Relic Castle (Japanese: 古代の城 Ancient Castle) is a large castle and the ruins of an ancient city that is over 2,500 years old, located in the middle of Desert Resort. It is comprised of 5 different floors and a maze. A Volcarona appears at the end of the maze, and can be caught after the player has defeated Ghetsis and Team Plasma at N's CastleBW, or as early as Driftveil City, via entrance from Relic PassageB2W2.
History
The Relic Castle is the ruins of a city built by one of the twin heroes and his corresponding dragon and are said to have been the heart of a civilization for people and Pokémon in the Unova region. The civilization dates back to at least 2,500 years ago, at which point it was at its peak.
Geography
The Relic Castle, although accessible early in the game, cannot be fully explored until after entering the Hall of Fame. Five floors deep, only the first and second floors can be entered initially; a Worker explains that the lower floors are covered in sand and are impassable until he has cleaned up a bit.
The first floor is hazardous, with two patches of quicksand which may suck passersby into the second chamber. A nearby scientist explains that if players walk over the middle of the quicksand, or run anywhere near it, they will fall through the floor. However, walking slowly anywhere besides the middle of the quicksand is safe. Behind the furthest patch of quicksand is a Backpacker who has found two rare Fossils. To relieve her load, she offers the player one of her Fossils, and notes that one of Lenora's colleagues knows how to revive the Fossil into an extinct Pokémon.
During Team Plasma's hunt for the Light and Dark Stones, Team Plasma Grunts can be found. Alder and Ghetsis are there as well.
After completing the game, a new entrance will open up on the bottom floor of the maze. The player will enter a complex maze and chase a Team Plasma Grunt, who must be fought to continue through the maze. After defeating the Grunt, he will explain that he was lookout for a Sage who was experimenting. The player can find one of the Seven Sages, Ryoku, towards the southern part of the maze. He explains that he wants the Pokémon that lives in Relic Castle to impress Ghetsis. After he is taken away by Looker, the player can continue to the shrine of Volcarona and battle it. After continuing west through the maze, the player can travel up some stairs to the other exit of Relic Castle, where TM26 (Earthquake) is found.
In Black 2 and White 2, much of the Relic Castle has become filled with sand and is inaccessible, leaving only the first two floors (which are still accessible via Desert Resort), and a portion of the lowest floor, including Volcarona's room, which is accessible via Relic Passage.
