Submerged Castle: Difference between revisions

The '''Submerged Castle''' is located in the very back of the [[Perplexing Pool]] and is submerged in water, so it is only accessible to [[Blue Pikmin]] with the player; even if one manages to get a non-blue Pikmin to come with them as they enter the cave by utilizing the Blue Pikmin to [[throw]] the other Pikmin as they drown, they still will not enter. It has been programmed into the game that they cannot enter the cave in any way whatsoever<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vLbnXgWkoz4 A video] demonstrating how to bring other Pikmin, and showing that they still won't enter.</ref>. All types of hazards are found here, though there are [[Bulbmin]] to be found as well. To get all 40 Bulbmin, one must bring a maximum of 60 Pikmin.

[[Waterwraith|The boss]] appears on all [[sublevel]]s after 5 minutes of staying in one, making it crucial that the player completes the first four very quickly, as they are unable to properly defeat the creature until the last sublevel. Alternately, the player can attempt to avoid or trap the rampaging monstrosity, or revisit the cave multiple times, taking a small amount of time and only a few treasures on each sublevel.

To get to the cave, one needs to defeat many [[Yellow Wollywog]]s and tear down the black gate near the [[Glutton's Kitchen]]. After the gate is gone, the player needs to defeat two [[Hermit Crawmad]]s, [[Water Dumple]]s and a [[Withering Blowhog]]. The cave's entrance is surrounded by undrainable water, which is exactly why non-blue Pikmin can't enter: it was programmed so that the situation would make sense.

There is a total of 690 [[Poko]]s worth of treasures here in the US [[Region|version]] of the game, and 760 in the European version.
