The first part of Vivill Woods / Pokémon Unbound
The first part of Vivill Woods

Vivill Woods is full of Bug Pokémon and trainers who use them, and you’ll need to go through it to get to Vivill Town to stop the Light of Ruin.

When you enter the woods, head east through the long grass.

Bug Catcher Kent / Pokémon Unbound
Bug Catcher Kent

You will probably run into Bug Catcher Kent on your way through. Eventually, you will come to a clearing.

Medium Hope / Pokémon Unbound
Medium Hope

Walk west and you’ll have to get past Medium Hope. Keep heading west until you see an opportunity to go north through another patch of long grass.

Bug Catcher Robby / Pokémon Unbound
Bug Catcher Robby

There’s a Bug Catcher walking around here.

Getting a New Pokemon

The way forward is actually east, but there’s an important thing to pick up here on the other side of the pond.

A Poke Ball with a Pokemon in it / Pokémon Unbound
A Poke Ball with a Pokemon in it

There’s a Poke Ball here, and it’s not empty or an item – it’s an actual Pokémon.

Depending on your Trainer ID, which is random, you’ll receive either a Foongus or a Morelull. If you evolve the Pokémon you receive, you’ll be able to trade it for the other one in Vivill Town.

Leaving towards Vivill Town

After you get the Pokémon, go back to where you came from and head east into the final clearing of Vivill Woods.

Bug Maniac Kelgo is waiting to challenge you, but after him, the exit is in sight.

Head on through the exit to the north and you’ll find yourself at your destination at last.

Your Rival is waiting for you / Pokémon Unbound
Your Rival is waiting for you

As soon as you emerge into Vivill Town though, it’s rainy and gloomy, and nobody seems to be around.

Except your Rival, who is impatient to get things moving.

Only the Pokémon Center and Poke Mart are open / Pokémon Unbound
Only the Pokémon Center and Poke Mart are open

All of the townsfolk are hiding in their houses or fled, but you still can heal your Pokémon at the Pokémon Center or buy things at the Mart.

When you’re ready to take on the Light of Ruin, walk north to the warehouse.

Famous last words / Pokémon Unbound
Famous last words

Together with your Rival, you confront the Light of Ruin guard on the door, and he boasts that the Light of Ruin are too strong to be taken down by just two people – you’re gonna need backup.

The Shadows arrive for revenge / Pokémon Unbound
The Shadows arrive for revenge

Well, backup arrives, in spectacular fashion.

The Shadows arrive on a boat and blow a hole in the side of the facility, taking the Light of Ruin by surprise.

Your Rival takes that opportunity to knock the guard out, so you’re free to follow him into the warehouse.

The Shadow Warriors are here as well / Pokémon Unbound
The Shadow Warriors are here as well

The first thing you see while inside is a Shadow Warrior dealing with a whole group of Light of Ruin Grunts.

When it’s done with them, it comes for you.

Avoid the fire - it applies Burn / Pokémon Unbound
Avoid the fire – it applies Burn

When you’ve defeated it, the way is clear to head downstairs. There are patches of fire still left from its battle with the Grunts – do not touch them or you’ll burn your Pokémon.

The guard makes one last effort to stop you / Pokémon Unbound
The guard makes one last effort to stop you

When you make it to the staircase, the guard from outside wants to fight.

He’s easily taken care of, though, and you’re free to head down into the lobby.

Arriving on B1F / Pokémon Unbound
Arriving on B1F

Your Rival has rushed ahead of you (as usual) so you’ll need to find a way to get to the leaders of the Light of Ruin yourself.

From the staircase, head west.

The teleporter junction / Pokémon Unbound
The teleporter junction

There are four teleporter pads here in a junction of sorts. Your Rival went through one of them, and they lead to different areas in the base.

For now though, ignore these teleport pads and just keep going west.

The stairs to B2F / Pokémon Unbound
The stairs to B2F

Walk down the stairs you find to the west and you’ll end up in a flooded chamber.

The Shadows’ ship broke through here / Pokémon Unbound
The Shadows’ ship broke through here

Apparently this used to be the Research Lab, before the Shadows arrived of course. Now you’ll have to surf across it.

A special teleporter revealed / Pokémon Unbound
A special teleporter revealed

In the southwest corner of the flooded lab, there’s a Strength boulder lying on a special green teleport pad.

Step on it, and you’ll find yourself in the Command Centre.

The Shadows can’t get inside / Pokémon Unbound
The Shadows can’t get inside

However, there’s a door they can’t get past. And you’ll need to find the password to open it for them.

The password is six letters long, and the Shadows already have one letter, so that’s five letters you need to find.

Finding the Password

Head back up to the lobby on B1F to start the scavenger hunt.

Use the southwest pad first / Pokémon Unbound
Use the southwest pad first

Start your search by stepping on the southwest teleport pad – it will take you to another area of B2F, the Rest Room.

Time to anger a Shadow Warrior / Pokémon Unbound
Time to anger a Shadow Warrior

Here, a Light of Ruin Grunt is being attacked by a Shadow Warrior.

In order to resolve things, you’ll have to go up to the Shadow Warrior and remove its cloak, which makes it mad enough to attack you.

O is the first letter acquired / Pokémon Unbound
O is the first letter acquired

The Grunt is grateful to you for saving him and gives you a letter of the password, as well as telling you that you can rest here at any time to heal your Pokémon.

Take the top teleport pad to proceed / Pokémon Unbound

There are two teleport pads in this room – you arrived on the bottom one, so step on the one on top to go to a new area.

Another area of B2F / Pokémon Unbound

It takes you to a hallway of sorts elsewhere on B2F.

Head northwest, and you’ll see another Light of Ruin Grunt. However, this one isn’t friendly and will challenge you.

The stairs down / Pokémon Unbound

Once they’re defeated, head down the staircase and you’ll be on B3F, the storage level.

After you make it down the stairs, go east and you’ll see a whole pile of boxes.

Move through them and you’ll see another teleport pad – step on it and it will take you to a small room back on B2F.

The tiny room and the second letter / Pokémon Unbound
The tiny room and the second letter

There’s a Grunt here that will fight you – and afterwards he will give you the second letter you need for the password.

With that done, go all the way back to the teleporter lobby area.

The next stop is the northwest teleport pad / Pokémon Unbound
The next stop is the northwest teleport pad

This time, step on the northwest pad and it will whisk you away to the Cafeteria.

The Cafeteria / Pokémon Unbound
The Cafeteria

The Light of Ruin and Shadow Grunts are too busy fighting each other to take much notice of you, so walk north and the next telepad you need is in the northwest corner.

The Kitchen / Pokémon Unbound
The Kitchen

It takes you to the southwest pad in the Kitchen, and there’s another Shadow Warrior to defeat.

Instead of being grateful, the Light of Ruin Grunt it was menacing has the cheek to challenge you right after.

The third letter / Pokémon Unbound
The third letter

They’ll give you the third letter if you defeat them, though. Progress is being made.

The northwest teleport pad leads to the Break Room, and from there it connects back to the lobby’s northeast pad, if you need a quick link back to heal.

The next pad is the southeast one / Pokémon Unbound
The next pad is the southeast one

Take the southeast teleport pad in the Kitchen and it leads to another small storage room.

Take the other teleport pad here and you’ll be back down on the storage level – this time in an area you couldn’t access.

Another Shadow Warrior / Pokémon Unbound
Another Shadow Warrior

Defeat the Shadow Warrior that immediately leaps to attack you when you arrive.

The fourth letter / Pokémon Unbound
The fourth letter

The Light of Ruin Grunt here thanks you with the fourth letter of the password. Just one more letter to go.

Go back to the teleporter lobby – there’s only one more pad to take.

The remaining unaccounted-for pad / Pokémon Unbound
The remaining unaccounted-for pad

The southeast pad is the one you need – step on it, and you will be in the Power Grid room.

The Power Grid / Pokémon Unbound
The Power Grid

There’s another Shadow Warrior-Light of Ruin Grunt pairing to defeat here.

The final letter / Pokémon Unbound
The final letter

However, it is the last fight – this Grunt gives you the final letter you need for the password.

Once you win just go back to the flooded lab and then to the control center, and talk to the scientist.

Unlocking the Door

The letters you get add up to AKLOV – and the letter the Shadows have is an E, so that’s “AKLOVE”.

The password is obvious in retrospect / Pokémon Unbound

Now the Shadows can storm into the control room and confront the leader of the Light of Ruin.

Ivory is the one in charge of the base / Pokémon Unbound
Ivory is the one in charge of the base

It’s Marlon’s wife, Ivory, who has betrayed the Shadows and is Aklove’s second in command.

There isn’t much time for reunion speeches though – soon after, Aklove and Hoopa emerge from a portal.

Aklove gets the bad news / Pokémon Unbound
Aklove gets the bad news

The Shadows ship crashing into the base has destroyed Aklove’s research, and he feels pretty angry about it.

Your Rival shows up, and gets the painful revelation that Marlon and Ivory are his parents. Aklove teleports Marlon, Zeph and your Rival away to parts unknown, before confronting you.

Aklove challenges you / Pokémon Unbound

In order to get out of here, you’ll have to follow some paths through a weird and changing landscape.
