Clog

A clog in the Awakening Wood.

Since this subject has no official name, the name "Clog" is conjectural.

A clog is an obstacle in Pikmin 2 that looks like a cracked rock, used to block the entrance of caves and geysers, and to plug holes underwater so that areas remain flooded. They can be destroyed with Pikmin; often, only Blue Pikmin are able to approach them due to them being submerged. By destroying an underwater clog, a hole is opened up that drains the water from the surrounding area. However, clogs also appear on certain caves, and block the hole that leads to the next sublevel.

Locations

• Valley of Repose: drains lake that gives access to the main part of the area.
• Awakening Wood: drains the small lake behind the ship, providing a shortcut.
• Perplexing Pool: plugs the entrance to the Shower Room and drains the huge pond with the Toady Bloyster when destroyed.
• Wistful Wild: drains an area near the Burgeoning Spiderworts.
• In multiple caves, blocking entrances to the next sublevel.
  • Submerged Castle: sublevels 2, 3 and 4.
  • Hole of Heroes: sublevel 6.
  • Dream Den: sublevels 1, 7 and 11.

Trivia

• In Pikmin 2's game files, the holes on the final sublevels of the Subterranean Complex, the Hole of Beasts and the Bulblax Kingdom are told to contain a clog. This setting is ignored however, as final sublevels don't have holes.
• By entering a cave just before a clog's destruction cutscene takes place, it is possible to bypass the cutscene and still have the clog count as being destroyed.
