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. Beside the [[Watery Blowhog]] that is beyond the clump of enemies is a gate covered by [[gas pipe]]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]].

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.

Start by destroying the poison gas 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. The treasures here are the [[Spirit Flogger]] and the [[Network Mainbrain]].

This level has three [[Armored Cannon Larva|Armored Cannon Beetle Larva]]e, along with multiple [[fire geyser]]s. When fighting the beetles, make sure they aren't facing the [[Pit|void]], or else your Pikmin will be tossed into it. Once the threats are cleared, the [[Ivory Candypop Bud]] can be used to make [[White Pikmin]] if desired. Note that because of the way sublevels are generated, the Ivory Candypop Bud might not appear. Treasures here are the [[Superstrong Stabilizer]], the [[Omega Flywheel]] and the [[Coiled Launcher]].

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. Note that, although rare, it is possible for a bomb rock to fall near the starting location.{{cite web|https://clips.twitch.tv/BetterStrangeKathyJonCarnage|Twitch clip|Twitch|published={{date|14|August|2018}}|retrieved={{date|17|August|2018}}}}

A good way to get rid of the walking Gatling Groink is to lure it over a gap which causes it to fall and instantly die. To note is that, due to the way cave sublevels are generated, the stationary Gatling Groink may not appear, and as such, you can miss out on the Indomitable CPU, as detailed [[Pikmin 2 cave generation|here]] and [[Mistake#Missing sublevel objects|here]].

The final floor of the cave contains the boss, the [[Man-at-Legs]]. Initially it appears as an orb in the middle of the arena. Rapidly throwing Pikmin at it before it gets up, preferably [[Purple Pikmin]], will deal a lot of damage to the boss, though not as much in ''[[New Play Control! Pikmin 2]]'', as the creature is invincible while it is getting up. Defeat the boss as per the strategy, recover the Stellar Orb, and return to the surface.
