- Five final evolutions: Cosmech, Xenarch, Radiarch, Archonix, and Coaguluthex.
Route 9 Overview and the Meteorite Quest
Route 9 is a snow-covered route in Loomian Legacy that received a major side quest update centered on a meteorite crash. The quest is easy to miss because nothing on the map points you toward it. You start by finding a damaged telescope inside the Himberle Inn, repairing it with three scattered parts, and then tracking down the fallen meteorite beyond the arched rock in the non-snowy part of the forest.

The meteorite site itself becomes a spawning ground for four new base Loomians: Cosmo, Navalite, Embrix, and Plasmite. Each one features a distinct and somewhat confusing evolution line, which is why so many players get stuck after catching them.
The telescope has no quest marker or NPC prompt. Walk up to it on the second floor of the Himberle Inn and click it directly to begin the quest.
Telescope Repair: Step-by-Step Walkthrough
Repairing the telescope is the gateway to the entire meteor event. The three parts can be collected in any order, and each one requires a Loomi Disc throw to knock it loose.
Examine the Telescope
Go to the Himberle Inn and climb the stairs to the upper floor. Interact with the telescope marked for stargazing. It will report missing parts, officially starting the quest.
Part 1: Under the Crystal Tree
Locate the crystal tree and throw your Loomi Disc at it. The part pops off the ground. Pick it up to secure the first component.
Part 2: Spiderweb Forest
Search the spiderweb forest for the single cocoon containing a box. Throw a Loomi Disc at the cocoon to free the box and collect the second part.
Part 3: The Frozen Lake
Find the icicle on the frozen lake. Throw your Loomi Disc at it so it drops to the ground, then pick it up for the final piece.
Assemble and Watch the Sky
Return to the telescope and install all three parts one by one. Once complete, look through the eyepiece and confirm. A meteor will begin falling from the sky, opening the meteorite site.
From the non-snowy part of the forest, look for the arched rock in the distance. Do not climb over it. Instead, go down and pass beside the arch, and the large meteorite will come into view with all its Loomian spawns.
Meteor Loomians and Evolution Methods
The four base Loomians at the crash site all use unconventional evolution triggers. This is the section most players need, because the game gives no in-game hints for most of them.
| Base Loomian | Type | Evolution Trigger | Final Form | Final Type |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cosmo | Metal / Simple | Level 30, then level 34 | Cosmech | Metal / Simple |
| Navalite | Metal | Navalite in slot 1 + Plasmite in party, level 32 | Xenarch | Metal / Dark |
| Navalite (alt) | Metal | Hold Cosmo in party, level 33 | Radiarch | Metal / Electric |
| Embrix | Dark | Level 32, then level 50 | Archonix | Dark / Ancient |
| Plasmite | Bug / Fire | Learn Parasitize, lose 50 HP, heal 50 HP with it | Coaguluthex | Bug / Fire |
Navalite has two separate evolution paths depending on which Loomian accompanies it. Plan your party slots carefully before leveling, because the evolution triggers the moment the level condition is met.
The 50 HP loss and 50 HP healed do not need to happen in a single battle. They can accumulate in increments across multiple fights, as long as the totals are reached while Parasitize is known.
Comparing the Five Final Evolutions
All five final forms are strong additions, but they fill different roles on a team. Here is how they stack up for general use.
Cosmech
- Metal / Simple typing
- Straightforward level-up line
- Reliable early pick from the meteor batch
Xenarch
- Metal / Dark typing
- Requires careful party setup
- Great offensive typing combination
Radiarch
- Metal / Electric typing
- Satellite-inspired design
- Requires a Cosmo in your party
Archonix
- Dark / Ancient typing
- Evolution at level 50, one of the highest
- Standout visual design
Coaguluthex
- Bug / Fire typing
- Base Speed of 130, extremely fast
- Most complex evolution method
| Final Form | Type | Key Strength | Setup Difficulty |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cosmech | Metal / Simple | Simple, consistent evolution | ★☆☆☆☆ |
| Radiarch | Metal / Electric | Solid dual typing | ★★☆☆☆ |
| Xenarch | Metal / Dark | Strong offense | ★★★☆☆ |
| Archonix | Dark / Ancient | High ceiling, late evolution | ★★★☆☆ |
| Coaguluthex | Bug / Fire | 130 base Speed | ★★★★☆ |
Catch multiple Navalite and Cosmo before leveling anything. Since Navalite's evolutions consume party conditions and Embrix evolves late, stockpiling the right base Loomians early saves significant backtracking.

FAQ
Q: Where does the Route 9 meteorite quest start in Loomian Legacy?
It starts at the Himberle Inn. Go up the stairs to the upper floor and interact with the telescope. There is no quest marker, so you must click on it directly to begin.
Q: Can the three telescope parts be collected in any order?
Yes. The crystal tree, spiderweb forest cocoon, and frozen lake icicle parts can all be gathered in any order. Each one only requires a Loomi Disc throw to dislodge it.
Q: How do I evolve Navalite into Radiarch instead of Xenarch?
To get Radiarch, keep a Cosmo in your party and level Navalite to 33. To get Xenarch instead, place Navalite in the first party slot with a Plasmite anywhere in your party and level it to 32.
Q: How does the Plasmite evolution actually work?
Plasmite must first learn Parasitize. Then it needs to lose 50 HP total and heal 50 HP total using Parasitize. Both totals can be accumulated in increments across multiple battles, not necessarily in one fight.
