The strategies shown are just suggestions.

This treasure is found on the mainland in thePerplexing Pool, and is found near the twoBurgeoning Spiderworts. It is almost in the same place as theUV Lamp inPikmin, and the tactic in getting it is just the same. JustswarmYellow Pikmin against the wall (be sure to have 15 or more). Lead them up carefully through the maze, thenthrow them up onto the high ledge so they can retrieve it.

Other Pikmin can also reach it with thehigh ledge trick. On top of that, floweredWhite Pikmin can slowly move up the ramp if ordered to do so with theswarming function; this will only work with a sufficiently large group.[1]

Notes

Olimar's journal

Staring at this symbol tantalizes my taste buds. I've never observed this before, but my sight and sense of taste appear to be connected. Perhaps this is some new kind of psychological advertising. I'll have to tell the ship about it!

Sales pitch

This cryptic design contains a link between sight and taste that is unknown on Hocotate. According to the psychology of unknown shapes, gazing at this will let you taste the unknown.
