The '''Subterranean Complex''' is a [[cave]] located in the [[Valley of Repose]] area.
The '''Subterranean Complex''' is the second [[cave]] located in the [[Valley of Repose]] area.


This giant dungeon starts out as a snow-covered cave like the [[Emergence Cave]]; however, as one gets deeper in the complex it becomes a rusty, mechanical area with bottomless pits, with a style similar to [[Rusty Gulch]]. Many of the enemies here have projectile and explosive attacks – be very careful when bringing Pikmin in, as explosions will kill them instantly. The boss is the [[Man-at-Legs]], an [[Arachnorb]] species armed with a laser-guided machine gun. The total value of all the treasure here is {{pokos|1480}} in the US [[Region|version]] and {{pokos|1310}} in the European version.
You'll have to follow many steps to get to it. First, you may have to kill the [[Dwarf Red Bulborb]] and [[Red Bulborb]] in the arena so they won't eat your [[Pikmin Family|Pikmin]]. You may have to destroy the rock formation in the water and then build a bridge on the other side. Use the [[Decorated Cannon Beetle]]s to kill all of the enemies and then kill the Decorated Cannon Beetles by using their own rocks. If you didn't kill the [[Watery Blowhog]], use your [[Blue Pikmin|Blues]] or [[Purple Pikmin|Purples]] to kill it. Then, use your [[White Pikmin|Whites]] to tear down the [[Gate|poison white gate]] and get rid of the [[gas pipe]]s.


==How to Reach==
This giant dungeon starts out as a snow-covered cave like the [[Emergence Cave]]; however, as one gets deeper in the complex it becomes a rusty, mechanical area with bottomless pits, with a style similar to [[Rusty Gulch]]. Many of the enemies here have projectile and explosive attacks – be very careful when bringing Pikmin in, as explosions will kill them instantly. Recommended Pikmin types here are 35-40 Red Pikmin, 25-30 Yellow, 10-15 White, and 20-25 Purple.
{{image|Cave Location}}


Like the [[Frontier Cavern]], it is impossible to reach the cave before getting [[Blue Pikmin]]. Use Blue Pikmin to remove the [[clog]] in the first pond and build a [[bridge]] over the second. Once this is done, Pikmin of all types can be brought across. Beside the [[Watery Blowhog]] that is beyond the clump of enemies is a gate covered by [[poison pipes]], requiring [[White Pikmin]] to destroy. The cave is located beyond this gate, up a slope that is challenging for Pikmin to climb. Defeating the [[Decorated Cannon Beetle]]s, the various [[Blowhogs]] and the [[Cloaking Burrow-Nit]] is recommended, but not strictly necessary.
The boss is the [[Man-at-Legs]], an [[Arachnorb]] species armed with a laser-guided machine gun.
 
The total value of all the treasure here is {{pokos|1480}} in the US [[Region|version]] and {{pokos|1310}} in the European version.
No water is found in this cave, so your Pikmin squad should not include [[Blue Pikmin]]. The hazards of this dungeon are limited, with more focus being placed on [[explosions]], so little care needs to be placed on the proportions of the other Pikmin types. There is little reason to include less than 100 Pikmin to take advantage of the [[Queen Candypop Buds]] until after all treasures have been collected, unless you elected to bring a small squad of [[Purple Pikmin]]. This is because the [[Queen Candypop Buds]] are located on Sublevel 8, and the only danger following is the [[Man-At-Legs]].
