Relic Castle (Via Desert Resort)

Learn how to explore Relic Castle via the Desert Resort entrance in Pokémon Black 2 and White 2, including trainer battles and item locations.

Alright, so you're heading into Relic Castle from the Desert Resort entrance in Pokémon Black 2 and White 2. Honestly, there isn't a ton going on here, so you'll probably zip through it pretty quickly. You can chat with a Scientist if you feel like it, but the main thing to do is find one of those quicksand holes and jump in. Don't worry, it's the intended path!

When you land on the floor below, keep an eye out for your Dowsing MCHN – it'll point you to an item. Grab it, and you'll find a Heart Scale. From there, head to the right. You'll run into your first trainer battle.

Once you've taken care of that Psychic, make your way to the stairs and head back up. You'll be on the top floor again. You can jump over the ledge to get back to where you started. This time, though, go left and hug the edge of the west sinkhole. Be careful here – you need to walk, not run, around the edge, or you'll fall in. Keep going around it, and you'll find another trainer waiting for you.

After that battle, head down the stairs to the lower level again. Then, move to the right to face the last trainer in this area.

Keep moving right and you'll find a TM. It's TM39, which teaches Rock Tomb. And that's pretty much it for this part of Relic Castle! You can stick around and battle some wild Pokémon if you want, but otherwise, your best bet is to backtrack to the entrance and head out.
