If you have cleared all the logs and webs in South Aventurine Woods, skip this step and follow the "Reaching the destination" section. If you haven't, click on the "Expand" label to clear the puzzle first.

Before starting, make sure you have around 20 Honeys. Honey can be brought from the flower store in Lapis Ward. Also, this quest will involve using the Tauros and Bouffalant from Route 1. To make them appear again, step onto a sleeping flower, like in the right photo.

Start from the 1st entrance to the south in Route 1. Defeat the Tauros so that the Bouffalant can knock off the log. Then go to another pair and defeat the Bouffalant to ride on the Tauros. Ride the Tauros down the 1st entrance from the left and jump right across the ledge.

Get off the Tauros and walk right across the tall grass. Walk up to reach the Honey tree. Put Honey on it. Defeat the Pinsir so that Heracross can break the web.

At the end of the path, jump right and up across two ledges. Get off the Tauros and walk down across the tall grass. Walk left to reach the Honey tree.

Put Honey on the Honey tree. Defeat the Heracross so that the Pinsir can break the log.

Return to Route 1 and go the 4th entrance to the South from the left (where you fought Fern). Go down to South Aventurine Woods. Go to the bottommost Honey tree.

Put Honey on the Honey tree. Defeat the Heracross so that the Pinsir can break the log.

Walk to the Honey tree above that. Put Honey on the Honey tree. Defeat the Pinsir so that the Heracross can break the web.

Walk down the new path behind the web destroyed by Heracross. Go right and up across the tall grass to reach another Honey tree. Put Honey on the Honey tree. Defeat the Heracross so that the Pinsir can break the log.

Return to Route 1 and go the 1st entrance to the South from the right, like in the left photo. This entrance is surrounded by tall grass, so you can only walk in to reach it. Defeat the Tauros in the pair in the left photo, so that the Bouffalant can knock off the log. Walk down into South Aventurine Woods, and walk left across the tall grass to reach the Honey tree.

Put Honey on the Honey tree. Defeat the Pinsir so that the Heracross can break the web on the left. Then put Honey on the same Honey tree again. Defeat the Heracross so that the Pinsir can break the log on the right. After this step, the path to reach the destination is now clear.

### Reaching the destination
