Walkthrough

  • Following the last cutscene, you will be instructed to dig up your Moogle's savings in a random area.
    • If you forget which area your moogle mentioned, talk to the Inconspicuous Door again for a brief chat that your moogle will tell you which area to go dig in.
  • Purchase some Gysahl Greens and mount a Chocobo.
    • More than one stack of greens is recommended as each dig attempt will expend one.
  • Head to the area your Moogle informed you about and start digging.
  • Each time you dig, you will receive a message informing you of the direction of the chest and how close you are (see below).
  • Once you are near enough, you will obtain a Moldy, worm-eaten chest upon digging.
  • Zoning causes the chest to move!
  • Return to the Inconspicuous Door for the next cutscene.

Digging Clues

The following hints are given when you dig:

  • Your Chocobo is pulling at the bit
  • You Sense that it is leading you to the [compass direction]
    • No additional hint (Approx: 201+' from target)
    • You have a hunch this area would be favored by moogles... (Approx. 81-200' From target)
    • You have a vague feeling that a moogle would enjoy traversing this terrain... (Approx. 51-80' from target)
    • You suspect that the scenery around here would be to a moogle's liking... (Approx. 21-50' from target)
    • You have a feeling your moogle friend has been through this way... (Approx. 11-20' from target)
    • You get the distinct sense that your moogle friend frequents this spot... (Approx. 5-10' from target)
    • You are convinced that your moogle friend has been digging in the immediate vicinity. (Less than 5' from target)
    • (These distances seem to be under-estimated- I got the "51-80" message considerably further away than 80')
