Pokemon Legends: Arceus is the latest mainline Pokemon game and sees the titular deity send players deep into the Sinnoh region's past as part of a quest to capture every single Pokemon. During this adventure, players will receive additional requests from the residents of Jubilife Village, including a curious girl who tasks players with collecting all of the 107 wisps that are hidden throughout the historical Hisui region. This guide will help players to find all of the wisps in the Alabaster Icelands.
The Alabaster Icelands is one of the last areas that players will visit in Pokemon Legends: Arceus, and, as a result, its wisps are some of the hardest ones to reach. Collecting them is a lot easier after earning Braviary's trust, but the flying mount isn't technically needed providing players have Sneasler to help them out. The maps below should also help quite a bit, with star stamps marking wisps that are out in the open, ore stamps marking wisps that are found in caves or underground, and Poke Ball stamps marking the entryways to these areas.
The Lower Alabaster Icelands
Whiteout Valley & Arena's Approach
The first wisp is to the right of the campsite on top of a nearby mountain. For those who have already collected wisps in the other areas of Pokemon Legends: Arceus, the set-up of the cliffs should look familiar. The second wisp is right across on the other side of the small valley, only this time a little higher up. Players can use Sneasler to scale the wall, but it's also a great vantage point for Braviary.
There's another wisp for players to collect on the other side of the mountain. Players should follow it along the left-hand side to the north and look for a point where it curves. The wisp is on a tall ledge on the other end of a black Tumblestone mining spot nearby.
After collecting this wisp, players should head east towards Arena's Approach for another easy wisp. There should be an opening between the mountain and the "stairs" to Icepeak Arena. In that little area is another wisp for players to lay claim to.
Avalanche Slopes & Icepeak Arena
Next, players should get closer to Icepeak Arena and find a small cliffside to the left of its entrance with grass and a few Bergmite. At the edge of the cliff facing Avalanche Slopes is a wisp. Heading south from that direction, further into Avalanche Slopes, players should see a lone hill in the very center. Unsurprisingly, perhaps, a wisp awaits them on top. Players will then need to head further down towards the edge of the map. To the left-hand side of the edge should be two cliffs with a small path between them, and, in the center of the path is yet another wisp for players to grab.
Avalugg's Legacy
For the next set of wisps on the lower end of the Icelands, players should head towards the center of the map, where Avalugg's Legacy is located. Eventually, there will be a slightly higher ledge against all the snow split in half by a straight singular higher ledge. Atop that, facing the cliffside, is yet another wisp.
The next wisp in the area can be found underground. Using the map above, players can find a huge hole that leads to an area made of ice. They should be careful not to fall and may want to use Braviary to make the descent a little safer. Once inside, they can follow the ice path to eventually reach a smaller room of ice, and, at the very end on the left-hand side, a wisp. Players can also catch Hisuian Zorua in this spot if they like.
The Upper Alabaster Icelands
Snowfall Hot Spring & Heart's Crag
Heading back across the Icelands, over by Icepeak Arena is yet another wisp. This one can be found near the Snowfall Hot Spring, with players able to reach it either by jumping down on the curve before the hot spring, or by climbing up on the curve of the cliff. It can be found there on a single cliffside all by its lonesome. Another wisp can be found to the far right of Avalugg's Legacy, atop huge rocks pointing upwards across the river. The largest and highest of these rocks has a wisp at the top of its peak.
Players should continue to head to the right, across the huge lake towards Heart's Crag. Once there, they should stick to the small patch of land to the south of Heart's Crag, and look for a large cliff with Doppel Bonnets encouraging players to climb upward. There will be a wisp waiting there for players' trouble.
Finally, players should cross over the water to get to the bridge between Avalugg's Legacy and the Pearl Settlement. Between them should be a solid cube of ice. Trainers should climb on top of it for another wisp that's facing the bridge.
Glacier Terrace & Lake Acuity
One of the more iconic features of the Alabaster Icelands has to be the waterfall leading to Lake Acuity. To the left of this is a long slope leading higher up the mountainside. Players should stick to the left-hand side of the slope as they climb it with Sneasler to reach three huge upper ledges around the halfway point of the path. Climbing to the top should lead players to a wisp.
After collecting the waterfall wisp, players should head back down and look for a cave entrance on the left-hand side of the waterfall. Using a Pokemon to break the rocks will reward them with a wisp, which is at the end of the small underground room inside. From there, players should find a way up towards Lake Acuity itself to reach the right-hand side of the lake's mouth. Upon the edge of the land there, there's another wisp.
The Last Four Wisps in Alabaster Icelands
Using the vantage point of the lake's height, players should fly to the east of the Pearl Settlement (assuming they already have Braviary) and stick to the cliff side hugging the small residence. Eventually, they should see a tent sitting right next to the mountainside, and behind that tent is a wisp. The last two wisps can be found near Snowpoint Temple, but luckily getting there is just a quick climb from the Pearl Settlement.
By the entrance to the temple on the left-hand side, there should be a small, flat hill. On top of that, a wisp will be waiting for players to grab it. The final wisp is arguably the most infuriating of all of the Alabaster Iceland wisps, as it's actually hidden away inside Snowpoint Temple itself.
In the area that was unlocked by solving the first of the statue puzzles, players should head into the corridor and turn to the left rather than the right. In a corner there, they can collect the final wisp, and, potentially, the very last wisp needed to complete Request #22.
