The '''Cave of Snarls''' is the nineteenth level in [[Challenge Mode (Pikmin 2)|Challenge Mode]] in [[Pikmin 2]].

== Sublevel 1 ==
The '''Cave of Snarls''' is the nineteenth level in {{p2}}{{'s}} [[Challenge Mode (Pikmin 2)|Challenge Mode]]. This level features both species of airborne [[Blowhogs]]. Since the [[Male Sheargrub]]s are the only harmful enemies, a pink flower is almost certain.
The [[Withering Blowhog]] has [[The Key]]. You can pretty much forget the [[Sheargrub]]s, because about 70% should be female (watch out for males that are on the path to the [[research Pod|pod]]).

Again the Withering Blowhog has The Key. There are some mechanic parts sitting around, such as the [[Network Mainbrain]]. Take The Key after defeating the Blowhogs (they should be close together, so take them out with [[Ultra-bitter spray|bitter sprays]]) and exit.

The following article or section contains guides.
The strategies shown are just suggestions.

The Cave of Snarls is the nineteenth level in Pikmin 2's Challenge Mode. This level features both species of airborne Blowhogs. Since the Male Sheargrubs are the only harmful enemies, a pink flower is almost certain.

Sublevel 1Edit

The Withering Blowhog has The Key. Most Sheargrubs are female, so only the males that are on the path to the pod need to be killed.

Sublevel 2Edit

The Withering Blowhog has The Key again. There are some mechanic parts sitting around, such as the Network Mainbrain. The Key can either be taken directly at a risk or after defeating the Blowhogs. They should spawn close together, so bitter sprays should be quite effective.

  1. ^ a b The sublevel's data makes it so 99 Glowstems should spawn in total, but no sublevel layout can ever accommodate that many. All layouts end up generating exactly 28.
