Archeologist

Introduction

Archeologists, those adventurers who have chosen to unravel the mysteries hidden in the ruins left by the destruction of Darkrai, head out into the Nightmare World in search of relics and hidden treasures.
They are responsible for creating some of the Rift Crystals, used to access extreme challenges in the Nightmare World such as the Nightmare Rifts.

Becoming an Archeologist

To join this specialization, you will need to go to the Specialization Center, located in the underground of the Cerulean resistance Pokémon Center, and talk to the NPC Jones, who is responsible for appointing you as an Archeologist.

Archeologist's Outfits

Because they go through many challenges in their explorations, the Archeologists are given a tough and stylish outfit:

Resources

Hidden Relic

During their adventures through Nightmare World, with the help of an ingenious metal detector, the Archeologists will be able to locate Hidden Relics buried throughout the map.
These relics are the specialization's exclusive resource, used mainly to create the Rift Crystals.
You can use the Profession Resource Boost to increase the collection of Hidden Relics.

Nightmare Chests

Just as outside the Nightmare World adventurers collect Gold Bars, in the Nightmare World you can collect Corrupted Gold Bars, which can be used to create various items in the Adventurer Workshop S.
Another version of the Gold bar is the Strange Gold Bars, which is a scarcer and more difficult resource to obtain, used to make Golden Finders and Silver Finders.
It is also possible to obtain Nightmare Treasure Maps, which are used to find hidden chests in the Nightmare World.
You can obtain these resources by opening Nightmare Chests that can be found in the Nightmare World.

Tip:

You can use the High Tech Device to transform Hidden Relic into Corrupted Gold Bars.

Excavation Center

The Excavation Center is the place where archeologists gather to carry out expeditions and search for rare artifacts.
To access it, you must talk to the NPC Hoang, located in Fuchsia.

Once you have been teleported to the island, if you want to return to Fuchsia, just talk to the NPC Ploy at the entrance.

Digger Hiram

When speaking to Hiram, he says that he would like to go out with his friends, but he has to stay late at work.

He will give the player the mission to warn his friends Moe, located in the Cerulean resistance, Larry, located in the Lavender resistance and Shemp, located in the Cinnabar resistance, that he won't be able to see them this week.

After talking to all of Hiram's friends, the player must talk to him again to receive their reward, which will be: Experience 800,000 (800K), NW Experience 4,500 (4.5k) and 5 Strange Gold Bar.

Digger Frank

Digger Frank is an expert digger who uses special tools in his work.
He will give the player the mission of defeating 300 Darkrai, and as a reward, the player will receive the Golden Shovel, used to access Weekly Dungeons.

Digger Anette

During her work, Anette discovered that there are many lost chests everywhere. As a good archeologist, you shouldn't have too much trouble finding them.

She will give the player permission to open the chests located below:

	Book: Dungeons - Fire Mountain Temple.
	Book: Dungeons - The Frozen Temple.

Professor Sycamore

Professor Sycamore is a great Pokémon researcher. By talking to him, the player will be given the mission of searching for some chests in the Nightmare World. Each chest will contain a book, which tells the location of the entrance to the Weekly Dungeons.
The mission to find the chests is completely optional, you don't have to complete it to gain access to the Weekly Dungeons.

Archeologist Weekly

When you talk to Professor Sycamore for the second time, he will tell you that he is trying to find out the cause of Professor Oak's disappearance, and will ask you to find 5 Professor Oak's research journal.
These journals are obtained by completing Weekly Dungeons.

By delivering the 5 Professor Oak's research journal, the player will receive: 1x Random Epic Rift, 200 Hidden Relics, Experience 1,000,000 (1KK) and NW Experience 3,000 (3K).

Accessing a Dungeon

To access a Dungeon, you need to use the Golden Shovel, obtained from the NPC Digger Frank, in the exact location of the Dungeon.

The entrance fee for each dungeon is 1 Treasure Map, which can be obtained from the Adventurer Workshop S.
With each successful mission, the player will receive some Hidden Relics, a Professor Oak's research journal, as well as the possibility of rare drops.
Note: There is no loss of Bless when you die in a dungeon.

Dungeons

Specialization Exclusives

Nightmare Compass

Searching for Nightmare Chests can sometimes be tiresome, which is why the Archeologists developed the Nightmare Compass.
After using the compass, it will point to possible Nightmare Chests in the player's surroundings, similar to how the Boss Detector works.
There is a 1-hour cooldown between each use of the Nightmare Compass.

Adventurer's Utility Belt

Many secondary skills are needed to reveal certain secrets within Dungeons (such as Light, Rock Smash, Dig or Cut). To meet this need, Archeologists are able to create the Adventurer's Utility Belt.
This item is able to perform all these skills without the need for a pokémon.
Although only Archeologists can craft, the Belt can also be used by Cooks.
It can be used inside and outside the Nightmare World.
