Help [FFX-2] I need help at the Chocobo Ranch

[PhoenyxAngel]

Can anyone help me with FFX-2? How can I open up the secret cave underneath the chocobo ranch? I found two different ways on the internet: Send three level 5's to the Calm Lands and the other says to send 3 different leveled chocobos to the Calm Lands.

Also, I am trying to raise the chocobos to level 5 in case I have to send them all to the Calm lands but I can't get any fresh greens from Clasko. Note: I can level them up to 5, I checked so that's not the problem. They are able to level up to five but I can't feed them any greens to do so because there are none left. How the heck do I get more?

Thanks

Edit: Thanks for moving it to the right forum.

Now that I looked over the Nutrive Greens I realized neither Yuna nor Clasko have any Mimett Greens. Where do I get more? I keep going out into battles because I heard that Clasko restocks but he's not doing it. lol. Can someone please help?

If Clasko isn't restocking Mimett Greens, it's because you need to change the nutriative greens ratio. Seeing as how you need more of the Sylkis Greens, I generally use a ratio of 30%, 30%, 40%. If you need one more than another, simply raise the percentage of that, then Clasko will stock more of that than the others. It'll take him a little while to stock up a decent amount (it's dependent on battles, more battles, more stock).

As for the secret cave, this is really hit or miss with me. Basically you have to send out 3 chocobos of each level (3 level 1's, 3 level 2's, etc), then after the level 5's return, send them out again and they find the dungeon when they return. I've had a tough time getting this to land at times as well. I think what I did was send them to the Calm Lands. I think it's actually required that you have to leave at least 1 runner there too, but not totally sure.

Anyways, good luck with this! This sidequest has tested my patience a lot, and hopefully you'll get it quickly and not rip your hair out like I have in time with this

Thanks, I'll try your tips before I completely skip this sidequest. I keep changing the greens ratio but everytime I went back Clasko didn't really stock any more greens. Is there a certain amount of battles in between visits to the chocobo ranch that would be a good amount? If you don't really know that's fine.

If I can't get it then I'll just try again whenever I replay the game.

Too late for that.

I've done this and it's the same as Stang says.

Send out three level ones, then level twos and so on.

It takes a lot of patience and the reward isn't as exciting as it could be but I'm a perfectionist. Trust me, it's not the easiest dungeon to open.

I was actually sending out four chocobos at I time I believe, just to make sure. >_> You might wanna try that too just to be on the safe side. I also saved everytime before seeing if the choco's had returned/dispatching again.

Patience. You're going to need it.

It takes something like 8 random battles after you dispatch chocobos for them to return. After you return, he should have some greens stocked up. But with my ratio's, he'll only have like 6 of the 30%'s and 8 of the 40%'s or something like that, so it stocks slowly. If for whatever reason he isn't stocking them, I'd think that either you're not choosing the right option (as for what to talk to Clasko about) or you're possibly not on Chapter 5 yet? I think you have to be on Chapter 5 in order to stock Mimett and Sylkis Greens, but I'm not totally sure on that. Another thing I'm not totally sure about is if you can actually buy greens somewhere, like a special shop or something.

As Rubedo said, I also dispatched all 4 runners at once. And make sure to save before talking to Clasko to make sure they return (I'm sure you don't want to go hunt down more level 5 capable chocobo's, thats more hair pulling). Try a few different combinations once you've dispatched all your chocobos to assure that you open the dungeon. Send all 4 out, send 1 out and one of the times the dungeon will unlock. But like Rubedo said, it's necessary for a perfectionist/completionist, but if you don't care enough about that then it's probably not worth it overall, but it doesn't hurt to give it a shot anyway.

I'm on Chapter 5 now. But it seems he never stocks up on Mimett and somehow Yuna doesn't have any either. I was wondering if there were certain fiends who drop them during battle because I would prefer going after them than dealing with Clasko. lol.

Yeah, I kinda am. But as I said before I already know I'm not going to get 100% (I forgot to investigate the stupid Moogle during the beginning of the game). I'll probably play the game again after I play FFX again.

Patience. You're going to need it.

Unfortunately that's one thing I don't have. lol. Thanks everyone for the tips



Update: Finally got it. Thanks everyone Now I need to beat Trema......
