Request 69, officially known as "Gone Astray...in the Highlands," is a specific side quest in Pokémon Legends: Arceus that you begin by speaking with Zeke in Galaxy Hall. This request does not directly lead to obtaining the mythical Pokémon Arceus; rather, it is one of many side activities in the game. Obtaining Arceus requires completing extensive gameplay beyond individual requests.
Initiating Request 69: "Gone Astray...in the Highlands"
To begin Request #69, you must first complete the main story mission titled "Scaling Perilous Heights." Once this prerequisite is met, you can initiate the request by following these steps:
- Speak with Zeke: Head inside the Galaxy Hall in Jubilife Village. Locate and interact with Zeke, the leader of the Security Corps.
- Receive the Mission: Zeke will inform you that his sister, Wanda, has once again gone missing, this time in the vast expanse of the Coronet Highlands.
This interaction marks the start of Request 69, which involves tracking down Wanda in the specified location within the Coronet Highlands.
How to Obtain Arceus in Pokémon Legends: Arceus
It is crucial to understand that Request 69 is a standalone side quest and is not the direct method to "get" Arceus. The process of encountering and catching Arceus is the ultimate goal for players who fully complete the main storyline and achieve specific milestones in the game. Here's a general overview of the comprehensive requirements to obtain Arceus:
- Complete the Main Story: Progress through and finish all primary story missions in Pokémon Legends: Arceus, including facing various Legendary Pokémon as part of the narrative.
- Encounter All Pokémon: Successfully encounter every non-mythical Pokémon in the Hisui region to complete your Hisui Pokédex. This involves catching or otherwise registering all entries.
- Challenge Arceus: After fulfilling these extensive requirements, you will be able to challenge Arceus atop the Spear Pillar on Mount Coronet during a special post-game event.
While completing side quests like Request 69 contributes to overall game progression and can enrich your experience, they are not the singular path to acquiring Arceus. Request 69 specifically helps locate a character, Wanda, and does not involve Arceus as a reward or direct objective.
