Cavern of Chaos: Difference between revisions

This sublevel is very large, just like sublevel 9 of the Subterranean Complex, but difficult nonetheless if you have a small amount of red Pikmin. Along with a few [[Swooping Snitchbug]]s who try to pick up your Pikmin, there are three [[Fiery Bulblax]]es here, and each contains a treasure. To kill the Fiery Bulblax, you can take 9 to 11 purple pikmin and throw them directly on top of the Bulblax as quickly as you can. Then whistle them back before they die. The bulblax will be stunned. Repeat quickly untill it dies, also bring some red pikmin with you to.Throw the red pikmin first. Or If you have [[ultra-bitter spray]]s, now would be a great time to use them. Throw a group of 15-30 red Pikmin on top of a Fiery Bulblax, and if he tries to eat your Pikmin, spray him with the ultra-bitter and swarm him with all your reds. If you don’t have ultra-bitters, you can try using [[ultra-spicy spray]]s on your red Pikmin to increase their speed and strength. If you have neither ultra-bitter nor ultra-spicy sprays, try to throw Pikmin onto his back and call them back when they are in trouble. Or just throw continuous red Pikmin onto its back. However, you may get unlucky and lose a few Pikmin with no sprays. Defeat all three Fiery Bulblaxes, and take back the [[Frosty Bauble]], [[Gemstar Wife]], and [[Essence of Despair]] the Bulblaxes left behind. Find the hole (which is next to your starting area) and continue down.

This sublevel is unique, in that it contains the most enemies of any sublevel in the game – over 50 [[Dwarf Red Bulborb]]s, along with two [[Gatling Groink]]s as well. To defeat a Gatling Groink, try to trap it by a wall, and then come in with an army of 20-30 [[Purple Pikmin]] and attack its backside. Once it is defeated, take it back as soon as possible, as its health [[HP#Regeneration|regenerates]]. To get through this sublevel without any casualties, use the aforementioned strategy on defeating Gatling Groinks, and then go through the level with an army of purples, leaving a captain with the rest of your Pikmin to keep an eye on them. Go through the sublevel, using purples to defeat the dwarves. The reason you go through the sublevel with so few Pikmin is to make sure that Pikmin that are left behind don’t get eaten by other Bulborbs. Use the purples to kill any Bulborbs that are in your path, but don’t take any of them back yet. Several parts in the sublevel have a huge cluster of Bulborbs together – resist the urge to swarm them! Just keep throwing your purple Pikmin and you will be fine. Eventually in the sublevel, you will get to its only treasure, the [[Fruit Guard]], in a dead-end somewhere. If you’ve already cleared the area of Dwarf Red Bulborbs, that’s great – take the treasure back. If not, go back and clear it, as the Bulborbs will try to eat your Pikmin on the way back. After you’re sure everything is dead and all your Pikmin are safe, you can start taking back the massive amount of carcasses. Find the hole and jump down.
