Hall of Origin: Difference between revisions

The '''Hall of Origin''' (Japanese: '''はじまりのま''' ''{{wp|Ma (negative space)|Hall}} of Origin'') is where the [[legendary Pokémon]] {{p|Arceus}} resides.

It is an [[event]]-only area, located above the [[Spear Pillar]]. It is accessible only once the player has the [[Azure Flute]] and returns to the Spear Pillar after defeating the [[Elite Four]], as the event will not be possible until after [[Team Galactic]] has been defeated and {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}}, or {{p|Giratina}} has been encountered. The player can play the flute to make a staircase appear, which leads out of sight, as if never-ending.

Following the staircase up leads to a glass-like platform, high above the Spear Pillar, where Arceus awaits the player's challenge. As soon as the player steps onto the platform in Diamond or Pearl, the game will automatically initiate the battle.

When the player accesses the Hall of Origin by blowing into the Azure Flute, he/she is actually no longer on the Spear Pillar, but rather in a different location; the camera angle changes completely, as does the name of the location (as evident on the captured Arceus's status screen and in the summary of the player's status on the save screen). Though it is possible to access the Hall of Origin by the use of [[cheating devices]] with the pass through walls code, the battle with Arceus will not begin unless the Azure Flute event has been activated.
