Pokémon Gold Version, Silver Version, and Crystal Version - Walkthrough - Ruins of Alph
This information might be useful when playing Pokémon HeartGold Version and Pokémon SoulSilver Version, too.
These ruins were created about 1500 years ago. It is your job to try to solve its mystery. The first place to go is the Mystery Stone Panel Chamber.
The Chamber is a puzzle. To do the puzzle, you have to move the blocks on the edges to the middle of the puzzle. The pieces form an ancient Pokémon. Here’s a hint: Start with the border first.
When you finish the solution, you may find out that the Pokémon is Kabuto.
When you do complete the puzzle, a small song will play. When this happens, press A to exit the puzzle. |
A scientist will then upgrade your Pokédex. See below to find out more.
Kabuto. "A Pokémon that hid on the sea floor. Eyes on its back scanned the area." Alternatively: "This Pokémon hides on the sea floor and watches the shore with eyes on its back." |
Aerodactyl. "This flying Pokémon attacked its prey with saw-like fangs." Alternatively: "This Pokémon knew no fear and flew as it pleased through the skies long ago." |
Omanyte. "This Pokémon drifted in the sea by twisting its ten tentacles." Alternatively: "A ten-legged Pokémon that swims on the bottom of the sea and eats plankton." |
Ho-Oh. "A Pokémon that flew gracefully on rainbow-colored wings." Alternatively: "This Pokémon, with feathers of seven colors, flies through the sky, according to legend." |
Where can I find these
puzzles?
There are four different puzzles in all. To reach the second one, surf down from the ruins. The third and fourth puzzles can be reached by a passageway from Union Cave: First, go to Union Cave and make your way to the stairs shown in the red circle. You’ll end up on the floor shown in the map on the right. Note that you’ll have to surf and move big rocks -- something a trainer normally can’t do -- to get to all the puzzles. |
When you’re done, go to Route 32.
