil Plus) you should get 10,000 Gil a fight!! That could
help extremely! Or better yet, if you can go into the Crater, go as far as
you can. In one area you will fight Magic Pots, the little pots with purple
dudes who stick out and say "Gimme an elixer!" You should be able to Morph
Master Tonberrys (they have stars over their heads) into elixers, or you
can Morph Vlakorados into elixers. Use the
W-Item duplication
trick and get 99 elixers. You should get 1,000 AP (I think) for defeating
ONE Magic Pot! (note: you can only defeat them by using elixers!)
Well, once you are able to breed again, (I cannot stress how much you must
SAVE BEFORE TRYING!) breed your two Class S Great and Good Chocobos with a
Carob Nut. Cross your fingers and you should get the other (blue or green
. . . make sure that you have both!) kind of the opposite gender. If you
don't, try again, for now, we want to get a Black Chocobo! Once you have
both Green and Blue (mountain and shallow river) Chocobos, go buy 99 Slykis
Greens and give one 50 and the other 49. Next, take them to the Gold Saucer,
because, we're going to race our new Chocobos to Class S! Win 9 times to get
to Class S. When you're finished, head over to the Chocobo Farm and, you
guessed it, SAVE FIRST! After you save your game, go inside and tell the guy
that you are ready to mate your Chocobos. Make sure that they are Male and
Female Class S Green and Blue Chocobos and choose the Carob Nut. Cross your
fingers for a Black Chocobo (mountain and shallow river). If you don't get
it, reset and try again until you do.
Now, before you think that you should raise your stats, head over to the
continent at the top of your map (the snowy one) because now we are trying
to get a Wonderful Chocobo. The only good ones here are the ones with
bunnies. They can be in the front, back, one bunny, two bunnies, just some
bunnies HAVE to be there. But it can only be bunnies, not any other enemies!
Catch at least three to make sure that you have the right gender, and head
back to the Chocobo Farm. SAVE BEFORE ENTERING (as usual) and check to see
if your Chocobos can mate yet. If they can then it is
time to hop back into the Highwind. Head to the small continent above the
Chocobo Ranch (look on your map) so you can get a Zeio Nut. Fight the little imp-like
dudes (known as Goblins) and EITHER steal the Zeio Nut OR you might be able
to win it by defeating them. Once you have at least one, go back to the Farm
(you might want to save it again) and feed 50 and 49 Sylkis Greens to your
Wonderful and Black Chocobos and race them up to Class S. Once you have
completed racing, head back to the Farm to breed. SAVING wouldn't be that
bad of an idea. (I know, I really like to save a lot) Use the Zeio Nut with
the Wonderful and Black Chocobos and hope for . . . THE GOLDEN CHOCOBO!!!
(It can travel on land, mountains, water, ANYWHERE!!!)
Remember that the Golden Chocobo has a strange orange-like glow, you can't
miss it. Once you have a Goldy, you can visit the Materia Caves to get some
very nice Materia.
Another thing, for every new Chocobo born, if it's parents were at Class S,
it will be a little bit faster than normal, and you'll have a better chance
to get a special Chocobo.
Congrats, you should now own a Golden Chocobo!!!
