Ive played chocobo hot and cold about 60 times in my current game and all I have found is 4 choco graph pieces, 2 of which I can't use because i don't have the right abilities. Worst of all, every time i play i just get useless items like '100 gil' or an antidote, is there something i don't know? some on help me out here

Sounds like you're just digging in the chocobo forest on the mist continent and that you've just dug up all the chocographs in that area. At some point you should be able to get to other digging regions like the lagoon, but for them, you need blue or better chocobo

If you've played 60 times in the forest, you should have all the chocographs in that area too, meaning you should also have the blue chocobo. I suggest you play when you get the airship, that way you can get the blue chocobo and get to the lagoon where the 2 remaining chocograph pieces are.

You can get Blue Chocobo if you go from Gizamalukes Groto in beach near Burmecia there use Gisashi(lool) and summon Chocobo and use the chocograf that showing the beach

P.S If you have digged all of Chocografs Mog will tell you that he cant find anymore

Kie

True, but the guy has to have the right chocograph up before he can find it on the beach.

Yes you've already said that Halo, but you're right. Artinem, in the forest, you can only get all of the chocographs if you have the red chocobo or higher (i'm not sure whether it goes red then blue or vice versa, but if you can climb the vines in the forest, you can get them all).

Also, in the lagoon, you'll notice with the blue chocobo that you can only dig in the shallow bit, not the deep bit. Once you get a black chocobo, you'll be able to find the rest of the chocographs in the lagoon and get the gold chocobo. I think there's like, 24 chocographs in total in the game, plus a bunch of other stuff.

Toastie!

Does anyone know EXACTLY where the ocean chocogragh is? I searched everywhere, but to no luck. It is only one I haven't found.

Agent0042
12-12-2005, 06:20 AM
Hmm, Ocean chocograph. If you're thinking of the one I'm thinking of, that's off in the ocean to the west of the continent that has no shoreline. It's not too far away from one of the upper islands, but you really have to do some searching around. If you think I'm barking up the wrong tree, then post here the description / Moguo hint for that one and I'll be able to figure it out better.

I never did finish the Chocobo Quest. I think I must have needed just one more. Does anyone have a map or something showing the locations of them.
Agent you must have something

the ocean chocograph can be found north-east of oeilovert. there is a line of island east of the continnt with oilvert it is about a three second walk from the one with the chocobo tracks. It may be on thea east side. It make take a few minutes to find

Kie
12-12-2005, 05:17 PM
Rude, GameFAQs has an awesome chocograph map, take a look.

The hardest Chocograph to find is on Vile Island, the map's no good for that, you just gotta take small steps and hope you find it.

God, i couldn`t stand Chocobo hot and cold. Initialy it was pretty great because it was fresh but once it got to those latter treasure hunts it was unbearable in my opinion.

Dirge --- I assume you're referring only to the treasure-hunting on the world-map and not the minigame managed by Mene? Although I'll agree that Air Garden was sucky, but the Lagoon was great.

Rude666
12-13-2005, 08:05 PM
I forgot about the air garden. That place was pretty shit. But the rest of the chocobo quest was good

I haven`t played it in awhile to be honest. And to me the mini-games are kind of blurring into eachother.

Kie
12-14-2005, 09:26 AM
Yeah the Lagoon is the best way to get a level 99 beak (and the star next to the level :D) and is also a quick way of gaining points. My record for that level is 412 points and i finished it with 31 seconds to go.

Rude666
12-14-2005, 12:35 PM
It goes the Lagoon, the Mist Continent one, and then the Air Garden one.
And I think my highest score was about 600, but the highest my beak level got was about 70

Agent0042
12-15-2005, 12:42 AM
I've long forgotten all my records (and I don't feel like looking them up), but I'm quite good at the Lagoon. It's really fun to pile on bonuses.

12-15-2005, 11:16 AM

600 lol. I don't think that's possible :P

Agent0042
12-16-2005, 04:54 AM
Yeah, I dunno about that. I think my highest was around 400 something. Perhaps I'll check sometime and examine my savefiles and see what my best overall is.

Rude666
12-16-2005, 10:52 AM
I spose thinking about it (properly), I got what you got but it might be cuse I'm from Europe, it has different sort of rules..... maybe

Desert Wolf
12-17-2005, 11:23 AM
I cant remember the score but my most was over 8 items anyways.

Kie
12-17-2005, 11:27 AM
lol Rude, i have the same version as you, being australian and all (we get the same stuff as england, we're both international according to america), however i'm sure the americans have the same version as you too and the rules do not change :P 600 ain't possible.

Rude666
12-17-2005, 11:39 AM
OK..... I got 599

Kie
12-18-2005, 08:24 AM
Also impossible...try somewhere around 400 and we'll believe you...

Agent0042
12-18-2005, 08:58 AM
Hoo boy. Umm... sorry, Kie, but I'm afraid we're actually going to have to give this one to Rude666. I just checked my two best savefiles and it turns out that my highest scores for Lagoon are around 450, but my highest score for Air Garden is 758. So the scores that Rude666 is quoting are not only not impossible, they're quite likely.

(sheepish grin)

And be quiet Rude, i still don't believe you :) I just accept that the scores are possible now.

12-20-2005, 11:35 AM

thanks for the help guys, one more thing, does anyone know where to get a pumice piece from?, (ive already got one)

Kie
12-21-2005, 01:00 PM
Well i assume you got the first piece from Ark. To get the second piece i'm pretty sure you have to get the Outer Island 2 chocograph and find it there. I suggest getting to the part in disc 3 when you're about to go to Terra and finishing most of the chocobo quest (including the outer island 2 bit) then. A chocobo guide will do the trick.

Rude666
12-21-2005, 01:02 PM
Damn. I've got 2, but one of them I know you get from an enemy called Ark in that wierd place that Kuja sends you to, but I cant remember where you get the other from.
Although I did hear that you get a Pumice Piece from Ozma.

Kie
12-21-2005, 01:03 PM
Yeah but finishing the chocobo quest is easier than beating ozma last time i checked ;)

Rude666
12-21-2005, 01:06 PM
I aint beat Ozma actually.
Cant be bothered. Its supposedly a waste of time

Kie
12-21-2005, 01:08 PM
I beat him...only cause i wanted that pumice piece so i could have all of the armour.

I also got rid of Cinna's Hammer to get the Tin Armour, which is the best armour ever for Steiner.

Rude666
12-21-2005, 01:14 PM
Is the armour really that good? Hmmm I might have to get it as Cinna's Hammer is useless, apart from that thing at the ending, although that's completly rubbish aswell

Kie
12-21-2005, 01:20 PM
Yeah that extra bit is annoying...takes forever to get through, when all you wanna do is watch the cutscene at the end. Yeah the armour is great, defense skyrockets.

Rude666
12-21-2005, 01:30 PM

Desert Wolf
12-24-2005, 01:37 AM
Yeah that armour rocks.I never had the hammer at the end so i didnt see that extra bit.What was it like?

Kie
12-24-2005, 06:25 AM
It's nothing special just a little bit extra in the "I want to be your canary" play. You get the same ending if you get the Save the Queen, so you can get rid of the hammer and still see the ending.

12-24-2005, 05:58 PM

Agent0042

Yeah, you can get one. You just have to really keep trying due to Zidane's sucky Steal rate (unless you're really lucky.)

Rude666
12-28-2005, 10:30 AM
Zidane's sucky Steal rate (unless you're really lucky.)

It aint that bad.
Or maybe if you get a walkthrough, the computer knows youve got it and lets you steal more easily
