Bill's Chocobo Ranch, Shopkeeper Chloe, Tracing the Tracks, Chocobo Wrangling, and Home on the Range are quests in Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, taking place in the Grasslands Region during Chapter 2, "A New Journey Begins". While exploring the grasslands and reaching an abandoned dock, they found they were unable to pass through without a chocobo. Seeing signs for Bill's ranch, the party decided to head there in search of a chocobo to continue their journey.
Walkthrough[]
Bill's Chocobo Ranch[]
After the quest begins, follow the road from the dock northwest up to Bill's ranch. Outside, a quick cutscene begins with Bill, and then the ranch can be entered. This is the first of many chocobo ranches found throughout the game, where each region will have one chocobo ranch. Along with their other uses, ranches are a great place to use the bench to heal, the vending machine for items, and the Maghnata machine for folios.
Shopkeeper Chloe[]
Head to the barn, and after a cutscene speaking to Billy, speak to Chloe. To her right is the 
Timeless Rod weapon for Aerith Gainsborough 
, which teaches her the Chrono Aegis ability, a defensive ability that can 
Stop enemies near Aerith. As well as this weapon, a ladder upstairs leads to a chest with a moogle medal 
. Speaking to Chloe will begin some dialogue followed by the next objective.
Chloe is one of many chocobo ranch tack shops which sell gear for chocobos in exchange for golden plumes. These are earned by restoring chocobo stops found around the various regions, and the discovery quest "Golden Plumes" is also unlocked to further explain this mechanic. The tack shop also sells various materials used for the Item Transmuter.
Tracing the Tracks[]
The next objective is to find the grassland region's chocobo, Piko. To begin, follow the chocobo tracks on the road outside the ranch. These will lead around a southeast path to where Piko, and other chocobos, can be found, although a few enemies may be fought on the way.
Chocobo Wrangling[]
This quest is the first of many Chocobo Intel objectives used to obtain the region's chocobo. In these objectives, the player must approach the target chocobo without being noticed by the chocobos nearby. This means using hiding spots and throwing stones to distract them.
In this area, there are two other chocobo to sneak past first. The chocobos will not detect Cloud when he is hidden amongst the grass, meaning he only needs to sneak past them in the areas between. The first will face one way and does not turn around, meaning it can be avoided by sneaking behind it. The second will turn around every now and then, giving the opportunity to quickly sneak past to the next batch of grass when it is turned.
Piko will normally be facing toward the grass in front, but the grass contains several rocks. Picking one up and throwing it behind Piko will cause Piko to be distracted, giving the opportunity to sneak up on Piko and wrangle.
Home on the Range[]
Wrangling Piko will lead to a short cutscene. Heading back to the ranch and speaking to Billy will lead to a cutscene and complete the quest, unlocking the next, "Downtime".
