The player's objective during a night expedition is to either wipe out all of the enemies, or survive until dawn. If a Lumiknoll is destroyed, the night expedition ends right away and the player will have to retry at a later day. The player can choose to retry if this is the case. If the player suffers a [[Pikmin extinction]], the Lumiknoll will spawn 5 Glow Pikmin. | The player's objective during a night expedition is to either wipe out all of the enemies, or survive until dawn.

They start off deactivated, but approaching with a character or a Pikmin is enough to make them light up and become activated. Once activated, they serve as a drop-off point for glow pellets, and also serve as a target for frenzied enemies. While having a Tricknoll be destroyed by enemies does not result in a failure, and can even be encouraged in order to lure enemies away from a Lumiknoll, the player will lose out on a convenient drop-off point for collected glow pellets. | ||
The first Lumiknoll will always be accompanied by a blue beacon right next to it, similar to the ones the player can place down with the [[Survey Drone]]. If there is a second Lumiknoll, that one will be accompanied by an orange beacon. A Lumiknoll's [[health]] appears at the top of the [[HUD]] so the player can always keep track of its state. To further help the player understand what is going on, a mini-[[radar]] exists on the bottom-right corner of the HUD. This mini-radar, as well as the main radar, highlight the location of Lumiknolls, enemies, and particularly frenzied enemies (alongside their direction). Lumiknolls and frenzied enemies also appear as colored silhouettes if they're behind terrain. As enemies get closer to a Lumiknoll, the [[music]] becomes more alarming and sinister, taking on a harrowing melody if any is actively under attack. | The first Lumiknoll will always be accompanied by a blue beacon right next to it, similar to the ones the player can place down with the [[Survey Drone]].
