Request 17 in Pokemon Legends: Arceus can be taken on by visiting the quest board on the main floor of the Galaxy Hall in Jubilife Village. The person that needs help is named Andra, and, once the Request is accepted, he can be found near the river not far behind the Mochi restaurant. This guide will go over how to complete the Back-Alley Mr. Mime Request in Pokemon Legends: Arceus, which involves completing three puzzles across the village.
After finding Andra by the river, he'll mention that he wants you to investigate a Mr. Mime that's been hanging out in the village. Many people in Jubilife Village are terrified of wild Pokemon, so they want the Mime Pokemon out of there ASAP, or at least, Andra wants it gone.
Back-Alley Mr. Mime Walkthrough
Mr. Mime Location #1
During the conversation, Mr. Mime will appear in a nearby alley, but players won't be able to walk towards him due to an invisible wall. Instead, go around the other side of the alley and approach Mr. Mime from behind, and interact with it. After approaching it, it will flee to a different area.
Mr. Mime Location #2
The next Mr. Mime location is behind Galaxy Hall, to the right side. Players will see Andra again, and like the last time, there will be an invisible wall. To get close to Mr. Mime, head back out to the front of Galaxy Hall, and go to the other side to sneak up on Mr. Mime from behind the building. There will still be several invisible barriers here too, but as long as players stick close to the cliffside walls on the left, they should be able to make it through the "maze."
Mr. Mime Location #3
As for the third Mr. Mime location, players will find it near the Front Gate of the village. This will be the toughest puzzle to get through, but players can see the correct path to follow in the image below to get close to Mr. Mime. Essentially, go up past the tree that's directly in front of Mr. Mime, and then squeeze into the path in front of the Pokemon. It seems hard at first, but as long as Pokemon Legends: Arceus players follow the path in the image, they should be able to finish fast.
Request Reward
Once players interact with Mr. Mime three times, they will come to find out that Mr. Mime has actually been helping the villagers out by protecting the gates from wild Pokemon with its invisible walls, so it's going to stay in the village and continue to chip in. The reward for finishing this Request is two Aux Guards, an item that boosts the defensive stats of a Pokemon during battle.
Pokemon Legends: Arceus is available for the Nintendo Switch.
