On Lental’s various islands you’ll find temperate meadows, rainforest jungles, tropical beaches, active volcanoes, frozen tundra, and more! However, New Pokemon Snap isn’t designed to be progressed through linearly. Travel between the islands of Lental is instantaneous, which is convenient, because you’re going to be going back and forth constantly as you gain access to new areas, stages, and research levels.
How to unlock all locations in New Pokemon Snap
Because of the game’s piecemeal exploration, it can be tricky to gauge just when and how you can expect to unlock new stages. For example, it feels a little counter-intuitive that you can’t actually explore the Research Camp which serves as your character’s nominal base of operations until about halfway through the game.
To help you out, we’ve put together a cheat-sheet to each of the game’s stages in roughly the order they become available, as well as the steps you need to take to unlock them.
