## Puzzle

### Terrain Change

Several areas past the rock-climb wall will prompt you to either freeze or melt the area. If this happens, a prompt will appear whenever you enter the area:

* *"A chill spreads through the air..."* - Change the field into a snowy one using Blizzard, Subzero Slammer, Hail etc.

* *"The snow squishes underfoot..." -* Melt the field using Eruption, Fire Pledge, Flame Burst, Heat Wave, Incinerate, Inferno Overdrive, Lava Plume, Mind Blown or Searing Shot

### Rock Climb Area

After you obtain Badge 16, you will obtain the TMX9 Rock Climb and can use Rock Climb outside battle. To progress with the story, you need to get through the Rock Climb area of Route 4. The guide for the Rock Climb area is as follows.

Fly to Calcenon City. Go right to reach Route 4. Go all the way right to reach the Rock Climb path. Climb up to the new area. Go to the right side and climb up again.

Go to the top right corner of the new area and climb to the right. When you reach the water area, start from the top right corner, and jump right.

Jump left and up to land on the middle platform. Go to the bottom side and jump down, right, down, to reach the bottom area of the map.

In the bottom area of the map, go to the Rock Climb path on the bottom side, like in the left photo. In the new area, go down the Rock Climb path in the bottom left corner.

Jump across the rocks to get on to the bottom right corner of the map. Then jump left to get to the bottom left corner of the map.
