History

Pokémon Legends: Arceus

Cogita lives alone at theAncient Retreat and possesses a vast knowledge ofHisuian legends. After theplayer is exiled fromJubilife Village, Volo guides them to her home. She tells them about an artifact known as theRed Chain that could bind the world together and cause the space-time rift aboveMount Coronet to disappear, specifying that the materials to craft it must be collected from the threelake guardians. Once all the materials have been gathered, she travels to theShrouded Ruins to witness the crafting of the Red Chain. After the player has obtained theOrigin Ball, Cogita appears inJubilife Village to check out theClothier.

During the post-game, Cogita tells the player where to find most of the remainingPlates. Once the player has collected them, she gives the player thePixie Plate, which she had been using as a cutting board, unaware of its true nature.

After the player has collected all eighteen Plates, Cogita appears at theGalaxy Hall. She tells the player about theforces of nature and to speak with her after completing theirPokédex entries. After the player has completed this task, she reveals there to be one more of them, summoningEnamorus, whom she has used to travel with around Hisui. Once the player has caught Enamorus and completed her Pokédex entry, Cogita gives the player theReveal Glass and states that she has nothing left to pass on.

Trivia

• In theOld Verses, the author describes themselves as "waiting an eternity for the one with the mission", having a friendship with a god of spring, and having been left behind, which mirrors Cogita's description: waiting for theplayer, her friendship withEnamorus, and her experience of being left behind, respectively. This implies that she was the one who wrote the Old Verses.
  • If the writer and Cogita are indeed the same person, that'd make her 1000 or 2000 years old.
• Cogita's teardrop-shaped ornament on her dress is similar toVolo's necklace in his Sinnoh outfit andCynthia's teardrop-shaped ornament on her dress.
