This represents the end of the second main quest that begins after you've wrapped up the main story and seen credits, and it's such a quest it's likely to more than double your total playtime. Here's how to finish the quest The Deified Pokemon and catch your very own Arceus.

Now Playing: Pokémon Legends: Arceus — Hisuian. Final. Starter. Evolutions.

Before you can start the final quest, The Deified Pokemon, you have to solve a mystery surrounding the elemental plates you've been gathering the whole game. The game will point you in the right direction when you start playing after the credits roll, with the quest called A New Day Dawns. That quest will send you looking for the remaining elemental plates, across a variety of quests. The game mostly guides you along these with clear waypoints and a variety of new boss battles, most encapsulated under a quest called Seeking The Remaining Plates.

This will ultimately result in a lengthy battle with Volo, the toughest battle in the game up to this point. He'll come at you with level 68 Spiritomb, Roserade, Togekiss, Arcanine, Lucario, and Garchomp. That battle will be tough enough, but then he'll immediately follow with a two-phase fight against Giratina--first in its crawling form, then in its flying form. There won't be any break to heal your Pokemon between
