Tracking down the Legendary Forces of Nature in Pokemon Legends: Arceus requires patience, preparation, and an understanding of weather mechanics. Once players unlock Request 94 from Cogita in the post-game, they gain access to Landorus, Thundurus, and Tornadus scattered across the Hisui region. Catching these aggressive weather deities poses a unique challenge because each monster protects itself with powerful elemental barriers. Keeping up with daily gaming news helps trainers uncover effective strategies to bypass these defenses efficiently.
Finding and Capturing Landorus
Landorus is located on Ramanas Island inside the Obsidian Fieldlands. Unlike its companions, Landorus spawns under normal sunny weather conditions, making it the easiest of the trio to locate.
Approach Landorus carefully using stealth items like Smoke Bombs to avoid drawing immediate aggression. You must throw stunning items such as Sticky Globs or Mud Balls to break its whirlwind shield before throwing a Pokemon to initiate battle.
Locating Thundurus in the Cobalt Coastlands
Thundurus spawns near the large stone horns rising out of the water near Sand's Reach. This Legendary Pokemon only appears during severe thunderstorms in the Cobalt Coastlands. If the weather is clear, rest at camp until a thunderstorm occurs.
Navigating the open water on Basculegion makes dodging Thundurus's lightning tornadoes tricky. Use Feather Balls or Jet Balls alongside stunning items to knock down its barrier from a distance before engaging in combat.
Confronting Tornadus in the Alabaster Icelands
Tornadus roams the desolate landscape of the Bonechill Wastes in the Alabaster Icelands. Similar to Thundurus, Tornadus requires specific weather and will only materialize during an active blizzard.
The surrounding area is filled with aggressive wild Pokemon that will attack you on sight. Clear nearby enemies first, then use Smoke Bombs to approach Tornadus quietly. Break its barrier with three direct item hits before tossing out a battle-ready Pokemon to secure the catch.
Completing the Hisui Research Task
Catching all three Legendary Pokemon is only part of the requirement for Cogita's request. You must also complete their Pokokedex entries by using specific moves or capturing them under set conditions.
Returning to Cogita with complete research task pages for Landorus, Thundurus, and Tornadus unlocks the path to Enamorus, the fourth Force of Nature. Completing this final encounter completes Request 94 and brings you one step closer to meeting Arceus.
