In each region of Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, you’ll need to wrangle a Chocobo to help you get around. In the game’s first area, the Grasslands, you’ll be tasked with nabbing the yellow Chocobo Piko. Here’s how to catch Piko in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth
Once you’ve received the quest to go get Piko from Billy, head to the marker on your map. Once you get here you’ll have to complete a stealth minigame to get to Piko.
When the game starts, you’ll see Piko in the distance, but you’ll need to get past two other yellow Chocobos first.
To get past the first one, just stay behind it and use the tall grass to hide in. You can use the circle button to roll if you need to get out of dodge quickly.
You can do the same thing for ths econd Chocobo you pass, however, you’ll need to wait for it to turn its back. Just have some patience and strike once it’s no longer looking in your direction.
Once you get to the tall grass before Piko, you’ll be able to pick up rocks on the ground. These are used to throw and distract Piko. You’ll be able to get it to turn its back on you for a short duration. This will give you just enough time to run up to it and hit the triangle button to mount it.
Use the L1 button to throw the rock and aim it away from you and Piko. A bar will show up on Piko’s head to indicate how much time you have before it turns back around. Luckily, you have plenty of time to make it to Piko before it looks your way again.
Once you’ve mounted it with the triangle button, you’ll have completed the minigame and will be free to use Piko to traverse the Grasslands.
That’s everything you need to know about how to catch Piko the Chocobo in the Grasslands. For more tips and tricks check out our Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth hub page
