How to Unlock Fat Chocobo in Final Fantasy 7 Remake
To get the Materia, you'll need to defeat the Fat Chocobo in a VR Battle. To get the battle, you need to first complete nine Battle Intel Report sidequests from Chadley. The 10th report is the VR Battle against Fat Chocobo.
During the fight, Fat Chocobo will hit you with physical moves, so you can use the Barrier Materia if you have it. It's also orbited by a Moogle, who will summon smaller enemies to pester you. Take care of those summons first. As the battle goes on, more and more of the smaller enemies will appear.
Most of Fat Chocobo's attacks are easy to dodge, but when you get close enough it will jump up and slam down for a big splash attack.
The best way to deal with Fat Chocobo is to use ATB skills and summons, and to switch to Aerith to charge her healing spells faster. If you keep away from Fat Chocobo's big hits, you should be able to dispatch it and earn the Materia quickly.
