How to Fix The Water Wheel in Withered Wasteland in Pokopia

Learning how to fix the water wheel in the Withered Wasteland is an essential part of progressing in Pokopia. This guide will walk you through the exact steps needed to activate this facility and start generating electricity for your habitat. Follow along to master this mechanic and unlock the water wheel spot habitat.

Prerequisites: Meeting Pitplup

Before you can fix the water wheel in the Withered Wasteland, you’ll need to complete some storyline progression. The key requirement is meeting Pitplup, who you’ll encounter in the Bleak Beach biome. This involves a significant portion of the story, but it’s essential for learning the water mechanics needed for this task.

Once you’ve met Pitplup, you’ll gain the ability to suck up water and move it—the core mechanic for fixing the water wheel.

Steps to Fix the Water Wheel

Step 1: Locate and Enter the Water Pool

Navigate to the pool located near the water wheel in the Withered Wasteland. Run over to the pool and enter it to prepare for collecting water.

Step 2: Suck Up Water Using Y Button

Once in the pool, press the Y button to activate the water-sucking ability. This will begin the process of collecting water from the pool. You’ll use the right trigger to complete the suction action.

Step 3: Transport Water to the Water Wheel

With water now collected, run back to the water wheel location in the Withered Wasteland. Navigate directly to the wheel structure.

Step 4: Release the Water Using A Button

Position yourself at the water wheel and press the A button to spin out and release the water. This will pour the water into the wheel, activating it. You can repeat this process as many times as needed since you have unlimited water available.

Unlocking the Water Wheel Spot Habitat

Once you successfully complete the water wheel repair, you’ll unlock the water wheel spot habitat. This is a specialized facility that generates electricity for your location. The water wheel becomes an amazing facility that powers your area and contributes to your overall progress in Pokopia.

Optional: Adding Multiple Water Wheels

If you want to maximize efficiency, consider filling additional water wheel locations in the Withered Wasteland. You can repeat the process at other nearby spots to generate more electricity and expand your habitat’s capabilities.
