Ruins of Alph
 
Are many of you doing this side quest? I will be. I've opened up all 4 rooms and got the 16 items, now I'm just trying to catch all 28 of the unknown :P

cant find the last one :O
got 22 unknowns atm

TechnoSparkX April 2nd, 2010 10:08 AM

wait how you get like 24items?

CrashSmAshley April 2nd, 2010 10:24 AM

There are 4 chambers with puzzles, 2 of the chambers are only accessible through union cave. If you read what the unknown spell on the back room, it gives you hints on what to do.

The rooms say ESCAPE (so use an escape rope), WATER (use a water stone), HO-OH (have Ho-Oh in the front of your party), and LIGHT (use flash). Each will open up a separate room that contains four items; 16 total.

i got all the rooms open and i got all the items, except one, which you can open with a completed Unknown Record...Im having problems finding Unknown "G" and "R"

CrashSmAshley April 2nd, 2010 10:42 AM

Haha I'm close too. As of right now I only need C, F, I, M, N, O, T and U. Then I gotta catch the ! and ? Unknown.

The Green One April 2nd, 2010 10:57 AM

You should arrange the ones you need into a word.

Deokishisu April 2nd, 2010 11:01 AM

I completed the sidequest. Play the Unown radio signal that's only available in the ruins and it'll make it more likely for the Unown you haven't caught to appear, tune in around the middle of the radio interface. Completed in less than an hour start (puzzles and crap) to finish (catching every Unown) that way.

Jayden3114 April 8th, 2010 5:04 PM

ok i need to ask one thing. when you catch the 28 unown, in the main hall what do you do to the golden tablet at the back. it doesnt let u talk to it or anything???

Oblivion Wing April 8th, 2010 5:22 PM

I'll be doing that quest soon. Im trying to get my team together haha.

Jayden3114 April 8th, 2010 5:25 PM

well its starting to annoy me cuz i have won the game caught all legendaries (non event) and now starting to catch all pokemon. but i really want to finish the ruins of alph bcuz it is really starting to annoy me with the last hall stuff

"Shadow Lugia" April 8th, 2010 5:34 PM

I got the 28th Unown about a week ago. I got the first 26 earlier but apparently the last ones don't appear until, in addition to getting the first 26, doing all the Crystal Puzzles, which involved having to wait to get Ho-Oh in SoulSilver.

Jayden3114 April 8th, 2010 5:36 PM

yea i got all 28 but go in the main hall there be a gold tablet at the back... what do you do to it. can u help me out please. ive done everthying else possible to the ruins

yea ive done the puzzles to get the items as well

zerwey April 8th, 2010 7:57 PM

I'll do it once I defeat the E4 of Johto.

BleuVII April 8th, 2010 8:55 PM

Yeah, SoulSilver users get shafted on this quest. They really needed to change the Ho-oh puzzle to Lugia for SS. I found all 26 letter-based unowns, and now I need to wait for Ho-oh so I can get the punctuations (two of each to fill up my "unown" PC Box)

Satoshi Ookami April 9th, 2010 5:32 AM

I've done the chamber thing and I'll try to complete Unown Dex.

alphabetsoup102062 April 9th, 2010 6:18 AM

I haven't started to do the sidequest yet, as I'm currently trying to complete the main story. But after I've done the main story in Johto, then I'll probably do the sidequest as it sounds good. Plus you get items with it

Jayden3114 April 9th, 2010 10:16 PM

oh haven't you guys done the main story yet... i have won the game beat the elite 4 gotten 16 badges then vsed the upgraded elite again. beat red on top of mt silver and trained an unown to lvl 60 while getting money. oh and gotten all legendaries i can get except 4 rayquaza getting that in a few days

Pikachu-dance! April 9th, 2010 10:54 PM

Im doing this sidequest however it has been really hard for me because i thought that because each unknown had a word next to it in the record you had to decipher what they said lol.

And guy above dont boast because i also have done the main storyline but have back to do this.

Jayden3114 April 9th, 2010 11:10 PM

lol i was just saying cuz 1 of the guys was complaining bout the ho-oh thing... well anyway if u find out about that golden tablet in the room u find the ? and ! unown can u tell me please thx

o and would u trade me your shaymin and trade back so i got in pokedex please

quack407 April 10th, 2010 12:47 PM

ive got 26 unown and ive talked to all the reserchers but nothing new has opened up. what do i do

Circuit April 10th, 2010 1:01 PM

Done all the puzzles at the back of each room? You have to do those too I think.

Season April 10th, 2010 8:07 PM

The only reason I would do this is to get a Smeargle, how much of it do you have to complete to be able to catch one?

alisaie April 10th, 2010 9:19 PM

I think you can get a Smeargle without doing the actual Unown portion. Just look around in the grass a bit.

I've gotten 26 Unowns and did the Puzzles. I'll be catching the ! and ? Unown later.

Kavii April 21st, 2010 12:58 AM

Just to confirm what someone else said and to also chime in, YES, in order to open up the last room to catch the blasted ! and ? UNOWNs, you MUST open up the chamber that requires Ho-Oh.

Why?

Because you need to get access to that 'writing' that is available when you open up the Ho-Oh so you can report it to the researcher who can THEN open up the last room IF you have 26 of the UNOWN.

My guys are at level 30-33 and I'm nowhere near capturing a Ho-Oh so this just stinks.

Clocked in some crazy hours between Pokeathlon, Safari, level grinding, breeding, Voltorb, and who knows what else and was hoping to get the Ruins sidequest done, but nope.

:(
