The next floor of the cave is plenty different from the previous one. Instead of fire, the area is rigged by electricity producing [[Anode Beetle]]s. [[Swooping Snitchbug]]s also fly above the ground to trouble your Pikmin in their actions. First take some [[Yellow Pikmin]], or [[Purple Pikmin]] instead if you are experienced at dodging the strings of the electricity made by the Anode Beetles. Go in and defeat any of the ground crawling Beetles you see, make sure when using purples that you '''do not''' throw while the electricity is visible, otherwise, they will meet a shocking death. | The next floor of the cave is plenty different from the previous one.

If you see a Snitchbug, go and defeat it too, for they can taunt you while moving treasures, purples can come in handy when grounding them too. After the enemies are gone, take all of your Pikmin and destroy every wall and explore every alcove. The [[Patience Tester]], a large can, should be in an alcove partially buried, and sometimes behind one of these walls. To find the other treasure, the [[Memorial Shell]], take a group of [[White Pikmin]], and use the [[Treasure Gauge]], for it is buried ''completely'' underground. After all the items are gathered, if you haven’t already, you can use the [[Queen Candypop Bud]] that drops from the ceiling in an alcove to gain some Pikmin, especially if you’re short in your total amount of [[Yellow Pikmin]] since you recently discovered them. After your other needs, such as recuperation via the [[nectar]] and [[spray]]s of [[eggs]], you can progress to the next sublevel. | If you see a Snitchbug, go and defeat it too, for they can taunt you while moving treasures, purples can come in handy when grounding them too.

The penultimate level of the cave is still mildly difficult; there are only two enemies found here, [[Water Dumple]]s, and [[Hermit Crawmad]]s, which may be new to you so far if you started to play. Take a squad of [[Purple Pikmin]] and [[Red Pikmin]]. Use the purples for defeating enemies, and reds for destroying fire-spouting geysers. You can also use [[White Pikmin]] for quickly transporting treasures. Find the three treasures, the [[Flame of Tomorrow]], the [[King of Sweets]], and the [[Time Capsule]]. They switch locations but one is found in an alcove, another is found on specific ramps or an alcove, and the third is held by one of the Crawmads. | The penultimate level of the cave is still mildly difficult; there are only two enemies found here, [[Water Dumple]]s, and [[Hermit Crawmad]]s, which may be new to you so far if you started to play.

Once you have recovered all of the treasures, you can use a nearby [[Ivory Candypop Bud]] if you really need some [[White Pikmin]]. [[Eggs]] are also nearby for your use. After you are finished restoring the quality of your team if necessary, move on to the last area of this dungeon. | Once you have recovered all of the treasures, you can use a nearby [[Ivory Candypop Bud]] if you really need some [[White Pikmin]].

The final floor of this cave is very big, and likewise, it has a considerably big enemy lurking in it, the infamous Beady Long Legs. It likely would make its first reappearance in this game here, if you haven’t already seen it somewhere else. You will be far from the boss, but you should get ready, take your [[Yellow Pikmin]], or your [[Purple Pikmin]], if you can handle them well, and move forward. You will be in another area where the [[Regal Diamond]] is buried, but ignore it for now. | The final floor of this cave is very big, and likewise, it has a considerably big enemy lurking in it, the infamous Beady Long Legs.

Once you reach the large circular plain, [[dismiss]] your Pikmin and run forward to make the Beady Long Legs appear. Go back and call your Pikmin, and get ready to battle the creature. If you need to, you can hype up your Pikmin with [[ultra-spicy spray]], and then fight it. It will stomp around and make 4-8 crashes to the ground (make sure you stand back to avoid losing valuable Pikmin) with its big feet, and then lower its head for you to attack. When it lowers its head for a second time when you have thrown Pikmin on it, it usually shakes them off; when it attempts to do so, call your Pikmin off before they are thrown around in a huge mess. If it continues to move without shaking them off, don’t call them, they may deal a lot of damage, but be prepared to call them when necessary. Repeat this process, and you should vanquish the towering insect. | Once you reach the large circular plain, [[dismiss]] your Pikmin and run forward to make the Beady Long Legs appear.

It will release [[The Key]] from its spherical torso, and you can then take it back to the pod, once you do, you get a transmission saying that you can now access [[Challenge Mode (Pikmin 2)|Challenge Mode]] from the [[Menu#Title screen|title screen]]. If you still have some [[White Pikmin]], take them and throw them onto the ledges you saw earlier so they can dig up the completely buried treasure, the [[Regal Diamond]], the [[Treasure Gauge]] may come handy if you’re having trouble finding it. | It will release [[The Key]] from its spherical torso, and you can then take it back to the pod, once you do, you get a transmission saying that you can now access [[Challenge Mode (Pikmin 2)|Challenge Mode]] from the [[Menu#Title screen|title screen]].
