TheDoomsday Apparatus (超重ギガンティス?, lit.: "Super-heavy Gigantis") is the heaviest and most valuabletreasure inPikmin 2. It is a heavily rusted 1-kilogramdumbbell, and is found in theWistful Wild, not too far from the landing site. Due to its weight, 100Purple Pikmin are needed to be able to pick up this item; and even then, it takes at least a quarter of a day to carry back to theHocotate ship without usage ofUltra-spicy spray.
Collecting the treasure[edit]
The following article or section containsguides. |
While carrying the treasure, it is advised to attack and defeat theGatling Groink,Dwarf Bulborbs andDecorated Cannon Beetle – and if possible,Yellow Wollywog andFiery Blowhog – in the area, so as to clear the way in advance for exploring the rest of the level.
The best place to amass Purples to reach 100 for the Doomsday Apparatus is theSubterranean Complex, which has threeViolet Candypop Buds and twoQueen Candypop Buds on sublevel 8, along with manyeggs that can be obtained throughout the cave.
TheBulblax Kingdom is also ideal as a safer option, due to its close proximity to the landing site. It has three Violet Candypop Buds: two on sublevel 4 and one on sublevel 6.
Weight[edit]
The label on this object says that the Doomsday Apparatus weighs 1 kilogram. This discovery has led to a lot of confusion. Although creating a formula from this would allow easy conversion between the in-game weight units and real-world units, the theory breaks down when real-world objects are weighed and compared to the weights predicted. For example, theProton AA treasure weighs 6 units, whereas actual AA batteries weigh as much as 25 grams.
