Star Ocean: The Second Story R - Unlocking the Bunny Mount

The Star Ocean series has always stood out from other JRPGs, not just because of its action-based combat system, but also due to its distinct features like item customization, skill learning, and party member relationships. These elements make it a truly unique experience compared to other games in the same genre.

Star Ocean: The Second Story R, in particular, retains a classic style reminiscent of the Final Fantasy games of the PS1 generation. One charming aspect of the game is its adorable alternative to the Chocobo – the giant Bunnies, which can be ridden as mounts. These Bunnies allow the party to access inaccessible areas and help avoid enemies on the battlefield. This guide will provide players with the necessary steps to unlock the Bunny Mounts in Star Ocean: The Second Story R.

Specialties to Get the Bunnies in Star Ocean: The Second Story R

To unlock the Super Specialty called Bunny Call in Star Ocean: The Second Story R and use Bunnies as mounts, players need to invest points and time into specific skills. Leveling up these specialties and skills requires SP, but there is a way to obtain super specialties early. Follow these steps:

1. Press the Camp Menu button, which is Triangle on the PlayStation or X on the Switch.

Highlight and select Improve.

Select IC/Specialty Skills.

Begin investing skill points in Determination, as it serves to decrease the amount of SP required for leveling up other skills and specialties.

Subsequently, focus on allocating SP to Animal Training and Whistling, which will result in the advancement of the Familiar specialty.

Invest SP in the Danger Radar skill to level up Scouting and increase the party's STM. Upon reaching Level 1 in Scouting and 4 in Familiar, the party can utilize the Super Specialty Call Bunny.

How to Call the Bunny in Star Ocean: The Second Story R

In Star Ocean: The Second Story R, players can now summon a Bunny as a mount to transport the party to previously inaccessible areas such as the mountains. These mountains often conceal chests containing valuable armor and accessories. The Bunny is a swift mode of transportation and enemies will not appear while the party is being carried. To summon the Bunny in the field, simply follow the steps below:

1. Depart from a town or dungeon and venture into the open field.

Press the Camp Menu button - Triangle on PlayStation or X on Switch.

Highlight and select IC/Specialty.

To access the Super Specialties menu, press R1 on the PlayStation or R on the Switch. From there, choose Bunny Call to determine the success rate of calling the Bunny based on the Familiar specialty level of the party.

If the party gets the reply, "It doesn't like you very much," try again until it works.

Ten failed attempts at calling the Bunny unlocks the Tearful Bunnies trophy.

Star Ocean: The Second Story R is available now for the PC, PS4, PS5, and Switch.
