Chocobo Mountain Cracks

You can complete the Chocobo Dive Spots side quest after you have obtained the Ocean Ability for your Chocobo by completing the Chocobo Hot & Cold side quest (check that page for more information). Once you have the ability, you can find cracks on the sides of mountains and then use Red Chocobo Food IconDead Peppers to retrieve treasure chests.

You can find the Treasure Chests in the locations listed below.


Mountain Crack #1

The first Mountain Crack can be reached once you get the Blue Narciss on Disc 3. Travel to the Outer Continent (northwestern continent covered in snow) and search the area in the northeast for a crack on the side of the mountain. Open it to receive 41 Dark Purple Gem IconLapis Lazuli, a Red and Bronze Ring IconRosetta Ring, a Green and Silver Ring IconProtect Ring, and an Tetra Master Card IconAirship Card.
