Pokemon Legends: Arceus is set in the old times in the Pokemon world at a time when it was rare to find harmony between people and Pokemon. Set in the land of the Hisui region, known as the Sinnoh region in modern times, you’ll join the Galaxy Expedition Team (or just Galaxy Team for short) as a member of the Survey Corps stationed in Jubilife Village. You will be tasked to meet every species of Pokémon from the Hisui region to complete the region’s first-ever Pokédex.
The Galaxy Team will task the player to do missions in the game. Various people will also ask for help from the player in the form of requests. One of these requests is Request 69, titled ‘Gone Astray… in the Highlands. This guide will teach you how to complete the ‘Gone Astray… in the Highlands’ request.
Gone Astray… in the Highlands
To unlock this request, the player must first unlock Sneasler as a rideable Pokemon, which is part of the “Scaling Perilous Heights” mission, the eleventh mission in the game where the player must quell a frenzied Noble Hisuian Electrode, and complete the ‘Gone Astray… in the Coastlands’ Request (request 58) from Zeke in the Galaxy Hall in Jubilife Village.
After that, you can now start this request! To do that, head back to Jubilife Village, enter the Galaxy Hall, and just outside Captain Cyllene’s office on the left, the player will find a man in Agriculture Corps clothing named Zeke. Talk to Zeke, and he will tell the player that his sister, Wanda, is missing again, and this time went to the Coronet Highlands but never returned from the trip. He will then say that he has faith that the player and the player’s Ursaluna will be able to find Wanda, so he will ask the player to find his sister. Zeke will give the player Wanda’s favorite handkerchief so that the player’s Ursaluna, a rideable Pokemon, will pick up her scent. Then, the ‘Gone Astray… in the Highlands’ request has started just like that!
To complete this request, the player must head to the Coronet Highlands and find Zeke’s sister, Wanda, using the rideable Pokemon Ursaluna. When riding Ursaluna, follow the blue indicator until the player and Ursaluna find Wanda. This blue indicator will only appear once the player is close enough to Wanda. Well, now that you are reading this guide. It would be better to tell you where to find Wanda in the Corone Highlands.
Wanda can be found on the next level below the edge of a cliff across the river southeast of the Mountain Camp, which is east of the Sonorous Path, south of Lonely Spring, or north of Heavenward Lookout.
Upon finding Wanda, talk to her, and she will be pleased that the player came to see her and explain that she got hit with a Gust attack from a Honchkrow that sent her tumbling right down the side of the mountain. Then, as she could not climb down or climb back up, she got stuck. After that, she will ask the player to help her get back home. The screen will fade to black, and, when it fades back, the player and Wanda will be in a different location so that Wanda can go home. Wanda will then say she would be better off if the player were in the Security Corps. Select a response from the prompt, and Wanda will say that she is glad that she can rely on the player. After that, Wanda will say that she used to think that Sneasler was a mean Pokemon because of its appearance, but, because it helped her when she was in a tight spot, she now feels that it has a good heart after all. Finally, she will walk back home.
After finding Wanda, head back to Zeke, still on the left side of Captain Cyllene’s office entrance in the Galaxy Hall in Jubilife Village, and talk to him. You will also see his sister, Wanda, beside him. Zeke will then tell the player that it seems there is nothing that the player can’t find. He will thank the player again and say that he heard from Wanda that the player reassured her, and Wanda also started calling the player her savior. He will continue saying that it means a lot to Wanda to be accepted by someone like the player, and he appreciates that the player keeps her safe and looks out for her. Finally, Zeke will reward the player with two Star Pieces for your efforts.
Now that you have completed the ‘Gone Astray… in the Highlands’ request, you can try to meet other requests, missions, or Arceus’ task for you, which is to catch ‘em all!
