Abyssal Ruins

General Tips: Plan your routes to cover fewer tiles per run. Explore 1F in sections, fully clearing one part before moving to the next. The entrance to 2F is equidistant from all 1F entrances. For 4F, prioritize a short route to reach the Relic Crown. You can clear about two quarters of 1F per run, requiring 2-3 trips. 2F and 3F can mostly be cleared in a single run. After clearing 1F, head directly to the 2F entrance, and similarly for 2F to 3F, to save time.

Required HM Pokémon: You need Pokémon that know Flash and Strength to access 3F and 4F. Flash is used on a purple block in 2F, and Strength on a block in 3F, to move them aside.

Relic Items: All _Relic_ items found in the ruins can be sold to a Black Belt in the house west of the Marine Tube entrance in Undella Town. He can offer up to $300,000 for a _Relic_ item, such as the Relic Crown. Selling these items is highly recommended as they have no other use.

Mysterious Text: Inspecting purple walls reveals unreadable symbols. Speaking to Zinzolin in Undella Town translates these symbols into English letters, but they must be read backwards to make sense. On 2F, read backwards one letter (e.g., 'M' becomes 'L'). On 3F, read backwards two letters. On 4F, read backwards three letters. Some symbols on 4F appear as black circles and cannot be translated.

Floor 4: This floor is small and straightforward. Collect the Relic Crown from the center. You can then return to Floor 3 for more looting or intentionally get booted out of the ruins.

Post-Completion Reward: After reaching the end of the ruins, Zinzolin will give you a Big Pearl the next time you speak to him.
