Pokemon Legends: Arceus is out for fans and gives players a whole new way to interact with the Pokemon world like never before. In Nintendo's first attempt at a somewhat open-world Pokemon game, trainers are often helping research new areas, Pokemon, and civilians in different locations across the game world.

There are many requests in Pokemon Legends: Arceus that trainers have to complete, some of which being emergency situations. For Request 86, titled "Gone Astray in the Icelands," players can start it by talking to a villager named Zeke inside Galaxy Hall in Jubilife Village. Gamers will see that Zeke foolishly went off to find his lost sister in the Icelands, not knowing she has already been rescued and brought back to town.

Now, players have to go back out and search for the lost brother using Ursaluna to track his scent in the icy woods. As straightforward as this mission is, it is still a large search area with plenty of obstacles in the way. So for Pokemon Legends: Arceus fans needing some help navigating through the forest, here is where to find Zeke.

Zeke Location

To start the mission, fans can fast travel to the Icepeak Camp that is towards the northern part of the Icelands area. It is recommended that players bring their strongest Pokemon for this mission since there is a tough boss battle ahead. Then, using Ursaluna, follow the blue scent trails southwest until trainers find a massive hole in the ice. If players want to do this quickly and avoid encounters, they can also use a winged mount like Braviary to fly straight to the hole.

After jumping down into the hole, gamers will immediately initiate a cutscene with Zeke and then be attacked by a wild Glalie.

Glalie Fight

Glalie is solely an Ice-type Pokemon, meaning it is weak to Fighting, Rock, Steel, and Fire-types. For this battle, Glalie is at level 64, which means trainers can expect it to use moves such as Crunch, Blizzard, and Headbutt. Since it is at such a high level for the area, the best bet is to use a Fire or Rock-type and brave through the onslaught of Blizzards while chipping through its health as quickly as possible.

Once Glalie is defeated, another cutscene will activate with Wanda helping players out of the hole and talking to Zeke before safely escorting him back to town. As a reward, Wanda will give trainers some Ice Stones, five Star Pieces, and a Peat Block.

Pokemon Legends: Arceus is available now on Nintendo Switch.
