v13.5 Navigating Mirage Woods Guide, Broken Bell Quest, and New Move Relearner Location

[wedjat]

after trying to do some research on mirage woods, i found out that after the update no one has actually written up a guide to either the broken bell quest (for zorua) or actually getting to the place, so here. i may be stupid and experiencing Skill Issue.

after entering mirage woods:

Spoiler

fake tree #1

go up and left for fake tree #2 and bonus fake tent

diabolical hidden cut tree to my right here after running up and to the left:

ghost rock stairs:

take a dip left here off the rocky path via ghost stairs to reach the truck guy needed to initiate the bell quest:

leave from the right entrance of the rock path, then down and left when you reach a stone roadblock to reach fake trees #3 & #4:

ignore the bridge and cut down the tree to pass through yet another fake one:

continue on over the real bridge to the right, then up through the next hidden tree. ggs

meanwhile for the broken bell quest (zorua):

 

Spoiler

speak to this gentleman from the path shown above:

run on back to mirage town and speak to the old woman in this house (accessible via taking the path behind the waterfall in the northwest part of town:

she'll tell you the bell clapper probably washed downstream to rt 3, so let's skitter on back there. note: if you go back to rt 3 through using the fake tree shown here, you won't have to do the full runback through the maze:

enter into phasial cave, where you can find the clapper on the main level here:

here's a scuffed map using the entrance closest to the mirage woods entrance as the starting point:

wow! bell machine! run back to mirage town and give it to the old lady, who will fix the bell and let you ring it. do that. the hiker will come back and comment that it reminds him of home. very cool, time for home invasion. run back to his RV, where it's revealed you can't even invade his home. sad! regardless, there's a cave behind there with a zorua and some blackglasses, make sure and check the boxes because there are several hidden items in them as well. hiker guy comes back if you approach zorua and flips out, attacking you and revealing himself to be a zoroark. commit child abduction, i guess! quest complete ggs

 

move relearner:

Spoiler

from mirage town, pass through the path that goes behind the waterfall. from the same area as the bell, walk here to show ghost stairs:

surf across the pond, go up through the fake tree, and through the cave.

behold, a man:

this guy vanished for weeks to punch rocks in a cave

hopefully some people get use out of this
