Chocobos

Chocobos are those birds that are so frusterating to catch. But you need them. To catch a chocobo you simply have to follow these simple steps. First, you must get a Chocobo Lure from Choco Billy at the Chocobo ranch near Midgar. After you buy that from him, buy some greens. The second most expensive is adequete. After that leave the farm and go in search for some Chocobo tracks. Keep walking around the chocobo tracks until you get into a battle with a Chocobo with enemies in it. One thing that I suggest is that you put the speed of the battle slower, this makes it easier to get the items out more quickly. Feed the greens you bought from Choco Billy to the Chocobo and let the Chocobo eat it. Attack all of the enemies around the chocobo but make sure you don't attack the chocobo itself. If you do the chocobo will go berserk and run away. After you kill all the enemies the message "Caught a chocobo" to appear at the top of the screen. You now have a chocobo.

Gold Chocobos

Gold chocobos are special types of chocobos that can walk over mountains, go over rivers, and even go over oceans. This chocobo is often used to get the best summon materia in the game the Knights of the Round Materia. This Materia is located in a cave on the northeastern part of the map. To get a gold chocobo, follow these steps:

1. You need to capture two great chocobos one male and one female. The great chocobos are located in the Mideel area.

2. Then you need get to good chocobos one male and one female. These chocobs are located in the golden saucer area.

3. After you have got all your chocobos, you need to get 3 carob nuts. You can get these nuts just south of bone village. First you need to get into a battle with a red dragon. Then you have to steal the carob nut from him. It may take a while to battle with him twice, but be patient.

4. After you have got all of that prepared, save your game. Now you are ready to breed.

5. Breed a male great chocobo with a female good chocobo. Use a carob nut. You should get a green chocobo (River chocobo)

6. Breed a male good chocobo with a female great chocobo. Use a carob nut. You should get blue chocobo. (Moutain chocobo)

7. If this doesn't work, load up your game again and do the step again. One hint that will increase your chance of getting the chocobo you want is to race your chocobos to increase their class. Make sure that you either have a blue female and a green male chocobo or vice versa.

8. After you do that, breed the blue chocobo with the green chocobo. Use a carob nut. If all works well you will get a black chocobo. (Moutain-River Chocobo)

9. The next step is to get a zeo nut from an island called zombie island. This is located just north of the easternmost continent. Steal the nut from some zombie looking creatures that you battle with.

10. Get a wonderful chocobo from the icicle area on the northern continent.

11. Breed the black chocobo with the wonderful chocobo using a zeo nut. You will now hoave a Gold Chocobo. You can now use this to get the best summon materia the Knights of the Round.

This took me about 3 hours to get the gold chocobo. Just follow the steps and be patient.
