All Rescues, Treasures, and Sublevel Caves: Day 16

Below is a quick summary of all the treasures and rescues you'll be able to find on this day. You can find the step-by-step Walkthrough on how to do this further down the page.

Hero’s Hideaway

As you get back to Hero's Hideaway, go toward the fan that will take you up to the bunker but there's no need to jump on it yet. Instead, go left towards the Gildemandwee. Use your Raw Material to build the ramp on the right, that will lead up to the stairs.

Go underneath the chair when you've assigned these tasks and smash the pot to find a treasure.

Fist-Force Combobot

Now go back toward the bunker, but take the ramp on the left just before it. This will lead you to a floating platform that will lift you up to the top of the counter. Get ready to throw 10 Pikmin at the ring in the box on the shelf as you go up.

Unbreakable Promise

At the top, use Oatchi to charge at the Mini Snootwhackers and knock them over. This will expose their soft bellies, letting the Pikmin attack them. When both of them have been tackled, send your Yellow Pikmin left to dig the tunnel to create a shortcut. With your Ice Pikmin, go right and take out the spiders.

Now look to the right side of the counter. If you're facing the pots, you can see a rail on the right that you can ride back down towards the base. This will allow you to pick up a treasure nearby and lower a climbing rope. But before you do this, smash the pots and collect the five treasures here.

Perforated Raft x 5

Now go right and ride the rail back down to the stairs. As you reach the end, send 5 Pikmin to lower the rope and another to get the playing card.

Power Emblem

Go back to the top of the counter where you hit the Snootwhackers, then take the tunnel down to the bottom of the kitchen. Go left, toward the window. You're heading for the next mission base to unlock here.

But as you get closer to it, you'll see there's a Paper Bag on the left you can push down. Send 10 Pikmin over to it, to do this. Then, look to the right and you'll see a box by the window. Move this as well to reveal a tunnel, but ignore it for now and turn right again.

The next base is here but it's covered in Shearfleas. Use your Rock Pikmin to clear out the base. Now, move the S.S. Beagle over to it. Behind the base, there is another group of Shearfleas. Head over here and clear them out as well. As you do, an Icy Blowhog will come down. Defeat this, then go right and pick up the pile of Raw Material.

To the right of this pile, on the other side of the counter, there are a number of Dwarf Frosty Bulborbs and a Frosty Bulborb. Attack the little ones first, before you take on the big one.

Then go left, and smash the pots. Two Gildemandwee will be in here, as well as a Searing Achidshock.

Searing Acidshock

Go right, clear the Dwarf Frosty Bulborbs out, then the spider. Collect the last treasure here then return to the Paper Bag.

Sure-Footed Combobot

Go down it, and go right. Climb up the wooden blocks to reach the platform.

As it gets to the top, prepare to charge and take out the Snootwhacker. The next cave you're going to explore is here, but first, send 20 Yellow Pikmin to get the picture frame up on the right.

Buddy Display

Plunder Palace

As you head right you'll see a group of creatures made up of Amprats and Breabugs. These Breadbugs will steal things from you, so you'll want to clear them out so you don't have to keep taking them back.

After clearing out the creatures, go to the right and dig up the treasure from the sand pile.

Disk of Surprising Widsom x 2

Keep going right, and before you get to the next creature, look in the grass on the left for the next treasure.

Solar-Powered Computing Machine

Follow the path and clear out the rest of the little creatures. Break the wall down on the right to create a shortcut, then hop up to get the disk from above.

Disk of Sorrowful Widsom

Keep climbing up and toward the fan. You won't be able to ride it, but you can send your Pikmin over to collect the two treasures on the other side.

Go-with-the-Flow Totem x 2

When everything else has been gathered, go to the exit, and turn right just next to it. Climb up onto the block, then throw Yellow Pikmin up to get the last treasure.

Long-Shot Totem

Sublevel 2

Start at the northeast corner and use Rock Pikmin to smash through the crystal wall. Help the Rock Pikmin take down the Whiptongue, then pick up the pile of Gold Nuggets.

Gold x 15

Go back to the S.S. beagle, then go to the crystal wall in the southwest corner. Break this, the clear out the creatures here. On the left, there's a pile of Raw Material. Turn around and you'll see a slope up to a fan, don't go up this yet, but you will come back to it a moment.

Instead, go left and get the bird, then rush with Oatchi to get the robot.

Kick-Start Combobot

Go back to the S.S. Beagle, then go to the southeast corner, get the two birds, then ride the fan over to the next treasure and Rock Pikmin you can pluck from the ground.

Dimension Converter

Now go up the ramp where the fan was of earlier and switch it on. Go back to where you just rode the fan, and jump across to the exit, but be sure to collect the treasure from the platform on the left first.

Nexus Combobot

Sublevel 3

This level is just a fight against a Porquillion. Go right to get the Rock Pikmin first, then take on the Porquilin. This will get you your next castaway.

Twyla

Sublevel 4

Go forward and hit the Waddlequaff, then climb up the rope behind it and pick up the pile of Gold Nuggets.

Gold Nuggets x 20

Drop down the back of the ledge you're standing on, and turn right. Here you can find a Memory Fragment piece tucked away.

Memory Fragment (Bottom Left)

Go back to the S.S. Beagle, and go to the right. Break the crystal wall down using Rock Pikmin, then go over to the left to get the rubber duck.

Planetary Rubber Cutie

Now go right (opposite the entrance that takes you to the rubber duck) and hop up the stairs. Here you can pick up the Talisman of Life treasure.

Talisman of Life (Rain)

Turn and face the ledge, opposite the fan. Throw 5 Yellow Pikmin up to lower it. Climb to the top and press the button to change the airflow streams.

The fan below will now be on, so jump in it and ride over to the other ledge. Drop the climbing rope here, and then Disband, so Oatchi stays there.

Go back to the button, press it, and return to where you just were. With the fan back on, you can ride across to the Waddlequaff at the top. This creature has the last 4 treasures on this level.

Disk of Joyous Widsom x 3

Disk of Amusing Wisdom

Sublevel 5

The way you want to approach this level is to go around the outside first, clear all the creatures and collect the treasures. Then, break down the crystal wall and go inside the playing blocks.

As you make your way around the perimeter, so will a number of creatures and you'll want to attack them from behind. If you head around the outside clockwise, you'll come to a candy cane first.

Sweet Stumble-Not

Further down there are a bunch of creatures and two cookies on the ledge.

Love's Fortune Cookie

Hearty Container

Make your way back round to the start, and pick up the pile of Raw Material. Then, break down the crystal wall. As you enter, turn left and you'll pick up a treasure from the grass.

Perforated Raft

At this point, you should've encountered the first Giant Breadbug and tackled it. This will drop a treasure.

S.S. Berry

Now go and build the slope so you can reach the second Giant Breadbug and the castaway.

Disk of Angry Widsom x 3

<meta />

Go to the top of the building blocks and take the ramp up to the very top. Here you'll see a Flarlic and two treasures. As you approach them, a Puffy Blowhog will come down.

Disguised Delicacy

Sweet Torrent

Flarlic

Drop down on the right and use the Purple Candypop Bud to get more Purple Pikmin before exiting.

That's all you should be able to do for this day, so head back to the Rescue Command Post and end the day.
