Exploring the expansive Hisui region in Pokemon Legends Arceus offers trainers a variety of immersive mysteries that branch away from the main narrative. One of the most detailed optional tasks is Request 22, titled Eerie Apparitions in the Night, which challenges players to track down hidden glowing objects scattered across the land. Successfully completing this massive scavenger hunt requires patience, sharp eyes, and a strategic understanding of how environmental conditions affect your visibility.
Understanding the Eerie Apparitions Quest
The quest officially begins in Jubilife Village after you receive the Odd Keystone from a mysterious young girl named Vessa. She explains that 107 purple wisps have been scattered across the various sub-regions of Hisui due to a strange magical mishap. To help restore balance to the region, you must explore every corner of the world to gather these floating spirits.
While exploring during the daytime can reveal these spirits if you are close enough, hunting for them after sunset is highly recommended. The purple flames glow brightly against the dark environments, allowing you to spot them from significant distances while flying high in the air. Utilizing your specialized ride Pokemon, particularly Braviary, makes the vertical traversal much easier when checking tall cliffs and hidden mountain peaks.
Wisp Locations Across the Hisui Regions
The 107 wisps are distributed evenly across the five main wilderness maps, with an additional handful located right inside the main village hub. Specifically, Jubilife Village contains 7 wisps, while the Obsidian Fieldlands, Crimson Mirelands, Cobalt Coastlands, Coronet Highlands, and Alabaster Icelands each hold exactly 20 pieces. This uniform distribution allows trainers to systematically clear one region at a time before moving forward.
Many of these collectibles are positioned in tricky environmental locations, such as behind large waterfalls, inside deep cave systems, or on top of isolated rock pillars. If you find yourself missing a single spirit in a zone, try changing the in-game time to midnight at a nearby base camp. Taking your time to methodically scan the landscape using a grid pattern will ensure that no hidden nook goes unnoticed during your nightly excursions.
Milestone Rewards and the Ultimate Encounter
Vessa provides valuable intermediate items as you reach specific collection milestones throughout your long journey. These rewards include rare evolutionary items like the Dusk Stone, Oval Stone, and Reaper Cloth, which help you complete your Pokedex without relying entirely on space-time distortions. You will also receive high-tier training items like Grit Gravel and Candy to boost your team's combat capabilities.
Once you successfully return all 107 spirits to the stone structure, Vessa will invite you to meet her at the Shrouded Ruins inside the Crimson Mirelands. This final interaction unlocks a rare encounter with the ghost and poison type Pokemon, Spiritomb. Catching this unique creature is an essential step for players who want to achieve full completion and ultimately face Arceus at Mount Coronet.
