A visual guide

This cave is found at the foot of the large sand castle. Directly across from the Water's Edge base, there is a ramp that provides easy access to the entrance on the right (even during high tide, there is no water surrounding the ramp). From The Sand Keep base, the entrance can be found at the end of the bottom road populated withArmored Cannon Larva. Alternatively,Oatchi can jump over the sand castle's walls, allowing for an easy shortcut to the foot of the structure.

Sublevel 1[edit]

Map of sublevel 1.

• Treasures:
  •  False Lollipop × 1 (pulled out of the ground by a fishing rope)
  •  Gold Nugget × 15
  •  Maestro of Flavor × 2
  •  Maternal Sculpture × 1
  •  Sunseed Berry × 1
• Enemies:
  •  Fiery Blowhog × 2
  •  Lesser Spotted Jellyfloat × 3
• Obstacles:
  •  Dirt wall × 1
  •  Hydro jelly × 1
  •  Iron fence × 1
  •  Sprinkler × 2
  •  Water spout × 2
• Tools:
  •  Clay valve × 1 (requires 12 pieces of raw material) (turns off both sprinklers)
  •  Fishing rope × 1
  •  Geyser × 1
• Wild Pikmin:
  •  Blue Pikmin × 5 (Sprouts)
  •  Blue Pikmin × 5 (inside Lesser Spotted Jellyfloat)
  •  Ice Pikmin × 5 (Sprouts)
• Others:
  •  Flarlic × 1 (inside hydro jelly)

The first thing you'll notice about this cave is the excessive amounts of water, so keeping your Blue Pikmin alive will be a must. The first thing you should do is sendOatchi with a squad of Blue Pikmin to get theSunseed Berry (it's in the area past the small step) as there are no enemies over there, and the Blue Pikmin will allow you to transport it without turning off the sprinklers. After that, take a stroll down the beach to pluck someIce Pikmin and deal with the twoLesser Spotted Jellyfloats. There are two water geysers, fifteenGold Nuggets, and a path up to a building spot in this area. But taking out the Jellyfloats first would be a good idea as they'll just get in the way. If you're having trouble with these enemies, remember that freezing an airborne Jellyfloat causes it to die instantly upon hitting the ground, and doing this with the second one will cause no harm to come to the Blue Pikmin it's holding. For the nuggets, once again Blue Pikmin can transport them without having to worry about the water. Use five Blue Pikmin to fish theFalse Lollipop out of the river, and head for the sponge on the right to find twoMaestros of Flavor guarded by twoFiery Blowhogs. WithoutRed Pikmin, dealing with these twins can get really annoying if they're too close together. Wait until they're separated and use Oatchi'sCharge to attack the first one while the other is none the wiser. Once you're done over here, head up the hill to get theMaternal Sculpture down from the ceiling. To transport it, use seven Blue Pikmin or freeze the middle lake using Ice Pikmin if you have enough. Use twelveraw materials to build the valve and turn off the sprinklers to make things easier. The passage to the next sublevel is behind an iron fence only the Recruit can pass through. Use them to take care of the Jellyfloat and knock down the Dirt Wall so Oatchi can join you. Once all the enemies are defeated, you should be able to finish up here with ease. Grab theFlarlic by freezing thehydro jelly with Ice Pikmin, and pluck the five Blue Pikmin on the island hidden behind said Jelly.

See also:Masterhop strategy.

There's aMasterhop as a boss on a sandy floor. A good trick is to either freeze the water, or to freeze the Masterhop while it's in the air. Unlike most final sublevels, thecastaway can be obtained without fighting the boss. To do this, you'll probably need to bring 10Yellow Pikmin, have them rideOatchi, throw them onto thefishing rope, then rush into the wall.
