Search for the other two treasures; the Diet Doomer is usually in the open, as is the Pastry Wheel. Look for the hole and leave. There is also a geyser on this floor, allowing you to escape after having found all treasures. However, there is little sense to doing so, as the level is usually cleared before the Waterwraith appears. | Search for the other two treasures; the Diet Doomer is usually in the open, as is the Pastry Wheel.

Finally, the [[Dwarf Orange Bulborb]]s can be killed by just swarming them the old-fashioned way. The final treasure, the Confection Hoop can be found on a ledge guarded by some Dwarf Orange Bulborbs. To get there, walk to the opposite ledge and throw Pikmin over the gap and to the treasure. Throw more Pikmin over, since it is surrounded by the Bulborbs. | Finally, the [[Dwarf Orange Bulborb]]s can be killed by just swarming them the old-fashioned way.

Getting the treasure back to the Research Pod takes some effort because the Waterwraith is always coming down a small aisle that you have to walk through; do your best to try to avoid it and eventually it will go away. Get the treasure back to your ship and continue on down. | ||

As a side note, it is possible for the Waterwraith to get stuck in one of the corners of this sublevel, making collecting everything a breeze, although the creature will still follow you to the next sublevel once you go in. Also to note is that, due to the way sublevel generation works, the [[Iridescent Glint Beetle]] of this sublevel may not appear, and by extension, the Pale Passion, as detailed [[Pikmin 2 cave generation|here]] and [[Mistake#Missing sublevel objects|here]]. | As a side note, it is possible for the Waterwraith to get stuck in one of the corners of this sublevel, making collecting everything a breeze, although the creature will still follow you to the next sublevel once you go in.

Follow the strategy linked above. Once defeated, the Waterwraith will drop the Professional Noisemaker. This gives you a device called the [[Pluckaphone]], which allows you to [[pluck]] Pikmin sprouts from the ground just by whistling at them. | Follow the strategy linked above.

*Curiously, the games files specify that the [[Music in Pikmin 2#Flooded Stump|musical theme]] for sublevel 6 of the [[Hole of Heroes]] should play on all five sublevels. Despite that, in practice, the Submerged Castle's normal theme is hard-coded to play instead.
