Chocobo Eaters stopped spawning for no reason. Any ideas?

[JH1000]

Hello again,

I am trying to farm Chocobo Eaters for Blizzara on day 6, but there are none spawning at all in the Eremite plains where they usually spawn.

I have beat the Chaos Chocobo Eater already.Aside from him being alive I do not know of anything which would prevent the monster from spawning besides it being extinct.

Even though I am pretty sure they're meant to spawn at any time excluding Anubis and Meonekton hours, I checked at 18-19 PM where I am 100% certain they should spawn, still nothing.

They do not spawn at all. I am absolutely sure about that because I know their usual spawn frequency and have tried for about five times as long as it should take to spawn one, yet nothing besides Ectopuddings, Valis, Goblins and Triffids.

Does anyone know what is going on?

Thanks a lot!

i think you might have killed them all dude

If I had killed them all I would not be searching for them to farm them.

Besides, my post clearly implies that I have not caused their extinction: "I have beat the Chaos Chocobo Eater already.Aside from him being alive I do not know of anything which would prevent the monster from spawning besides it being extinct."

I have killed exactly two of them so far, one being the one which attacks the Angel of Valhalla, the other one being the Chaos one.

This is exactly my problem: I know of three reasons which could prevent them from spawning (wrong time, extinct, Chaos specimen alive) and none of them are prevalent in my game.

I think Chocobo eaters spawn in the later days. But I usually farm them on the highways after they day 8.

I thought about that possibility as well but soon remembered they have to spawn always because people use them to farm level 1 Blizzaras. Then I checked the ablity drop charts and they all say Chocobo Eaters do indeed spawn during day 1-6. I also think I have seen one in the same save file during an earlier day.

You're probably unlucky. Take what I say with a grain of salt since it's mostliy anecdotal, but this game a bit of an RNG bias. If it refuses to roll Chocobo Eaters, you're better off exiting the game, then booting it up again to try your luck.

If it doesn't work... well... There are only 30 Chocobo Eaters compared to 60 Ectopuddings, 90 Vali/Hanuman, 120 Goblins... and so on. The RNG just isn't in your favour. Hunt the rest of them down slowly and you'll find what you're looking for eventually.

Well the thing is: I have been zoning away enemies for about 30 minutes and never seen a single Chocobo Eater. I have also rebooted the game numerous times even though I am not sure if it can even get stuck with broken RNG. I just cannot imagine not a single one spawning in over half an hour being just bad luck, especially since before I have always seen them spawn fairly often. They are not THAT rare.

I also don't wanna hunt down the rest of the enemies since I do need their day later day ability drops.

Since noone seems to know of any reason why they should not spawn I guess I will try again later to see if they started spawning for some reason :/
