Chocobo Challenge

[konage]

Running with perfect stats? Im stuck there also but my chocobo is only R280.

I can pass the first challenge with Pedigree 2 F (grade 1 M + grade 9 F).

This makes me feel better. I used the best breeder chocobo I could get (like you did) and will have a pedigree 2 chocobo to start racing with today. Hopefully I will have the same success you did!

Where do you start the challenge races? I only see the normal ones.

I think you need to have a rating of 41 to see the first challenge.

Ah. Mines at 40, lol. It's pedigree 3 though so it shouldn't take too long to get to the right level.

What's your build? With a stamina and speed focused build I win like 90% of the time on the last challenge, and I don't even touch the other named NPCs as I'm ahead of them the whole time. Make sure to dodge the obstacles and stuff, and use some strategy when going for chests (like if you're ahead, let them have the briar so they fight each other).

Remember that you can also switch your learned ability to almost any other ability from the feed trader (almost since I think the last challenge unlocks some of the final ones), so maybe try some other abilities.

The 271 challenge is a bit ridiculous. 19/20 stars with max stat in speed, endurance and stamina, I've failed every time 20+ times. It's completely RNG dependent to give you a stamina tablet or a restore, and even then if you don't keep your finger on the accelerate button, you stand no chance at coming in first.

I understand difficulty, but my rating is 295 and this thing is just 271. I feel bad for people that wanted the barding. It's not gonna be simple at all. And I already had this bird!

i had 20/20 stars.... but to win this race you NEED max speed, cunning and enough stamina to sprint the whole race from start to finish. my chocobo only had 470 speed and 286 cunning. i put more into the stamina stats so i can use headstart. was an awesome build for R300, but way to slow for the last challange...

I made a video of my challenge runs. You can find my chocobo's build at the time linked in this video:

And you can find my challenge 15 race here:

I've done the last challenge a few more times afterwards and I have a 95% ish win rate with this build.

that cunning probably killed you, and if your speed is higher than your endurance you end up running out of stamina faster
