The '''Hole of Heroes''' is a [[cave]] in [[Pikmin 2]], found in [[Wistful Wild]], the game's fourth and last area. It is the longest cave in the game with 15 [[sublevel]]s and of a difficulty comparable to the other Wistful Wild caves. The later sublevels are based around repeats of encounters with [[:Category:Bosses|bosses]] from earlier in Pikmin 2, including the [[Empress Bulblax]], [[Beady Long Legs]] and [[Man-at-Legs]]. | The '''Hole of Heroes''' is a [[cave]] in [[Pikmin 2]], found in [[Wistful Wild]], the game's fourth and last area.

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, [[Blowhogs]], [[Sheargrubs]], and a protective [[Armored Cannon Beetle Larva]]. Pass the Conifer Spire's resting place and traveling down the halfpipe to reach the cave entrance. Be careful not to fall off the treestump and having to take the journey all over again. | The Hole of Heroes is reachable only by the same path used to retrieve the [[Conifer Spire]].

Whatever hopes of having a gentle first sublevel are ruined here. Creeping Chrysanthemums, Sheargrubs, Shearwigs, Skitterleafs,and Cloaking Burrow-nits are littered across the scenic maze. Purple Pikmin are the best choice, but be weary of the Dwarf Orange Bulborbs 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.

A lot of bug enemies here If that wasn't enough to find all together, bomb rocks drop just like the Dwarf Bulborbs in the last sublevel. Take extreme caution and try to get all of the bombs down with a pilot before bringing your troops in. Excavate the Essense of True Love with White Pikmin. | ||

Sublevel three is a maze | Sublevel three is a maze of all four blowhogs. Barriers make this place a pain, especially when there's a Withering Blowhog right on the other side. All of the blowhogs can attack through the barriers, so be careful with the two earthbound types and do your best to keep the Withering Blowhogs from eating away at your Pikmin's flowers. You'll probably need flowered pikmin for the next sublevel. Volatile Dweevils still appear in this level, so be very careful. Try scouting across all the available terrain alone before moving on, but travel with your group with carrying the Love Sphere and the corpses just in case. One mistake could be all it takes to ruin your chances of success. If you're lucky, a Dweevil may appear next to a blowhog and do damage for you, making your job a little easier. | ||

It's the first boss return of the cave. There are two Snagrets, one Pileated and one Burrowing, 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 both beasts. Only one of them will hold the treasure. Find whatever one makes your gauge scream and fight for the Lustrous Element, but be careful not to walk into both monsters. Locate them both if you must. | ||

Level five is treasureless. There aren't any creatures here that can kill, and all four of them could even contribute to your squad. Mamutas pound your Pikmin into the ground, but give them flowers. Honeywisps and Unmarked Spectralids provide nectar or, if you're lucky, a potion. Glint Beetles have the same random results, nectar, potions, or a pellet | Level five is treasureless.

Honeywisps and Unmarked Spectralids provide nectar or, if you're lucky, a potion. Glint Beetles have the same random results, nectar, potions, or a pellet. 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 on leaf or bud among your deflowered soldiers. | ||

Get your Pikmin safe and defeat the Cannon Beetles with their own boulders before moving 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. Soon enough, you'll get the Joyless Jewel as the prize. | ||

You're more than halfway through, but you get another chance to go back to the surface here, along with red Candypop Buds and a Queen Candypop Bud. If you've lost Pikmin, you can use that and the Bulbmin wandering down here. Be careful, aside from the Bulbmin, Doodlebugs may appear to endanger your soldiers. Lastly, there's a good chance to get nectar and sprays here. Don't worry, there's no treasure here. | ||

The final battle is down here, on the fifteenth level, but that doesn't mean you should rush straight into it. Take care of all the Jellyfloats before getting to close to the middle. When you finally finish off all the Jellyfloats, go to meet the beast Beady Long Legs inspired, Raging Long Legs. Big guy, and he may fool you. The fact that he's slow may convince you he's not too bad, right before he shakes your pikmin off and starts stomping towards you like a bull. It may be intimidating, but it's also a big target. Unlike with some giant mechanical beasts threatening everything around it, the safest place to be is not beneath it, but at least here the threat of being crushed isn't too bad, especially after you figure out what order the giant legs operate in. Use a small group of purples, or a bigger one at your own risk. Your prize is Remembered Old Buddy, or ROB, to take as a souvenir. | The final battle is down here, on the fifteenth level, but that doesn't mean you should rush straight into it.
