The following article explores where you can find the Secret Museum and Easter Eggs in Pokemon Legends Z-A.
If you don’t know about the Secret Museum and Easter Eggs in Pokemon Legends Z-A, you’re missing out on a lot of cool and exciting references, especially if you’re a long time fan of the franchise. While Lumiose City isn’t very expansive, it still hides several secrets that only eagle eyed players might spot. One of these secrets is a nifty Museum building that isn’t marked on your map. So, only those who explore every nook and cranny in the game might know of its existence. But, it isn’t the Museum itself that’s the exciting part, but what it holds inside that matters. In the following guide, we’ll explain how you can get to this museum and all of the easter eggs that you can find in it.
How To Find the Secret Museum in Pokemon Legends Z-A
If you want to reach the Lumiose Museum, you have to proceed to the extreme northeastern corner of the city. There, you’ll discover a hole-in-the-wall establishment that might seem unassuming at first glance. You’ll also spot several citizens standing around the entrance. When you walk up to them, they’ll explain that the Museum is holding an exhibition, displaying several items from the Hisui region.
If you’ve played Pokemon Legends: Arceus, the name of that region should be immediately familiar to you. Players might realize that Hisui is a past name for the Sinnoh region from Diamond and Pearl. It was the setting for the last Legends game. Arceus ended on a bit of a cliffhanger, with the fate of the protagonist leaving a bittersweet aftertaste. So, exploring the Lumiose city Museum could be the perfect way to get some closure and find out more about what happened to the main character of the previous game after the credits rolled.
Besides the Easter Eggs, you’ll also want to head to the Museum to take on and complete the Spewpa in the Museum side quest. In this quest, you have to catch 12 Spewpa strewn throughout the building.
