Request 20: The Mysterious Will-o'-the-Wisp

Complete Request 20: The Mysterious Will-o'-the-Wisp in Pokemon Legends: Arceus. Find Misdreavus in Obsidian Fieldlands' Floaro Gardens at night and observe it.

Request 20, "The Mysterious Will-o'-the-Wisp," is a unique quest that involves tracking down a peculiar phenomenon in the Hisui region. This request tasks you with finding and interacting with a specific Pokémon that is causing a bit of a stir. It’s a great opportunity to explore a less-traveled area and practice your observation skills. Prepare to venture into the dark and misty parts of Hisui.

This request is initiated by a concerned villager named Tsumugi, who can be found in Jubilife Village. She speaks of strange, flickering lights seen in the middle of the night, particularly in the Floaro Gardens area of the Obsidian Fieldlands. These lights are described as a "will-o'-the-wisp," a phenomenon often associated with mischievous spirits. Your task is to investigate these lights, identify the Pokémon responsible, and understand its behavior. This quest highlights the more mystical and folklore-driven aspects of Hisui.

Where to Find the Will-o'-the-Wisp:

The mysterious lights, or the "will-o'-the-wisp," are associated with the Pokémon Misdreavus. You will need to find Misdreavus in its natural habitat.

• Location: Obsidian Fieldlands: The primary area where you can find Misdreavus is the Floaro Gardens in the Obsidian Fieldlands. This area is known for its lush vegetation and can be quite dark, especially at night.
• Time of Day: Nighttime: Misdreavus are nocturnal Pokémon. You will only be able to find them and observe the "will-o'-the-wisp" phenomenon during the night. Ensure your in-game clock is set to nighttime hours.

Strategy for Finding and Interacting with Misdreavus:

The request specifically asks you to observe the "will-o'-the-wisp," which means you need to find Misdreavus and witness its behavior without necessarily battling it first.

1. Head to Floaro Gardens at Night: Travel to the Floaro Gardens in the Obsidian Fieldlands after dark.
2. Look for Flickering Lights: Keep an eye out for small, flickering lights in the area. These are the "will-o'-the-wisps" caused by Misdreavus.
3. Approach Stealthily: Misdreavus are shy and can be easily startled. Crouch and move slowly towards the lights. Use the tall grass or any available cover to get closer.
4. Observe Misdreavus: Once you are close enough to the lights, you will see a Misdreavus. You should get an on-screen prompt to "Observe." Interact with it to complete this part of the request.
5. Catching Misdreavus (Optional but Recommended): After observing, you will likely want to catch the Misdreavus to complete the request fully and add it to your Pokédex. Misdreavus is a Ghost-type Pokémon. It is weak to Ghost and Dark-type moves. However, it's not a particularly high-level Pokémon, so a well-balanced team can handle it. Use Poké Balls like Ultra Balls for a good catch rate.

Completing the Request:

Once you have observed the Misdreavus and ideally caught it, return to Tsumugi in Jubilife Village. She will be relieved to know the cause of the mysterious lights and will thank you for your investigation. Your reward for completing this request often includes useful items, such as crafting materials or consumables that can help you in your research and battles. This request is a fun way to explore the nocturnal side of Hisui and learn about its folklore.
