Chocobo Eater Boss Battle Guide

Details

Chocobo Eater Boss Fight
There is a mini-game involved in this boss fight. Chocobo Eater can push the team backwards, if the team gets pushed twice, everyone falls of the cliff and the battle is lost. The same goes for the Chocobo Eater. Pushing the Chobo Eater three times from the battle's starting position will make the boss fall over the cliff and will win you the fight.

Chocobo Eater Falls Over

Chocobo eater pushed from the cliff
If chocobo eater takes enough damage, It falls over and loses its armored status. Dealing 1201 damage in quick succession can make the boss flip over and another 501 to push it back.

Defeating the Chocobo Eater by pushing it off the cliff will give you x2 Lv. 1 Key Sphere which is really valuable at this stage of the game.

Losing the Mini-Game

Chocobo Eater
Falling of from the cliff will not result in a game over but you won't be getting rewards for the battle and some chocobos will die (poor birds).

Moveset

Chocobo Eater has one strong move which is Fist of Fury. Fist of Fursy deals massive damage to its target but it gives a warning by saying You're next

Strategy

FINAL FANTASY X_X-2 HD Remaster_20190823104401.jpg
Have Tidus cast Haste on Lulu. Wakka and Kimahri's Overdrives will also help (If Kimahri learned Fire Breath). Make Lulu spam those fire magics and use your offensive overdrives to push Chocobo Eater. Auron's Bushido has a delay effect so use it in case the Chocobo Eater can get a turn.

Yuna is also helpful in this battle. If the Chocobo Eater is getting ready to charge to push you back, the Aeons do not seem affected by this. You can also use Fire with them, so this can help if you are underlvl and Lulu deals about 400 but the others deal under 200. Simply Haste Lulu, hit it twice with Fire, Summon and hit again with Fire, Dismiss, blast it with Fire and use Auron, and you should push it over the edge without resistance.
