Nintendo has taken the Pokémon franchise in a totally new direction with Pokémon Legends: Arceus, including newly introduced battle mechanics, a hub-like layout, and the inclusion of crafting. Crafting plays an essential role in the game. This guide will inform you how to unlock the ability and find crafting materials in Pokémon Legends: Arceus.
While Pokémon Legends: Arceus allows players to purchase items like in other franchise games, there is a heavy emphasis on crafting, unlike previous installments of the series. The process for unlocking crafting and finding materials are relatively straightforward. Players will only need to complete the first part of the story to access the ability.
How To Unlock Crafting in Pokémon Legends: Arceus
Completing the Basics of Crafting mission is the first step to crafting in Pokémon Legends: Arceus. This will unlock after finishing The Galaxy Team’s Entry Trial. Cyllene will give players the all-important Pokéball recipe once that is done. Then, after speaking to Akari/Rei, heading outside and following the marker will lead to a craftworks area where gamers can learn the basics.
Players simply need to interact with the workbench at the craftworks station in Jubilife Village or one at any available camp. They can view their accessible recipes on the left side of the screen and the materials needed to craft on the right.
Find Crafting Materials in Pokémon Legends: Arceus
While some crafting materials are purchasable, the majority require scavenging from the surrounding area. Items such as Medicinal Leeks, various fruit, and stones can be found while exploring. For items such as plants, players can simply walk up to them and press A to pick them up. Bigger items like rocks or fruit hanging from trees require throwing a Pokémon in its direction to help out. Gamers can do this by pressing X to choose a Pokémon, then using the ZR button to aim at the item. The chosen Pokémon will appear and either break the rock or shake the tree, giving the item to the player.
