Spectral Thicket

View source
For the paths you can take, see Spectral Thicket/Ghost Route, Spectral Thicket/Dark Route, and Spectral Thicket/Psychic Route.

Spectral Thicket (Spectral, SpTh) is a dungeon found southwest of Frigid Heights. The dungeon consists of mostly Dark-, Ghost-, and Bug-types. It has three routes available to be taken at its midpoint after Floor 20; Ghost, Dark, or Psychic, which require a Pokémon of the corresponding type on the team.

After going through the first part of one of the aforementioned route, Spectral Thicket's main path can be chosen at the second midpoint—after Floor 40. It requires a party of two to three players to press switches and open the entrance to the path. You may also use the key found in the end room to unlock the path if you have beaten Spectral Thicket before.

At the entrance, the player is greeted by a team called Team Tactful Tension.
  • Gengar: So once I approach them from the back, we'll all strike at once...
  • Oranguru: Yes... As for the paths we'll take... It shall depend on our surroundings inside the thicket.
  • Incineroar: I think we've got everything straight now, my trusty teammates. Let's uncover the secrets of this place for once and for all!
  • Incineroar: ...Huh?
  • Incineroar: Grrrr... Who are you?!
  • [Player Name]: ...
  • Incineroar: Not very talkative? Hah! I'll just introduce myself then! We're Incineroar, Oranguru and Gengar! Together, we form Team Tactful Tension.
  • Incineroar: With my fiery fighting spirit, Oranguru's skillful decision making and Gengar's ability to cunningly deceive opponents.. We're a true force to be reckoned with! ROARRR!
  • Oranguru: We've arrived in this area not too long ago. We're a very strong rescue team, on a mission to uncover the secrets of this largely unexplored part of winden.
  • Gengar: We're already Master rank! What do you say to that, huh?! Kekeke!
  • Oranguru: There's rumors of a Mythical Pokemon controlling this forest and its inhabitators, and we're looking to find out what's going on.
  • Incineroar: Grrrr...
  • Incineroar: You best not meddle with our mission here! You've got potential, but it's blatantly obvious that you won't be able to last for long here.
  • Gengar: Kekeke! Chill out, El Tigre! I'm sure our little explorer friend over here would wisely follow our advice...
  • Gengar: Now, let's get on with it! Team Tactful Tension doesn't have the word "slacking" in it's dictionary! Heh!
  • Oranguru: Shields up...!
  • Gengar: See you on the flipside!

There is darkness throughout the dungeon. Darkness increases on Floor 41 and Floor 56.

A fork is reached after Floor 20. This is where the player must pick between the Ghost, Dark, or Psychic Spectral Thicket routes and continue through them, starting on Floor 21 of the chosen path. A Pokémon of one of the respective types is required to pick one, otherwise you cannot continue and must escape using the warp.

Floor 40 leads to another fork, wherein the available routes to be chosen and the restrictions are the same, but an entrance to continue on the regular Spectral Thicket route is accessible. One switch is located on the pathways to the type-restricted routes, which removes the respective blocks to the main route entrance. Due to this, two or three players are needed to hit all three switches in time and get to the main path entrance. Alternatively, if you have a Spectral Key Spectral Key and have beaten Spectral Thicket's main path already, the locked door in the bottom-right can be opened to continue the main path instead.
