Ancient Ruins are locations of interest that you can find throughout New Pokemon Snap courses. In the main story, snapping the Ancient Ruins helps unlock new courses and progress the game. Interacting with them usually doesn't create new Pokemon interactions (unlike Crystalblooms). This guide will show you all the locations of all the Ancient Ruins in New Pokemon Snap.
Snapping all the Ancient Ruins will go towards completing all your maps and also unlock the Research Title Historian.
To reveal Ancient Ruins, you just have to use your Scan function and it will allow you to zoom in and scan to register them. There are a total of 12 Ancient Ruins for you to discover.
Ancient Ruins - Florio Island Illumina Spot
The first Ancient Ruins you'll likely to come across is in Illumina Spot - Florio Island. You can find this on the right at the end of the course level.
Ancient Ruins - Founja Jungle
In Founja Jungle (day) you can find an Ancient Ruins below you as you go across the fallen tree logs. It is below the tree where the Toucannon are nesting and near a Crystalbloom.
Ancient Ruins - Elsewhere Forest
In the final stage of Elsewhere Forest, there is some Ancient Ruins to your left just before the end teleporter. This is the same place that Celebi will sit on when you interact with her.
