Recommended Tactics

When the mission starts, your crew members are located on opposite sides of the cave. Each crew member already has a small squad of Pikmin, so put them to work as quickly as possible.

Use one squad to transport the Fragments on the west side of the cave, then use the other squad to transport the Fragments to the east. While the bridge is being assembled, gather the sprouts and idle Pikmin scattered around the area. Toss one crew member onto the ledge along the cave’s west wall to pluck the last of the sprouts.

When all of the Fragments are in place, gather your Pikmin and move across the bridge. Toss 20 Yellow Pikmin onto the large Electrode, then gather your Pikmin and confront the Vehemoth Phosbat.

Attack the Vehemoth Phosbat as it moves around the area. Use Yellow Pikmin to attack the enemy while it’s in the air, then send your squad charging in each time the Vehemoth Phosbat touches down. Keep your Pikmin away from the Vehemoth Phosbat’s mouth, and use your whistle to calm any Pikmin affected by the creature’s dust. Continue attacking until you complete the mission.

Use the same basic tactics when you’re playing with a partner. Work together to assemble the bridge and gather the available Pikmin. After you and your partner light the cave, work together to keep the Pikmin attacking the Vehemoth Phosbat.
