The chocobo. This cheerful, typically yellow bird is one of the most recognizable creatures in the Final Fantasy series. They make a new appearance in Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, returning as mounts that help you traverse the vast world of Gaia. Chocobos and their usefulness have been greatly expanded in this entry, taking many classic elements and updating them into some of the best versions of our favorite bird mascot yet! Each region has its own variant of Chocobo and its own requirements for obtaining one of these trusty steeds. Use our Final Fantasy VII Rebirth Cosmo Canyon Chocobo Guide to help you get a chocobo for the Cosmo Canyon region!URL slug

Chocolate basics
During your chocobo-fighting journey, there are a few things you should keep in mind. The Chocobos are relegated to their region of origin. So each new area you visit has a few checkboxes that you need to tick to get one. Once you get one, you get a handy whistle that calls your chocobo. Simply press the “R1” button to give it a hit, and your chocobo will rush to your side. Getting into the saddle is as easy as walking to your bird, because you will climb automatically! Keep in mind that your chocobo does a walk, a gallop, and a sprint. This allows you to have a decent speed control range!
Quarrels and stoppages of repair produce plumes. Make sure to pet the chicks!
As you battle other chocobos and repair chocobo stops, you will receive “Golden Feathers”. These beautiful chocolate feathers can be exchanged for cosmetic products with which you can adorn your new bird companions!
How to get a Chocobo in Cosmo Canyon
You will visit Cosmo Canyon in Chapter 10. In order to obtain this new chocobo variant, you will need to do some additional work as it is part of the “Links of Trust” quest. Keep your eyes open; This quest can be found quite early in the chapter, just north of Intel Activation Tower 1. The name of this wrestling game is push a cart. You will have to push a cart along the tracks to have a place to hide behind. Be careful not to be spotted, as these chocobos will move around and look around. Make sure to hit the switch to change the direction of the track so you can continue using the minecart as a portable hideout. Getting this bird, in particular, early will make traversing this area much more fun!
Cosmo Canyon Chocobo Abilities
Most of the abilities of turquoise-colored chocobos are the same as other chocobos. You can run fast and all that. However, you can now swipe! This makes the steep and vast areas of the canyon easy to explore. Without forgetting a pure joy to explore.
One interesting thing your chocobo can do is hunt for treasure (very reminiscent of Choco Hot and Cold from FFIX). Sometimes, when you’re out for a walk, your chocobo will stop dead in its tracks when it detects treasure nearby. You can rummage around to try to find it or spend time sniffing it. Whatever your preferred method, it’s a convenient way to get extra items. Thanks Aponi!
