    How do Chocobo Knights work exactly? I made one last night, and I don't have a clue how to make him do anything besides basic attack.

    Do you have a chocobo, yet?

    Fight a chocobo, and weaken it to low health. Have the chocobo knight stand next to it, and you get an option to mount the chocobo. Once you do, you can then use that chocobo's attacks.

    I weakened a chocobo to low health, and my CK never got an option to mount it. The chocobo was affected by Sleep; does that make a difference?

    Once you mount a chocobo, do you only gain its abilities for that particular battle or do you have to catch a chocobo in every battle?

    I'm not sure, but it being asleep may have been the problem.

    You keep the chocobo for as long as you want to keep it. So you can go ahead and mount a red chocobo and keep it forever, if you want.

    It can't be under any status effect to Mount. Much like life.

    Chocobo Knights are so poorly designs that it boggles the mind. They have great speed and can use almost any bladed weapon in the game, but they don't have any native skills and they can't have a secondary skill if you want to be able to use them for what they are designed for. It's retarded. If they could set a secondary skill and still be able to Mount, they would be immensely kickass. I'd put one on a Red Chocobo and give him Animist skills and use him in every battle.

    Against higher level enemies I'm starting to realize Red may not have been the wisest choice. It's doing like 100 damage, which is pitiful compared to the fact he could be running around giving buffs and MP with a White Chocobo. I may switch soon...

    I still find them more useful than

    The Ranchers Requests missions are driving me insane. I'm up to the Green Chocobo. The Open Mouths battle in Zedlei has two of them, and the idiots threw themselves at my Bonecrushing Gria at Critical Heath instead of healing themselves.

    For that reason Reraise and an Arcanist's Graviga are your friends. Learning Roulette from Ahrimans was a pain unlike any I have experienced.

    Here's the locations of all the Chocobos, in case people are having trouble finding them:

    Type of Chocobo: Mission Name, Location, (Requirements to Unlock Mission)

    White Chocobo: A Bewitching Encounter, Rupie Mountains (Complete Pirate Problems)

    excuse the double post, but you have to get them into HP Critical range, and they can't be under ANY status effect (buffs don't count).

    How do I fully kill undead creatures? I get them down to 0HP and they turn into a tombstone before coming back (at full health, no less) and kicking my arse.

    Archers, White Monks and Paladins have abilities that destroy undead and prevent them from coming back.

    Barring that, try to get them all close together and double Maduin/Phoenix their asses. Eventually they'll all be dead together and you'll win.

    You can also use a Phoenix Down on the tombstone to destroy it permanently.

    All undead take damage from "Cure" items and spells. Cure, Cura, Potions, Hi-Potions, Phoenix Downs, and I guess Raise too.

    Nu Mou/Bangaa of the Rupies, you just have to do both missions 3 times to get the Rivalry of the Rupies mission to appear, correct?

    Well, I've passed 100 hours and 250 missions. I just got Vaan, Penelo, and Frimelda, and unlocked Heritor for Adelle.

    Haven't got a chance to use any of them yet. Penelo's dancer class seems to be focused on buffing. Vaan is a Sky Pirate, he can steal and stuff. Frimelda's just another Hume, and Heritor seems really cool. I like to story to it.

    I'm really impressed by how good some of the side storylines are. There have been some really great ones so far.

    I love this game, I played for 10 hours straight yesterday. I just passed 80 hours on this last night and I have Luso @ level 60, +-170 quests completed.

    I'm having a bitch of a time acquiring new guns and bows to MASTER my ranged classes. By far my favorite classes. I love Charming, Disabling and Stopping everything I can reach. It's almost like playing god.

    Have you tried having a few green mages in the group as well, spamming Tranq so you have an additional 30% chance of doing all those debuffs?

    pretty much how I got thru the 2nd Brightmoon tor, a hasted, tranq Assassian/Sniper and Spellblade/Elementalist, insta KO-ing, dooming, sleeping, and disabling everyone within reach.

    Are you supposed to fill out the entire quest grid if you do all the sidequests? I still have a bunch of holes, and I figure I'm pretty close to done (something like 270 quests completed).

    I need to do the second brightmoon tor, the first wasn't so bad.

    Also a doublecasting summoner (blood price) rocks the shit out of tourney battles. They're alway set up so you can hit 5 guys at once in the beginning.

    Some quests are only available on certain days after you have met the prerequisites for them, so you might need to kill time to get to the appropriate day for the quest.

    How certain? I've got all the Tournaments done now, which are only available a certain month in certain cities.

    I just need a checklist I think.

    This game isn't notably difficult. You'd manage Hard, I'd imagine.
