The longest sidequest in Pokémon Legends: Arceus revolves around you collecting ghostly Wisps that float around the various maps. There are a total of 107 Wisps to collect and notifying a little girl named Vessa will unlock several rewards. When you have gathered all of them, you'll be given the chance to fight and catch a special ghostly Pokémon.

How to unlock Request 22: Eerie Apparitions in the Night

Before you can start collecting Wisps in Pokémon Legends: Arceus, you must first have calmed noble Pokémon, Kleavor, in Obsidian Fieldlands. Once you've done this, return to Jubilife Village and talk to a young girl named Vessa who can be found between the trees near the river by the Pokémon Pasture.

As with all Pokémon games, this one gives you a good reward for participating in this long sidequest.

Reward for getting all Wisps

Talk to Vessa after reaching certain milestones and she'll reward you with helpful items.

Where to find all 107 Wisps

Wisps can be seen a whole lot easier and from a further distance at night. So if you want to make things easier, sleep at a camp to turn it into nighttime and then start your Wisp hunting.

Once you've caught it, you'll be one step closer to completely filling out your Pokédex.

With all those spirits collected and Spiritomb added to your list of caught Pokémon, you can continue forward and work on completing the rest of your Pokédex. After all, you need to have all 240 Pokémon captured if you want to see Giratina and Arceus.
