Ramanas Park is a bit out of the way in Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl. Here's where you'll find it, so you can hunt those Legendaries.
Which Slate do you need to find Regirock?
Ramanas Park is a vast area made up of several caves, in which a specific type of Slate is requested.
In order to unlock the three Titans, take the Discovery Slate to the Discovery Room and place it on the plinth. This is the first Slate available from the Receptionist.
Save your game before placing the Slate if you're looking for a specific Titan -- if the one you want doesn't appear, just reload your game and try again. This will save you valuable time hunting Mysterious Shards, which are quite rare.

- Take a Pokémon that can inflict Paralyze or Sleep.
- Pay attention to how much PP its moves have.
