Endless Repository

The Endless Repository is a treasure found in Pikmin 2, but a different object depending on the region. It is a tin of sardines in the US version and a can of  baby Manila clams in the Europe and Japanese versions.

In the US version, it is found in the fifth sublevel of the Shower Room, probably on a ledge or an alcove. Two types of Blowhogs as well as Dwarf Orange Bulborbs will get in the way as the Pikmin are carrying it.

If this item is located inside the water vent, it's very likely that it will get stuck while the Pikmin are carrying it. If it does, it is very difficult to get it out; it may take a lot of repositioning of the Blue Pikmin carrying it. If it takes too long to free, it's best to just reset the console and hope that the treasure is located elsewhere on the next run.

In the European and Japanese versions, this treasure can be found inside one of the two Orange Bulborbs in sublevel 12 of the Dream Den. Defeat the Antenna Beetle first so you can easily find this treasures, and then defeat the Wollywogs and deactivate the poison pipes to cleared out the path.
