The '''Submerged Castle''' is located in the very back of the [[Perplexing Pool]] and is submerged in water, so it is only accessible to [[Blue Pikmin]] with the player; even if one manages to get a non-blue Pikmin to come with them as they enter the cave by utilizing the blue Pikmin to [[throw]] the other Pikmin as they drown, they still will not enter. It has been programmed into the game that they cannot enter the cave in any way whatsoever<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vLbnXgWkoz4 A video] demonstrating how to bring other Pikmin, and showing that they still won't enter.</ref>. All types of hazards are found here, though there are [[Bulbmin]] to be found as well. To get all 40 Bulbmin, one must bring a maximum of 60 Pikmin.

{{see also|Waterwraith strategy|l1=Waterwraith#Strategy}}


Here, the Waterwraith will only appear in the arena after you enter. You should have plenty of Bulbmin by this point. Start out by smashing the three gates in the starting area. Since you can't take them with you, use your Bulbmin to produce ten (''more'', if the strategy worked) Purples from the two [[Violet Candypop Bud]]s. Now, smash the three [[egg]]s and use the nectar to give your Pikmin flowers. Then smash the final black gate that blocks access to the boss arena.

Now, smash the three [[egg]]s and use the nectar to give your Pikmin flowers. Then smash the final black gate that blocks access to the boss arena.


First, take note that you need Purple Pikmin to harm it. The Purple Pikmin will stun the Waterwraith and make it solid and purple. This boss will start out by falling and lifting its front steamroller. Get to the side of it as it lifts it and once it drops it, throw a Purple at it &ndash; it will turn solid and purple. When it's purple you can damage it; if it doesn't become purple, then call your Pikmin back and wait for your chance to throw more Purples at it.
Follow the strategy linked above. Once defeated, the Waterwraith will drop the Professional Noisemaker. This gives you a device called the [[Pluckaphone]], which allows you to [[pluck]] Pikmin sprouts from the ground just by whistling at them.
 
Throw Pikmin rapidly at its purple body when it is solidified. Soon, it will roar a few times and turn clear again, sending your Pikmin flying. If this happens and Pikmin don't hit again fast enough, then it will roar again, so gather your Pikmin as it smashes its rocks and starts to roll around.
 
Be sure not to get squished with the rock rollers, or those rocks could flatten your Pikmin. After repeating several times until its [[health]] falls to zero, you will see the rock steamrollers shatter. Now, it runs away from you. Chase it until it bends down and starts panting. There is no way you can get hurt by it, so don't hold back &ndash; unleash all your Pikmin on it. It will shake a lot still, but continue to hurt it.
 
This is one of two bosses that a captain can damage. If you wait too long again, it will start running some more. When the Waterwraith runs out of health this time, it tilts its body and bubbles start popping out. After it does that, the Waterwraith shatters into many bubbles, before being fully vaporized.
 
Once defeated, the Waterwraith will drop the Professional Noisemaker. This gives you a device called the [[Pluckaphone]], which allows you to [[pluck]] Pikmin sprouts from the ground just by whistling at them.
