Wiz Chocobo Hunts

Master Final Fantasy XV's Wiz Chocobo Hunts! Get strategies, locations, and rewards for Voretooths, Deadeye, Mindflayers, Thunder Bombs, and the mighty Behemoth Tyrant.

Alright, let's talk about the Wiz Chocobo Hunts in Final Fantasy XV! These are basically special monster bounties you can pick up at various eateries around Lucis. They're a fantastic way to earn some extra Gil, get some sweet items, and boost your Hunter Rank. Think of them as mini-boss challenges scattered across the world.

Here's a breakdown of the hunts available, what you're up against, and what you'll get for your trouble:

Red in Tooth and Claw: These Voretooths are pretty common, especially in the Duscae region. If you've been exploring, you've probably already tangled with them. They're like beefed-up Sabertusks. The hunt is set for level 12. They don't like polearms, shields, or ice attacks, but they'll resist fire and holy damage.

A Behemoth Undertaking: This hunt is tied to the 'Friends of a Feather' sidequest, which kicks off when you reach Coernix Station - Alstor early in Chapter 3. For more details on this specific encounter, you'll want to check out that sidequest's section.

Exorcism of the Nebulawood: This is another nighttime hunt, so be extra cautious when heading out. You might run into tougher demons like Iron or Red Giants. You'll find these three Mindflayers southeast of The Nebulawood parking spot. If you've cleared the Greyshire Glacial Grotto in Chapter 3, you've met these guys before. Watch out for their grab attack – it hits hard! They're level 19 and are weak to polearms, daggers, lightning, and holy, but they're strong against ice.

Thunder in Them Thar Hills: You'll need Hunter Rank 3 for this one. As the name implies, these Thunder Bombs are completely immune to lightning magic, so forget about using that. You can find them just outside the entrance to Fociaugh Hollow, a dungeon you'll visit in Chapter 5. If you're not that far yet, they're southeast of Killiam Haven. These level 21 bombs are weak to swords, daggers, and holy. Be super careful, because Bombs love to self-destruct, especially when they're low on health. Focus on one at a time and keep an eye on them when they start getting bigger – that's usually a sign they're about to blow!

Fighting Bombs can be pretty intense, especially with their self-destruct moves that deal massive damage. Just stay focused and try to take them down one by one.

A Most Behemoth Undertaking: This is a tough one! You need Hunter Rank 8 and you must have completed the earlier 'A Behemoth Undertaking' hunt. The Behemoth Tyrant hangs out in the exact same spot as Deadeye, but you can head straight for it – just go to the area with all the barrels. This Tyrant is pretty much like the other Behemoths you've fought, including Deadeye, with the same attacks. At level 62, it has a whopping 236,800 HP! It's weak to greatswords and shields, but strong against fire and holy. You'll want to dodge its attacks as much as possible because they hit like trucks; one hit might put you in Danger status depending on your HP. Keep an eye out for its tail attacks, especially if you're trying to stick to its rear. It also has two attacks that will prompt a block, and one of those can even lead to a cool counter-attack where Noctis jumps off its horns!
