Finding all the wisps in Pokémon Legends: Arceus is one of the most rewarding side quests in the Hisui region. Players must gather 107 glowing purple wisps scattered across five main regions to fulfill Request 22, Eerie Apparitions in the Night. Completing this quest unlocks a encounter with Spiritomb, making it an essential task for trainers aiming to complete their Pokédex.
Understanding Request 22 and How Wisps Work
Request 22 is initiated in Jubilife Village after speaking with a young girl named Vessa. She gives you the Odd Keystone and tasks you with tracking down 107 wisps across the land. Wisps emit a bright purple glow that is far easier to spot during the nighttime in Hisui.
Searching for wisps during the day can be challenging because their rendering distance is severely reduced. Changing the time of day at any base camp ensures maximum visibility across large areas. Riding fast mounts like Hisuian Braviary or Wyrdeer makes traveling between locations much smoother.
Obsidian Fieldlands and Crimson Mirelands Wisp Locations
The Obsidian Fieldlands contains 20 wisps scattered across cliffs, riverbanks, and elevated peaks. Key areas to inspect include Horseshoe Plains, Ramanas Island, and the high ridges surrounding Lake Verity. Using Braviary allows you to scan the dark landscape for purple lights easily.
In the Crimson Mirelands, another 20 wisps are tucked away near muddy ruins and steep slopes. Concentrate your search around Solaceon Ruins, Bolderpass, and the outskirts of Lake Valor. Traversing these marshlands at night prevents you from missing wisps hidden behind dense trees.
Cobalt Coastlands and Coronet Highlands Search Routes
The Cobalt Coastlands features 20 wisps distributed across islands, coastal cliffs, and sandy beaches. Important spots include Veilstone Cape, Firespit Island, and the small islands scattered near Seagaze Oracle. Flight is especially helpful here to check high sea stacks without climbing.
Coronet Highlands presents a more complex vertical challenge with its 20 wisp locations. Many wisps rest on high mountainous ledges near Wayward Cave, Celestica Ruins, and Sacred Plaza. Sneasler and Braviary are vital tools for navigating these steep terrain elevation changes.
Alabaster Icelands and Jubilife Village Locations
The final region, Alabaster Icelands, holds 20 wisps hidden amid snowy glaciers and icy caverns. Keep a close eye on Avalanche Slopes, Pearl Settlement, and inside ice caves where wisps shine brightly. The stark white background makes nighttime hunting in the snow relatively straightforward.
Do not forget the remaining 7 wisps located within Jubilife Village itself. These wisps are tucked behind houses, near the training grounds, and along the river edges. Collecting every single wisp completes the Odd Keystone and triggers the final battle with Spiritomb at the Shrouded Ruins.
