Here’s how to find the Dormez Bien Cemetery to complete Side Mission: A Sorta Scary Cemetery Story in Pokemon Legends: Z-A.
How to Start the ‘Awaken, Cofagrigus!’ Mission in Pokemon Legends Z-A Mega Dimension
You won’t be able to actually accept Side Mission 171 until you reach the ninth main story mission of the Hyperspace storyline. Once you’re there, you can start the quest by speaking to the Grunt standing outside the Lumiose Sewers entrance in the Magenta Sector by the canal.
The Grunt has been hearing someone screaming inside, so, of course, he sends you in to investigate.
How to Complete ‘Awaken, Cofagrigus’ in Pokemon Legends Z-A Mega Dimension
To complete the mission and save the trapped NPC, you will need to go around the sewers and attack all the Cofagrigus‘. Most of them are in plain sight, but some players might have trouble finding one sneaky one.
We’ll show you all of their locations so you can get out of the sewers fast.
First Cofagrigus
You’ll easily see the first Cofagrigus as soon as you enter the sewers. A cutscene will end, and the Ghost Pokemon will be floating right in front of you. Go ahead and strike it to find an empty coffin.
Second Cofagrigus
Take a left after you smack the first one, and you’ll see a second coffin floating in the air.
Third Cofagrigus
Walk a few steps north in this central area to find the third one suspended in midair.
Fourth Cofagrigus
Walk a little bit east of the previous one to find another Cofagrigus floating really high up (basically touching the ceiling). This is probably the hardest of the bunch to spot.
Fifth Cofagrigus
Head into the room to the northwest to find the fifth Cofagrigus. It’s right in the middle of the room, so you cannot miss it. However, you’ll actually have to battle against this one. It’ll be at level 75, but you can make quick work of it by using Ghost/Dark-type attacks.
Sixth Cofagrigus
And for the last Cofagrigus, look in the room to the southwest, and it’ll be there in the corner to the left.
The Reward for Finishing ‘Awaken, Cofagrigus’ in Pokemon Legends Z-A Mega Dimension
Once you free the NPC from Cofagrigus’s grasp, you’ll get the following as a reward:
- 5,200 Poke Dollars
- Shadow Punch TM
Shadow Punch is a Ghost-type attack that deals 60 damage (cooldown time of 6), which makes the user hide in the shadows and then emerges to throw out a quick punch to the opposing Pokémon.
