The '''Submerged Castle''' ({{j|水中の城|Suichū no Shiro|Castle in the Water}}) is a [[cave]] in the [[Perplexing Pool]] in {{p2}}. Located in a far corner of the area, its entrance is submerged in [[water]], meaning only [[Blue Pikmin]] can enter the cave. The cave contains all 4 elemental [[hazard]]s, making it quite dangerous, though [[Bulbmin]] are found within the cave. The most notable part of the Submerged Castle is its [[boss]]: the [[Waterwraith]]. After 5 minutes are spent in a sublevel, the Waterwraith will drop from the ceiling and start chasing the [[leader]]s and their [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]]. It is capable of [[Blunt force|crushing]] Pikmin with its rollers, making it extremely dangerous. It is impossible to defeat until the 5th and final sublevel, where [[Violet Candypop Bud]]s allow [[Purple Pikmin]] to be created, which are the boss's only weakness. There are a total of {{pokos|690}} worth of treasures here in the US [[Region|version]] of the game, and {{pokos|620}} in the European version.

#The best way to deal with it is to quickly snag all of the treasures and leave the sublevel before it appears. This means that you must NOT waste any time, so only focus on the treasures. Ignore enemies whenever possible and don't bother bringing back their carcasses.
