While exploring the Crimson Mirelands, you’ll be asked to track down a lost charm in Pokémon Legends: Arceus for a fellow called Yojiro. There’s no quest marker pointing you in the right direction, making this an easy one to struggle with. In this guide we’ll walk you through how to find the lost charm location in Pokémon Legends: Arceus’ The Charm in the Swamp request.

The lost charm location can be found very close to Yojiro himself, in the Sludge Mound region of the Crimson Mirelands. Head down the hill to the Sludge Mound from the Bogbound Camp. The charm is located on the right side of the lower circular patch of water, as shown in the image above.
You’ll see the lost charm location as a glinting light in the water here, but be careful – the area is also home to an Alpha Hippowdon that will attack you on sight. If you’re too low level to battle it, you can make use of items like Smoke Bombs and Stealth Spray to sneak close enough without altering it. Alternatively, lure the Alpha Pokémon away and sprint in.

Get close enough to the flashing light and a cutscene will play. You’ll be thrust into a battle with a Hippowdon, though thankfully not an Alpha one. Beat it and Yojiro will arrive at the lost charm location in Pokémon Legends: Arceus. He’ll collect the item and thank you, offering up a reward in return. Once the cutscene ends, we recommend running, as that Alpha Hippowdon isn’t going to act kindly to you messing around on its turf.
