Stake 1 – Fly Northwest from South Province Area Three Watchtower. On the North cliffside, you should see a chunk of rock taken out of the cliff face that looks like a zig-zag. Explore the grass near the chasms
Stake 2 – Fly to Artazon West’s entrance and climb the south-facing cliff.
Stake 3 – Exit Mesagoza and head East towards the cliff tops. It’s at the top of the South edge.
Stake 4 – Cross the bridge across the bridge Southeast of Mesagoza East. The stake is on the top of the south-side cliff.
Stake 5 – Atop the spiral mountain Northeast of Los Platos in South Province Area One. Make sure you have the climb ability for your mount to speed this one up!
Stake 6 – On top of the square pillar of the cliff Northeast of Los Platos.
Stake 7 – In the grass circle Southwest of Los Platos, near to the small lake.
And finally!
Stake 8 – Right above the Grasswither Shrine.
How To Take On Wo-Chien

Wo-Chien is a Grass/Dark-type Legendary Snail/Dog Pokemon. It was said to have transformed from a tablet into a living being thanks to the power of a grudge. Honestly, iconic.
Wo-Chien can drain the life force of vegetation in a wide area around it, causing entire forests and fields to instantly become barren. Like me entering a room.
Its brand-new ability, Tablets of Ruin, lowers the Attack of all other Pokemon on the field, including allies in double battles.
It’s level 60, so you’ll need a bulky Special Attacker to negate its abilities effect. Overheat and Torch Song on Skeledirge came in clutch during this fight for us.
