Alright everyone, it's me, yours truly, 'Mr. has three posts and they are all about the chocobo secrets mystery'. I don't see any posts or videos about this subject which is sad. Trying to solve mysteries like that reminds me of being 10 y.o. at night trying to find stuff about my favorite RPGs. It's a nice feeling, trying to explore this mystery. Anyway I'll try to give some ideas because I'm struggling to figure it out alone, and maybe my ideas spark a fire in your minds as well.
First, judging by Sega Chief's response, this is actually something you can actually complete in this game. I must be pretty close with the 'Forgotten in a house: Daze for key cards' secret. There is 2 ways I see it. I'm pretty convinced it's something you have to use a dazer on. Now I'm not sure if it is meant to be a Hell House, because after dazing it, it didn't have any different steal/morph/drop items. Either the white letters refer to places, such as 'Whirling in winds' being Whirlwind Maze (or somewhere else) or if they refer to enemies, such as maybe the Formula mobs, those kinda whirl in winds, or maybe bats which move around like crazy in the air. But as for the red letters I think those are referring to items. 'HEAD WALK CAST MUTE' maybe mute refers to Mute Mask, 'DAZE FOR KEY CARDS' is maybe a Dazer, 'GIVE SPECTRAL BILE LUCK' maybe is a Lucky Pill? Although I'm still not sure why the U in LUCK is gray instead of red. Is that even intentional or an error? And 'HERO KING DROWNED IN WOE' maybe refers to a Hero drink, either the classic version or the fake Hero drink II. I have a couple of ideas but I don't have clues for everything. For instance, is there an enemy trapped in sand? Only one I can think of is Ruby Weapon. I've no idea what 'Sealed in buried rock' means. Only buried thing that comes to mind is the archeological site but I think that that's a miss. I've also been thinking, maybe you do in fact have to Dazer a Hell House, but the reason it didn't work for me is because you perhaps have to do it in order? Like first I gotta do the 'Trapped in the sand: HEAD WALK CAST MUTE' part. I've been visiting a lot of places and trying different things but no dice... I should mention that after I Dazer'd a Hell House and stealing and morphing it, I got no key cards or whatever, the silver chocobo dialogue was the exact same and the 4 red save points all remained inert.
Any idea you guys might have, even if it sounds silly to you, just say it. Something you say, even if it's wrong, might make someone else think of something.
I know Sega Chief wants us to solve this, because I know damn well that most of the fun of creating a puzzle comes from people solving it, and not the creation of it. I don't exactly want his help, as that ruins the fun for both me and him.
But I do have to ask you something, Sega Chief, you don't have to be exactly clear with it. For me to be able to stay determined, not quit, and keep trying I need to know 2 things.
1) Is this something that can be done post game,like after being the weapons and everything. Or are you able to complete it only when you first run through some areas. I wouldn't mind replaying the game if I have to, since like I said the gameplay is varied and fun,but if I've been trying to solve it on disc 3 and part of the puzzle is in areas such as 'Corel prison' , 'Temple of the Ancients' or 'Whirlwind Maze' or against a boss that I can't fight again then that's gonna suck. Can I do this on disk 3 alone, or does it rely on One-time-event scripts.
And 2) Does something happen when I complete a step? Like let's say I did indeed had to Dazer a Hell House, how do I know that that was correct? Is there any indicator? I don't want you to tell me what the indicator is, I just want to know if there is a change somewhere. Could be anything from getting an item or an individual save point lighting up, etc. I just want to know if an indicator of success exists. And if so, does each individual secret have it's own indicator revealing I did something right? Or do I have to do ALL 4 STEPS and ONLY THEN something happens. Because if I have to do every step of the secret correctly and only then something changes then I'm doomed to fail lol, since it is virtually impossible to know which of the things I've done are correct and which are not.
Any sort of answer/encouragement to continue is appreciated.
