How do you get Lugia in Pokemon Gold?

Answer 1

Getting LugiaYou have to beat the elite 4, then go to pewter city and talk

to the old man next to the mart. He will give you the silver wing.

hm's: whirlpool, flash

do this first

then go to whirl islands.

There is 4 islands the one on the top right is the cave you want. And you need flash, when you get in there's a fork you want the top one, then you go down there's a fork go right, then down the ladder. Then talk to the man he will say "Lugia, the Pokemon of the island, hid itself deep in the end of the waterfall basin, and no one has seen it since... If anyone who could restore deep trust between people and Pokemon were to come here with something linked to Lugia, it may show itself for such a person..."

then try this

Use whirlpool, then go to the 2nd cave on the bottom. you need whirlpool and surf to get there. Go up two ladders, by going right, up some stairs, and up the ladder. go up one more ladder. After that, go left, surf, find the waterfall, go down it, and go into the cave on the left. Inside you will find a Lev. 70 lugia!

how do you get to the second ladder?
