Weeping Hill

## In the Game

Weeping Hill is a quiet cemetery. It is the largest burial site on Amaria Island. People and Pokémon are laid to rest there. Flowers and graves are scattered across the circular slope. Only some of the stones have inscriptions, while others are too faded to read. At the top of the hill, there is a large, dead tree and a cave entrance.

There are two known stories about Weeping Hill. When the player first arrives, Shiv tells his version, stating:

*"Legend has it that Weeping Hill can physically retell an individual's memories… It then presents these memories to other travellers by using these ghostly mists."*

Mists of humans wander around Weeping Hill. They are silent, and will not acknowledge the player if interacted with. If the player speaks to Lucas in the Route Two Rangers Guild and selects the quest "Explore the Depths," he states:

*"Weeping Hill is a gravesite for Pokemon and people alike. Thing is, there's been some weird stuff happening there recently. Apparently these events are caused by some artifact that was placed underneath the hill in the Weeping Depths.*

*An anonymous man wearing a trench coat and sunglasses gave us a key, he also had an Aipom with him. He said the key would unlock the path to the treasure. It's up to the Rangers to explore the Weeping Depths and find this artifact."*

The explanation Lucas gives is corroborated by Aderyn in Celeste City. She states that the tales of supernatural activity around Weeping Hill are a recent development.

From Weeping Hill, the player can access: Weeping Path by taking the southeastern cave exit; and Weeping Depths by taking the cave entrance at the top of the hill.
