Requests are an important aspect of Pokemon: Legends Arceus despite not being mandatory to the overall main storyline. That is because they encourage players to do more research on Pokemon and help residents who could give the player some nice rewards. While most requests involve doing things in the usual gameplay loop, other requests may have an underlying story to them.
A great example of this in Pokemon: Legends Arceus is Request 16, otherwise known as "Strange Happenings at Midnight." This kind of request is a bit of a departure from the usual exploration and researching that the player is used to. Still, it not only doesn't take too long to accomplish, but it also is a nice peek into a random individual's life in Jubilife Village.
2 How To Get Request 16
While most requests can be accepted at any point of the day, this mission requires the player to explore Jubilife Village at night.
From Galaxy Hall, players should make their way to the middle section of the neighborhood in Jubilife Village down the road that would otherwise lead right to Galaxy Hall. Once players make it closer to the end of the row of houses, players will spot a woman on their right with long gray hair standing and facing her home.
Greeting the woman, whose name is Sanqua, players will learn that she is a bit distressed by noises occurring inside her home that sound like crackling. She has also found burnt berries around her home randomly. She asks the player to look in the house and see what may be causing all the ruckus.
1 Search The House
After getting the request, players could wait to start their investigation and work on other things. However, players will only be able to fulfill the request at night when Sanqua is standing in front of her home.
Upon starting the Pokemon Legends side quest, players should start by investigating the table that has an open basket on it near the back of the room. The player's character will think that berries were taken from the basket.
After this, there will be a noise near the front of the house. Players should go investigate the furniture that is underneath the cloth on the left. A creature will run by the player, but they will not be able to spot it in time.
After this, there will be a noise by the closets in the back of the room. Investigate the screen in the back left and players will identify the cause of the commotion in the house.
Sanqua will enter the home at this point and see the creature. She will realize why it's in there and thank the player for helping solve the mystery.
As a reward, the player will get seven Nanab Berries. These berries can be used to heal a Pokemon up to a third of its total HP and can also be used to lure and calm Pokemon in the wild.
Pokemon Legends: Arceus is out now on Nintendo Switch.
