Esoteric Secrets of the Elders in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth: Walkthrough

To start Esoteric Secrets of the Elders in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, you must first acquire the quest from the Community Notice board in Nidelheim. Then, follow these steps:

• Head to the Chocobo Sage's Manor, which is marked on the map. Here, you will find Billy, and he will task you to find and capture Selena the Cocobo.
• To find Selena, you must make your way southeast of the Airstrip. The trick to catching this Chocobo is to perch yourself on the top of a cliff that is close by. Now, throw a bait down and maneuver Selena through the race course.
• It will take you a while to complete this part of the quest, but once you have Serena standing in the long grass, sneak up to her and capture her. Now, head back to the Chocobo Sage’s Manor to receive the second part of the quest.
• The next part of the Esoteric Secrets of the Elders' quest in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth is to deliver some Chocograss. You will need 30 tufts of it, to be exact. You can collect them from various parts of Nibelheim. You will find tufts floating above water bodies, so just fly up and collect them.
• The final part of the quest is to beat the sage in a Chocobo Race. It’s one of the hardest races in the game, and it might take you a few attempts to beat the master.

Once you have won the race, you will have completed Esoteric Secrets of the Elders in FF7 Rebirth and strengthened your bond with Yuffie.
