The
Chocobo Sage
The Chocobo Sage, who lives in an isolated valley justnorth of Bone Village, is a rather forgetful person. However, his memory can apparently be revived if you buy some things from him. He sells Sylkis Greens (feed 10 to a chocobo and all his attributes are raised), Reagan Greens (which raise chocobos' Stamina), and various other Nuts. When his memory is at its sharpest, he'll give you instructions on how to breed a chocobo. Though this site already has a complete guide to breeding chocobos, I thought it would be fun to show you what that absent-minded Chocobo Sage has to say.
After getting some information from the Chocobo Sage, head over to the Chocobo Ranch and tell Chole (the little girl) about what he said. She'll jot down the information and give you an inspection of how well/bad your chocobos are. After you've sapped all the information you can from the Chocobo Sage and told it to Chole, here's what she'll have to say:
"Other than regular regular Chocobo, there are 'Mountain Chocobo' and 'River Chocobo.' In order for the 'Mountain Chocobo' and 'River Chocobo' to be born, feed the 'Carob Nut' to a 'Great Chocobo' or a 'Good Chocobo' and have it produce an egg. But we don't sell 'Carob Nuts.' A 'Great Chocobo' and a 'Good Chocobo' are found on an island southeast of the Chocobo Sage's dwelling at Corel and in the area west of Corel. The 'Carob Nut' can be found south of the Chocobo Sage's dwelling. Monsters carry them. Let's see, is Bone Village south of there? One surprise: If you get the 'Mountain Chocobo' and the 'River Chocobo' to produce an egg, you'll get a Chocobo that can cross mountains and rivers. I bet the right nut for this is the 'Carob Nut.' Bigger surprise: There seems to be a Chocobo that can cross the ocean. If you can cross the oceans, mounstains, and rivers, there'd be no place you couldn't go. In order to get an Ocean Chocobo, you need a Mountain-and-River Chocobo to mate with something else. If you mate the Mountain-and-River Chocobo with a 'Wonderful Chocobo,' you'll get an Ocean Chocobo. But to do that, you can't use an ordinary Nut. The 'Nut' that produces Ocean Chocobos is the 'Zeio nut.' This is the first tim I've ever heard of it. I wonder where you get them? Zeio Nuts are found on a little island east of the Chocobo Sage. 'Goblins' have them. With this, you can produce an 'Ocean Chocobo.' According to my research, Mountain, River, and Ocean Chocobos are hard to produce. But, if you take the right care of the Chocobo and increase their Class ranking by winning at the races, it'll increase their chances of getting one."
And that's the secret information you'll get from the game. But, if you think it's not very precise information (because it isn't), just take a look at the Chocobo Breeding Guide I made. It's much better than this, and by following its directions, you'll soon have your very own "Ocean Chocobo."
