Alternative Routes Barren Badlands

You can unlock various alternative routes in New Pokemon Snap courses, leading you to find brand new Pokemon and get those unique diamond snaps. To unlock these routes, you will have to perform a variety of tasks:

Barren Badlands Day

  • You can take the route onto a Geyser by throwing an Illumina Orb at a Crystalbloom near a giant boulder on your right. This needs to be done early in the level to unlock the route.

Barren Badlands - Alternative Route

 

Barren Badlands Night

  • Illuminate the three Diglett near the Boulder and then throw an Illumina Orb at the Crystalbloom. This will cause Diglett to push the boulder into the Geyser and allow you to take the alternative route.
