  • เผยแพร่เมื่อ 15 ธ.ค. 2017
  • A brief description of what I'm doing:
    Need - All 6 stables, 70 Krakka greens, 1 Saraha nut, 2 Carob nuts and 1 Zeio nut.
    Go to Icicle Inn area and capture a wonderful chocobo. Make sure you're only fighting rabbits. Go to Mideel area and steal a great chocobo. Make sure you're only fighting roly poly enemies. Save and close. Go in to the farm and move your chocobos in. Great first then wonderful. Save and close out.
    Go back in to farm and feed a chocobo 1 krakka green. Mate the chocobos using a carob nut. This will give you a River.
    Leave farm and get into 6 battles. Save and close out. Go back in to the farm, feed 50 krakka greens to a chocobo. Mate the female great and male wonderful again using a carob nut to get a mountain.
    Leave and do 8 battles. Save and close out.
    Go back to the farm and feed 5 krakka greens to a chocobo. Breed the female and male river and mountain using a Saraha nut to get a mountain river.
    Leave and do 3 random battles. Save and close out. Go back to the stables, feed 6 krakka to a chocobo and mate the mountain river with the wonderful using the zeio nut.
    Shoutout to Nish for the song Trap Sax!
    Sorry, my voice sounds different throughout the video I recorded dialogue at different times during the day!

    To everyone saying you can just beat Ruby Weapon and get a Gold Chocobo that way...You can't do that until the END of disc 2. By doing this method you're getting it at the BEGINNING of disc 2 which means you can get KotR a lot sooner.

      I honestly want to try to do this without the inbreeding. it is technically possible just a lot more work because you have to catch a total of 3 wonderfuls and a total of 2 Greats. So one wonderful and one great makes the river, then you let those 2 go, you dont need them any more. Then the next wonderful and the next great makes the mountain, you let them go you dont need them any more. You mate the now NON-brother and sister Mountain and River to get the Black chocobo, and then you breed the black chocobo with the only remaining Wonderful. And boom no cross breeding...... but a lot of extra work.

  • @SilentHellVG
    @SilentHellVG 2 ปีที่แล้ว +78

    TO PEOPLE GETTING A BLACK CHOCOBO ON YOUR FINAL MATING SESSION:
    Change the amount of Krakka Greens you give if you are consistently getting a Black Chocobo instead of Gold.
    The guide says to use 6, but I had to use 5 to get it. The Krakka Greens advance the RNG so adjusting this value is what gives you the Gold Chocobo. I kept getting Black and I gave 5 greens instead to get Gold.

    • @kviaak7979
      @kviaak7979 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      The thing is, that you reset the global timer (for RNG manipulation) when you restart your game, which this video didn't explain at all. If you're too slow going in to the stables you need to change the amounts or try to be faster.

    So... I played through the game again to try immediately after getting the Highwind, and with Tifa as the main. Success. I was able to breed a gold Chocobo following the video exactly.
    It may be you can only do this method with Tifa immediately after getting the Highwind.

      Yeah I had a problem at this spot too on the Switch. Pretty sure I just did 7 instead of 8 battles. The game told me the Chocobos were not ready to breed yet, so I tried one more battle. Then the breeding result was not correct. So all I did, having already saved and quit accidentally with battles, was to reload and fight 8 more. The breeding then worked exactly as it should.
      This method saved a massive amount of time, thanks! And I did keep 3x speed mode on the whole time too...

    This was fantastic, thanks so much. Just a few things i'd add playing on Playstation 1 with original PAL discs:
    1) You need to hard reset to achieve the desired effect ie. turn the console off (soft reset doesn't seem to achieve the desired effect)
    2) Chocobo sex doesn't seem to be determined until after you enter the farm (or talk to billy) so if you don't get the wonderful / great sexes you want, don't go through the laborious task of catching them again, just get in some random battles to try and change up the RNG before you enter the farm
    3) how fast you go or how close to the farm you save (as long as you don't get into another random battle) seems to have no effect.

      I tried this yesterday and it didn’t work. So I bought the 6 stables, bought the greens and the nut at the stables. Then I still the 2 carat nuts by those dinosaur guys near bone village, stole the zeo nut from the goblins on that island, then I caught the Chocobo in the snow area that had only bunnies with it and no wolves. Sent it back to the stables and then caught the choco by mideel that spawns with that weird purple rolling bug thing. Went back to the choco farm, saved and went in to move the choco is, but upon moving them I found that I had 2 wonderful chocobos, ass opposed to 1 great and 1 wonderful like he said you’re supposed to have. The only thing I did differently was the character and the Materia, I used Tifa cid and Vincent and I saw that his Tifa has no Materia on other than the choco lure, when I tried the strat yesterday she had other stuff equipped but other than that I did everything to a T

    At 8:25-8:40 you mention repeating the process if their genders don't match up.
    Chocobos have no gender until you look at them for moving into a stable, therefore you can reload the save and rush back into the farm and hope for the right result without having to repeat the catch process.

    I bought an android phone version of this game and have been playing without any references and somehow made it to the end, by which I mean Sephiroth. Then I knew there's a lot more stuff to this game such as materias and limits. The disappointment I felt when I found out many of those could only be reached with a gold Chocobo which I ignored all through the gameplay. Then I ran into this video and got one nice gold Chocobo just now, Dec 20, 2020 00:50 KST. I am silently smiling when everyone's asleep. I am a happy guy in my 40s catching up the dream game I so wanted to play in high school but couldn't due to several reasons. This sure is the happiest moment in the past few weeks. I just got off a Chocobo that can walk on water and everything. Hey, I hope many good things happen to you. Sincerely, thank YOU.
