The Director of Destiny (運命ディレクター?, lit.: "Destiny Director") is a treasure in Pikmin 2 and Pikmin 4, and is actually a compass. In Pikmin 2, the glass covering it is shattered, and the needle is stuck in a single position. In Pikmin 4, it is instead a still intact compass, with black coloring and proper labels. In Pikmin 2, the compass does not actually point to the North as shown by the radar. The model can be pivoted by enemies such as Anode Beetles, and this will change the indicated direction. It is found on sublevel 3 of the Glutton's Kitchen, usually in an alcove. There are Breadbugs, Anode Beetles, a Puffy Blowhog, and many other electrical hazards and enemies on this sublevel that may pose a threat. In Pikmin 4, it is found on the first sublevel of Last-Frost Cavern, on a pot.

Notes

Olimar's journal

With the help of my Pikmin, I've been able to widen the radius of my salvage search. The new areas that have opened up to exploration are far more dangerous. Just to be safe, I'd better review Pikmin traits and characteristics.

Press the X Button on the GameCube controller / the C Button on the Nunchuk to dismiss your Pikmin and separate them into color groups.

Press the A Button on the GameCube controller / the A Button on the Wii Remote to pick up and hold Pikmin.

While holding Pikmin, press the + Control Pad on the GameCube controller Left or Right / the B Button on the Wii Remote to switch the color of Pikmin you're holding.

Sales pitch

This amazing, fortune-telling device follows the flow of fate with eerie accuracy. It calculates the magnetic fields of planets, stars, and living organisms to track the pulse of destiny itself. If you're an optimist who feels that life points both south and north, this is for you!

Collecting the treasure

It is on a ledge in a clay pot near the beginning of Sublevel 1 of the Last-Frost Cavern in the Sun-Speckled Terrace. To collect this treasure, you must throw 7 Pikmin at it. It can also be knocked down with a Rush from Oatchi.

Trivia

  • In Pikmin 4, the cardinal letters glow in the dark. This is best seen in Treasure Catalog by swapping to night.
