Solaceon Ruins Pokémon Diamond and Pearl · Caves & landmark
The Solaceon Ruins are an ancient maze of chambers and stairways just east of Solaceon Town in central Sinnoh, inhabited by Unown. An inscription near the entrance hints at the correct route down, which spells out a word with the Unown found on each floor. The rest of the Unown forms hide in dead-end rooms, and treasure including the Mind Plate waits in the final chamber.
