Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth: How To Find a Chocobo

This guide will tell you how to find your very own Chocobo in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth.

Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth has a diverse open world with beautiful landscapes for you to explore. In such a large map, traveling solely on foot can sometimes feel slow and challenging. The game offers various ways to traverse the map, including vehicles, fast travel points, and the option to ride a Chocobo, which is one of the most enjoyable methods.

Chocobos are recurring creatures in the Final Fantasy titles. Specifically, in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, these cute feathered companions act as mounts, making exploration and resource collection much easier. In this guide, we will clearly explain how to obtain your very own Chocobo in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth.

Catching Your Own Chocobo

During the main story quest “Chocobo Wrangling,” first visit Bill’s Ranch in the Grasslands. Here, you will meet Billy, who gives you a quest to find and catch his Chocobo named Piko. After you accept the quest, search for tracks just outside the ranch. Specifically, look for the large bird footprints on the ground, and follow the trail of bright yellow feathers scattered along the path. As you follow the trail, you will eventually reach a wider open area where many Chocobos can be seen. In the distance, you will be able to see Piko, a Chocobo with a saddle on its back.

Catching Piko is a fun stealth mini-game that tests your patience and strategy. To stay hidden, you need to use patches of tall grass to sneak closer to the Chocobo without being spotted. Moreover, you can throw rocks to create distractions and draw other Chocobos away from you. Once you are behind Piko, a button prompt appears, allowing you to successfully catch it. From here, you can return to Bill’s Ranch, where Billy prepares Piko for you to use.

How Chocobos Can Be Useful

You will need to find Piko to cross the swamp and progress the story in Chapter 2. Chocobos are not just made for speed; they also allow players to explore areas that would otherwise remain out of reach on foot. Later in the story, you can capture more Chocobos in other parts of the world, with each having unique abilities suited to that specific region.
