To get to it, need you open up a Bamboo Gate using Pink Pikmin, and go past. Red, Pink, and Rock Pikmin are recommended for this area, as there are multipul fire hazzards, including Fiery Blowhogs and Fire Geysers. There is also a Spotty Bulbear  patroling the room past the Bamboo Gate, with some Dwarf Bulbears following close behind it. At the end of the room is a Crystal Wall, which can be smashed using Rock Pikmin.  Next to it, on a ledge, is the Astringent Clump, which is slightly buried. Behind the Crystal Wall which was mentioned earlier, will be some Bomb Rocks, which can be used to take out enemies in the room. Kill the Spotty Bulbear , and take the fruit back to Drake .
