The Hole of Heroes is reachable only by the same path used to retrieve the [[Conifer Spire]]. The road there involves a [[Hermit Crawmad]], water that needs to be drained, [[Blowhog]]s, [[Shearwig]]s, and a protective [[Armored Cannon Beetle Larva]]. Pass the Conifer Spire's resting place and traveling down the half pipe to reach the cave entrance. Be careful not to fall off the tree stump so you don't have to take the journey all over again. | The Hole of Heroes is reachable only by the same path used to retrieve the [[Conifer Spire]].

It is highly recommended you either take 20 of each type of Pikmin (This way you can face every obstacle with a good offensive group), or 30 Purples, 20 blues and whites, and 15 reds and yellows (If you want more Purple Pikmin to defeat the bosses). The truth is, the threats that this cave holds are very minor, and do not require many resistant Pikmin to eliminate them; the cave does have many tough bosses though, so I recommend option 2 (as long as you have a bitter spray or 2 to spare). Frustratingly the Hole of Heroes, like the other two caves in the Wistful Wild, contains bosses that prove to be quite challenging, but have no suit or gameplay upgrade for collecting the final treasure. This is forgiveable though because the final treasure has a high poko value (even though this is post game). | ||

Whatever hopes of having a gentle first sublevel are ruined here. [[Creeping Chrysanthemum]]s, [[Sheargrub]]s, [[Shearwig]]s, [[Skitter Leaf]]s, and [[Cloaking Burrow-nit]]s are littered across the scenic maze. [[Purple Pikmin]] are the best choice, but be wary of the [[Dwarf Orange Bulborb]]s that fall from the sky. It's advised that you escort whatever loads your Pikmin are carrying back to the Research Pod. Aside from the [[Corpulent Nut]], the only other items worth grabbing are [[nectar]] or [[sprays]], so keep an eye out for eggs. | Whatever hopes of having a gentle first sublevel are ruined here.

It's the first boss return of the cave. There are three Snagrets, one [[Pileated Snagret]] and a [[Burrowing Snagret]]s, and there's a sandy sinkhole in the middle of the arena that causes a huge issue when you find yourself retreating from the feathered Snagret. Note that you do not have to kill all of the Snagrets. Only one of them will hold the treasure. Find whichever one makes your gauge scream and fight for the [[Lustrous Element]], but be careful not to walk into the other monsters. Locate them if you must. You may want to use [[White Pikmin]] as a last resort. | ||

[[Iridescent Glint Beetle]]s have the same results: 1st hit nectar, 2nd hit sprays. If you have taken severe damage and feel you need to return to the surface, there's a geyser waiting for you here. There's also a [[Queen Candypop Bud]] and plenty of [[nectar]] just in case there's a couple of leaf or bud Pikmin among your deflowered soldiers. | ||

If your blue Pikmin are low in number, the are some [[Candypop Bud]]s here in your favor. You are going to need them if you want a safe journey across this place. Interestingly, this level's layout is only seen twice, and the music is unique for the Hole of Heroes. Anyway, find a safe place for your non-aquatic troops. That may involve some fighting for the territory. If not, great! The enemies here prove to be chores, aside from the [[Wogpole]]s, but the other creatures can be problematic if you're retreating or in a situation where you need all the room you can get without having to call off more soldiers. If you need to, [[Water Dumple]]s don't take too long to kill with a pilot. After gathering the [[Nutrient Silo]] as your treasure, get rid of the seal over the cave and jump in for your next boss fight. | If your blue Pikmin are low in number, the are some [[Candypop Bud]]s here in your favor.

It should be noted that it is possible for the dungeon generator to, in rare cases, give this sublevel an impossible layout, in which the Nutrient Silo is placed atop a stump that is too tall for any color but Yellows to reach, however it is in the water, making it impossible for Yellows to access it. This sub-level also has very distinct music, it can be only found in Wistful Wild caves. | It should be noted that it is possible for the dungeon generator to, in rare cases, give this sublevel an impossible layout, in which the Nutrient Silo is placed atop a stump that is too tall for any color but Yellows to reach, however it is in the water, making it impossible for Yellows to access it.
