Tip: Make a party with two of the required summon/characters + a fast group damage dealer and you can clear the character usage missions while also farming the required monsters.
IMPORTANT NOTICE
Both Plant Golems and Krakens can be hunted easily by completing the Waking Nightmare Co-Op quests. There are 2 of each per fight, making this chocobo panel almost brainless. This guide exists mostly for the benefit of those players who leave everything to the last minute, and somehow manage to reach the last day of this chocoboard without completing those objectives. Yes, I am talking about you! Now check below where you can find them since the co-op has already closed, Person Reading This In The Future!
Plant Golem Types x15
Story Act 2, Chapter 10 4th floor: Quick Encounter Pt. 9 (Normal difficulty) has 2 Plant Golems in 1 wave, completing the mission in 8 fights.
