It is an event-only area, located above the [[Spear Pillar]]. It is accessible only after the {{player}} has obtained the [[Azure Flute]] and returns to the Spear Pillar after entering the [[Hall of Fame]] and obtaining the [[National Pokédex]], 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. | It is an [[event]]-only area, located above the [[Spear Pillar]].

Upon doing so, a staircase will appear, leading to an elevated glass platform high above the Spear Pillar, where {{p|Arceus}} awaits the player's challenge. Stepping onto the edge of the platform will automatically initiate the encounter sequence and {{pkmn|battle}}. Once Arceus is caught, the Azure Flute will no longer open this staircase and the message "''The Azure Flute echoed hollowly...''" will be shown. Should Arceus be defeated rather than caught, the Azure Flute can be reused so the player can attempt to battle it again. | ||
In terms of game mechanics, when the player accesses the Hall of Origin by playing the Azure Flute, he or she is actually no longer on the Spear Pillar but rather in a completely separate location, as evidenced by the screen fade-out transition, change in camera angle{{tt|*|The area south of the player, most visibly the cave entrance back to Mt.

That is, the game does not place stair tiles onto the Spear Pillar map, but rather warps the player to a new map containing the stairs where the 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 the elevated glass platform without the stairs to lead back down. | ||
Like the [[Spear Pillar]], the Hall of Origin is an internal area separate from [[Mt. Coronet]], so the [[Escape Rope]] as well as {{m|Fly}} cannot be used to leave the location. However, like the Spear Pillar, it is within the range of Mt. Coronet's strong magnetic field and so {{p|Magneton}} and {{p|Nosepass}} will both [[Evolution|evolve]] here if [[Level|leveled up]]. | Like the [[Spear Pillar]], the Hall of Origin is an internal area separate from [[Mt.
