Wondering how to call chocobo in Final Fantasy 16? Though Clive has the fleet-footed stamina to run the length of Valisthea and back, nothing beats mounting a feathery friend and gallivanting across open fields and down cobbled paths. If anything, it’s a nod to an FF staple and the game wouldn’t be complete with the presence of chocobos in one form or another.
We’ll outline how to call your chocobo in Final Fantasy 16. If you’ve yet to unlock Ambrosia, here’s how to get a chocobo in Final Fantasy 16. Though a chocobo offers a speedy way to explore, it’s also worth unlocking all the Final Fantasy 16 Obelisk locations to make getting around even more efficient.
How to summon a chocobo in Final Fantasy 16
To call your chocobo Ambrosia in Final Fantasy 16, hold down the R3 button. You’ll see a small circle with a chocobo head at its centre appear on screen. Keep pressing down until the circle fills and the chocobo will spawn, accompanied by a jaunty little ditty.
Note that you can’t summon a chocobo everywhere in Final Fantasy 16. It’s only possible out in the wild, beyond the limit of ‘safe zones’ such as towns and villages like Martha’s Rest and The Hideaway. This also applies to certain story quests. When you’re in an area where you can call your chocobo, you’ll see a message pop up in the bottom right on your screen – ‘Chocobo (Hold) R3.’ Once the chocobo appears, approach it and tap X to mount.
That covers how to call a chocobo in Final Fantasy 16.
