Likewise, you can find our Chocobo Forest guide under our Chocobo Section as they are somewhat related. Click here to view the Chocobo Forest Guide. BTW, the Weapons Guide will also cover Deep Sea Deposit section as it is related to the Ultima Weapon.

* You must complete the Part I quest before you can continue with Part II.
