How to Find Cactuar Guide

How to Find Cactuar
1	After the Cactuar steals the Greens from you, swing across the ledge using your Grappling Hook, and then climb up the wall.

3	Swing across the cliff using your Grappling Hook, and then jump on the wall before going down to the platform.
4	From here, you will notice two tunnels on the west and east sides. Enter the west tunnel, and you will reach another open area with a couple of enemies.

How to Win Chocobo Cup

1. Pick up the power-ups that you come across during the race. Try to prioritize getting the speed power-ups (Blue Balloon) to maintain high speed.
