The strategies shown are just suggestions.

The Giant's Bath is the twentieth level in Pikmin 2's Challenge Mode. You are exclusively given Blue Pikmin. It has many enemies, including the rare Toady Bloyster, and a boss encounter with the Ranging Bloyster.

Sublevel 1Edit

As you start, go for the Toady Bloyster. Don't go in the water, as you'll waste more time. Before leaving, avoid the Bumbling Snitchbugs, since they are able to grab you. Afterwards, go deeper into the cave. Remember: if you want a pink flower, you don't have to collect any treasure other than The Key dropped by the Toady Bloyster.

Sublevel 2Edit

See also: Ranging Bloyster strategy.

The Ranging Bloyster awaits in the arena. To battle it effectively, split your leaders and ambush it. When moving, be fast and continue switching or it'll start to eat your Pikmin squad. Run until you are under its bulb-like gill and use the same strategy as you did for the Toady Bloyster. Get the key and leave the challenge level.
