what's going on everyone austin john place here and today i'm going to be
going over how you can find all of the illumina pokemon in new pokemon snap
it should be noted that the illumina pokemon are essentially the flags for the progression
points for the game and ultimately how you clear the game if you generally want to know
without being spoiled at all i'm just going to tell you right now play each level again play
each level again and get every level up get everything up to two everything up to three
and you'll find everything but if you want to know the specific requirements and the order in which
you should come across them to achieve them as effectively as possible you can open up as many
courses as you can for all the really fun stuff uh then continue watching your first illumina pokemon
hopefully you found it already otherwise turn this video off right now because play the damn game
alright great the first one is is the meganium which is found at the illumina spot on the
floorio nature park now every time that you enter one of these you're going to start on research
level one and you only need one illumina picture to level it up and once you level it up additional
things are going to happen and you're going to be able to throw alumina orbs at the mega neum
and there's going to be an eevee there and you're going to get better pictures right and then it's a
matter of you going through and replaying until you find a four star photo and a three star and
a two star and a one star and then you're good to go and that's essentially what you want to
do for all them because i mean this illumina spot only has the mega name and the eevee so
you're sort of eliminated as the pokemon selection and you need what is it a total of sixty thousand
points to up your research level to level three so it gets to be a little bit rough and a little
grindy once you complete this area you're going to be unlocking the jungle and once you unlock
the jungle that's actually not where you're going to find your next illumina pokemon instead
beating jungle day and jungle night is then going to open a split path to volca and
maricopia for volca the pokemon is volcarona wow wow what a connection who would have thought all
you need to do is go to the sweltering sands and get it to level two and then you're gonna unlock
sweltering sands at night then you're gonna get access to the alumina orb and then you're gonna
unlock the fire flow volcano you're gonna beat the fire flow volcano level one and then you're gonna
play at level two you're gonna see on the map right here that there's gonna be an additional
course that you're gonna be able to take and it's pretty much mandatory like there's no way to miss
it when you're playing through the chorus on level two you're gonna realize that these uh tyrantrums
are totally blocking the way that you went the first time well because of that it's gonna root
you down this route over here because normally you went in that hole instead we're gonna go
into this hole over here and this is where we find all the crazy blue magma and stuff
and then once you come to the end of the course there's gonna be a picture of ruins here you have
to scan and take a photo of the ancient ruins funny enough the end location is inside of the
ancient ruins i don't actually know if you have to take a picture of these ancient ruins it does show
up as a thing so maybe you do maybe you don't i'm not really too sure but anyways after you complete
the course and take a picture of these ancient ruins it's going to unlock the course of oh wow we
went into the ancient ruins what a surprise you're going to be opening up the illumina spot which i'm
now going to replay on level one this is the match against the volca rona and the volcarona are a
little weird in that they're essentially going to be running around covered in fire the entire time
and you need to break the fire and then after you break the fire you're going to be able to throw
alumina orbs there are two volca rona you're able to throw apples at the volcarona sorry fluff fruit
whenever the volcarona is standing there idly and then after you hit it
enough times you're going to be able to break a shield and then throw an illumina orb at it
now there you go that's all you need to do and then we throw our aluminum orbs
there you go and that's essentially all you need to clear the level
after you play through the entire level you could come and you could submit the
one volcarona picture of it with the illumina energy show the professor and then you're gonna
unlock level two where you're gonna be able to get much better photos wow that was a really
good photo that's a 2 000 that's a perfect size perfect direction and a 97 percent on placement
that's a good photo great i've gotten some pretty cool photos of all corona in fact i only need my
four star to be the uh the crystal or the platinum and then i have a full page of platinum or crystal
whatever it's called i'm gonna go with crystal stars because kirby next is going to be the
maricopa marucopia oh like maritime like ocean i get it it's going to be the blushing beach which
you're only going to have access to during the daytime level it up to level two and then you're
gonna unlock reef during the day you have to beat reef during the day and you're going to
play through all the way to the end until you get the root split nevertheless toward the end of the
course you're going to come up to a scan prompt wait for it there we go and we are going to scan
this route over here and then as soon as we crest to this rock we're going to be
looking at this big blue hole over here and you'll be like whoa this is a big blue hole
did you know that and your first time coming through here this big blue hole is going to
prompt oh hey look you could totally go down there and then that's it and then it opens up for you
awesome for the undersea level you're going to need to join the course at least on level two
once you unlock level two and your defeated volca owner sorry got a picture of volcaron
i always think of it like a boss once you have volcarona and this then you're able to return
here and the difference is that you're going to see this clawitzer chilling over here right
and this claw with sir was not there before and this dude he's going to come and he's going to
swim forward he's actually going to cut in front of you to make it like super obvious
and then he's going to swim right in front of this boulder that i know you've seen before and
he's going to shoot a thing at it but he doesn't have enough power so hit him with a life orb
lumina orb now he's going to have enough power and you're going to see him go kablooey by the
way that's a really dope picture of him make sure you get it and make sure he's center
and then you're going to say whoa this is totally a new route and it's open and then you're going to
take this route and then you're going to complete the course then and only then the illuminous
spot is going to be open just like the previous illumina spots you're gonna start on level one you
have to get at least one photo of this wishy-washy in illumina in school form in order to progress
and the way that you're going to clear this is instead of crazy fire that's trying to
kill you and stuff you're just going to throw aluminum orbs at all these baby wishy-washy
you just want to start throwing them recklessly your your thumb should get tired of hitting the y
button on this course great and they're all going to start swimming away and you could actually
start spamming the uh the scan button you're gonna see all the solo forms swimming away and
boom there's the school form so you need to hit the school form i believe three times with orbs
there you go and once it's in it's full of luminous state it's going to have those green
lines on its back end right and all you need is one photo to complete the course
i honestly think it looks so dang cool you should always go for the best photo possible
for me it was this one of it diving down which was pretty neat for the fourth illumina pokemon
after completing volcarona and wishy-washy you're going to open up the elsewhere forest
which is north of the uh the the jungle probably not pronounced punya you're going to go through
the forest and you only need to complete it one time in the one time i did reach
level two so i don't know specifically if you have to reach level two let's just say
if it doesn't work reach level two then you're gonna open up the illumina spot and on level one
that's where you're gonna be finding the aluminum milotic the game even says milotic not melodic
look there's milotek
all you have to do is hit it with apples
and then after you hit it once it's going to breach the water throw aluminum orbs at it
it's going to do that that serpent perk thing that it does and it's going to go
up and then it's going to have these crazy purple lines on it and that's
all you need one photo go through the course to completion wow that was almost a perfect size
i mean i did get all of it in the same shot except for like the tiniest bit of its snoot
nice uh so far i've only got in a one star and two star photo so i need to keep replaying that course
for our next illumina pokemon is going to be steelix and for this i required to get a level two
in pretty much every single course once i got to level two in every course including the forest
and the illumina spot meaning that i got the milotic picture it opened up the fifth island
which is the shivering snowfields i completed the shivering snowfields i got to level two i unlocked
the snow fields during the night i unlocked to level two and then that's going to unlock the
outer way cave i completed the cave and then that opened up the luminous spot for steelix which i'm
gonna go in here on level one and this one was a little difficult for me the first time in fact
very difficult i only got one photo and it was not good but there's sort of a predictable pattern and
again your first time going through you only need one photo it doesn't even need to be good just
the pokemon needs to be in it and stelix is gonna appear and he's gonna go real crazy and he's gonna
fly through super fast and i did not think stelix was that fast and essentially you're going to go
through and it's going to say hey you have to scan this thing i can feel vibrations coming from this
hole you want to throw some fruit in there and then you want to start nailing him with some orbs
make your way into the next room he's going to appear very briefly and then he's gonna disappear
you have to scan the area below you and start throwing things down there
and now we clearly saw that he went down this side let's throw an apple
and i was not fast enough if i recall correctly he's gonna shoot down from here
yes no maybe sell and then i do believe this is actually where i finally got a photo of him
you can see how bad my current photo is and how bad my last photo is neither of them is
good neither is good after getting your photo of steelix you're going to open up the final area
which is the ruins of remembrance on horus island and you're going to have the ruins here and you
need to unlock the luminous spot and what you need to do is you need to hit all of the the crystal
bloom so as soon as you make your way into this room you're going to see five small figures down
here and crystal blooms next to all of them so you need to throw your orbs at the flowers and
the first one is located right down here at the bottom and once you do the statue is going to glow
great i hit the second one making your way past the first two the third one is actually a little
difficult to reach after making your way past the statue right between these rocks is where this
crystal bloom is going to be you have to hit it again and then you're going to come across these
edelgaus that are going to be somewhat blocking you i just kept spamming over
there eventually they moved away and when they did move away i was able to reach it
and then for the last one this go lurk is actually going to be blocking it so you have
to hit him with an orb he's going to move out of the way if you hit him again it's going to
stop him from moving and then once he moves out of the way you can then hit the crystal fruit which
is going to light up the last one which brings you to the very end of the course and at the
very end of the course you just need to throw one crystal fruit right in the middle and then that's
going to initiate the cutscene if you missed one then you're going to notice that it's not lit up
right now big old glowy elevator thing is going to take you up to the very last course of the game
and uh all you need to do is go take a picture of the last pokemon in there which i don't want to
exactly spell out who it's going to be and that's the reason i emitted it from the thumbnail because
it's the last level of the game and i want to give you some mystery right i don't want
to give you spoilers and thumbnails i'm not i'm not one of those gaming channels that
