Like all the other regions in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, the Gongaga Region has various secrets that are just waiting to be uncovered. This particular area is unlocked during Chapter 9 of Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth. This particular biome is very challenging to traverse, as some places cannot be reached on foot.

As players walk through the Gongaga Region, they will notice some massive mushrooms and vines. They won't be able to use them unless they get their hands on the Forest Chocobo. The path to the Fungi Forest Tower (Activation Intel 5) in the Gongaga Region is also locked and can only be accessed after obtaining the Chocobo.
