The Impediment Scourge (ライトニングボルト^?, lit.: "Lightning Bolt") is a treasure in Pikmin 2. It is a bottle opener, and has a different design in the Japanese GameCube/Wii version to other versions of the game. It is located on a stump near the landing site of the Perplexing Pool.

Location of the Impediment Scourge.

The following article or section contains guides. The strategies shown are just suggestions.

The treasure is found near the landing site in the Perplexing Pool. It lies on top of a stump, which is rather tall, so it is only accessible to Yellow Pikmin. Purple Pikmin can also reach it if they are thrown at the right angle with a long throw.

Notes

Olimar's journal

“Yellow Pikmin are infatuated with high places! They seem to love it when I toss them high in the air. Once, I hurled them up to a high area, and they came down with this treasure!”

Sales pitch

“More shocking than a lightning bolt! Faster than a light mote! Able to crush rocks in one bash! This device can clear any impediment in one fell swoop!”
