Objectives | Assault the Ferrothorn Turf with the Black Emboar |
Reward | Item: Heracronite |
After helping with three missions at the Black Emboar HQ, James asks you to help take care of the Black Ferrothorn once and for all. At the end of this mission he’ll give you the Heracronite mega stone.
Starting the Mission

You’ll need to have completed three missions at The Black Emboar HQ before you can start here:
- #003 A Minor Scrap
- #024 Flushed Away
- #046 Odd Odd Docks
To have those missions open in the first place, you have to have defeated James at Crater Town and the Terror Granbull mission in Route 10. For that, just head to the Black Emboar HQ next to the Poke Mart and talk to James.

With those missions complete, James sees the opportunity to get rid of the Black Ferrothorn once and for all.
How to Complete

James has a plan to strike them at Black Ferrothorn headquarters, and he will do it by breaking through to it from the sewers.
James and his whole crew leave for the sewers, and it’s time for you to follow them. Head down the staircase in the Emboar HQ and you’ll be in the north section.

Crawl through the sewer pipe to the south section, this time going southwest along the walkway until you reach the platform from this angle.

Continue along the edge of the platform until you see James and his crew to the southeast of it.

James will bust a hole in the bottom of the Ferrothorn headquarters, and after he does so, the invasion begins.

When James and his goons are through, follow them and you’ll find yourself in Ferrothorn Turf.
Inside Ferrothorn HQ

You pop up on 1F, and there is pandemonium everywhere – goons fighting goons. They’re far too busy to take notice of you, so take the northeast staircase to 2F.
2F Electrode Floor Puzzle

It seems like the Scientist gave her Electrode traps to the Black Ferrothorn, because the floor up here is filled with them.

One wrong step on this floor and you’ll be thrown back to the beginning.
- From the staircase landing, walk west two steps to the crate.
- Walk south two steps to the wall.
- Walk west three steps to the crate.

- Wait at the crate for the biker to turn his back on you. Then, walk north one step, west four steps, south six steps and west one step until you are in front of the second pot plant on the left-hand side of the hallway. You must do this quickly before the biker turns around.

- Wait until the biker turns north, then walk south one step and east four steps to the crate. This should take you out of sight.

- Walk south one step.
- Walk east two steps.
- Walk north one step.
- Go east three steps to the staircase.

Now you’re free to climb the staircase to 3F.

You will see a goon on the left – he will challenge you to a battle.

After beating him, go north.

There are three towers with lights on them, slowly changing colors in sequence. You’ll need to press a button on them in the correct order to open the gate to 4F.

There’s another goon to beat up here, as well as two more puzzles to solve.

The first is in the southwest corner – a short Electrode floor that leads to an item.
4F Electrode Floor Puzzle

- Stand on a tile on the southern most row, five steps away from the crate in the corner.
- Walk two steps west.
- Walk two steps north to the wall.
- Walk three steps west to the pot plant.
- Walk one step left.
You’ll pick up a Full Restore, which will be very handy in the battles ahead.
4F Sequence Puzzle

In the southeast corner is another sequence puzzle.
- Southwest.
- Southeast.
- Northwest.
- Southeast.
- Southwest.
- Northwest.
- Northeast.

This will open the gate so you can head up the northeast staircase.

You’ll see one more sequence puzzle, this time with five towers and a goon in the middle. If you’re on the easiest difficulty, the goon will not fight you. If you aren’t, the goon will wait until you’re halfway through the puzzle before attacking.

Once that’s over and done with, there’s only one staircase in the building left to take, and that’s straight to the top floor and the boss room.
Black Ferrothorn Boss Battle

You make it all the way to the boss, only to be told that the Black Emboar are outnumbered and you’ll have to fight not to be disposed of there and then.

There’s a variety of types here so more than one strong Pokémon is required – something like Camerupt will work well.

Even though you’ve beaten their boss, the Black Ferrothorn are much stronger than the Black Emboar, and James has to leave town in a hurry.

Before leaving, James left an item outside for us to take – a Heracronite.
