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, [[Sheargrub]]s, and a protective [[Armored Cannon Beetle Larva]]. Pass the Conifer Spire's resting place and travel down the bamboo 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.

You will encounter hordes of enemies and all hazards in this cave. It is highly recommended you take 20 Yellow and Blue Pikmin, 15 White, 15 Purple, and 30 Red. This way you can face every obstacle with a good offensive group. Another idea is to take 45 Red Pikmin, 25 Blue, 15 Yellow, 10 White and 5 Purple. 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 a lot of Red Pikmin is the way to go. Purples will help; however, it is recommended to have reinforcements. Frustratingly, the Hole of Heroes, like the other two caves in the Wistful Wild, contains bosses that prove to be quite challenging, but offer no suit or gameplay upgrade for defeating them.

The enemies here prove to be chores, aside from the Wogpoles, but the 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 Dumples don't take too long to kill with a pilot. After collecting the [[Nutrient Silo]] ([[Stringent Container]] in the European [[Region|version]]), get rid of the seal over the hole and jump in for your next boss fight.

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; of course, most of the sublevel is flooded, making it impossible for Yellows to access it. Should this happen, reset and try again. This sublevel's layout only appears twice in the game, and its music is unique.

This arena is roomy, and you'll find a Ranging Bloyster just waiting to feed. Get your Pikmin safe behind the hole or in a dead end, and defeat the Cannon Beetles with their own boulders. Otherwise, the Pikmin will be crushed to death. Then you can move to the big blob. Split into two teams, surround the beast, and alternate between captains to get a good shot at the bulb on the monster's back. Again, you may want to feed it White Pikmin as a last resort. Soon enough, you'll get the [[Joyless Jewel]] as the prize.

You are able to petrify it, but you must spray it from the sides; attempting to spray its behind or face will not work. Attack with Purples if you can. If not, Red Pikmin may do just as well, but any Pikmin can do the job. Be careful when dealing with the beast and make sure you know what you're going to do about the offspring when they arrive, if they have time to.

Take cover when it starts to roll from side to side. The ceiling conveniently comes down very close to where you stand. A safe place is behind the hole, so find time to break down the gate. If you push all of your Pikmin against a wall, the boulders won't usually hit you. At the end of the fight, feel free to search for any nectars that were dropped by the larva. If you're having trouble trying to get to the Empress Bulblax's head, have one captain move a little when there's no Larvae and the other [[punch]] each baby. This is also a good place to add the [[Common Glowcap]] to your [[Piklopedia]] if you haven't already.
Take cover when it starts to roll from side to side. The ceiling conveniently comes down very close to where you stand. A safe place is behind the hole, so find time to break down the gate. If you push all of your Pikmin against a wall, the boulders won't usually hit you. At the end of the fight, feel free to search for any nectars that were dropped by the larva. If you're having trouble trying to get to the Empress Bulblax's head, have one leader move a little when there's no Larvae and the other [[punch]] each baby. This is also a good place to add the [[Common Glowcap]] to your [[Piklopedia]] if you haven't already.

The Hole of Heroes, geniously named, holds a few final surprises for you, as the creatures you're going to face from now on go from metallic to organic, and the Man-at-Legs here is the first of them.

The spider awaits in the middle of a moat of water, so take all the blue Pikmin with you, assuming they survived [[#Sublevel 6|sublevel six]]. Best of luck in this fight, and take shelter behind the metal walls and bumps littered around here. It is recommended to use both sprays to defeat this boss. Collect the [[Memorable Gyro Block]] and move on.
