Location of the Sphere of Truth on sublevel 1 of the Below-Grade Discotheque

The Sphere of Truth is hanging on a cobweb on the far western side of sublevel 1 of the Below-Grade Discotheque. Despite being right next to you when you land at the base, to collect it, you must go around to the upper ledge, build the clay mound, and throw 7 Yellow Pikmin at it. Before you build the clay mound, you should defeat the 3 Tusked Blowhogs nearby, as they're likely to eat your Pikmin as they are carrying clay chunks from the base to the mound.

Notes[edit]

Schnauz's notes[edit]

“Behold this sublime sphere! A shape this flawless does not exist in nature. And so, since ancient times, this orb and others like it have been treated as sacred by the civilization here. Each sphere has its own meaning. This one represents truth of the deepest kind.”

Olimar's notes[edit]

“This ball is meant to represent truth, but the truth is never truly black or white. It's both subjective and objective, and extremely tricky. I think the color grey would make more sense for this object, or maybe that hideous brown you get when you mix all the paint colors together.”

Louie's notes[edit]

“I should draw the boss's face on this and roll it far, far away.”
