Chocographs

The Chocograph side quest runs hand in hand with the Chocobo Hot & Cold side quest. You can find individual Chocographs by digging them up in the Chocobo’s Forest, the Chocobo’s Lagoon and the Chocobo’s Air Garden. More and more Chocographs become available as your Chocobo levels up and obtains more abilities (which they can also do by hunting and finding more Chocographs).

A full list of the Chocographs and their locations is included below. Note that you need to find an ability in order to be able to dig up some of the Chocographs, which means that you have to return to the Chocobo’s Forest and the Chocobo’s Lagoon later on in the game after you have obtained the required abilities.

Note that you muse select the Chocograph from the Chocograph menu in order to dig it up once you reach the right location.
