Instead of wasting a tent on old Gizamaluke just use Soul Blade with Zidane. You have to have the Ogre weapon though (just buy it in Lindblum). Soul Blade will blind Giz and make most of his physical attacks useless and that means less healing.

Go play Chocobo Hot and Cold, dig out the treasures.

Start out by playing your game in the Chocobo's Forest.

Keep digging until there's no more Chocograph left. The last Chocograph you will get is Chocograph #4, which will let Choco gain the Reef Ability.

Get your Reef Ability first.

Go to Chocobo's Lagoon. keep digging until there's no more Chocograph left. The last Chocograph you will get is Chocograph #12, which will let Choco gain the Mt(Mountain) Ability

Get your Mt Ability first.

Go to Chocobo's Forest. Keep digging until there's no more Chocograph left. The last Chocograph you will get is Chocograph #14,which will let Choco gain the Ocean Ability.

Get your Ocean Ability first.

Go to Chocobo's Lagoon. Keep digging for the remaining Chocographs and Chocograph pieces. Once you have all the six Chocograph pieces,
Chocograph #20 will appear, which will let Choco gain the Sky Ability.

Get your Sky Ability first.

Solve the 'mystery' of the six Chocograph pieces. Find Chocobo's Air Garden.

Dig in Chocobo's Air Garden to find the last three Chocographs.

Maybe, it is the time to search for the Dead Pepper treasures. Or you might visit to Fat Chocobo in Chocobo's Paradise.

Not all of the time. I can't remember what the chances are, but make sure to save as close to the boss as you can, just in case it dosen't work.

What does a dead pepper actually do?

If you give it to a chocobo over bubbles in the sea or in front of cracks in the rocks, it will find the treasures hidden there. If you give it to your chocobo while flying under the shadow indicated on the map, you can go to the place where you find the last chocographies and fight Ozma.

They do something in battle too, but it's been long enough that i can't remember.

I think they deal damage.

You do it by playing the Chocobo Hot and Cold. There's a chest that you get that'll transform you.

Just go find the chocographs. The one you need to find to transform Choco is Healing Shores. That one will get you the Reef Chocobo

If you want to do it this way then u can go to mofunzone.com gamecheats ffIX click on strategy guide 2. It has all the info that u need on the chocobos.

Is it too late if I start just before I go to Terra?

No, I think that's actually the best time.

Yeah the chocobo sidequest is throughout the whole game.
