InFinal Fantasy VII Rebirth, we get to freely ride chocobos across the open world. So far, we’ve had three of them for each region. So, it’s no surprise that in the mission,“Gearing Up For The Race”, we see our beloved Piko from the Grasslands, alongside ranchhand Billy.
Final Fantasy VII Rebirth: How to Complete the “Stuck in a Rut” Mission
Time to take your new Chocobo for an adventure
Unfortunately, the pair gets lost in the desert and Piko is starving. And, as the very eccentric Solemn Gus demanded of us, we need Piko for the big race at the Gold Saucer. So, we need to getSylkis Greensfor the chocobo,three to be exact.There are six ways to get them, so you can get the required three and then some. Here are all the ways to get the greens, what I’d recommend you do to get the required three, and what to do with the leftovers.
Way 1: Stalkers
You’ll run into these guysright near the bar (Bail Jumper) and the Queen’s Blood players. They’ll tell you to go into an open area to talk, which is a telltale sign that you’re gonna be robbed. Luckily, we’re Cloud Strife and we have a badass sword to take care of business with.
Regardless,slip through the opening in the alley and enter the big area. The trio will attempt to rob you (keyword ATTEMPT) so clean the floor with them. Once you beat them, they’ll give you aSylkis Greenfor your victory.
Way 2: Swindling Seminar
You’ll find this test group near the tournament entrance. Their leader, Conniving Caglio, is teaching a group of people how to professionally lie. In a bit of a twist, he wants us to suss out who’s telling the truth.Listen to each of the subjects and, with the aid of a map, go to each spot and see if they were lying or not.
Now, the downside here is that theresponses are randomly generated, so each playthrough will have differing truths and lies. For me, it was Sloppy Shawn, as he got the title of Solemn Joe’s audiobiography right.ensure to pay attention to the exact wording, as it makes all the difference.
If you have a good feeling you’ve found the correct person, choose them.For every wrong answer, it’ll cost you 500 gil, so choose wisely, and make sure you’ve thoroughly checked that they are, indeed, telling the truth. Regardless of who the truth-speaker is, you’ll be rewarded with aSylkis Greenfor guessing correctly.
Way 3: Cactuar Chase
Go to the bartender at Bail Jumper and he’ll give you the keys to his abandoned garden. The garden islocated at the northern tip of Corel Prison. Once you get there, a Cactuar will appear and steal the last Sylkis Green.Chase him into Bandit’s Bluffand fight your way through some Sandhog Pies and Death Claws.
It’s important to note that you are by yourself, soremember to block when necessary and stock up on some potions and ethers. You’ll also be using yourgrappling hook, solook for any blue circlesand swing away.
Like any good rat race, you’ll come face to face with the culprit. However, they’ve got friends; a lot of friends.Cactuars don’t have any elemental weaknesses, but using your abilities (especially Triple Slash) will pressure and stagger them.They are very strong, with their needle shots packing major damage, somake sure to block and fill up the ATB to perform those abilities.
Once you beat the Cactuars, you’ll get theSylkis Greenand can zipline down to the surface.
Way 4: Queen’s Blood
In order to initiate this quest,talk to the sharp-dressed man at House of Cards across from the Inn. He’ll bring up that he owns a casino that has Queen’s Blood. However, nobody is going since three specific Queen’s Blood scare people off. Of course, that’s bad for business, so Cloud is sent to defeat them.The three players (Mary, Pietro, and Dax) will be near the Bail Jumper and the stalker punks, waiting for opponents.
Now, I don’t consider myself a big Queen’s Blood player, but I beat them pretty easily.I focused on taking up territory so that your opponent won’t be able to move much.Make sure you have cards that can occupy a lot of spacewhen placed, like Security Officer and Crawler.
When you beat the three, report back to the card collector, and he’ll give you aSylkis Greenfor your win.
Way 5: Beast Battleground
The Beast Battleground is hidden in plain sight.Look for the big pipe hole near the swindlersand go down the ladder. Then,talk to the gatekeeper and enter the Sylkis Cup tournament. There are three rounds, each getting progressively difficult. However, if you’re at a decent level and have access, you’re good to go.
The round enemies are as follows:
Round 1 is two Ignilisks and one Grassland Wolf (use your abilities).
Round 2 is a Bagnadrana (weak to ice).
Round 3 is Test 0 (weak to fire).
Do all that and you’ll win yourself aSylkis Green. Also, if you’re doing the Swindling Seminar, note if the name of the final boss (Test 0) matches up with Blowhard George’s answers.
Way 6: Desert Rush
Returning fromFinal Fantasy VII Remake, the box-breaking game from the Sector 5 slums is back(located right across Piko’s holding spot)in a new yet similar fashion. Yes,you still break boxes for pointsbut there are a few extra steps.The most notable are electric bolt boxes, which, when broken, will let you hit the metal boxes with the corresponding number of electric bolts.
Aim for the electric bolt boxes right away so you can get access to more of the area.While many may say to go for the big boxes,I’d emphasize hitting the smaller ones first since they’re easy to destroy and help to up your points.Also, destroy all the time boxes you see, as doing so will allow you to go back and hit the large boxes. For those,use Triple Slash and Punisher Mode to unleash large damage and break them quickly.
If done right, you’ll earn theSylkis Greenafter hitting 15000.
Recommended ways and leftover greens
Personally,the easiest route is Desert Rush, Stalkers, and Swindling Seminar. They don’t take too long and aren’t fighting-focused outside of the punks. If you’re good at Queen’s Blood,I’d recommend doing it in place of Desert Rush or Swindling Seminarsince it’s not too hard and can be quick depending on your skill level.
If you have leftover greens,go to Esther, who’s located where Piko is, and you can trade them in for new gear for Piko. Some new looks for a few greens ain’t a bad deal, especially for the upcoming race.
