Relic Castle

Navigate the maze of Relic Castle in Pokémon Black and White. Discover wild Pokémon, battle trainers, and choose your ancient fossil!

Alright, so you've made it to Relic Castle! This place is an ancient ruin, probably built to honor some super important Legendary Pokémon that's key to the whole story. It's pretty run-down now, filled with sand and a bunch of angry wild Pokémon just waiting to battle.

For now, you can only explore the first floor (1F) and the basement (B1F). There isn't a ton to do yet, but you'll find some important stuff.

Keep an eye out for patches of quicksand on the first floor. If you walk over them, you'll be fine. But if you try to run, you'll get sucked down to B1F. There are also two Psychic-type trainers who are definitely looking for a fight.

Remember what they say: walk, don't run! It's safer and you won't end up somewhere you don't want to be.

After you carefully cross the quicksand, you'll find a researcher waiting for you. They'll give you a choice between two ancient fossils. You can take these back to the gym in Nacrene City to be brought back to life. The Cover Fossil will revive into Tirtouga, a Water/Rock type, and the Plume Fossil will revive into Archen, a Rock/Flying type. Choose wisely!
