The Merciless Extractor (搾取者の台座?, lit.: "Exploiter's Pedestal") is a treasure in Pikmin 2 and Pikmin 4. It is actually a manual fruit juicer. In the US version of Pikmin 2, it is found in one of the corners of the first sublevel of the Shower Room, and the European version places it on sublevel 5. This treasure is absent from the Japanese version. In Pikmin 4, it can be found in the Doppelgänger's Den.

This treasure is in the Shower Room, though the sublevel depends on the version: sublevel 1 in the US version, and sublevel 5 in the European version. There may be electric wires, falling boulders, Wollywogs, and Watery Blowhogs protecting the treasure.

Collecting the treasure in Pikmin 4[edit]

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

The Merciless Extractor is behind a corner near the northwest of sublevel 1 of the Doppelgänger's Den. It is inside of a hydro jelly, and is near a bubble geyser, which should be destroyed before attempting to transport it. The path the Pikmin will take back depends on which obstacles exist. To ensure the safest retrieval, kill the Skeeterskates in the nearby pond, destroy the hydro jelly on the southern corridor of the pool room, and open the ice wall north of the base. To collect this treasure, you must throw 7 Pikmin at it.

Notes

Olimar's journal

When I look at the president, I can't see myself climbing the corporate ladder. To be a manager, you've got to be an inhuman, heartless villain. This trait allows them to flog their dedicated workers without mercy and still sleep at night. I feel that same merciless cruelty radiating from this metallic altar. I wonder if it was once used for dark, unspeakable ceremonies. Or perhaps it was once the desk of a corporate boss. We'll never know...

Sales pitch

Squeeze. Squeeze! Had enough? SQUEEEEEZE! A ruthless, savage heart in machine form! No giant fruit can retain its juice in the face of this relentless wringing device. If you are greedy down to the last drop, this is for you!

Schnauz's notes[edit]

Squeeze! Squeeze! Had enough? No?! Well, let's squeeeeze some more! A ruthless, savage heart beats inside this machine. Indeed, no giant fruit can retain its juice in the face of this device's relentless wringing. But if it's the very last drop you seek, then the Merciless Extractor is for you!

Olimar's notes[edit]

When I look at the company president, I can't see myself climbing the corporate ladder. To be a manager, it seems like you've also got to be an inhuman, heartless villain. These traits allow them to squeeze their dedicated workers without mercy and still sleep at night. I feel that same merciless cruelty radiating from this metallic altar. I wonder if it was once used for dark, unspeakable ceremonies. Or perhaps it was once the desk of a corporate boss. We'll never know...

Louie's notes[edit]

Used for extracting fruit juices, but could serve as a cup if necessary.
