Do you have to go through Jubilife City in order to get to Eterna City after beating Roark?

May. 8, 2021

I was playing Platinum, and beat Roark, and was gonna make my way to Eterna City through the cave, but it seems like the only way to get all the way through is either through Surf or with a Bike, both of which you don’t have at this point in the story. I was wondering if you have to go all the way around, back to Jubilife and going around the opposite direction. Is that the case, or am I missing something?

You need to go through Jubilife City before you get the bike. After you get the bike, you can go north through routes 207 and 206. Oreburgh Gate has only 2 exits, so you can’t go north through that cave anytime in the game.sourcesource

You must need Rock Smash to progress in the game.The another exit after the rocks leads to the another side of the route.

You don’t need Surf nor a Bike.
