{{clean}}

The '''Hole of Heroes''' is a [[cave]] in ''[[Pikmin 2]]'', found in the [[Wistful Wild]], the game's fourth and last area. It is the longest cave in the game with 15 [[sublevel]]s but only 13 treasures, and of a difficulty comparable to the other Wistful Wild caves. The later sublevels are based around repeats of encounters with [[Enemy#Boss|bosses]] from earlier in ''Pikmin 2'', including the [[Empress Bulblax]], [[Beady Long Legs]] and [[Man-at-Legs]].

Here is where you want flower Pikmin. It's the first boss return of the cave. There are two Snagrets, one [[Pileated Snagret]] and one [[Burrowing Snagret]], and there's a sandy sinkhole in the middle of the arena that causes a huge issue when you find yourself retreating from the feathered Snagret. Note that you do not have to kill both beasts, only the Pileated Snagret. Fight it for the [[Lustrous Element]], but be careful not to walk into its burrowing partner. Locate both monsters if you must. You may want to use [[White Pikmin]] as a last resort.

This arena is roomy, and you'll find a Ranging Bloyster just waiting to feed. Get your Pikmin safe behind the hole or in a dead end, and defeat the Cannon Beetles with their own boulders. Otherwise, the Pikmin will be crushed to death. Then you can move to the big blob. Split into two teams, surround the beast, and alternate between captains to get a good shot at the bulb on the monster's back. Again, you may want to feed it White Pikmin as a last resort. Soon enough, you'll get the [[Joyless Jewel]] as the prize.

Relive another boss battle as the montage of the bulborb family continues, this time with the [[Pikmin (game)|previous game]]'s final boss: not one, but two [[Emperor Bulblax]]es. These two aren't nearly as big, but they're still deadly. If you're going to scout for nectar and sprays before to attack them, it's okay, but be warned that Mitites may show up.

The bulborb montage reaches a climax as an Empress Bulblax is the last in the family to defeat. You start at its rear, where the babies come out. The Bulborb larva will be instant trouble. Keep your Pikmin away from them. They can eat your Pikmin lightning fast. Get rid of them all before meeting the Empress and going after the treasure it somehow swallowed.

The Hole of Heroes, geniously named, holds a few final surprises for you, as the creatures you're going to face from now on go from metallic to organic, and the Man-at-Legs here is the first of them.

Sublevel 14 is the second-to-last level in this extensive cave, and the creatures here are obviously trying to hint at something. But regardless, deal with all of the Dweevils here before tackling the Beady Long Legs, who's the original inspiration for the boss you just battled, and the one you're about to.

The final sublevel should be explored with caution. It is advised to take care of all the [[Jellyfloat]]s before confronting the boss: a [[Raging Long Legs]]. Just stay away from the center, and give the jellyfloats time to float over to you.
