Enter Jubilife Village
Your journey in Pokémon Legends: Arceus begins with a dramatic arrival in the Hisui region, leading you directly to Jubilife Village. This humble settlement serves as your base of operations, a safe haven where you can rest, craft, and prepare for your expeditions into the wild. It's here that you'll officially join the Galaxy Expedition Team and receive your first mission, setting the stage for your Pokédex-filling endeavors.
Upon arriving in Jubilife Village after a rather unusual introduction, you'll be greeted by Professor Laventon. He'll guide you through the initial steps of becoming a member of the Galaxy Expedition Team. This involves a brief tutorial on movement and interaction within the village. You'll be given your first starter Pokémon and a crucial item: the Celestica Flute. The village itself is your primary hub for most of the early game, offering essential services and acting as a gateway to the first explorable area, the Obsidian Fieldlands. Take your time to familiarize yourself with the layout, as you'll be returning here frequently.
