Walkthrough

  • Speak to Brutus (A) in Abyssea - Attohwa (H-8). He will trade you Gysahl Greens icon.png Gysahl Greens.
    • This location is at Veridical Conflux #08. If you have not gone to this location yet, you need to speak to Red Ghost (A) who will teleport you above the ledge.
  • Trade the Gysahl Greens icon.png Gysahl Greens to one of the Chocobo Spoor targetable location in the vicinity of (I-8), (I-9), or (J-13).
    • The quickest spoor to get to is a quick run out of the southeast tunnel from Brutus. Alternatively, take Conflux #07 or #03 for another spoor.
  • A Chocobo NPC will appear upon trading Gysahl Greens icon.png Gysahl Greens.
    • Your goal is to sneak up behind the Chocobo NPC and examine it, should it see you, it will get spooked and run away.
    • Chocobos behave the following ways:
      • When a chocobo appears, it runs around, and when it stops, it checks the surroundings.
      • It will run away if it sees a player. It can see through Invisible.
    • After a certain amount of time has elapsed or the Chocobo has spooked too many times, it will run away and you will have to lure it back with another Gysahl Greens icon.png Gysahl Greens, but you need to supply it.
    • There is a minute cool-down before you can get another chocobo to appear.
  • Speak to Brutus (A) after capturing the Chocobo to receive your reward.
    • This can be done in a party and all members will get credit, however members in a different party in an alliance will not.
