The second part of our Explorers of Sky walkthrough: the arrival of Team Skull, the guild’s great expedition to Fogbound Lake and the visit of the famous explorer Dusknoir to Treasure Town. Dungeons get longer: remember to bring Apples and healing items.
Chapter 6: Team Skull
The duo meets Team Skull: the Koffing and Zubat from chapter 1, led by a Skuntank. They join the guild to take part in its great expedition, but empty the pantry on the very first night. Since Wigglytuff cannot do without his Perfect Apples, the hero is sent to fetch some.
- Dungeon: Apple Woods.
- Boss: Team Skull. Skuntank, a Poison and Dark type, only fears Ground attacks; Koffing and Zubat fear Psychic attacks.
Team Skull steals the apples and takes the credit. Later, the hero sees Grovyle steal another Time Gear.
Chapter 7: The Guild’s Great Expedition
The guild sets off on an expedition. The hero teams up with the partner and Bidoof to reach the base camp.
- Dungeons: Craggy Coast then Mt. Horn.
- Tip: the two dungeons follow one another; stock up on Apples and healing items before leaving.
Chapter 8: Groudon’s Heart
At camp, Chimecho tells the legend of Uxie, who is said to erase the memory of those who approach it. The hero wonders whether that is the cause of his amnesia. The partner finds a warm stone near the camp.
- Dungeon: Foggy Forest, up to a statue of Groudon.
- At the end: the stone placed in the statue’s heart dispels the fog and reveals Steam Cave.
Chapter 9: The Mysteries of Fogbound Lake
At the top of Steam Cave, a Groudon blocks the way to the lake.
- Dungeon: Steam Cave.
- Boss: Groudon, a Ground type. Water, Grass and Ice attacks are very effective. This Groudon is actually an illusion created by Uxie, the guardian of Fogbound Lake.
Uxie reveals the lake’s secret: it hides a Time Gear.
Chapter 10: Dusknoir
Dusknoir, a famous explorer, comes to stay in Treasure Town. Azurill and Marill are looking for a Water Float, hidden by wrongdoers in Amp Plains.
- Dungeon: Amp Plains, up to the Amp Plains clearing.
- Boss (Sky): Manectric and a clan of Electrike. In Time and Darkness, they are Luxray and eight Luxio. All are Electric types: a Ground Pokémon is ideal, and an attack that hits the whole room helps against their numbers.
Dusknoir steps in to save the duo. When the partner mentions the hero’s visions, Dusknoir gives them a name: the Dimensional Scream.
What’s next
The third part follows the hunt for Grovyle and the great journey to the future: chapters 11 to 15 walkthrough. Back to the first part.
