Puzzles

Regice

To get to Regice, theSealed Chamber's puzzle must be completed. After this has happened, the ruins can be accessed.

To open the door inPokémon Ruby and Sapphire, once in the lobby area, theplayer must read the Braille inside and simply stand in the same place for two minutes without touching the game. The door will still open even if the game's internal battery has run dry and clock-based events no longer occur, as it is based on two minutes of recorded playtime. TheBraille reads: "Stop and wait. Wait for time to pass twice."

To open the door inPokémon Emerald, once in the lobby area, the player must read the Braille inside, then make a lap of the chamber, sticking close to the walls. The Braille reads: "Stay close to the wall. Run around one lap."

To open the door inPokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, once in the lobby area, the player must read the Braille inside and stand in the same place for two minutes without moving. The Braille reads: "Stop and wait unmoving as time passes you by twice."

Regigigas

InPokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, the player is able to encounterRegigigas in the Island Cave after capturing all threelegendary giants in their respective locations in that game. To do so, the player must go toPacifidlog Town and speak to the girl in the northeast house. The player must also have anicknamed Regice holding an ice-based item (aCasteliacone, anIcicle Plate, anIcy Rock, aNever-Melt Ice, or aSnowball), as well asRegirock andRegisteel in theirparty. Regigigas can be encountered starting from the day after catching the last of the legendary giants, but cannot be encountered atnight. As Regigigas is not in the Hoenn Pokédex, it can only be battled after dealing withGroudon^OR/Kyogre^AS.

If all of the above criteria are fulfilled, upon walking into the center of Regice's room, the following message will appear:

"The very earth is quaking! Is something approaching?!"

"Zut zutt!"

The battle with Regigigas will then start immediately.

If the above criteria are not fulfilled, but the player has caught all of the legendary giants in that same game, the following message will appear instead:

"...?"

"There seemed to be some presence here, but it disappeared in an instant..."
