Version boundary: this guide covers the original pokebonk.com v0.8.55, checked October 26. Our Play window uses a separate third-party v0.8.27 source with separate progress. Newer co-op, Treasures and Archive changes may be absent there. Mechanics are SINGLE_SOURCE; no full-run, reward-claim or multiplayer completion test is claimed.
[1][2]The four selectable Season 2 regions
| Region | Prerequisite | Listed encounter types | Planning implication |
|---|---|---|---|
| Viridian Forest | Available | grass, bug, normal, flying, fairy, poison | Inspect your kit coverage and survival before moving up; this is not a type-only win forecast. |
| Rocky Desert | Complete Viridian Forest | ground, rock, fighting, steel, fire | Inspect your kit coverage and survival before moving up; this is not a type-only win forecast. |
| Storm Coast | Complete the Rocky Desert | water, electric, flying, dragon, steel | Inspect your kit coverage and survival before moving up; this is not a type-only win forecast. |
| Celestial Glacier | Complete the Storm Coast | ice, water, psychic, fairy, dragon | Inspect your kit coverage and survival before moving up; this is not a type-only win forecast. |
After a guardian: reward, then portal
- Follow the marked guardian/altar objective and its interaction prompt. Reaching an altar is different from defeating the guardian it calls.
- After the guardian defeat, locate its Great Ball reward. The v0.8.47 notes added an arrow and minimap guidance toward the reward, then the portal.
- Resolve the reward choice, then enter the available portal. In co-op, surviving teammates need to coordinate the portal rather than assuming pause stops the world.
- Repeat the current zone’s actual objective. A different palette or weather does not by itself mean another selectable region was unlocked.
- In an ordinary Classic zone, the checked client starts Final Swarm once the zone clock reaches 600 seconds (10:00); Tower, Survival and sanctuary rules are separate. Its enemies escalate while you remain there. This warning is not a “survive one more wave to unlock the portal” instruction: finish the guardian/reward/portal objective instead of waiting for the horde to end.
One final-wave question appears in a reply to Splatulated’s browser-client thread, sampled October 26. It is the same thread, not another independent report. We have not reproduced that player’s run or claimed a universal final-wave fix.
[3]Do not turn every biome record into a route
The public bundle has six named biome records, but its Season 2 selection list has four. Graveyard/Lavender is used by the seasonal Tower mode. Volcano Island’s stored name and prerequisite are not an instruction that it can currently be selected. Check the actual region menu; this guide does not publish a guessed Volcano unlock.
Hard and Nightmare are difficulty progression, separate from opening the next region. A map’s availability does not establish that every teammate has its requested difficulty unlocked.
