Chocographs are locations of treasure found around the world
map. You need to be on Choco, in order to access the Chocograph menu. Once inside the menu, select the Chocograph you wish
to look for. If done correctly, the image will then appear above the world map. Now you need to find the location that is
the same as the image in the Chocograph. To begin looking for the treasures, you need only press the same button, as you
would if you were digging in the Chocobo areas with Mene. And as with these areas, you will know when you are close to the
treasure. Choco will either say Kweh, KWEH!, or KWEEEH! Once you find the treasure chest, the treasure is yours. That Chocograph
will no longer be useful, and Choco will not try to look for it again. Simply select a new Chocograph to hunt for.
There are four chests that contain level up abilities for Choco. When you find one of these chests, you will be put to sleep.
Choco will then travel to the Chocobo Dream World. Here he will encounter the Fat Chocobo, which will grant him a new ability.
Your abilities for Choco are: Reef, Mountain, Ocean, and Sky. The reef ability allows you to travel across shallow waters. The
mountain ability gives Choco the ability to climb mountains around the world. With the Ocean ability, you will be able
to travel across the deep water. And lastly, the sky ability will grant you the ability to fly in the air. You can only
take off and land in forests with this ability. You can also find the Chocobo Air Gardens, and Paradise. The only way to
get the Chocograph that gives you the Sky ability, is to collect 6 Chocograph pieces found in the forest and lagoon. There
is a small catch. You must have completed the main story up to the point of getting the Hilda Garde 3, or the final two Chocographs
will not appear. On the left is a complete rundown of what Chocographs you will get in each location. Below is the markers
and treasures of what you will get from each Chocograph. For an exact location, just click the number of the marker you wish
to see. |

Once you have gotten all the Chocographs and hidden treasures, return to Chocobo's Paradise. Speak with Fat Chocobo as you
would to challenge him to Tetra Master, and he will give you a Fat Chocobo card. Speak to him again, and he will tell you
to visit every beach in the world. Humor yourself, and do it. At each beach, press the square button. Once you hit the square
button on all 22 beaches, you will get a message, and your HP/MP will be restored. You will also lose any status effects.
And from then on, any time you are close to a beach, and hit the square button, you will be healed. Not too bad eh?
