How to Get the Ark in "FF9"
- 1). Go to the Chocobo Forest, located outside Lindblim's Dragon Gate.
- 2). Give a Gyshal Green to Choco.
- 3). Dig around on the Mist Continent to find Chocographs. These are items that appear at random which can be used to teach Choco new abilities or to enhance his abilities. Because they are found at random, there is no way to know exactly how to find these pieces; simply dig around until you find all 24 of them.
- 4). Use the Fly ability to reach the Air Garden.
- 5). Equip the strongest items that you have on your best characters.
- 6). Purchase six Dark Matters from the auction house in Treno.
- 7). Go to the back edge of the garden and examine the cave.
- 8). Agree to fight Ozma.
- 9). Have all of your characters throw one of the Dark Matters at Ozma. This will deal over 59,000 damage to Ozma and eliminate him. You will be rewarded with the Pumice, which can be used to summon the Ark.
