Chocobo's Dungeon 2 is an action RPG in the style of other Mysterious Dungeon games. In this game, Chocobo descends into dungeon areas alone or with a partner, gathering treasure while finding the passageway to the next floor and satisfying hunger. The game is viewed from the top down as all objects on the screen move at the same time.
Chocobo's Dungeon 2 features Chocobo's character keeping his level and stats between trips to the dungeon, which sets it apart from other Mysterious Dungeon games. Boss monsters wait at the completion of most objectives, and different sub-quests are available from the residents of Monster Town.
Chocobo's Dungeon 2 was released for the PlayStation on November 30th, 1999, and is an action RPG in the style of other games in the Mysterious Dungeon series.

GOLEM
A stone giant created by magic. A giant monster brought to life in order to protect his party. Since Golem's body is made of stone, he is extremely strong.

A giant creature who boasts amazing powers. Behemoth has a body the size of a mountain with mighty arms full of destructive power.
GOBLIN

How to Play
Saving the Game
•
Designated areas like buildings in the Village (e.g., Shiroma's house).
•
Within dungeons before moving to the next floor, but only if carrying a "Memory Tag".
You will always be able to save in designated areas such as Shiroma's house. Within the dungeon, saving before the next floor is only possible if Chocobo has a "Memory Tag".
If HP Reaches Zero
If Chocobo's HP reaches zero, Chocobo and companions will be taken out of the dungeon to ground level. All acquired items, including equipment, will be lost.
Equipped items should be scattered on the level where Chocobo reached zero HP. You can check the floor number where equipped items are scattered by pressing the START button and looking at the Status Screen.
Ending the Game
There is no "game over" in Chocobo's Dungeon 2. You can quit the game at any time (except while saving) by turning the power OFF. Always save before turning the power OFF.
When restarting, the game will resume from the previous save point. It is recommended to save each time you find a rare item.
Dungeons & The Village
