Map of Ancient Tomb in Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire
Ancient Tomb (in-game map)

The Ancient Tomb is a sealed ruin up a flight of stairs in the southwest of Route 120, and the home of Registeel. It stays closed until you solve the Sealed Chamber puzzle on Route 134. Inside, the Braille hints that you should aim for the sky in the middle of the room; using Fly there opens the inner chamber, where Registeel waits at Lv. 40.
