Tin Tower

The Tin Tower is a sacred place, and is off-limits to all but a select few people. Ecruteak Gym's Fog Badge gets a Trainer inside the tower, but no higher than the first floor. By the time you receive the Rainbow Wing, the glorious, rainbow-colored Pokémon has finally returned to its former roost. Bringing this feather along grants access to the rest of the tower.

Step on the northern warp panel to reach the central area, then take the next one to reach the eastern part of 9F. There are two warp panel to the south. Take the one on the right first; this leads to the dead-end central part of 8F and a Max Elixer. The one on the left leads to the dead-end southern part of 8F and a Nugget.

VS Ho-Oh

The rainbow-colored Ho-Oh has returned to its perch! Begin with Water- and Electric-type attacks to wear its health down quickly, then follow up with Fighting-, Fire-, Steel-, Grass-, and Bug-type moves to chip away at it even further. As Ho-Oh can restore its HP with Recover, consider inflicting status ailments like Sleep and Paralysis to restrict its movements. Be sure to bring along some healing items as well.

Whirl Islands

The Whirl Islands are connected underwater by a sprawling network of dark caves, where seawater and boulders restrict movement in certain areas. Despite being first seen on the initial visit to Route 41, it was impossible to fully explore the area without the field moves Surf, Strength, and Whirlpool, and difficult to do so without Flash, as well. Visitors may enter from any of the four islands, but those looking for the immense, silver-colored Pokémon should enter from the northeast island. By the time you receive the Silver Wing, the Legendary Pokémon has appeared in the deepest chamber.

Via the Northwest Island

1F (Northwest)

Use Flash to illuminate the area, then climb down the ladder.

B1F

Go south from the ladder to reach a Carbos, then climb down the ladder on the ridge to the southeast.

B2F

Collect the two items, a Max Elixer to the west and a Full Restore to the east, from atop the waterfall and return to B1F.

B1F

Head northwest to return to the first ladder, then go south from the rocky ridge to reach another Full Restore atop the ledge. Turn east and walk across the north-central ledge; walk down the second stairway and go left to find a Nugget. Head east and jump over the pair of ledges, then climb up the ladder.

1F (Northeast)

Pick up the Ultra Ball on the rocky ridge, then climb back down the same ladder.

B1F

Go southwest from here, jumping over two ledges along the way. Grab the Escape Rope to the southeast of the cave opening. The nearby boulder cannot be moved from this side, so climb the ladder to the southwest instead. The entrance from the southwest island is located to the south.

Via the Southwest Island

1F (Southwest)

Use Surf to move east from the entrance. Pick up the Guard Spec. and climb down the ladder.

B1F

Go northeast, then south to reach the rocky ridge in the southeast area. Grab the Calcium here and climb up the ladder.

1F (Southeast)

The entrance from the southeast island is located to the south.

Via the Northeast Island

1F (Northeast)

Jump over the first ledge, then continue eastward and jump the northern-most of the next two ledges. Climb down the ladder in the northeast corner.

B1F

Move southwestward along the rocky ridge and climb down the next ladder.

B2F

Collect the Max Revive to the west. Use Surf, then ride down the waterfall to the southeast. Enter the cave opening to the west to find the Legendary Pokémon.

B2F (Inner)

VS Lugia

The silver-colored Lugia has appeared! Begin with Rock-, Electric-, Ice-, Ghost-, and Dark-type attacks to wear its health down quickly, then follow up with Grass-, Psychic-, and Fighting-type moves to chip away at it even further. As Lugia can restore its HP with Recover, consider inflicting status ailments like Sleep and Paralysis to restrict its movements. Be sure to bring along some healing items as well.

Pokémon Gold Types: Psychic Flying Held item: None Lugia Lv.70 Recover Normal   --       Hydro Pump Water   --       Rain Dance Water   --       Swift Normal   --

Pokémon Silver Types: Psychic Flying Held item: None Lugia Lv.40 Aeroblast Flying   --       Safeguard Normal   --       Gust Flying   --       Recover Normal   --

Climbing the ladder to the south of Lugia's chamber leads through a series of tunnels to the cave opening in the middle of B1F. Using an Escape Rope will be a faster way to exit the cave.

Via the Southeast Island

Entering from the southeast island ultimately leads to the southwest island's entrance. The only items accessible from this direction are a Calcium and a Guard Spec., both of which will have been already obtained by this point.

Mt. Mortar

Mt. Mortar is an optional cave to enter, but contains many valuable items and Pokémon. Although it could be entered on the initial visit to Route 42, it was impossible to fully explore the area without the field moves Surf, Strength, and Waterfall, and difficult to do so without Flash, as well. Be sure to leave an empty slot in your party!

Go west and use Surf; a Rare Candy can be found to the northwest. Turn around and use Surf again to reach the southeast area. Cross the southern pool on the east side to reach a Max Potion, and continue northward. Turn west and jump over the western-most of the two ledges. Continue westward and cross the west-central pool. Go east and jump the ledge to reach a fork in the road; jump over the ledge to the south to find TM40 (Defense Curl) on the central platform, then circle back around to return to this point.

Go northeastward along the ridge, then turn west and go down the stairway. Pick up the Max Revive to the southwest, then move towards the northwest corner. Turn south and climb down the ladder to the Basement.

Basement

Head east to meet a Blackbelt nicknamed the Karate King. Kiyo is head of the Fighting Dojo in Kanto's Saffron City. He has been in training here since the dojo lost its bid to become an official Pokémon Gym to their rivals in the Saffron Gym. Defeat him and his two Fighting-type Pokémon, and if you have space in your party, he rewards you with a Tyrogue. Depending on its stats, Tyrogue can evolve into one of three Pokémon—Hitmonlee, Hitmonchan, or Hitmontop—when it reaches level 20.

Backtrack and sail all the way up to the northeast corner, then turn south. Go west, then north to find another Hyper Potion. Swim south, climb up onto the western platform, and take the ladder back up to the Entrance. The exit is located to the south.
