you need to find the hidden steps
You Need The Silver Wing To Get Lugia In Johto. In Gold, You Get It From A Hobo In Kanto After You Show Him Ho-oh. In, Silver You Get It From The Radio Director. In Crystal, You Choose Whether You Get The Silver Or Rainbow Wing From The Radio Director. After You Get It, Go To One Of The Whirl Islands. You Find It Just East Of Cianwood City. You Need To Use Whirlpool To Get Past As Whirlpools As They Cover Every Entrance To The Islands. Then Go As Deep As You Can. Then You Use Boulders To Block Currents So You Can Surf To An Island To Meet Him (Just Like Catching Articuno In Kanto). But... Beware... He Is At Level 70.
You need the rainbow wing to get to ho-oh. But there are other things you must do before you can ascend the tower. really? Pokemon? dude. get laid really? scrolling through Pokemon questions? dude, your ovbiously the 40 year old virgin.
once you have the silver wing off the old man in pewter city, you need to go to whirl islands and he is under them.
The Whirl Islands, but you need to help all 5 Kimono Girls. You will go back to Etrueak City and go into the dance studio. You will beat all five Kimono Girls and they will give you a silver wing. Then go to the closest Whirl Island to Olivine and then go down through to the bottom and they will be waiting for you with Lugia in your sight. To even be able to come across lugia, you will need a silver wing. (A Silver wing is obtained once you defeat team rocket in goldenrod city.) Once you have the silver wing head to the whirl islands(you will need hm06 whirlpool (given to you by lance after beating team rocket in Goldenrod City). Look on your map to see where whirl islands are, unfortunately the path to lugia is quite long once your in the whirl island caves. But my advice would be to look up the maps on a Pokemon helper/guide/info website. I recommend not using your masterball on this Pokemon, just save beforehand so it wont matter if you kill it, or it kills you. (Save your masterball for the legendaries that apear in the grass).
silver wing and tide bell
you find lugia in whirl island you need surf and flash to get around but you need the HM whirlpool to get past the whirlpool at the entrance of the cave
Lugia will be in Whirl Islands. You will need to get the Silver Wing from the old man in Pewter City before you can encounter Lugia, however.
You can find it on Whirl Islands, if you have a Silver Wind. If you play SoulSilver you also need Tidal Bell with the Silver Wing.
If your talking about Lugia from pokemon silver or SoulSilver then you need the silver wing for SIlver version. But for SoulSilver its a little different you will have to beat The kimono sisters then they you will have to meet them in the whirlpool islands watch a cutscene where they dance and lugia appear and fight Lugia where you can kill or catch it. But for HeartGold I dont remember how you get the wing for it but you must beat the game first before you catch Lugia.
Yes
you need the silver wing key item
you need the silver wing
You don't need one. First you need to get the silver wing, and then beat the kimono girls, and they will give you the tide bell.
For Ho-oh you need the Rainbow wing For Lugia you need the Silver wing
