Catching the Legendary Forces of Nature trio in Pokemon Legends: Arceus represents one of the most grueling post-game challenges players will face. These elusive sky deities do not simply wait around for a standard battle, instead requiring specific weather conditions and stealth tactics to subdue. Securing these powerful creatures is essential for completing the Hisui Pokédex and unlocking the final mysteries of the region.
Unlocking the Incarnate Forces Quest
Before you can track down these flying titans, you must first complete the main story missions up through the encounter with Volo. Once these requirements are met, return to the Galaxy Team Headquarters in Jubilife Village to speak with Cogita. She will officially hand you Request 94, titled Incarnate Forces of Hisui, which provides the necessary clues to find the trio.It is highly recommended that your party members are at least level 60 before venturing out on this journey. Each of the Legendary genies spawns at level 70 and boasts devastating signature attacks that can quickly wipe out unprepared teams. Disabling your game's autosave feature before initiating these encounters provides a useful safety net if you accidentally knock one out.
Tracking Landorus in the Obsidian Fieldlands
Landorus is traditionally the most straightforward member of the trio to locate because he does not require specific weather patterns to spawn. Trainers should travel directly to Ramanas Island, located in the southernmost portion of the Obsidian Fieldlands. You will easily spot the Ground and Flying-type deity floating across the island's grassy plains.
Approaching Landorus directly triggers aggressive behavior, causing him to throw violent whirlwinds that push you away. Players should utilize smoke bombs or tall grass to conceal their movements and creep close enough to launch items. You must successfully hit him three times with stunning items like mud balls or sticky globs to permanently shatter his hurricane barrier.
Finding Thundurus in the Cobalt Coastlands
Locating Thundurus demands patience, as the Electric and Flying-type legendary only manifests during active thunderstorms. Trainers can repeatedly rest at the Coastlands campsites to cycle through the weather until a heavy storm rolls over the region. Once the conditions are correct, ride your Basculegion out into the open waters near Sand's Reach.
Subduing this target on the water is uniquely difficult because you must navigate the waves while dodging massive lightning strikes. Throwing smoke bombs directly onto the water allows you to obscure his vision and close the distance safely. Sneaking behind his back provides an excellent opportunity to launch a heavy ball and initiate a proper combat sequence.
Confronting Tornadus in the Alabaster Icelands
Tornadus stands as the final elemental hurdle, appearing strictly during fierce blizzards within the bone-chilling northern wastes. Trainers must head toward the center of the Bonechill Wastes while ensuring a snowstorm is actively raging across the mountains. The surrounding area is densely populated with aggressive local wild Pokemon that should be cleared out beforehand.
Much like his counterparts, Tornadus protects himself with an icy tempest shield that deflects incoming Poke Balls. Utilizing stealth sprays helps muffle your footsteps while you maneuver through the deep snowbanks. Breaking his defensive barrier requires rapid item throws, which will stun the deity long enough for you to deploy your best combat companion.
