As Pokémon continues to expand as a franchise, Game Freak tends to implement special Pokémon such as Legendaries in unique ways. Pokémon Scarlet and Violet do this through the use of overworld items for four different Pokémon—with players needing to find all eight Ominous Green Stakes to unleash Ting-Lu back unto Paldea after it was sealed away.

Ting-Lu is one of four new Legendary Pokémon known as the Four Treasures of Ruin that have been locked away using the Stakes and Shrines scattered around the four corners of Gen IX’s map. These are technically meant to be post-game encounters, but can technically be done at any point in the game as long as you can find a Pokémon’s eight Stakes and the Shrine. 

You will end up battling the Dark/Ground-type at level 60 no matter when you finish this quest and there are no clues for the locations at all. So here are the exact locations for each of the eight Ominous Green Stakes and the Groundblight Shrine.

The northwest corner of Paldea is where Ting-Lu is sealed, which means you will encounter plenty of high-level Pokémon while trying to unleash it. It is also recommended that you have at least cleared the Path of Legends at this point because trying to reach these Ominous Green Stakes without all of Koraidon/Miraidon’s movement options is going to be a chore.

Now you have to dive—or glide—into the actual lake itself, as Stake five is located on the smaller of the two islands directly South of the lake’s biggest inner island.

Head North from here onto the main island in the lake and you will find Stake six on an elevated position near the eastern edge.

Stake seven is a trek out from the lack as you will need to ride the waves all the way back into a river at the southeast corner and all the way to where it meets Glaseado Mountain. From there, it will be near the top of a waterfall.

The final Stake is also located in a snowy location, but this time to the North of the lake right before you would enter the Socarrat Trail.

After grabbing Stake eight, it is a straight shot into Socarrat Trail to where the now open Groundblight Shirine sits and an unleashed Ting-Lu is roaming free for your to catch.
