pokemon rejuvenation hidden library 2 Location and Requirements
The pokemon rejuvenation hidden library 2 quest is a Chapter 2 side quest connected to Sheridan Village and the Hidden Library. You can begin it after gaining access to Sheridan Village, but the original Hidden Library quest must already be complete.
Start the quest at Sheridan Help Plaza by speaking with the hiker outside the plaza. The opening objective is to meet the client and investigate three locations with Karen. These destinations create a straightforward route through East Gearen City and Gearen Park before the library becomes accessible.
| Requirement | Details |
|---|---|
| Starting chapter | Chapter 2 |
| Starting area | Sheridan Help Plaza |
| Quest giver | Henry, through the hiker outside the plaza |
| Previous quest | The first Hidden Library quest must be completed |
| Expiration point | Chapter 10, after entering the train to Grand Dream City |
Save your progress before accepting the quest, then make sure you can travel between Sheridan Village, East Gearen City, and Gearen Park without interrupting the route.
Sheridan Village
Begin the quest at Sheridan Help Plaza and return here after obtaining the Ancient Book.
East Gearen City
Visit the Chrisola Hotel first, then continue toward Dr. Jenkel's Lab.
Gearen Park
Speak with Karen at the fountain before entering the Hidden Library.
The quest is not intended to be completed after the Chapter 10 train transition. If you are approaching the departure for Grand Dream City, finish this side quest first so its objectives and rewards remain available.
Step-by-Step Quest Walkthrough
Follow the objectives in order. Karen moves the quest forward at several points, while the hiker and Henry handle the opening and closing conversations.
Accept the Quest at Sheridan Help Plaza
Enter Sheridan Help Plaza and accept “The Hidden Library 2.” Speak with the hiker directly outside the plaza to receive the investigation objectives. The next destinations are the Chrisola Hotel, Dr. Jenkel's Lab, and Gearen Park.
Meet Karen at the Chrisola Hotel
Travel to East Gearen City and visit the Chrisola Hotel. Karen is waiting outside. Speak with her to confirm the first investigation and receive directions to Dr. Jenkel's Lab.
Visit Dr. Jenkel's Lab
Go to Junction Bridge and enter the laboratory at its north end. Speak with Karen inside the lab to continue the quest, then proceed to Gearen Park.
Find Karen at Gearen Park
Enter Gearen Park and speak with Karen near the fountain. After the conversation, enter the Hidden Library to begin the final exploration segment.
Retrieve the Ancient Book and Return
Explore the library, then enter the north room to receive the Ancient Book from Karen. Return to Sheridan Village and speak with the hiker. Decide whether to hand over the book or keep it, then return to Sheridan Help Plaza for the remaining rewards.
| Step | Area | Required action |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Sheridan Village | Accept the quest and speak with the hiker |
| 2 | Chrisola Hotel | Speak with Karen outside |
| 3 | Junction Bridge | Enter Dr. Jenkel's Lab |
| 4 | Gearen Park | Speak with Karen near the fountain |
| 5 | Hidden Library | Explore, visit the north room, and receive the Ancient Book |
| 6 | Sheridan Village | Speak with the hiker and resolve the book choice |
| 7 | Sheridan Help Plaza | Collect the remaining rewards |
The quest does not finish when you leave the Hidden Library. You must return to Sheridan Village, speak with the hiker, resolve the Ancient Book decision, and visit Sheridan Help Plaza.
Use the destination order above to avoid unnecessary backtracking. The Chrisola Hotel comes before the laboratory, and Gearen Park is the final outdoor checkpoint before entering the library.
Hidden Library Exploration and Collectibles
Once Karen allows you to enter the Hidden Library, take time to explore before entering the north room. The library contains additional rewards that are easy to miss if you rush directly toward the quest objective.
The main exploration task involves colored books. Pick up all of the colored books and return them to the appropriate location in the east room. Completing this arrangement allows you to obtain an Elgyem.
| Exploration objective | Result |
|---|---|
| Explore the library before finishing the dialogue | Preserves access to optional rooms and items |
| Collect the colored books | Required for the east-room puzzle |
| Return the books to their location | Unlocks the Elgyem encounter or pickup |
| Search the library rooms | Reveals two TMs |
| Enter the north room | Advances the story and awards the Ancient Book |
The Elgyem objective is separate from receiving the Ancient Book. You can explore the library and complete the colored-book task before entering the north room. This makes the safest order:
- Search accessible rooms.
- Collect every colored book.
- Return the books in the east room.
- Check the area for both TMs.
- Enter the north room.
- Speak with Karen and receive the Ancient Book.
Finish the colored-book task and collect the two TMs before entering the north room. This keeps the optional library rewards in your current route.
Colored Books
Gather every colored book and return them to the correct place in the east room.
Elgyem
Completing the book arrangement provides access to an Elgyem you can obtain.
Two TMs
Search the library carefully because two TMs are available during this visit.
The available reference information does not identify the names of the two TMs. Treat the library as an exploration area rather than relying on a specific item-name checklist.
Ancient Book Choice and Quest Rewards
After exploring the library, enter the north room and receive the Ancient Book from Karen. The final decision occurs after you return to Sheridan Village and speak with the hiker.
You can either hand over the Ancient Book or keep it. Handing it over grants a Blue Moon Ice Cream, which maximizes the friendship of one Pokémon. If you hand over the book, it can later be purchased from the Kecleon shop on Route 2 for 75,000 Pokémon Dollars.
| Decision | Immediate result | Later availability |
|---|---|---|
| Hand over the Ancient Book | Receive Blue Moon Ice Cream | The book can later be purchased from the Kecleon shop on Route 2 |
| Keep the Ancient Book | Retain the book | The available guide data does not specify an additional immediate item |
| Complete the quest route | Receive the listed completion rewards | Return to Sheridan Help Plaza for the remaining rewards |
The quest’s listed completion rewards include:
| Reward | Quantity or value | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Pokémon Dollars | 950 | Granted as part of quest completion |
| Water Stone | 1 | Useful for compatible evolutionary requirements |
| Karma | +1 | Added to the character’s Karma total |
| Blue Moon Ice Cream | 1, if the book is handed over | Maximizes one Pokémon’s friendship |
| Ancient Book | Choice-dependent | Hand it over or keep it during the final conversation |
Choose based on your current priorities. Blue Moon Ice Cream is valuable when you need to maximize one Pokémon’s friendship, while keeping the Ancient Book may be preferable if you want to retain the item immediately. The book’s later Kecleon shop availability makes the handover choice less restrictive, but the purchase cost is substantial.
If friendship is your priority, hand over the Ancient Book for Blue Moon Ice Cream. If you prefer to retain quest items, keep the book and review the later shop option.
After making the decision, return to Sheridan Help Plaza. This final visit is important because the remaining rewards are handled there rather than automatically appearing when the Ancient Book conversation ends.
