How to ride Wydeer in Pokemon Legends: Arceus

There are several Pokemon that players can use in Pokemon Legends: Arceus to traverse the Hisui region.

One of those creatures is the majestic Wyrdeer. The Hisuian evolution of Stantler allows trainers to ride on its back. This can help with jumping over bodies of water and climbing slanted cliffs.

Wyrdeer is not available at the start of the game, however. Trainers need to unlock it by accessing the second area of Obsidian Fieldlands. From there, it is as simple as hitting the + button.
