After defeating Kleavor, a cutscene will play in which you will receive Request 22: Eerie Apparitions in the Night, in which you must collect 107 Wisps scattered across the game's 5 zones and Jubilife Village.
If you collect Wisps absentmindedly, later on when attempting to gather all the Wisps, you will not be sure which ones are still remaining in an area, forcing you to re-check every Wisp spot to figure out which ones are still missing.
The most efficient way to collect Wisps is to wait until you unlock Hisuian Braviary in Alabaster Icelands, and flying around each zone while consulting maps, so resist the urge to grab Wisps early and instead, save them for the right time.

After unlocking Basculegion as a Rideable Pokemon, you will be able to traverse the waters as well as catch Pokemon that you will run into while surfing!
It will be difficult to aim and throw Pokeballs as most of these Pokemon are constantly moving. To make catching Pokemon a lot less challenging, make Basculegion jump by pressing the Y button then while in mid-air, hold ZR to slow down time, giving you an opportunity to adjust your throw.
| 29 | Scaling Perilous Heights Exit the headquarters and battle Adaman outside. Receive your next mission from Cyllene then travel to Coronet Highlands. Note that you must reach a Four Star Rank to enter the Coronet Highlands. |
|---|---|
| 30 | Meet with Ingo and pass through Wayward Cave. When you're back outside, make your way to the mountain and defeat Melli at the entrance of the quarry. |
| 31 | Pass through the quarry and continue making your way up. Ingo will challenge you upon reaching your next destination. |
| 32 | Climb the cliffs with Sneasler then head to Moonview Arena, where Melli will challenge you to another battle. |
| 33 | Defeat the Frenzied Noble Hisuian Electrode in a boss battle then report back to Commander Kamado to complete the mission. ▶ How to Beat Frenzied Noble Hisuian Electrode |

| 39 | Make your way towards Icepeak Arena and defeat the Frenzied Noble Hisuian Avalugg in a boss battle. Report back to Commander Kamado to complete the mission. ▶ How to Beat Frenzied Noble Hisuian Avalugg |
Now that you have the ability to fly, thanks to Hisuian Braviary, you can now reach every Wisp that you need to complete the Eerie Apparitions in the Night Request! It is best to check each map and collect the Wisps in one sweep so you don't forget which ones you already found and which ones remain.
How to Unlock Hisuian Braviary
| 40 | Disaster Looming Go outside your quarters. After a few cutscenes, follow Cyllene to reach the front gate of Jubilife Village. |

| 44 | The Trial of Lake Valor Head to Lake Valor in Crimson Mirelands. Defeat the Alpha Overqwill and try to hit Azelf with the Marsh Balms. You won't be able to hit Azelf but you will complete the trial if you don't give up on throwing. |
| 45 | The Trial of Lake Acuity Head to Lake Acuity in Alabaster Icelands. Defeat the Alpha Hisuian Zoroark and answer Uxie correctly to complete the trial. The answer is 60131. |
| 46 | After finishing all three trials, you will automatically head to the Shrouded Ruins and obtain the Red Chain. |
The choice between Adaman and Irida only affects which of the two Legendary Pokemon you will fight first and which of them will be on their Origin Form. Whoever you choose, Dialga and Palkia's level will be both at 65, so it doesn't matter who you choose unless you have a reason to get the one you like as soon as possible.

|---|---|

In order to visit each new map and progress with the main story, you'll need to complete Research Tasks and reach a certain Star for your Survery Corps Rank. Even if you complete all the story objectives, you won't be able to continue on unless you've finished enough Research Tasks and gained enough Research Points to proceed.
Although there are ten ranks in total, only reaching the five star rank is required for completing the main story, so you don't need to continue grinding once you've reached this point.
| Star Rank | Area Unlocked |
|---|---|
| Second Star Member | Crimson Mirelands |
| Third Star Member | Cobalt Coastlands |
| Fourth Star Member | Coronet Highlands |
| Fifth Star Member | Alabaster Icelands |
How to Increase Research Level Fast
After completing Mission 6: Summoned by Commander Kamado, you gain the ability to increase your inventory space. We recommend upgrading the satchel as soon as you unlock the option as this makes gathering Crafting Materials easier.
How to Increase Satchel (Inventory) Size
Unlike in previous Pokemon games, no prompt will appear if a Pokemon learns a new move upon leveling up. You need to manually replace the move in the Satchel menu if you want to use the new one.
In addition, replacing a move does not make the Pokemon forget it permanently, so you can always go back and change the previous move that was replaced.
Unlike previous Pokemon games, catching a Pokemon does not complete their Pokedex entries. Instead, you need to complete research tasks assigned to each Pokemon.
Each Pokemon have a unique set of research tasks to do, although the most common include: catching it, defeating it, observing it perform a specific move, and evolving it. You can find the list of research tasks for each Pokemon in the Research Tasks menu of your Pokedex.
Research Tasks Guide: How to Complete the Pokedex
After completing Research Tasks for certain Pokemon, you can go to Professor Laventon at the Base Camp to update the Pokedex. The updates to your Pokedex will be calculated into Pokemon Research Points, which helps you level up to the next Star Rank and unlock new areas.
Updating the Pokedex also helps you earn money, which you can use to stock up on items you need for your adventure.
How to Get Research Points Fast and Increase Research Level
Missions are regarded as main quests in Pokemon Legends: Arceus. Completing Missions will progress the story and further unravel the mysteries surrounding the region of Hisui!
