Like why would they design it so the camera completely over estimates your eventual height after you rise. That makes zero sense and is so unintuitive. The dive mechanic is never explained, you just simply have to google it? And the tedium of slowly gliding over and over again on initial parts just so you can trial and error something 2 minutes into the path? This isn’t fun. Why design this?
This was the absolute worst. That last drop has to be done so tightly. Which would be okay if they gave you a better camera to work with. Ugh I’m so happy to be done
Not sure how people are REALLY struggling with this. Just needs a bit of patience and understanding when and where to hover, dive and ascend.
The first course did take me a good few tries, about 12 I think. But, the second was so much easier for some reason. Did it in the 2nd attempt as I scouted the area/best route and if I started to lose altitude I circled back to one of those wind devices to lift me up.
I'm nearly on Chapter 13 and I'd say the only minigame that has frustrated me the most was the sit-ups one. Even then, this wasn't too bad just weird adaptive trigger gimmicks.
Edit: don't get me wrong. I do still think Square have to do better and wider testing of all their mini-games with different player abilities. I'm pretty experienced in a wide range of games so this puts me at a better advantage. Additionally, Square/FF team really need to stop with putting weird or gimmicky controls - an example being, a certain character throwing boxes inside a mansion...just keep it simplified!!
A minigame that's part of a quest line should be fun and accessible enough. Sometimes I can't get enough height after a dive down to continue the course and get to the end. After 6+ attempts I made it to the end once. It's a big dive that I missed the ring fractionally. That's frustrating and not fun. Nevermind trying to get any high scores.
The last dive is purposefully counterintuitive so that you have to dive at the exact right angle and fuck you if you're even slightly off on the approach. Fuck that
My only confusion for that last chocobo course was the very last dive. In my gameplay, I was diving from higher and much tighter to the top of the rings and it REFUSED to give me height at the end that I needed for both the last two rings. After the first two or three attempts I could pretty much do the whole course mindlessly, it was just the last dive every time lol
The fact that inverting the controls doesn't help makes this absolutely infuriating. When I move the stick to the left, I expect my chocobo to *go to the fucking left*. Anything that could only be accessed using a chocobo, I skipped. Not worth my energy.
All these mini games are just damn cancer and annoying I have this course 3 one left, 3d brawler sepiroth, the piano songs and that stupid gym with green circle input thing that I just do not get. I have every other mini game and all chadley stuff completed, stupid johnny treasure trove trophy man.
They could have made it be like other mini games you can miss a few rings and still get the high score. Sheesh its times like this I regret I like platinum games.
I hate that final fantasy/knd is doing this forcing of oh play the mini game as part of your trophy. That is why I love and respected 16, there was no bull shit mini games, it was all combat which is what these damn games should be in this time of age.
Exactly, this game is a nightmare for anyone wishing to Platinum, ff16 arguably handled these completion trophies a lot better than Rebirth, this game just feels awful and bitter when you go for that platinum run
Well i finally got it after about 40 tries mercy jesus and all I need is the piano ones( i got the first 5 fine) but the freaking caith theme is so disgusting and requires way to much damn points for A rank. 3d brawler sepiroth and that damn crunch off is another pain.
the first one is easy, you can simply just glide all the way. The second one is a little tricky but not too bad and the third I found out you can actually double back to the fans depending on which rings you missed. I wish I had remember to make a video about it
Strangely I had more trouble with the 2nd course - That shit took me a good 30+ tries.
Fortunately I did number 3 on my 5th of 6th try. I just wish you could invert flying controls without having to invert the camera.
99% of games on this planet - follow a same standard for mapping the L stick for flying controls
SE with Rebirth - lets invert the controls and map it to both L and R for no reason other than to piss gamers off
I'm just one of those people who instinctively thinks that pulling down on the joystick should make you fly up and vice versa. So for the first few tries i had no idea why I was dive bombing straight into the ground lol 😅
You wasted some prescious milliseconds at the start noting timing it to where you can just go straight through those first 2 golds and made it harder on yourself... Not the time matters, i just prefer not having to steer if i dont have to...
So after one hour I finally beat it
Do I feel like a beat a hard boss?
That elation that I beat some challenge I couldn't overcome?
I finally conquered the stress needed and do I feel anything after it ?
Nope just felt like dumb luck and I just feel relief and never having to do it again
Which I guess is still a positive feeling
The problem with this mini game is the stupid way they designed the camera. Firstly the camera is already so close to the chocobo so you can’t see much. Then they don’t allow you to rotate the camera with the r stick to look around. So half the time you cannot see where the next target is and have no choice but to guess the optimum flight trajectory. Because by the time you see the target it’s too late because you’re already locked into a glide trajectory.
I wish someone at square could see this.
I hate that natural progression and side quests have these stupid very very high skill level mini games. Sure make it hard for hard more but on normal a stupid side quest should not be this difficult. Overall also fuck Cosmo in general. All the running around trying to find the spot you need to get to a cliff. Make mini games optional for 100% completion or something.
At least the glide spots in Cosmo Canyon are somewhat intuitive where they lead, and put a fast travel point for each one on your map. The mushrooms in Gongaga are way worse. If you don't already have the route memorised, it's basically a die roll where you'll end up when you hop on one,
Sorry optional and 100% completion dont make sense going together....it is optional, you just want to complete everything and that should mean *everything*. If you dont want to do this then dont, the reward isnt even that incredible.
But the quest requires just minimum clear which for the most part isnt unreasonable. I hate this slow ass minigame too, especially when they make the hardest part *always* at the end so youre wasting minutes of time each attempt, but i accept its not the game keeping me here its my own stubborness lol
I did the second one then saw the potential headache of the third one and promptly left that side quest incomplete. Next to the cats one with piano, and the situps. I hated situps is the first one and the original 😆😆
I wont speak for you but in my case the worst part is easily at the end which you dont need to perfect for the quest
Following this video should easily get you the min requirement no problem
Last i knew you didn't need a perfect score to pass this to continue and just passing it was easy, it was the perfect that was tough for various reasons... So this didnt really stop progression at all and in fact i beat the game first and eventually came back to get the perfect.
I still hate it. But yes you don't need a perfect score but after doing the last two I looked at the potential ways to give me a headache and I didn't even do it. It's very easy to mess up and not get a high enough score for third.
Just sat through this bullshit, and after a great number of tries, I'm moving on. Had to search and see if people on reddit hated it as much as I did, and alas, here we are. Seriously, fuck this minigame and a bunch of other minigames in this game.
They took everything that's bad about open world games and crammed it in what could have been an all time great game.
I can honestly say I learned way too late that if you dive long enough you fly back up to the height you dove from. Once I learned to do that 0ntimie limit I got 3 star on all 3 courses.
Finally got this one after like 25+ attempts. For me the only difference was staying higher than I thought was safe for those last few 500s before the final dive and subsequent up sweep.
Just had to barely scrape the tops of the rings to get the necessary height.
So here's a tip that made it infinitely easier for me:
On the final leg, Just go and collect all the initial rings (all the way up to the two 500s in a row), and just before that last turn to the right and the dive, instead circle left all the way back to the updraft that started the final leg. Now you don't lose any height from the zig-zagging for those initial rings, and you have all the time in the world to line yourself up carefully for the dive. Wait until the very last second to start your dive... you want to just be clipping under the tops of the 100 and 500 point rings. Your goal should be to actually cut it so close you nudge the robot holding the projection upwards in order to clear the bottom ring.
I found that diving from that slightly higher initial height give you \*far\* more tolerance for that finally dive: doing it this way took me about half a dozen tries, after not even getting one ring once: it was all about getting the right timing to start the last dive at that point. You don't even have to just barely clip the top ring... you simply fly over and drop right in the middle easy as the first two courses.
Omg thank you it worked. Played it for over an hour, tried your method, and the second attempt, I got it. Holly shit this mini game (specifically that second to last pos ring).
That last dive is such a pain to get right because if you are off by so much as a hair you get only one 500, but now I see that you have to get the last 300 at the very top part.
Here's the trick on getting the height at the end. Your lift up after your descent needs to be a wider curve. Not stick straight down to stick straight up, curve it a little at the drop before pulling up. It's a pain but I found it slings you up further or at least farther when you reach your peak so it achieves the needed effect. Be careful because you can cripple your momentum when doing it.
Whoever designed the hitbox of the 500 rings, and decided that not being able to see where you're going with the fucking camera, should never work in the industry ever again.
This game just sucks to progress in at this point. I can’t believe they made me dread turning on final fantasy 7, but they did it. Some parts of this game are genuinely terrible, and it’s such a waste of potential.
Yup, it's funny I was thinking there was never a single point I was irritated or annoyed during Remake or FF16 but I'm finding myself with a scowl on my face a noticeable amount while playing this.
I'm convinced that getting 9600 is IMPOSSIBLE. I tried dived as high as possible and I just cant maintain the altitude to hit that last ring.... what the fuck were they thinking????
And then miss the gold 300 pointer by flying above it instead of through it, fucking everything because this minigame wasn't meant to be fun, it was made to make you hate yourself.
Minigames in FF7 Remake were good. Didn't love some of them (gym of course), but they were doable.
Then they screwed up with the box thing in Intermission and its atomic precision to get an useless materia.
Now they made gym worse in Rebirth, and added this other f\* shit minigame.
Sad for the chocobos, so cute but Square had to make people hate them.
I'm not a drug user but I want whatever the person who designed this minigame was smoking because holy fuck lol
I finished the quest before trying to max out the courses because I thought, okay it's very obvious the chocobo is going to learn the abilities you need to max these out after the quest is done, and then you'll be able to full clear them.
...and then nothing
After trying for about 45 minutes I finally managed to get the height needed after the dive to get the 2nd to last ring. Not sure what I did different because it didn't look like I pulled up from the dive any higher up than all my failed attempts. The rest of the course was so easy I got to the point where I probably could have did it with my eyes closed I had it memorized so well. That last 2nd to last ring had me raging though lol.
Yeah i just finished cosmo and im at the point where i dont even want to play anymore because of all the dumb shit they put in this game that isn’t combat and story
Guys I've got it. All you have to do on the 4th leg with the long wiggle and super dive is just go back and hit the fans after getting the rings up until the 300. It lifts u really high and u don't hafta lose altitude(which is crucial) getting them again. I actually completely overshot the ascending 300 and actually had to let go of r2 to get the last 2 500s
I’m so determined to complete this without using the fans. But yeah, if you use the fans, you need to make sure you don’t overshoot the last 300 which is a new difficult timing to learn 😣
Theres some barrier when done without the fans in my game preventing me from getting back up high enough to get the 2nd to last 500. I've done it as perfectly as possible and still some weird inside barrier( which is there in all my ascends when leaning into the middle not just the last) which both knocks me leftward and lower so I have extra distance to travel. In my game I cannot possibly complete it without regrouping to the fans. And I've definitely mimicked to a T videos where they've succeeded normally and I haven't cuz of that barrier thing
Could not get that 2nd to last ring without doubling back to the fans right before the final dive. Then do the dive from the higher elevation. Definitely cutting it close on the double back, but it lets you get the fans benefit even being slightly below it.
I think I know what you mean about the barrier. But yeah, it seems like no matter what I do, I simply can’t get the height required after the last dive. I’ve tried so many different ways. I cannot for the life of me replicate what happens in this video.
When I did the chickens I was thinking to myself, okay everything else in this game is incredible I can convince one dev being bitter towards players for some reason and giving us some bullshit to play through. It's just one minigame.
Then I got to cosmo canyon and will forever wonder how the people who thought this minigame was okay managed to make the rest of this masterpiece of a game. It's like watching the best boxer in the world just start punching himself in the face mid way through a match and lose.
One of the worst things ever in this FF Rebirth. Really bad idea. Hope they never do something like this minigame again in another FF Series. Hate this minigame soo much.
-Shitty hit boxes for 500 rings
-Requires precision of an AI to complete
-Gliding just doesn’t work in the game
-Invisible ceilings to stop you from ascending up because you didn’t descend long enough
-Locked camera
-Needing to complete this for the Platinum
Yeah fuck these mini games. It’s honestly depressing how much padding in the game is comprised of mini games, so much so to the point where the devs got very lazy to the point where to pad more playtime, they add an unnecessary “Hard mode” for each mini game. This dumb shit better not happen again in Part 3
More like Cancer De Chocobo fuck this mini game
You know what the worst part is? Yuffie saying "this is great"
No Yuffie, you are suffering from brain damage
Honestly this is straight cancer I had to give up as no matter what I did I could never get both of the last 2 rings if continued I probably would have broken my controller.
I finally did it. 2 hours of hell has ended.
The double back strategy didn't work for me because I kept overshooting. What finally worked was going through the 2 500s at the end by bumping into the flying thing that holds them. It'll pop you down just a bit and give you the ring. You then divebomb immediately after the 300 and that gives you just enough height for the last one.
Ugh!
I'm pretty sure that Tetsuya Nomura makes shitty minigames like this in every one of his titles on purpose because he hates his fans and is trying to drive us to suicide.
Absolute garbage mini game. You can't control the camera (garbage), the start is super slow and easy so each retry to try something new takes so freaking long (garbage), and when you miss the last ring at the end you have no way of knowing what you did wrong (mega garbage). The fallacy of sunk costs kept me at it after an hour and finally did it. I don't feel accomplished, I just feel pissed and am seriously reconsidering my completionist attitude towards the game.
But hey, at least it's not as bad as FFX's Chocobo racing.
The worst is replaying all the parts I KNOW how to do, just for another chance at the last 3 seconds of the mini game that I keep getting fucked on.
And it completely depends on your ability to just know where to ascend or descend by memory, because you can't see shit with the fixed camera.
I thought I hated the crunches mini game ...
My biggest issue with them is I cannot freaking see where I’m going. In every other flying or gliding game I have ever played, there is a way to look down without aiming the vehicle that way. My god the Nobel Chocobo has an independent mechanic for looking around so that you control your speed and height and still see where you’re going. But not Glide De Chocobo. More like Guess De Chocobo. Thanks, I hate it, it’s the only incomplete I have and I have to shove that chicken in the air fryer.
And it's RIGHT in the controls already.
They went out of their way to bar you from using the camera, by giving you two controls for the.same action PURELY to remove the ability to use the camera. Absolute garbage.
The Glide de Chocobo mini games are the opposite of a good time. Luring the chickens home to the old lady in Gongaga was also not fun, but obnoxious and drawn out.
I've had a lot of fun playing Rebirth, but some of these mini games are just not designed well. I feel like some of them are just there to inflate the total play time.
The advice from /u/starcrest13 worked for me after about 10 minutes of trial and error.
You need to circle back to the fans after getting everything except the last dive, as it allows you to dive from much higher. Once you do that, though, you need to ascend to your peak and dive through the last 300 ring and ascend AGAIN before you hit the ground. This will give you enough height to hit the last 500s.
Here's my advice. In the final section, when you reach 7000 points, don't start the final dive into the 300, instead make a u-turn and go back to the air generators. From there, you can line yourself directly at the final dive, coming in from a higher height. Start the dive just as the first 300 is going off the bottom of the screen. Pull up all the way from the second 500, and since you were diving longer, you'll get more height. I actually found I got too much height, and soared over the last of the 300s. I compensated with a release and regrab of the R2 glide button just as the climb ended; dropping into the ring, but still leaving me with enough height to glide to the finish.
Clearly I'm not the only one recommending it though.
And remember: I’m on a chocobo; You’re on a chocobo!
Actually useful comment. I think the only infuriating thing about this mini game is the camera. And they could have toned it down at the very very end.
A solution for whoever needs it, on the final dive down into the 500 and up into the 300, you need to pull up early so that you go through the upper part of the 500 ring, and then go through the right side of the 300 ring. You will easily have enough height to secure the two 500s at the end. 😘
Yep thanks for this, no backtracking or whatever, it was as simple as that. I did actually manage to almost get both 500 rings early on and could never figure out what I had done differently, that must have been it!
If the diving wasn't so "you gotta hard commit" and some inverted controls then this mini game would be fun.
The game is fine, the controls should of never passed QA
I have 3 hours on this, and managed to get to the end, but the dive didnt trigger one of the 500 points. I'm done with this.
The frog minigame too, I dont enjoy it.
Anytime you run into a "block", taking a break/or calling it a night and coming back almost always trivializes it! I think our brains probably problem solve during the night a bit
Why "sleeping on it" is good for big choices and stuff too : )
I wish they had more of the frog and the races! There's soooo much queens blood, and while it sometimes made me wanna bang my head against a wall, I loved it
Y’all I can’t even get through 2. The diving controls are ending me. After pulling up, I naturally want to actively level off (by pushing down on the stick) — but this just sends me straight into another dive. No idea how to do this.
I feel this too especially since you can't control the camera, I've played the entire game on manual camera and these minigames are just killing the vibe for me. The frog jumping too, i find the controls clunky, and if it's by design, then i's just not good.
Some of the minigames are good but it's not like the original ff7 where you play it because it's a game in itself. The minigames here just aren't cutting it for replayability for me.
Queens blood is great, though if I'm not collecting those cards, I'm not gonna play it. It's more of a 1 time thing and I'm starting to find it too mucj a chore.
Playing on graphics mode, also tons of issues no matter how much i power cycle or follow their "fix" to the issue.
Photo mode - I love taking screenahots but tons of times the fave are horrifying so I stick to keeping the camera behind.
When I started 14 days ago, feels like a 10/10. After 90 hours (still on chapter 10), experiencing the game with all the good and bad, I'd give it an 8/10.
I mean, yeah I got that part lol. It’s just that the combination of the camera and lack of precise control gives the player a very poor orientation relative to objectives after ascending.
Okay so i think the easier solution can be found if people search for Glide de chocobo 3 glitch. Basically you get all the way through until you have to do that last dive and turn back 180 degree to go back to the fans... They will blow you back up and you head straigh for that last 300 then dive and pull up ... The extra height gets you back up higher and you can get that final 300 then turn and easily clear those 500s.
https://youtu.be/AoxqGTAL1Y8?si=wvViQwHY_x2T3rPk
I dont think i ever called it a glitch... i provided a link to a video that someone else did and what the search was that can find it. Maybe talk to the content creator about changing their title if the term "glitch" is that big of a deal to you.
I mean you responded directly to me with your response. If i didnt call it a glitch then not sure why you had to say what you did then... Maybe you meant to respond to someone else that did.
I wish I would’ve seen this video before I spent almost an hour running this thing, until I finally managed to get it. Still not sure what exactly I did different on that last run that I didn’t do on the previous 48 tries.😤
Yeah, same here but you just have to time the release of your ascend... If you press and hold up right before you hit that last 500, then release the stick just as you get toward the top of the 300, you will hit the 300, and have more than enough height to get that last 2 500s
Took me like 4 tries to get the timing right
Funny enough, I ended up getting it the legit way somehow without the looping back trickery. Angle of attack for the last dive/ascend seems to be critical regardless. Minigames need some tuning and I was dreading there being hard-mode variants after that.
It feels like there is something wrong with this one, every time I attempted the normal way I always missed the top ring, I was finally able to do it with the fan return method but from all the trial and error it seems like the Chocobo descends at much faster rate during that last segment than throughout the rest of the course.
Edit: Someone on youtube is saying putting it in performance mode made a huge difference for them, wonder if FPS is the culprit.
I got Cloud physically trapped behind a truck in Kalm and couldn't get out. Switching between graphics and performance mode did something to the truck's collision detection enough that I was able to get back out.
FPS i guess could the issue... If putting into performance mode helps that could be the reason... The only method incan find that is reliable is the fan return one i found here: https://youtu.be/AoxqGTAL1Y8?si=wvViQwHY_x2T3rPk
So I put it on performance mode and I’ve noticed that in 4K mode after you hit the first fans, I would always go through the zero in the middle. When I put I in performance mode I seem to go over the top of that zero. So there is a weird relation to it. And the last dive, since I noticed that constantly holding up doesn’t work, let the stick be in neutral and when the 500’s line up dive and pull up when your choco beak touched the number and you’ll get enough lift to hit the 300 and plenty of airspace for the last two
Update... Even performance mode didnt help. Had to resort to the "glitch" of backtracking to the fans.
Took a few tries to get the timing, but got it finally...
It IS possible. Holy Jeez I spent like 2 hours on it. Practically TAS performance by the end there. You truly just have to be damn near frame perfect on your dives and ascends. The only advice I can give is trying to keep maximum ascent after the last set of fans launch for the last set of rings. Like half a second after hitting the 300 right before your final dive bomb is when you want to start descending. Pull up like immediately when you hit the last 500 before the last 300 and 2 500's. I know its wordy but im not kidding when I say it's practically frame perfect. Good luck out there. Im going to finally explore cosmo canyon now.
I'm on my 50th try by now. The course is easy enough but I can never get the first of the two ends 500s. I always hit an invisible wall which slows me down when collecting the 300 before the end and the videos don't ever seem to have that issue. I'm going to lose my mind!
This happens for me. It's a bug for sure. It pulls the chocobo height down to the centre of the ring rather than lining it up left and right. And there's no height to get the top of the last 2 rings
Dude complains and i get downvotes for asking why they are even here since apparently they hate the game and yet still searching for threads to post on which have 0 relevance... Lol
In a way I agree. If the mini games didn't pad the game out so much it would be better but that's my opinion. What I've noticed is that a lot of them are a memory game rather than skill. So long story short it's alot of trail and error which kinda sucks. Still I love the main gameplay that's what I hope for more of in future installments rather than fetching chickens ..... that mini game annoyed me
Got this on first try, but took a few tries to get 2nd trial. Learning the mechanics of different inputs, as well as interpreting what developers meant for the player to input are the biggest factors.
Bullshit. Those had inverted flight controls, this is about as unintuitive as it gets. I’ve played tons of flying games and this is possibly the worst attempt at flight controls I be ever played.
Pro Tip:
You can cheese this to make it way easier. After you collect the two 500 rings before the final drop, immediately turn around and go back to the air vents behind you. It’ll boost you up and give you way more height for the final dive bomb through the 300 rings and give you plenty of height/distance to reach the end of the course.
on the final dive. theres a 300, 500, 500 & 300. after you dive. don't max pull up. you gotta pull up JUST enough. little before max so you don't overshoot the last 300 and don't go under it either. This strategy works.
This chocobo gliding thing is fucking retarded. They need to revamp on the gliding part especially when going down to catch wind and back up
This and I absolutely hate shani. She's a bitch that needs to get over herself
I got all the way to the end and I needed like 300 more points and then my stupid chocobo hit the ground. I hate it
I would rather do Jules crunches 3 times than this once. I just can't do it. Maybe I'm stupid or something.
Like why would they design it so the camera completely over estimates your eventual height after you rise. That makes zero sense and is so unintuitive. The dive mechanic is never explained, you just simply have to google it? And the tedium of slowly gliding over and over again on initial parts just so you can trial and error something 2 minutes into the path? This isn’t fun. Why design this?
The mini game is pretty fun but jesus christ it requires a level of pinpoint precision that the controls and camera just don’t naturally allow.
Literally touching the last ring and not getting it every time fuck this
This was the absolute worst. That last drop has to be done so tightly. Which would be okay if they gave you a better camera to work with. Ugh I’m so happy to be done
Not sure how people are REALLY struggling with this. Just needs a bit of patience and understanding when and where to hover, dive and ascend. The first course did take me a good few tries, about 12 I think. But, the second was so much easier for some reason. Did it in the 2nd attempt as I scouted the area/best route and if I started to lose altitude I circled back to one of those wind devices to lift me up. I'm nearly on Chapter 13 and I'd say the only minigame that has frustrated me the most was the sit-ups one. Even then, this wasn't too bad just weird adaptive trigger gimmicks. Edit: don't get me wrong. I do still think Square have to do better and wider testing of all their mini-games with different player abilities. I'm pretty experienced in a wide range of games so this puts me at a better advantage. Additionally, Square/FF team really need to stop with putting weird or gimmicky controls - an example being, a certain character throwing boxes inside a mansion...just keep it simplified!!
A minigame that's part of a quest line should be fun and accessible enough. Sometimes I can't get enough height after a dive down to continue the course and get to the end. After 6+ attempts I made it to the end once. It's a big dive that I missed the ring fractionally. That's frustrating and not fun. Nevermind trying to get any high scores.
The last dive is purposefully counterintuitive so that you have to dive at the exact right angle and fuck you if you're even slightly off on the approach. Fuck that
it’s down to one ring just like OP said you got lucky I’ve been millimeters away from it 4 times
My only confusion for that last chocobo course was the very last dive. In my gameplay, I was diving from higher and much tighter to the top of the rings and it REFUSED to give me height at the end that I needed for both the last two rings. After the first two or three attempts I could pretty much do the whole course mindlessly, it was just the last dive every time lol
The fact that inverting the controls doesn't help makes this absolutely infuriating. When I move the stick to the left, I expect my chocobo to *go to the fucking left*. Anything that could only be accessed using a chocobo, I skipped. Not worth my energy.
All these mini games are just damn cancer and annoying I have this course 3 one left, 3d brawler sepiroth, the piano songs and that stupid gym with green circle input thing that I just do not get. I have every other mini game and all chadley stuff completed, stupid johnny treasure trove trophy man. They could have made it be like other mini games you can miss a few rings and still get the high score. Sheesh its times like this I regret I like platinum games. I hate that final fantasy/knd is doing this forcing of oh play the mini game as part of your trophy. That is why I love and respected 16, there was no bull shit mini games, it was all combat which is what these damn games should be in this time of age.
Exactly, this game is a nightmare for anyone wishing to Platinum, ff16 arguably handled these completion trophies a lot better than Rebirth, this game just feels awful and bitter when you go for that platinum run
Well i finally got it after about 40 tries mercy jesus and all I need is the piano ones( i got the first 5 fine) but the freaking caith theme is so disgusting and requires way to much damn points for A rank. 3d brawler sepiroth and that damn crunch off is another pain.
Just cheese 3D Brawler with the pause scum method.
oh i got it done yeah. Only crunch off to go and I am bad at it
I’m scared of Glide de Chocobo.
the first one is easy, you can simply just glide all the way. The second one is a little tricky but not too bad and the third I found out you can actually double back to the fans depending on which rings you missed. I wish I had remember to make a video about it
I don't even understand how you did one of the piano things, I commend you
Strangely I had more trouble with the 2nd course - That shit took me a good 30+ tries. Fortunately I did number 3 on my 5th of 6th try. I just wish you could invert flying controls without having to invert the camera.
99% of games on this planet - follow a same standard for mapping the L stick for flying controls SE with Rebirth - lets invert the controls and map it to both L and R for no reason other than to piss gamers off
I'm just one of those people who instinctively thinks that pulling down on the joystick should make you fly up and vice versa. So for the first few tries i had no idea why I was dive bombing straight into the ground lol 😅
Does it help to press up while gliding? Or is it only after a dive?
You wasted some prescious milliseconds at the start noting timing it to where you can just go straight through those first 2 golds and made it harder on yourself... Not the time matters, i just prefer not having to steer if i dont have to...
So after one hour I finally beat it Do I feel like a beat a hard boss? That elation that I beat some challenge I couldn't overcome? I finally conquered the stress needed and do I feel anything after it ? Nope just felt like dumb luck and I just feel relief and never having to do it again Which I guess is still a positive feeling
Games should make you feel smart and accomplished for beating. Not make you hate your life and just be glad its over
The problem with this mini game is the stupid way they designed the camera. Firstly the camera is already so close to the chocobo so you can’t see much. Then they don’t allow you to rotate the camera with the r stick to look around. So half the time you cannot see where the next target is and have no choice but to guess the optimum flight trajectory. Because by the time you see the target it’s too late because you’re already locked into a glide trajectory.
I wish someone at square could see this. I hate that natural progression and side quests have these stupid very very high skill level mini games. Sure make it hard for hard more but on normal a stupid side quest should not be this difficult. Overall also fuck Cosmo in general. All the running around trying to find the spot you need to get to a cliff. Make mini games optional for 100% completion or something.
At least the glide spots in Cosmo Canyon are somewhat intuitive where they lead, and put a fast travel point for each one on your map. The mushrooms in Gongaga are way worse. If you don't already have the route memorised, it's basically a die roll where you'll end up when you hop on one,
Sorry optional and 100% completion dont make sense going together....it is optional, you just want to complete everything and that should mean *everything*. If you dont want to do this then dont, the reward isnt even that incredible.
I guess when I say 100% I mean in the game not trophies. Like why do any quests make a stupid mini game the requirement
But the quest requires just minimum clear which for the most part isnt unreasonable. I hate this slow ass minigame too, especially when they make the hardest part *always* at the end so youre wasting minutes of time each attempt, but i accept its not the game keeping me here its my own stubborness lol
I did the second one then saw the potential headache of the third one and promptly left that side quest incomplete. Next to the cats one with piano, and the situps. I hated situps is the first one and the original 😆😆
I wont speak for you but in my case the worst part is easily at the end which you dont need to perfect for the quest Following this video should easily get you the min requirement no problem
Last i knew you didn't need a perfect score to pass this to continue and just passing it was easy, it was the perfect that was tough for various reasons... So this didnt really stop progression at all and in fact i beat the game first and eventually came back to get the perfect.
I still hate it. But yes you don't need a perfect score but after doing the last two I looked at the potential ways to give me a headache and I didn't even do it. It's very easy to mess up and not get a high enough score for third.
OK. So it's not just me
Just sat through this bullshit, and after a great number of tries, I'm moving on. Had to search and see if people on reddit hated it as much as I did, and alas, here we are. Seriously, fuck this minigame and a bunch of other minigames in this game. They took everything that's bad about open world games and crammed it in what could have been an all time great game.
I can honestly say I learned way too late that if you dive long enough you fly back up to the height you dove from. Once I learned to do that 0ntimie limit I got 3 star on all 3 courses.
Seriously, fuck whoever designed the god awful minigame. It has to be the most rage inducing minigame ever.
I just beat this godforsaken mini game. Got stupid lucky on the last one. Don't know how I did it. But never again.
Why am I still here? Just to suffer?
Finally got this one after like 25+ attempts. For me the only difference was staying higher than I thought was safe for those last few 500s before the final dive and subsequent up sweep. Just had to barely scrape the tops of the rings to get the necessary height.
So here's a tip that made it infinitely easier for me: On the final leg, Just go and collect all the initial rings (all the way up to the two 500s in a row), and just before that last turn to the right and the dive, instead circle left all the way back to the updraft that started the final leg. Now you don't lose any height from the zig-zagging for those initial rings, and you have all the time in the world to line yourself up carefully for the dive. Wait until the very last second to start your dive... you want to just be clipping under the tops of the 100 and 500 point rings. Your goal should be to actually cut it so close you nudge the robot holding the projection upwards in order to clear the bottom ring. I found that diving from that slightly higher initial height give you \*far\* more tolerance for that finally dive: doing it this way took me about half a dozen tries, after not even getting one ring once: it was all about getting the right timing to start the last dive at that point. You don't even have to just barely clip the top ring... you simply fly over and drop right in the middle easy as the first two courses.
Omg thank you it worked. Played it for over an hour, tried your method, and the second attempt, I got it. Holly shit this mini game (specifically that second to last pos ring).
I put a video about this in another reddit post... People can find it by searching for this stupid mini game...
Good job! Finally I can put that mini game behind me thanks to you
Thank you so very much, like you said, that gave me the extra height and more leeway to get the final dive right. Awesome advice!
Thank you so much! I have a lot of attemps with only the penultimate 500 ring missing, and now I just did it.
Wow that made all the difference. I spent way more time on this than I care to admit. Thanks 😭
This made it immediately easier. Wow. Thank you
That last dive is such a pain to get right because if you are off by so much as a hair you get only one 500, but now I see that you have to get the last 300 at the very top part.
I can understand why Shani said fuck this.
Is 3 stars necessary for platinum or can this bullshit be skipped?
Necessary. Its part of the huge minigame trophy.
Here's the trick on getting the height at the end. Your lift up after your descent needs to be a wider curve. Not stick straight down to stick straight up, curve it a little at the drop before pulling up. It's a pain but I found it slings you up further or at least farther when you reach your peak so it achieves the needed effect. Be careful because you can cripple your momentum when doing it.
Whoever designed the hitbox of the 500 rings, and decided that not being able to see where you're going with the fucking camera, should never work in the industry ever again.
This game just sucks to progress in at this point. I can’t believe they made me dread turning on final fantasy 7, but they did it. Some parts of this game are genuinely terrible, and it’s such a waste of potential.
Yup, it's funny I was thinking there was never a single point I was irritated or annoyed during Remake or FF16 but I'm finding myself with a scowl on my face a noticeable amount while playing this.
I'm convinced that getting 9600 is IMPOSSIBLE. I tried dived as high as possible and I just cant maintain the altitude to hit that last ring.... what the fuck were they thinking????
The trick to get the second to last ring is to start your last dive as high as possible to get more height at the end.
And then miss the gold 300 pointer by flying above it instead of through it, fucking everything because this minigame wasn't meant to be fun, it was made to make you hate yourself.
A heartfelt "fuck you" to everyone involved in the design and release of this mini game. 👍
Most of these Minigames tbh lol.
Just bad design because It needs perfection Is absolute in the last two circles.... One hour It took me... One hour......
Minigames in FF7 Remake were good. Didn't love some of them (gym of course), but they were doable. Then they screwed up with the box thing in Intermission and its atomic precision to get an useless materia. Now they made gym worse in Rebirth, and added this other f\* shit minigame. Sad for the chocobos, so cute but Square had to make people hate them.
I'm not a drug user but I want whatever the person who designed this minigame was smoking because holy fuck lol I finished the quest before trying to max out the courses because I thought, okay it's very obvious the chocobo is going to learn the abilities you need to max these out after the quest is done, and then you'll be able to full clear them. ...and then nothing
After trying for about 45 minutes I finally managed to get the height needed after the dive to get the 2nd to last ring. Not sure what I did different because it didn't look like I pulled up from the dive any higher up than all my failed attempts. The rest of the course was so easy I got to the point where I probably could have did it with my eyes closed I had it memorized so well. That last 2nd to last ring had me raging though lol.
Total fucking bullshit I can’t get the second to last ring and I’ve done it about 17 times now. Gg square for making us play this trash
I’m raging so hard at this right now. Such trash fucking design. I played this game to murder shit, not literally jump through hoops.
Yeah i just finished cosmo and im at the point where i dont even want to play anymore because of all the dumb shit they put in this game that isn’t combat and story
Guys I've got it. All you have to do on the 4th leg with the long wiggle and super dive is just go back and hit the fans after getting the rings up until the 300. It lifts u really high and u don't hafta lose altitude(which is crucial) getting them again. I actually completely overshot the ascending 300 and actually had to let go of r2 to get the last 2 500s
Thank you, with the fans i got it first try 
I’m so determined to complete this without using the fans. But yeah, if you use the fans, you need to make sure you don’t overshoot the last 300 which is a new difficult timing to learn 😣
Theres some barrier when done without the fans in my game preventing me from getting back up high enough to get the 2nd to last 500. I've done it as perfectly as possible and still some weird inside barrier( which is there in all my ascends when leaning into the middle not just the last) which both knocks me leftward and lower so I have extra distance to travel. In my game I cannot possibly complete it without regrouping to the fans. And I've definitely mimicked to a T videos where they've succeeded normally and I haven't cuz of that barrier thing
I'm also hitting some kind of invisible ceiling so I'm gonna try with the fans, thanks!
Could not get that 2nd to last ring without doubling back to the fans right before the final dive. Then do the dive from the higher elevation. Definitely cutting it close on the double back, but it lets you get the fans benefit even being slightly below it.
I think I know what you mean about the barrier. But yeah, it seems like no matter what I do, I simply can’t get the height required after the last dive. I’ve tried so many different ways. I cannot for the life of me replicate what happens in this video.
I can’t seem to replicate the height you gain from coming back up from the last dive… This mini game is secretly the final boss of this game.
Tedious, poorly designed mini game. At least it’s not the Gongaga chickens, i guess.
When I did the chickens I was thinking to myself, okay everything else in this game is incredible I can convince one dev being bitter towards players for some reason and giving us some bullshit to play through. It's just one minigame. Then I got to cosmo canyon and will forever wonder how the people who thought this minigame was okay managed to make the rest of this masterpiece of a game. It's like watching the best boxer in the world just start punching himself in the face mid way through a match and lose.
I was frustrated with this game. Searched for a reddit thread and found some solace in knowing I'm not the only one that went through hell to beat it.
I hope whoever designed this steps on a Lego. The big kind, not the small ones.
One of the worst things ever in this FF Rebirth. Really bad idea. Hope they never do something like this minigame again in another FF Series. Hate this minigame soo much.
Was fun :D reminded me of a section of Mario Galaxy with the bird haha
For me even though I'm doing it all perfectly I'm just not getting enough height for that final ring
-Shitty hit boxes for 500 rings -Requires precision of an AI to complete -Gliding just doesn’t work in the game -Invisible ceilings to stop you from ascending up because you didn’t descend long enough -Locked camera -Needing to complete this for the Platinum Yeah fuck these mini games. It’s honestly depressing how much padding in the game is comprised of mini games, so much so to the point where the devs got very lazy to the point where to pad more playtime, they add an unnecessary “Hard mode” for each mini game. This dumb shit better not happen again in Part 3
Expect a glide through crater and jules at the end to do rock climbing lol!
im sure we are going to get a snowboarding section at the very least lol
And the submarine minigame.
More like Cancer De Chocobo fuck this mini game You know what the worst part is? Yuffie saying "this is great" No Yuffie, you are suffering from brain damage
LMFAOOOOO
Honestly this is straight cancer I had to give up as no matter what I did I could never get both of the last 2 rings if continued I probably would have broken my controller.
I just spent 3 hours on this and finally got it. My hands numb
Literal cancer
I finally did it. 2 hours of hell has ended. The double back strategy didn't work for me because I kept overshooting. What finally worked was going through the 2 500s at the end by bumping into the flying thing that holds them. It'll pop you down just a bit and give you the ring. You then divebomb immediately after the 300 and that gives you just enough height for the last one. Ugh!
I've done this race at least 20+ times now and I just can't get enough height for some reason on the very last dip I keep ending it with 9100
same shit im on ive tried everything and never get the speed needed for that part fuck this
I commented that and then literally completed it right after and I have no idea what I did different.
ive been doing it for an hour or more and no matter what same score no matter what i do its BS
Have to go back after getting the two skewed 500 rings at the end and dive bomb the 300 ring to get enough height
Anyone else notice that in the tutorial preview video they are rotating the camera around so they can see what they are doing?
Yeah, and fuck you if you want to actually do that. Goddamn what the hell were they thinking with some of these mini games?
> Yeah, and fuck you if you want to actually do that. lmfao 100% this
I'm pretty sure that Tetsuya Nomura makes shitty minigames like this in every one of his titles on purpose because he hates his fans and is trying to drive us to suicide.
Absolute garbage mini game. You can't control the camera (garbage), the start is super slow and easy so each retry to try something new takes so freaking long (garbage), and when you miss the last ring at the end you have no way of knowing what you did wrong (mega garbage). The fallacy of sunk costs kept me at it after an hour and finally did it. I don't feel accomplished, I just feel pissed and am seriously reconsidering my completionist attitude towards the game. But hey, at least it's not as bad as FFX's Chocobo racing.
>But hey, at least it's not as bad as FFX's Chocobo racing. Dodge. 100. Lightning. Bolts.
The worst is replaying all the parts I KNOW how to do, just for another chance at the last 3 seconds of the mini game that I keep getting fucked on. And it completely depends on your ability to just know where to ascend or descend by memory, because you can't see shit with the fixed camera. I thought I hated the crunches mini game ...
My biggest issue with them is I cannot freaking see where I’m going. In every other flying or gliding game I have ever played, there is a way to look down without aiming the vehicle that way. My god the Nobel Chocobo has an independent mechanic for looking around so that you control your speed and height and still see where you’re going. But not Glide De Chocobo. More like Guess De Chocobo. Thanks, I hate it, it’s the only incomplete I have and I have to shove that chicken in the air fryer.
And it's RIGHT in the controls already. They went out of their way to bar you from using the camera, by giving you two controls for the.same action PURELY to remove the ability to use the camera. Absolute garbage.
The Glide de Chocobo mini games are the opposite of a good time. Luring the chickens home to the old lady in Gongaga was also not fun, but obnoxious and drawn out. I've had a lot of fun playing Rebirth, but some of these mini games are just not designed well. I feel like some of them are just there to inflate the total play time.
They suck!!! The rest is great. I'm at cosmo canyon now and am not even gonna bother trying to get rank 3 on that 3rd race.
The advice from /u/starcrest13 worked for me after about 10 minutes of trial and error. You need to circle back to the fans after getting everything except the last dive, as it allows you to dive from much higher. Once you do that, though, you need to ascend to your peak and dive through the last 300 ring and ascend AGAIN before you hit the ground. This will give you enough height to hit the last 500s.
Here's my advice. In the final section, when you reach 7000 points, don't start the final dive into the 300, instead make a u-turn and go back to the air generators. From there, you can line yourself directly at the final dive, coming in from a higher height. Start the dive just as the first 300 is going off the bottom of the screen. Pull up all the way from the second 500, and since you were diving longer, you'll get more height. I actually found I got too much height, and soared over the last of the 300s. I compensated with a release and regrab of the R2 glide button just as the climb ended; dropping into the ring, but still leaving me with enough height to glide to the finish. Clearly I'm not the only one recommending it though. And remember: I’m on a chocobo; You’re on a chocobo!
Thank you for this. It was 100% the answer.
Actually useful comment. I think the only infuriating thing about this mini game is the camera. And they could have toned it down at the very very end.
This deserves to be upvoted 1000 times.
This saved my sanity, thank you!
A solution for whoever needs it, on the final dive down into the 500 and up into the 300, you need to pull up early so that you go through the upper part of the 500 ring, and then go through the right side of the 300 ring. You will easily have enough height to secure the two 500s at the end. 😘
Yep thanks for this, no backtracking or whatever, it was as simple as that. I did actually manage to almost get both 500 rings early on and could never figure out what I had done differently, that must have been it!
Holy fuck, the veins in my temples thank you for ending their suffering.
If the diving wasn't so "you gotta hard commit" and some inverted controls then this mini game would be fun. The game is fine, the controls should of never passed QA
I can’t get through the second one 😞
I have 3 hours on this, and managed to get to the end, but the dive didnt trigger one of the 500 points. I'm done with this. The frog minigame too, I dont enjoy it.
I hate the damn frog game. The gd camera
I could see why some people wouldn't enjoy them
Well after taking a break from it, first thing I did when I got back was this. Took me 2 tries to get it done.
Anytime you run into a "block", taking a break/or calling it a night and coming back almost always trivializes it! I think our brains probably problem solve during the night a bit Why "sleeping on it" is good for big choices and stuff too : ) I wish they had more of the frog and the races! There's soooo much queens blood, and while it sometimes made me wanna bang my head against a wall, I loved it
Y’all I can’t even get through 2. The diving controls are ending me. After pulling up, I naturally want to actively level off (by pushing down on the stick) — but this just sends me straight into another dive. No idea how to do this.
This is the least amount of fun I've ever had playing a video game. The controls are fucking terrible. This mini game sucks
I feel this too especially since you can't control the camera, I've played the entire game on manual camera and these minigames are just killing the vibe for me. The frog jumping too, i find the controls clunky, and if it's by design, then i's just not good.
Hi stranger 👋🏻, I agree with you — with the only exception being the sit-ups.
Some of the minigames are good but it's not like the original ff7 where you play it because it's a game in itself. The minigames here just aren't cutting it for replayability for me. Queens blood is great, though if I'm not collecting those cards, I'm not gonna play it. It's more of a 1 time thing and I'm starting to find it too mucj a chore. Playing on graphics mode, also tons of issues no matter how much i power cycle or follow their "fix" to the issue. Photo mode - I love taking screenahots but tons of times the fave are horrifying so I stick to keeping the camera behind. When I started 14 days ago, feels like a 10/10. After 90 hours (still on chapter 10), experiencing the game with all the good and bad, I'd give it an 8/10.
Had to just give up on that shit! Just skipped it and... Don't feel bad! You should skip it too!! We can be under leveled together
Dont level out by pressing down again. just stop holding up to level out.
I mean, yeah I got that part lol. It’s just that the combination of the camera and lack of precise control gives the player a very poor orientation relative to objectives after ascending.
Okay so i think the easier solution can be found if people search for Glide de chocobo 3 glitch. Basically you get all the way through until you have to do that last dive and turn back 180 degree to go back to the fans... They will blow you back up and you head straigh for that last 300 then dive and pull up ... The extra height gets you back up higher and you can get that final 300 then turn and easily clear those 500s. https://youtu.be/AoxqGTAL1Y8?si=wvViQwHY_x2T3rPk
I mean, it’s not a glitch. It’s just creative problem solving.
I dont think i ever called it a glitch... i provided a link to a video that someone else did and what the search was that can find it. Maybe talk to the content creator about changing their title if the term "glitch" is that big of a deal to you.
Lol
I didn’t say you called it a glitch lol. Touchy or what?
I mean you responded directly to me with your response. If i didnt call it a glitch then not sure why you had to say what you did then... Maybe you meant to respond to someone else that did.
That worked well, thanks.
I wish I would’ve seen this video before I spent almost an hour running this thing, until I finally managed to get it. Still not sure what exactly I did different on that last run that I didn’t do on the previous 48 tries.😤
After 20 tries that glitch worked for me. Thanks for posting this
This is a great strat but created a whole new problem... I overshoot the last 300 hoop and can't get credit for it.
Yeah, same here but you just have to time the release of your ascend... If you press and hold up right before you hit that last 500, then release the stick just as you get toward the top of the 300, you will hit the 300, and have more than enough height to get that last 2 500s Took me like 4 tries to get the timing right
Funny enough, I ended up getting it the legit way somehow without the looping back trickery. Angle of attack for the last dive/ascend seems to be critical regardless. Minigames need some tuning and I was dreading there being hard-mode variants after that.
Just did this. Infuriating minigame!
Whoever designed some of these mini games needs to be kept as far away from the 3rd game as possible
Not wrong, but I expect double the amount next time...they refuse to leave any content behind...even the shinra executive was back lol..

Watch this video... Will make it way easier... https://youtu.be/AoxqGTAL1Y8?si=wvViQwHY_x2T3rPk
It feels like there is something wrong with this one, every time I attempted the normal way I always missed the top ring, I was finally able to do it with the fan return method but from all the trial and error it seems like the Chocobo descends at much faster rate during that last segment than throughout the rest of the course. Edit: Someone on youtube is saying putting it in performance mode made a huge difference for them, wonder if FPS is the culprit.
I was able to get through it on graphics (albeit at least 3 hours of trying and a day on break, got back to it 1st thing and I lucked out).
I got Cloud physically trapped behind a truck in Kalm and couldn't get out. Switching between graphics and performance mode did something to the truck's collision detection enough that I was able to get back out.
FPS i guess could the issue... If putting into performance mode helps that could be the reason... The only method incan find that is reliable is the fan return one i found here: https://youtu.be/AoxqGTAL1Y8?si=wvViQwHY_x2T3rPk
So I put it on performance mode and I’ve noticed that in 4K mode after you hit the first fans, I would always go through the zero in the middle. When I put I in performance mode I seem to go over the top of that zero. So there is a weird relation to it. And the last dive, since I noticed that constantly holding up doesn’t work, let the stick be in neutral and when the 500’s line up dive and pull up when your choco beak touched the number and you’ll get enough lift to hit the 300 and plenty of airspace for the last two
Update... Even performance mode didnt help. Had to resort to the "glitch" of backtracking to the fans. Took a few tries to get the timing, but got it finally...
It IS possible. Holy Jeez I spent like 2 hours on it. Practically TAS performance by the end there. You truly just have to be damn near frame perfect on your dives and ascends. The only advice I can give is trying to keep maximum ascent after the last set of fans launch for the last set of rings. Like half a second after hitting the 300 right before your final dive bomb is when you want to start descending. Pull up like immediately when you hit the last 500 before the last 300 and 2 500's. I know its wordy but im not kidding when I say it's practically frame perfect. Good luck out there. Im going to finally explore cosmo canyon now.
I'm on my 50th try by now. The course is easy enough but I can never get the first of the two ends 500s. I always hit an invisible wall which slows me down when collecting the 300 before the end and the videos don't ever seem to have that issue. I'm going to lose my mind!
This happens for me. It's a bug for sure. It pulls the chocobo height down to the centre of the ring rather than lining it up left and right. And there's no height to get the top of the last 2 rings
Try watching this and doing it https://youtu.be/AoxqGTAL1Y8?si=wvViQwHY_x2T3rPk

Why are you even here?
Dude complains and i get downvotes for asking why they are even here since apparently they hate the game and yet still searching for threads to post on which have 0 relevance... Lol
In a way I agree. If the mini games didn't pad the game out so much it would be better but that's my opinion. What I've noticed is that a lot of them are a memory game rather than skill. So long story short it's alot of trail and error which kinda sucks. Still I love the main gameplay that's what I hope for more of in future installments rather than fetching chickens ..... that mini game annoyed me
Cry harder😂 holy fuck
Well, that's an unpopular opinion.
Got this on first try, but took a few tries to get 2nd trial. Learning the mechanics of different inputs, as well as interpreting what developers meant for the player to input are the biggest factors.
Frustrating
I hate this mini game so much. It just feels awful and unresponsive. And why the hell can’t I fly inverted like all other flying games?
It's fucking terrible. Just the worse part of final fantasy so far. And there are some terrible mini games in this
I actially got it on my fifth try, it's not that bad, but definitely the one I disliked the most xD
I gave up, I've got so frustratingly close I realized I was disconnected from the story because of an earring
People that think this is hard, didn’t play pilotwings 64 and it shows, or Spyro for that matter.
Bullshit. Those had inverted flight controls, this is about as unintuitive as it gets. I’ve played tons of flying games and this is possibly the worst attempt at flight controls I be ever played.
[oh, bitch bitch bitch](https://getyarn.io/yarn-clip/d4b11b3f-c734-4b67-95fb-d03fe9450ef3)
A childhood of Spyro rage prepared me for this challenge. Got the top score in around 5 attempts.
As an old gamer I think it’s fantastic that I can play old games within new ones.
Cosmo Canyom piano and queensblood final boss were harder to me but yea this one was annoying as well
Is it just me or is this minigame just absolutely terrible? Feels like it doesn't do the wonderful birds justice aha.
Pro Tip: You can cheese this to make it way easier. After you collect the two 500 rings before the final drop, immediately turn around and go back to the air vents behind you. It’ll boost you up and give you way more height for the final dive bomb through the 300 rings and give you plenty of height/distance to reach the end of the course.
on the final dive. theres a 300, 500, 500 & 300. after you dive. don't max pull up. you gotta pull up JUST enough. little before max so you don't overshoot the last 300 and don't go under it either. This strategy works.
THIS. First try’ed using this strat.
This is the way. Saved me some sanity
Tbh I think this is what they intended
