How to Clear Myth of the Ruins

1. Light All Six Crystablooms

Start the Ruins at Research Level 2. Proceed through the course and light up all the six crystablooms near the statues inside the ruins.

Locations of the Six Crystablooms

Beside the Meganium statue	Beside the Wishiwashi statue
Hiding behind the stalagmites past the Steelix statue	Throw some Illumina Orbs at the Eldegross beside the Volcarona statue to reveal the crystabloom
Throw an Illumina Orb at the Golurk near the Milotic statue to reveal the crystabloom	Once all five crystablooms are lit, light up the last one near the end of the course

2. Wake Up Jirachi

Find Jirachi at the third Steelix statue and throw an Illumina Orb at it to wake it up.

3. Play the Melody when Jirachi is Near the Light

Jirachi appears near the altar at the end of the course. Play the Melody as soon as it appears.

4. Throw an Illumina Orb at Jirachi

While playing the Melody, throw an Illumina Orb at Jirachi. The Pokemon moves fast so you may need to throw the orb at it multiple times.

5. Play the Melody when Jirachi Stops Moving

Once you hit Jirachi with the Illumina Orb, play the Melody as soon as the Pokemon stops moving.

6. Take a Photo of Jirachi Praying

As soon as you play the Melody, Jirachi starts to dance in place. After it stops dancing, it will holds its hands together in a praying pose before casting some sparkles.

Take a photo of it praying to complete this request.

Note that the photo of Jirachi dancing counts as a 4 Star Photo but this does not complete the request.
