Discover the optional Fiery Path in Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire! Find TM96 Nature Power, TM06 Toxic, and a Fire Stone with this quick guide.
Alright, so you've made it to the Fiery Path! This is an optional area, but it's definitely worth a quick detour to grab some useful items. Think of it as a little bonus dungeon.
Walkthrough
- 1As soon as you enter the Fiery Path, head north (or south, depending on which entrance you used). You'll quickly run into a guy named Aarune. He'll give you TM96 Nature Power before heading off.
- 2Right near where you met Aarune, you'll spot a big boulder. This is a 'Strength boulder' – remember how you learned Strength? Now's the time to use it! Examine the boulder and push it westward until it falls into a hole.
- 3After pushing the boulder, head north. You'll find another Strength boulder. Push this one westward until it gets stopped by some rocks.
- 4If you venture pretty far north from this second boulder, keep an eye out on the ground. You'll find a yellow item ball containing TM06 Toxic. This TM is super useful for inflicting Bad Poisoning, which can really wear down tough Pokémon that like to just sit there and take hits. It's basically a death sentence over five turns!
- 5Now, head back south, then go west and follow the path for a little bit. You'll find a Fire Stone. That's pretty much all there is to find in this optional area, so you're good to go!
Tips
