How to Ride a Chocobo in FF13
"Final Fantasy XIII" has three game discs with countless hours of wide-open gameplay. Chocobos are creatures that can carry you on their backs while being able to sniff out treasure, but they aren't accessible right away. You'll need to complete the first 14 game missions before the ability to ride a chocobo is unlocked.

Go to the chocobo pond next to the Mark 12 stone to watch a cutscene. A battle will begin immediately after this scene. The enemies are weak against fire and thunder attacks, so using them and "Haste" to speed up your characters will be enough to win the battle and finish the mission.
