Start off by collecting the treasure lying around, if you want, then start looking for a Watery Blowhog and a pipe. Kill the Blowhog and go down the pipe, where you should see some fire geysers. Continue walking and you'll see a Fiery Bulblax. Use an ultra-bitter spray and your Reds. Snatch the key, watching the Pikmin carry it because Dweevils might appear: make sure they don't take it. Next, grab some more treasures if you like, and then go down the hole.

Room with pool	Room with waterway with grill	Square room with 1 exit

The high-strung, hungry Orange Bulborb has the key needed. Use your ultra-spicy spray. Sneaking up from behind is advisable, but most of the time it's in a small room, making that impossible. If you don't like its placement, reset the cave. Grab some treasure, since there should be lots of time (there is also a lot of treasure). Open the geyser and exit.
