When the player returns to the Spear Pillar with the Azure Flute, the player will be asked to play it. If the player chooses to do so, playing the flute will cause a staircase to appear, which leads out of sight. The staircase leads to a glass-like platform, high above the Spear Pillar, where Arceus awaits the player's challenge. Stepping onto the platform will automatically initiate the battle. | When the player returns to the Spear Pillar with the Azure Flute, the player will be asked to play it.

That is, the game does not place stair tiles onto the Spear Pillar upon blowing the Azure Flute, but rather 'warps' the player to a location containing the stairs where surrounding area looks identical to the Spear Pillar. This dispels a rumor that [[cheating]] to reach the Hall of Origin would trap the player on Arceus's glass platform without the stairs to lead back down. | ||
Like the [[Spear Pillar]], the Hall of Origin is technically outside of the mountain, so the [[Escape Rope]] cannot be used to teleport the player back to the entrance of [[Mt. Coronet]]. However, also like the Spear Pillar, it is within range of Mt. Coronet's strong magnetic field, and therefore {{p|Magneton}} and {{p|Nosepass}} will both evolve here if leveled up. | Like the [[Spear Pillar]], the Hall of Origin is technically outside of the mountain, so the [[Escape Rope]] cannot be used to teleport the player back to the entrance of [[Mt.
