This article is about the blue jewel on a square. For the purple jewel, see Essence of Desire.

The Essence of True Love (宇宙愛のモニュメント?, lit.: "Monument of Space Love") is one of the treasures found in Pikmin 2. It is actually a cushion cut sapphire mounted on a square gold or brass loop. It is located on the second sublevel in Hole of Heroes. This level is filled with Swooping Snitchbugs, Bumbling Snitchbugs, and other flying enemies. Before retrieving it, defeat the Antenna Beetle and the Anode Beetles, as the former poses a hinderance in finding this treasure and the latter can pose a threat to your non-Yellow Pikmin. Locate the treasure with the Treasure Gauge and bring it to the Ship's Pod. Watch out for Snitchbugs and Careening Dirigibugs, which can cause disaster to unattended groups of Pikmin.

Notes

Olimar's journal

That's peculiar... When I gaze at this stone, all of my stress seems to wash away. I'm suddenly not so annoyed with my irrational boss and unappreciative underlings. I'm not even annoyed with the tight-fisted corporation I slave each and every day for.

Sales pitch

Wash away all your stress and angst with the glory of this enduring symbol of love.
