The '''Cave of Snarls''' is the nineteenth level in {{p2}}{{'s}} [[Challenge Mode (Pikmin 2)|Challenge Mode]]. This level features both species of airborne [[Blowhogs]]. Since the [[Male Sheargrub]]s are the only harmful enemies, a pink flower is almost certain.

The [[Withering Blowhog]] has [[The Key]]. Most [[Sheargrub]]s are female, so only the males that are on the path to the [[Research Pod|pod]] need to be killed.

The Withering Blowhog has The Key again. There are some mechanic parts sitting around, such as the [[Network Mainbrain]]. The Key can either be taken directly at a risk or after defeating the Blowhogs. They should spawn close together, so [[ultra-bitter spray|bitter sprays]] should be quite effective.
