Abyssal Ruins

Continuing on from Pokémon Black & White, Black 2 & White 2 once more has the Abyssal Ruins for you to explore. Located by using Dive in Undella Bay, these ruins have the exact same layout and puzzle as before, and provide the same items. However, as The Riches' mansion no longer exists, you can exchange the Relic items for money in the westernmost building of Undella Town

Text Translation

Like Pokémon Black & White, the Abyssal Ruins have got text in cuniform writing that would normally need translation. However, after beating the Elite Four, when you speak to Zinzolin in Undella Town, he will give you Ghetsis' notebooks which will allow you to translate the text. The text will now automatically update into Japanese, or English in the English games, and tell the history of the ruins

First Floor

The task on the first floor is to get to the pillar with cuneiform in the absolute middle of the area. This is easily done by accessing the ruins through the leftmost entrance in Sanazami Bay. Follow the path through to the middle and interact with the pillar in order to gain access to the next floor. There are numerous items filling out the first floor, many of them are necessary for use with Arceus in order to change its form. The items are as follows.
