How to get Nibelheim Chocobo in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth
You need to find the Intel: Feathered Waverunners Chocobo location and then complete a new mini-game to get the Nibelheim Chocobo in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth. The Nibelheim Chocobo Intel is located just southeast of the airstrip, across from a Remnawave Tower.
It’s important to get the Nibelheim Chocobo as early as possible, as you can’t access certain areas of Nibelheim without using its Chocojet ability to shoot water underneath and propel yourself high into the air.
How to catch Nibelheim Chocobo in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth
You must complete a new type of Chocobo-fighting mini-game before you can catch Selena, the Chocobo of Nibelheim. Instead of using minecarts to make your way to Selena, you have to cast a chocobo bait and guide it between the spiky green plants. These plants disappear for a short time, leaving Selena to walk through them to the next area.
However, if Selena fills the red circular bar above her head by hitting too many plants, she will run away and you will have to try the mini-game again. Fortunately, there are checkpoints in certain locations that reset the Chocobo’s red bar and start the minigame higher, so you don’t need to go back to the beginning.
To start, head up the hill towards Selena’s location and pick up a few pieces of Chocobo bait near the edge of the cliff. Then, throw a Chocbo bait close enough to Selena to make her follow Chocobo’s tracks in the ground.
On this first line of thorny plants, get Selena close enough to them without hitting any, then throw the Chocobo bait just before a section disappears to guide Selena to the other side. At this point you will unlock your first checkpoint.
Do the same for the next row of plants: place Selena near them by guiding her with the bait, then throw another bait on the other side just before a section of plants disappears to guide her away. ‘other side.
Now guide her back to the Chocobo tracks with the bait to unlock another checkpoint. This next part involves a quick throw, so watch the pattern of the plants going up and down if you need help determining the timing.
When the first small section of plants falls, throw a bait to place Selena on top of it, then almost immediately aim to the left and throw another bait, just before the next section of plants is about to fall.
Wait a few seconds, then cast another bait again on the secure patch near the tracks, just before the plants are about to disappear.
Guide Selena a little higher with bait, then throw bait to the next patch of plants in the middle, when they disappear.
Throw out another bait when the next clump of plants disappears.
Wait a bit, then cast a bait onto the secure ground when the last section of plants disappears,
All you have to do is guide Selena into the patch of grass at the bottom of the hill, then sneak around to finally catch the Nibelheim Chocobo!
