You love Pokemon. You love puzzles. You love massive rock golems that could crush your house. Welcome to the Regis in Alpha Sapphire.

There are three of them. Regirock, Regice, and Registeel. They hang out in deep buried caves waiting for some brave trainer to stumble in. Spoiler: that trainer is you.

Step 1: Grab the Big Blue Key

First, find the Sea Mauville over on the eastern coast. It is this creepy abandoned ship wrapped in chains. Very atmospheric.

Inside, there is a hidden Scroll sitting in a small room. Pick that Scroll up. You now have a sacred ancient artifact. Nice.

Take it to the Mossdeep City Space Center. Display it in the museum. Your reward? The blue Mauville Key. This key opens locked doors across Hoenn. Very cool.

Step 2: Hunt Down the Braille Tablets

Now here is where the fun begins. You need to snap photos of Braille ciphers scattered around the region. The game just drops them in random buildings and routes.

Visit the Route 120 cave house. Find a tablet in the Pacifidlog Town government center. Also check the Meteor Falls waterfall area.

One tablet hides near Oldale Town. Another sits inside a house on Route 114. That last one is easy to miss. Sneaky game.

Step 3: Decode the Braille Yourself

At this point you are basically an ancient Phoenician historian. The real Braille alphabet maps directly to English letters. Someone did the hard work for you.

Decode the message using any online Braille translator. The riddle will tell you exactly which cave to visit. And roughly what to expect inside.

Step 4: Crack the Sealed Chamber

Go to the Meteor Falls waterfall. Drop into the waterhole and land in a hidden tunnel. Lead you to a desert ruin with Braille walls all over it.

You must move active Pokemon into specific wall shapes. This is surprisingly fun if you like logic puzzles. When done right, the floor opens up.

Now rush through the newly revealed tunnel. A wild Regirock appears first. Station yourself and heal before throwing that Quick Ball.

Step 5: Wake the Remaining Two

After catching Regirock, check your Secret Base. The game places Braille markings inside your base to point you toward Regice and Registeel.

Follow their directions to the Seafloor Cavern and the dated desert towers. Fix a crumbling pillar for Regirock. Place your boxes for Regice and Registeel.

Final Battle Considerations

These Regis are not pushing rocks around. Their defense stats are absolutely insane. Bring actual attack moves because status moves will just fizz against them.

Quick note: in Alpha Sapphire you will also unlock the Regigigas after collecting all three. The smaller sibling seeking belonging inside a towering beast. Max satisfaction.

Okay so what is the real takeaway here? These starring guides are one of the most satisfying head-scratch to celebration pipelines in the entire Pokemon franchise. Nothing says friendship like cracking fifty million year old riddles with your imaginary lava whale.
