The clearest Haze Seas Poneglyph route is at Rocky Pillars near Starter Island: climb the large pillar by the flag platform with Sky Walk, then use Flash Step through the hidden wall to reach the Poneglyph.
Most players hunting a Poneglyph in Haze Seas are after one thing — a way to power up their Devil Fruit. Since the re-release update, the stone stopped being just the key to the Second Sea and became the object you interact with for awakenings, transformations like Dragon Hybrid, and endgame progression. The route below is the video-backed path to the earliest one, sitting out at Rocky Pillars.
Where the Poneglyph sits in Haze Seas
The earliest Poneglyph in Haze Seas is at Rocky Pillars, a cluster of tall stone structures out to the east of Starter Island. It is tucked behind a hidden wall rather than sitting in the open, which is why so many players sail all the way there and leave without ever finding it.
KEY!What really changed is what the stone is for. In the older version the Poneglyph mainly gated access to C2, but after the re-release its role is much bigger — it now drives Devil Fruit awakenings, transformations like Dragon Hybrid, new dragon abilities, special cutscenes, and other endgame systems. If you want a stronger character later on, you will end up standing at one of these eventually.
What you need first
The Poneglyph is hidden behind a wall at the top of one pillar, so this route uses your movement abilities to climb up and slip through to the secret passage.
STEP 1/5
Travel to Rocky Pillars
Sail east from Starter Island to Rocky Pillars, the earliest of the Poneglyph locations in the game.
STEP 2/5
Find the flagged platform
On arrival, look for the large stone pillar right next to the platform marked with a flag.
STEP 3/5
Climb with Sky Walk
Use Sky Walk to climb straight up the large stone pillar toward the top.
STEP 4/5
Flash Step through the wall
Near the top, use Flash Step to pass through the hidden wall that blocks the way in.
STEP 5/5
Enter the secret passage
Step into the passage behind that wall and you will find the Poneglyph waiting inside.
Unlock Sky Walk and Flash Step before you sail out — trying to jump the pillar without them usually fails, and the hidden wall only opens up with Flash Step.
Using a Poneglyph to awaken your Devil Fruit
Reaching the stone is only half of it — the Poneglyph does nothing until your fruit is actually ready. The requirements shift from fruit to fruit, but the flow at the stone is always the same.
STEP 1/5
Finish your fruit’s requirements
Complete whatever your Devil Fruit needs first — a mastery level, a rare material, or a specific boss kill, depending on the fruit.
STEP 2/5
Travel to the Poneglyph
Head back to the Rocky Pillars stone (or a Second Sea Poneglyph) once everything is done.
STEP 3/5
Equip the fruit
Have the Devil Fruit you want to awaken equipped before you interact with the stone.
STEP 4/5
Interact with the Poneglyph
Approach and interact to open the awakening menu.
STEP 5/5
Choose the awakening option
Select the awakening option and let the process finish to unlock the stronger abilities, upgraded skills, or new form.

Dragon Hybrid requirements at the Poneglyph
| Requirement | Needed |
|---|---|
| Dragon fruit | Equipped |
| Dragon fruit mastery | 300 |
| Dragon Heart | Dropped by the Dragon boss |
Dragon Hybrid is one of the biggest reasons players go looking for a Poneglyph at all. It is a transformation, not a quick unlock, so the stone will not offer it until three things are lined up.
With the Dragon fruit equipped at 300 mastery and a Dragon Heart in hand from the Dragon boss, return to the Poneglyph and start the awakening. That unlocks Dragon Hybrid, and more dragon skills open up as you keep pushing through the transformation requirements.
More Poneglyphs across the Second Sea
The Rocky Pillars stone is not the only one anymore. Newer updates add more Poneglyphs in the Second Sea tied to specific Devil Fruit awakenings, so not every awakening routes back to that one pillar. Players describe one near the area where you unlock Sky Walk, and another around Flower Capital that works with a rare material from the Dragon boss to unlock Gear 5 — though the exact material counts and level gates there are not consistently pinned down yet, so treat those numbers as still moving.
There is also the older Poneglyph Scroll route, where you bring the scroll to the Dimensional Sailor on Starter Island to open the Second Sea. That path traces back to the related game Haze Piece, and whether Haze Seas still uses its old Level 2200 requirement for that step is unverified — so lean on the awakening use of the stone, which is what the current game clearly centers on.
Mistakes that stop you finding the Poneglyph
A few habits send players in the wrong direction. The most common is treating a Poneglyph like the random-spawning stones from other One Piece Roblox games — those pop and despawn on a timer, but that is not how Haze Seas works, so there is no point circling the map waiting for one to appear.
The next trap is following old Haze Piece directions without checking the current map. Some of those guides send you west of Starter Island and describe a hard-to-see black box near the top of the middle pillar, and that older route may not line up with where Haze Seas actually puts things now. Go by the in-game map in front of you.
Before you climb, bring your mobility — Sky Walk to get up the pillar and Flash Step to clear the hidden wall — because trying to jump it raw usually fails. And if the stone will not let you awaken anything, that is almost always unfinished requirements: your fruit has to be equipped and its mastery, material, or boss kill has to be done first. If a scroll quest is involved, talk to the Dimensional Sailor before sailing out, or the quest may not update properly.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you need Sky Walk and Flash Step to find the Poneglyph?
They are not strictly mandatory, but you want both. Sky Walk gets you up the large stone pillar, and Flash Step carries you through the hidden wall near the top. Without them, reaching the secret passage is a real struggle, so it is worth unlocking them before you go.
Is the Poneglyph used to unlock Second Sea in Haze Seas?
It used to be the main point. In the older version the Poneglyph was mostly about unlocking C2 and the Second Sea, and an older scroll quest still ties into that. Since the re-release, though, its focus shifted to awakenings, transformations, and endgame power, so most players now interact with it to strengthen a fruit rather than to progress the map.
Where is Rocky Pillars from Starter Island?
Head east from Starter Island to reach Rocky Pillars, a set of tall stone structures rising out of the water. Some older Haze Piece guides place it to the west instead, so if you sail one way and see nothing, check the opposite direction against your current map.
Why is the Poneglyph not letting me awaken my fruit?
Almost always because a requirement is missing. You have to finish your fruit’s requirements first — the right mastery level, a rare material, or a specific boss kill, depending on the fruit — and have that fruit equipped when you interact. Complete those and the awakening option shows up at the stone.
Are there more Poneglyphs in Second Sea?
Yes. Newer updates add more Poneglyphs across the Second Sea for specific awakenings, including one near the Sky Walk unlock area and one linked to Flower Capital used toward Gear 5. So the Rocky Pillars stone is the first one you will find, not the only one.
