The Hall of Origin (Japanese: はじまりのま Hall of Origin) is where the legendary Pokémon Arceus resides.
It is an event-only area, located above Spear Pillar, accessible only to players who have obtained the Azure Flute. Once the player has the Azure Flute and returns to Spear Pillar after defeating the Elite Four, as the event will not be possible until after Team Galactic has been defeated and Dialga, Palkia, or Giratina has been encountered. The player can play the flute to make a staircase appear, which leads out of sight as if never-ending.
Following the staircase up leads to a glass-like platform, high above Spear Pillar, where Arceus awaits the player's challenge at level 80, the second highest level any legitimate wild Pokémon can be found at, second only to the level 81-100 Magikarp found by fishing in the Resort Area. As soon as the player steps onto the platform in Diamond or Pearl, the game will automatically initiate the battle.
When the player accesses the Hall of Origin by blowing into the Azure Flute, they are actually no longer on Spear Pillar, rather in a different location; the camera angle changes completely, as does the name of the location (evidenced on the captured Arceus's status screen and in the summary of the player's status on the save screen). While it is possible to access the Hall of Origin by the Surf glitch and tweaking, the battle with Arceus will not begin unless the Azure Flute event has been activated.
Like Spear Pillar, it is technically outside of the mountain, so the Escape Rope cannot be used to teleport the player back to the entrance of Mt. Coronet. Also like Spear Pillar, it is within range of Mt. Coronet's strong magnetic field, and so Magneton and Nosepass will both evolve here if leveled up.

Trivia
- The Hall of Origin background music is a remix of the music from the title screen of Diamond and Pearl.
- When the Azure Flute is used to open up The Hall of Origin, the music used is a remix of the beginning of the title screen music.
- Once Arceus is captured, the Azure Flute will no longer open the staircase to the Hall of Origin. However, if Arceus was defeated, the Azure Flute will be able to open the Hall of Origin so the player can attempt to battle it again.
- If Arceus is captured, upon using the Azure Flute at Spear Pillar, it will say "The Azure Flute echoed hollowly..."
- If a fateful encounter Arceus is already used for the Sinjoh Ruins event, another Arceus caught in the Hall of Origin may be used to go back to Sinjoh Ruins and choose one of Dialga, Palkia or Giratina. However, the legendary chosen with the fateful encounter Arceus cannot be chosen again.
- As the Azure Flute has never been released anywhere, it is impossible to go to the Hall of Origin without cheating.
