All 13 Chocobo Woods Locations - Final Fantasy 3

There are 13 Chocobo Woods scattered across the FF3 world map and every one needs visiting for the Adventurous Wayfarer gold trophy. None auto-register, so each wood needs a deliberate enter-and-exit before the Crystal Tower mirror. Each wood is a quiet clearing with no enemies or chests, so the trip is purely for the trophy flag.

Adventurous Wayfarer

: visit every map location.

The simplest approach is to clean these up at the end of the game. The Invincible reaches 12 of the 13 woods; the one exception is the Falgabard wood (#8), which sits in terrain only the Enterprise can land at.

The video below threads all 13 woods in one run. Use it as a route overview, or skim to a specific wood with the section anchors further down.

Bonus: Living Woods

Not technically a Chocobo Wood, but it’s a similar quiet clearing on the Floating Continent and counts toward the same Wayfarer trophy. Visit it before Castle Hein since the Elder Tree seals the forest for 1,000 years after the Hein boss. Full breakdown on the missables page.

Trophy Summary

The Adventurous Wayfarer gold trophy requires every map location visited. Most flag automatically via the walkthrough; the gotchas are the 13 Chocobo Woods on this page and the Living Woods above. Cast Sight from the world map before the Crystal Tower mirror to confirm every dot is yellow.
