Dream Den: Difference between revisions

With one captain and no Pikmin, go out and find a [[Gatling Groink]] as soon as possible. Beat it up with your fists, and make sure to periodically check on the Pikmin, because sometimes a [[Lesser Spotted Jellyfloat]] will come over to your starting platform and start eating them. Another strategy is to use the Gatling Groink's projectiles to kill [[Fiery Blowhog]]s, [[Water Dumple]]s, and [[Wollywog]]s; however, this can take a long time, and enemies may have more than enough time to sneak up on your Pikmin. If you have a spare Ultra-Bitter Spray, you can use it on the Gatling Groink when its health is three-fourths gone; if you can defeat it while it is frozen, you won't have to take the regenerating body back to the ship.

The lone treasure, the [[Talisman of Life]], is inside a Lesser Spotted Jellyfloat, usually far away from the starting area; [[Blue Pikmin]] might be necessary to reach it. However, if you don't have 15 blues, there is actually a trick you can use to get the treasure, as long as you have two purple Pikmin. To execute the trick, you must line up some dead enemy carcasses near land. Then, you want to get the Jellyfloat with the treasure as close to land as possible when it is defeated, so that when its treasure pops it, the carcasses beneath it make it bounce toward the land instead of away from it.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Gg3rysR6l4 YouTube video] showing the tenth sublevel of the Dream Den completed without Blue Pikmin.</ref> Then take back any enemy carcasses you want, and continue down to the next level.
