Hi there! Does the NPC say why you need to head there? My guess is that the Underground might be the Undercity. The Undercity is located to the left of Cellia Central’s Ranger station (on the same street as your manor and the Cellia Battle Tournament building). Garret’s crew should be standing in front of the alleyway that leads down there. Unfortunately, you will be rocking Snarl for a while longer. As of this current version, there aren’t any other special dark TMs besides Snarl.

Hello! I just beat Garrett and got the 7th badge, but I dont know how to go back to the underground. An NPC keeps telling me its Garrett's orders. Also, while I'm here, are there any good special dark TM's? Been rocking snarl lol.

Hey guys, I completed the quest that lets you into the abandoned house on silver rise peak, originally I didnt catch the fletchling that was in there. However, I've went back wanting to catch it but its no longer here. Can anyone help?

I went into the starter room and decided to check the PC before I choose. I was able to basically phase through the professor on the way out but now cannot get back in. I'm sure I can load a previous save but just wanted to report this bug. I hope this is the right spot for things like this.

i got this pop up and when i looked into it, it said its mostly an issue with macs but i am on Win 11. I do not know how to fix it. someone help please Game - Rina - 30 - 4h 22m - 1 badges - Celeste Center.rxdata

So I was trying to restore a former save file when I realized I could save scarlet, but after a few hours of trying to find it, I realized my save files were missing. I looked at my save files in games, and it said "save 1 slotsave corrupted". Trying to open the save folder also did not work. What can I do?

As far as I remember, Desolation uses Gen 8 learnsets, so Sharpedo should learn Liquidation on level 46

Are you playing on PC or Joiplay? And is your game up to date? Additionally, does the error log have any errors in it? You can find this log in your save data folder.

So my game just crashed as soon as I entered the cave in the weeping hill after the fight with a crescent grunt. there is no error popup or anything game just closed.

Regarding Garret's Lucario, that is on purpose for difficulty reasons.

When secondary electric type is added by Electric Terrain, Wacan Berry does not reduce the super-effective damage done by the moves that gain electric typing. Additionally, Garrett's Mega-Lucario has only 1 EV in speed, and none anywhere else, which makes this mon quite a bit more easy than likely intended.

Good morning, new to this game and I'm experiencing the same problem. Unfortunately I already downloaded the patch but the problem is persistent. Running the game on Mac OS 15.2 fully updated. Anyone could please help me?

So I had to download the game as usual however I didn't do this step correctly. I had to look into the game file on my Mac and ran the updater. This helped and the message wasn't showing anymore after following the steps on downloading the game. In order to use the updater you need to open a terminal in the game directory (or open a terminal anywhere and run `cd <gamedir>` - replacing the <gamedir> with the correct path on you system). 2) Run: `chmod +x updater` 3) Note that this is one time operation, you don't need to do it every time you want to update the game. 4) Now you can update your game using: `./updater` - In case you're using ARM base Mac OS (M1) then use `updater-arm` instead in the commands above

how'd you get your mac to work desolation?

Does anyone know of a way to get Liquidation on Sharpedo? Sharpedo does not seem to learn it through level up. As an alternative I also tried to breed aqua tail onto a sharpedo, but not a passable move it seems. yea - i'm a noob :) Liquidation would be so awesome on my Sharpedo.

Thank you. Thought I was helping - instead i was just a slowpoke :=) <3

Please update to the latest patch for Desolation, as these bugs have been fixed for awhile now.

Talking to this Lady in Celia North, when doing the "Return of the Panthers"-quest, bugs me out on MAC, and I get the below bug report: Second bug report on MAC from BLACKVIEW CITY: When I talk to them to do the quest, i get the following bug on MAC:

Yep yep, power works best with a motive to fulfill a meaningful purpose (I suppose most things do lol). Personally, I think power for the sake of power can work well if it’s a desire that is spurned on by a lack of agency or freedom for a character. Situations that would actively cause someone to seek out power or positions of power and use it for themselves. That sort of hurt people hurt people phenomenon. But so far it doesn’t seem that Waldenhall falls into this camp so we will see if he has a greater goal to achieve! Not only would Zoroark look so cool with a shiny new Perfection form, but its ability could absolutely give us some great twists along the way! The prospects omg…. I do think it would have a purpose in the overarching story. Hardy was introduced to the player as early as Route 2 and has cropped up several times in the main story. He was chosen specifically by Lilith and he’s now a high-ranking Black Fox. He has quite a bit more story significance than characters like Aderyn the flying type gym leader or Aaron the steel type gym leader (sorry Aaron, you’ve been on the sidelines for a while now. Hope he makes a return at some point). To add to his story presence Hardy and Emily are the only two prominent characters that have silhouettes in the Wildlands Cave in the Dreamscape. Even now I’m not quite sure what that really means in the grand scheme of things but it’s such an odd detail to persist throughout the episodes that it feels significant in some way. I think he has quite a bit of story relevance still. His Zoroark is part of their Project Perfection so it is most likely being dosed with Perfection serum. His arc will eventually have to tackle that. And it would be a perfect time to do exactly that now that we have an inkling of what Perfection is. Hardy’s situation could provide a unique perspective of Perfection and give us more context about it. We got to see Umbreon's transformation but as far as we know Perfection hasn't affected Lilith. If Hardy's Zoroark gains the Perfection state would Hardy also be unaffected? Or would it be different for him? Plus Hardy isn’t chasing Perfection for Perfection’s sake. He is a contrast to those with a desire to use Perfection for their own gains. And with Lilith currently MIA (who knows if she’ll be back in time to help the protagonists…that last note attached to the Black Piece is kinda sketch imo) Hardy could fill this role until Lilith is found or the protagonist obtains a Perfection mon of their own. If it turns out not to be a “in the race” situation (I could be overestimating that aspect given that Darkrai’s trainer has already booked it over to Darkrai…things might fall apart a lot quicker than anticipated) then he could still have a hand in the plot as an ally. He only allied himself with the Foxes to help his pokémon and I don’t think that’s changed even now that he’s in the higher ranks of the Foxes. Zoroark gaining Perfection could provide extra firepower if things get dicey for the heroes. It might not be as thematically strong as him being a proper candidate and what that signifies in conjunction to the other two, but it could most certainly add more spice to the story! Of course, the whole counter to all this is that artificial Perfection serum has never produced anything but failures, leading to the idea that Perfection cannot be man-made or artificially constructed. Assuming Zoroark has been juiced up with Perfection serum then based on those results Zoroark will probably meet the same fate as other experiments. However, if this whole theory has some merit, it could throw out some of Waldenhall’s and Team Cresent’s findings…that Perfection can’t be manufactured. Or at the very least it might show that the stringent requirement of Perfection outweighs the synthetic recreation aspect. It might be less about how it’s obtained and more about adhering to the aspects of bonds and desolation. That’d be kinda neat. Oh, the irony of that would be so good! If Waldenhall does achieve Perfection without pokémon some repercussions have to happen. Absolutely! I think that’d make for an exciting turn of events! I agree, tonally the main plot beats usually reflect the gravity of the situation pretty well and any levity in them tends to be down-to-earth and fitting for the cast imo. Not to say silliness doesn’t have its place…Jarred and Ryder brings that in spades! I also think Darkrai would probably just yeet him into the Grid and call it good! If anyone from Team Darkrai were to do such a thing, my money is on Shiv (assuming he’s truly drunk the kool-aid at this point and will be more antagonistic going forward). He’s pretty dramatic so I can see him doing it to toy around with Waldenhall. It’s certainly silly, could be framed as borderline mocking, but also doubled as a show of force. In that essence it coulddddd work. Or combine it with disposing of the pokeball in some fashion. Like Aurora yeeting the pokeball and it smashes to pieces or use poke-Waldenhall in battle or something along those lines and presto! Now the silliness a moment ago isn’t so silly anymore…it takes on a darker hue. Might be a bit more fitting for the situation at hand. In all honesty I’ve played Deso on and off for several years now…I think I stumbled upon it around e3? E4? Somewhere around there. So certain characters have been ingrained in my noggin (clearly just not Cedric xD)! The Waldenhall estranged theory is more of a crackpot theory that doesn’t have any strong evidence. Emily, Connor’s sister and electric type gym leader, has blonde hair and red eyes and I think of her every time I see Waldenhall. And Connor is seeking his own form of power; to be a strong trainer. He’s never satisfied and since he stepped foot on Arcanius he’s been even more impatient and rash. He is jumping into things alone and relying on his own strength at the expense of others. He burned the fallen logs that the workers were trying to clear despite the fact that could have caused a forest fire. Can’t forget that also means they have no work now. Plus, he ran into the group of Foxes alone and the protagonist, Scarlett, and Garret had to jump in to help. It’s very loose interpretation at best and more of a silly theory than anything else. The plausibility is quite slim. But entertaining the scenario I’d think it’d be an interesting family dynamic for Waldenhall. Plus, it’d give more time for development between the three of them. Maybe those traits of Connor’s stem from this estranged relationship with Waldenhall? And Emily obtained more of the physical traits? That’s about it :). There’s still time for an estranged narcissistic mother to enter the picture if Waldenhall turns out to be a bust! At the very least I feel like that could make for some interesting headcanons. My heart goes out to you on that front! Totally, when there are choices present within a game there will always be a small aspect of we are what we choose to be. Especially if we get a story split later on (no idea if we will or not but fun prospect to consider). But there is most certainly something more lurking beneath the surface. The protagonist’s past has potential to recontextualize the present self. Maybe piecing together their past will draw out a dormant personality (each protagonist seems to have a distinct personality shown through flavor text when changing character appearance in Cellia Central)? If the protagonist proves to be a part of Darkrai’s trainer in some form or another then that opens up a can of possibilities. Of course, there’s always the chance that their present self might not change much after the reveal. But external factors can change. Like as far as I can tell it doesn’t seem like Darkrai recognized the protagonist the way the entity (probably Darkrai’s trainer) eventually did. How others react to the knowledge will be interesting at the very least. I definitely hear ya! It’s been a hotttt minute since I’ve played earlier versions so grain of salt here but I kinda got that vibe more in earlier iterations of the game. More of an unfortunate soul who happened to get caught up in the thick of all this. The protagonist washing ashore near Darkroot with protagonist amnesia and the mysterious connection with the major antagonists was not on my bingo card when booting up e6! So, I do hope we get a bit more on that front as well :)

the google drive link doesn't work

Update: got it to work

That's the thing, when I first came across this game I downloaded it along with the latest patch on the homepage.

The issues I found recently might be connected but I've realized that I can't open the save folder at all on the shortcut of Desolation - I have played reborn and rejuvenation and when I tried to open save folders from there, they were fine but it seems like only Desolation was the one struggling with it.

Update your game to the latest patch.
