This article is about the red grapes inPikmin 3. For the green grapes, seeDawn Pustules.

TheDusk Pustules (ムラサキタワワ^?, lit.: "Purple Abundance") arefruits inPikmin 3 and atreasure inPikmin 4. They are actually a cluster ofpurple grapes. InPikmin 3's Story Mode, they appear three times: in theGarden of Hope, theDistant Tundra, and theTwilight River. The Dusk Pustules, along with their counterpart, theDawn Pustules, are unique in the way that they are obtained inPikmin 3: they are collected likefragments, being individually plucked, with Pikmin returning to the cluster until all fruits have been collected. InPikmin 4 the entire cluster is just one object, and it appears in theDoppelgänger's Den and thePrimordial Thicket.

InBingo Battle, the fruit is only accounted for after the final piece has been delivered to an Onion. When that happens, the player that collected the most pieces is the one that gets the square. If both players collected 10 pieces, they will both be awarded the squares. Finally, if both players get 10 pieces, and both had the Dusk Pustules as their one-away, the player who brought the last piece will be given the square, and will win the match.

Collecting the fruit[edit]

Garden of Hope[edit]

Location of the Dusk Pustules in the Garden of Hope.

The Dusk Pustules in theGarden of Hope are beyond anelectric gate past theFiery Blowhogs. There is a cave beyond the gate, and inside it, there will be a set ofelevator platforms, with some Dusk Pustules just beyond them. First, put a few Pikmin on the opposite side, to give the Pikmin carrying the fruit an easier path. Put a few more Pikmin on the grapes to collect them. However, the elevator platforms can be bypassed completely by usingWinged Pikmin.

Distant Tundra[edit]

Location of the Dusk Pustules in the Distant Tundra.

The Dusk Pustules in theDistant Tundra are in the segment where theVehemoth Phosbat is first encountered. After turning on the lights, there will be an unfinishedclimbing stick, leading up to a bunch of Dusk Pustules. Note that if the Vehemoth Phosbat has not been defeated, the Pikmin will take a longer route to the Drake. You can either let a few Pikmin carry the grapes the long way as the fight with the Phosbat goes on, or defeat the boss and move thepaper bag outside of its cave to quickly retrieve the fruit.

Twilight River[edit]

File:Twilight River minimap.png

Location of the Dusk Pustules in the Twilight River.

The Dusk Pustules in theTwilight River are across the river from the landing site. Near the pipe that leads into the second part of the area, there is an inlet of land, which contains someMale Sheargrubs,pellets, and a bunch of Dusk Pustules. Winged Pikmin are needed to carry the grapes back to the Drake. If you do not have Winged Pikmin, you will have to use Blue Pikmin, but theWater Dumples nearby should be taken out prior to collection.

Collecting the treasure[edit]

Doppelgänger's Den[edit]

There is a cluster of Dusk Pustules hanging from a cobweb near the southwestern corner of sublevel 3 of theDoppelgänger's Den. To collect this treasure, you must be blown from the nearby fan onto the moving platform,jumping onto the metallic platform withOatchi when you reach it, and then continuing to ride the platform to its southernmost point. Then, throw 15 Pikmin at the treasure.

Primordial Thicket[edit]

There is a cluster of Dusk Pustules sitting on a rock ledge on the western edge of the overworld. To collect this treasure, you must throw 15 Pikmin at it. There is toxicsticky mold nearby, so it is wise to clear that out before attempting to transport it.
