You’ll get the Kongamato Mount from the Vath Beast Tribe for 200,00 Gil. The Vath Stickpeddler (The Dravanian Forelands – Loth ast Vath, X:24 Y:19) will offer the Kongamato Whistle for sale once you’ve reached Rank 7 (Sworn) with the Vath Beast Tribe.
Achieving Rank 7 isn’t too difficult (the Vath are Rank 3 Friendly to begin with).
The Sworn Rank requires a total of 1,730 Reputation Points to achieve. Each Daily Quest for the Vath offers 70 Points.
This means you’ll be able to purchase your Kongamato in roughly 19 days. Assuming, of course, that you keep on top of your dailies.
You can also shorten this time slightly by doing additional Quests every time you Rank up.
In between each rank, you’ll also need to complete a regular Quest.
These quests are:
- “Adventurer’s Don’t Get Cold Feet” at Rank 3, received from the Vath Deftarm (The Dravanian Forelands – Loth ast Vath, X:24 Y:19).
- “An Acquired Taste” at Rank 4, received from the Vath Deftarm (The Dravanian Forelands – Loth ast Vath, X:24 Y:19).
- “Your Enemy and Mine” at Rank 5, received from the Vath Deftarm (The Dravanian Forelands – Loth ast Vath, X:24 Y:19).
- “Resistance is Futile” at Rank 6, received from the Vath Deftarm (The Dravanian Forelands – Loth ast Vath, X:24 Y:19)
The last Quest listed above will unlock Rank 7 (Sworn) and access to the Kongamato Whistle you’re looking for.
There are, however, additional Quests and rewards if you choose to keep grinding.
The Path Towards Befriending The Vath
Unlocking the Vath Beast Tribe isn’t too intensive a process.
Firstly you’ll need to have completed the Level 53 Main Story Quest “Lord of the Hive”.
With Ravana quelled, his influence on the hive vanishes and you’re free to pursue their friendship.
Then grab the Quest “The Naming of the Vath” from the Vath Storyteller (The Dravanian Forelands – Loth ast Vath, X:24 Y:19). This Quest has a few objectives you’ll need to complete:
- Search for the Nameless One
- Accompany the Nameless One into the Smoldering Wastes
- Find and slay a Young Melia, then deliver the pliant melia branch to the Nameless One
- Speak with Marcechamp
- Report to the Vath Storyteller in Loth ast Vath
- Speak with the Nameless One
- Mount and ride the Kongamato to the nearby bridge, using the “fumigate” ability on the dragons there
- Report back to the Nameless One
All said and done, you’re now prepared to begin your grind towards the Kongamato Mount!
What The Vath Offer
The Vath have a number of additional rewards you can get on the way towards your Kongamato.
Of special note are the Chocobo Feeds.
The four special feeds that the Vath sell are:
- Sylkis Bud – Increases Chocobo attack potency
- Mimett Gourd – Increases Chocobo healing potency
- Tantalplant – Increases Chocobo maximum HP
- Pahsana Fruit – Increases Chocobo enmity generation
These feeds (when given to your Chocobo while stabled) give it a flat amount of experience.
And after feeding it 10 times, the special effects of the feed are doubled. Meaning whenever your companion is summoned, you pop the feed to gain this bonus.
This is a little known trick to get some extra mileage out of your feathered companion!
It’s also nice because the only other way to get these feeds is through extensive gardening.
But with that said, the Vath Stickpeddler also offers the following items for Gil:
