Tracking down every glowing purple wisp in Pokemon Legends Arceus is essential for trainers hoping to complete their Pokédex and catch Spiritomb. Request 22, titled Eerie Apparitions in the Night, tasks players with gathering 107 wisps scattered across the Hisui region. Finding all of them requires patience, nighttime exploration, and a structured route across every major area.
Starting Request 22 in Jubilife Village
The journey begins early in the game when a young girl named Vessa approaches you in Jubilife Village. She grants you the Odd Keystone and asks you to collect the missing wisps scattered across Hisui. Jubilife Village itself contains seven wisps hidden behind buildings and along shoreline paths.
Gathering the initial village wisps helps familiarize trainers with how these glowing items look in the environment. Searching around houses, water edges, and farm areas ensures you do not leave Jubilife without clearing every spot.
Wisp Locations Across Major Hisui Regions
Each major region outside the village holds exactly 20 wisps waiting to be collected. You will need to search through the Obsidian Fieldlands, Crimson Mirelands, Cobalt Coastlands, Coronet Highlands, and Alabaster Icelands. Many wisps are placed high on cliffs or hidden in deep ravines that require braviary flight or braviary mounts.
Because wisps glow brightly in the dark, changing the time of day to night at camp makes them far easier to spot from a distance. Scanning the landscape from elevated flight routes allows you to mark distant purple lights on your map quickly.
Best Exploration Strategies for Efficient Hunting
Using your map markers effectively prevents unnecessary backtracking while exploring large regions. Divide each zone into smaller sections and sweep through them systematically during nighttime hours. Traveling with quick land and air mounts speeds up movement between high peaks and low valleys.
Keeping track of your total count per area in the quest menu helps ensure no single wisp gets overlooked. If you are stuck at 19 out of 20 in a region, re-checking small caves and hidden ledges often reveals the final missing flame.
Encountering and Catching Spiritomb
Once all 107 wisps are safely returned to Vessa, she instructs you to meet her at the Shrouded Ruins in the Crimson Mirelands at night. Interacting with the giant Odd Keystone triggers the final phase of the quest. This special encounter allows you to battle and catch Spiritomb to complete your collection entry.
Catching Spiritomb unlocks its presence in the wild as a rare spawn at the same ruins location during future nighttime visits. Completing this request is a mandatory milestone for players aiming to meet Arceus at the end of their journey.
