Chocographs

After a few successful games of Chocobo Hot & Cold, Choco should find some Chocographs which Mene suggests point to buried treasure. Out on the world map, call your faithful bird and you can start looking for these treasures in the usual Hot & Cold way. Some treasures will be inaccessible until Choco has gained a certain ability, so always check the Chocograph menu to see if he's up to the job.

Gaining a new ability may "unlock" Chocographs in a previously exhausted venue. If you're told that Choco can't find any more for now, try again after reaching the next stage.

The important twentieth Chocograph is created when you've collected all six Chocograph Pieces, and allows access to the Air Garden.
