How to catch the Junon Chocobo in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth

To catch the Junon Chocobo in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth you need to use the various carts around the area to hide from the Chocobos to get to the target without being seen. If you get caught by any of the Chocobos, they will all run and you'll have to start again or from your most recent checkpoint in the minigame.

Your target is Belle, the brown Chocobo on the far side of the area:

When the minigame begins, look to your right and you should see a switch here and a small track going past a couple of Chocobos. Carefully move to the switch, then press and hold Triangle to activate it. Once the cart behind the switch starts to move along you need to slowly walk alongside it to avoid being seen by the Chocobos here.

Once you get to the other end of this track you should be able to see another switch to your left. Activate it then turn so that you're facing the opposite direction of the first cart you used, you should see that a cart is coming along the tracks now. Pick up the rocks near the switch too as you will need these.

Wait for the cart to stop rolling and then move so that you're hidden by the cart while facing the switch you've just activated.

From here, use L1 to aim at the switch and when you're confident it will hit it, use Square to throw a rock. Hit it right and the switch will activate. Stay behind the cart as it moves and follow it to the end of the tracks.

At the end of the tracks look left and you should see another cart with a scattering of rocks in front of it. Cross to this cart slowly while picking up the rocks on the way. Belle is on the left of this next area but you cannot instantly sneak across to her, you will get caught. You need to take the long way around with the cart.

Once you're behind the cart, look opposite you and you should see another switch in the middle of the area. As you did earlier, use L1 and Square to aim at the switch and throw a rock at it. Once the switch has been activated, the cart will start moving to the right and you need to move with it.

This is where things get a bit fiddly. For the first bit of the track you'll want to stay where you are and simply follow the cart, but as you turn the first corner you need to move cloud so that he's in front of the cart with the Chocobo behind it on the other side like in the image below:

Then, once you and the cart are safely past the stack of pallets, you need to quickly move Cloud so that he's behind the shorter end of the cart like in the image below.

You'll only be here briefly. As soon as the cart starts to turn the corner and you're confident it will cover you, move Cloud so that he's on the long side of the cart again with the next Chocobo on the opposite side.

Now, keep your eyes peeled for a patch of long grass next to a pallet stack in the middle of the area. Roll into it and wait for the cart to move past you.

As the end of the cart goes past you, quickly use Circle to roll behind it and then move Cloud so that he's positioned against the long side of the cart with Belle on the other side like in the image below:

Follow the cart around the corner and once you're behind Belle, exit the safety of the cart and slowly sneak up behind her. As soon as the prompt appears, press Triangle to mount and wrangle Belle!
