The '''Subterranean Complex''' ({{j|地下の秘密基地|Chika no Himitsu Kichi|Subterranean Secret Base}}) is a [[cave]] in the [[Valley of Repose]], and is typically the second cave accessed in the area. It starts out as a snow-covered cave like the [[Emergence Cave]]; however, as one goes deeper into the complex it becomes a rusty, mechanical area with bottomless pits. Many of the enemies here have projectile and explosive attacks – be very careful when handling Pikmin, as explosions will kill them instantly.

Many of the enemies here have projectile and explosive attacks – be very careful when handling Pikmin, as explosions will kill them instantly. The [[boss]] of the cave is the [[Man-at-Legs]], a bio-mechanical [[Arachnorb]] specimen armed with a laser-guided machine gun-like weapon. The total value of all the treasure here is {{pokos|1480}} in the US [[Region|version]] and {{pokos|1310}} in the European version, mainly consisting of treasures from the [[Industrial Set]] and [[Hyper-technology Series]]. | ||

Like the [[Frontier Cavern]], it is impossible to reach this cave before getting [[Blue Pikmin]]. Use Blue Pikmin to remove the [[clog]] in the first pond and build a [[bridge]] over the second. Once this is done, Pikmin of all types can be brought across.

Use Blue Pikmin to remove the [[clog]] in the first pond and build a [[bridge]] over the second. Once this is done, Pikmin of all types can be brought across. Beside the [[Watery Blowhog]] that is beyond the clump of enemies is a gate covered by [[poison emitter]]s, requiring [[White Pikmin]] to destroy. The cave is located beyond this gate, up a slope that is challenging for Pikmin to climb. Defeating the [[Decorated Cannon Beetle]]s, the various [[Blowhogs]] and the [[Cloaking Burrow-nit]] is recommended, but not strictly necessary. | ||
No water is found in this cave, so your Pikmin squad should not include [[Blue Pikmin]]. The hazards of this dungeon are limited, with more focus being placed on [[bomb rock]] explosions, so minimal care needs to be placed on the proportions of the other Pikmin types. There is little reason to include less than 100 Pikmin in your party to take advantage of the [[Queen Candypop Buds]] until after all treasures have been collected, unless you elected to bring a small squad of [[Purple Pikmin]]. This is because the [[Queen Candypop Buds]] are located on sublevel 8, and the only danger following is the [[Man-at-Legs]]. | No water is found in this cave, so your Pikmin squad should not include [[Blue Pikmin]].

The cave starts off with the first sublevel having a snowy cave appearance, much like the other caves in the Valley of Repose. However, this is the only sublevel in this cave to have a snowy theme. | The cave starts off with the first sublevel having a snowy cave appearance, much like the other caves in the Valley of Repose.

Start by destroying the poison | Start by destroying the poison pipes and defeating some [[Bumbling Snitchbug]]s if they happen to be an annoyance. The [[Snow Bulborb]]s and [[Hairy Bulborb]]s can then be dealt with, preferably using [[Purple Pikmin]]. There are two treasures in this level: the [[Nouveau Table]], which should be buried, and the [[Exhausted Superstick]]. | ||

The enemies should now be attacked one by one. The [[Swooping Snitchbug]] here has a high tendency to throw Pikmin in the gaps that are between the larger expanses. This still doesn't make it as big of a threat as the Dirigibugs, but it still shouldn't be completely ignored.

In this sublevel, it is recommended to first dismiss the Pikmin into the corner behind the Research Pod, and to take a leader around the whole floor and disarm all the [[bomb rock]]s and [[Volatile Dweevil]]s. This is because it's much safer to have them explode while nothing is around, rather than when the Pikmin are busy. Once everything is cleared, Whites should be used to collect the [[Mystical Disc]] and the [[Adamantine Girdle]]. More [[Dweevil family|Dweevils]] and [[Bomb rock|bomb-rocks]] will fall when the Pikmin carry the treasures, so follow them carefully.
