Advice: TheRookie Rescue Officer must take the Ice Pikmin before exploring and defrost the cold air whileOatchi look after the other Pikmin, because this sublevel has iron fences which lowered later by the button

Defrost the air: You'll find the firstice block right near the start but there will be astalactite falling in frost so you must destroy them. Next right through the tunnel with the frozen water you'll find another stalactite falling, make sure you destroy it so it would distract your Pikmin. Then go through aniron fence and there's a small room with anArctic Cannon Larva which must be defeated and 5 buried Ice Pikmin, and there's another room with another Arctic Cannon Larva which also need to be defeated and another ice block inside a frozenhydro jelly. Finally there's another iron fence you could go through then you'll find on a frozen body of water with 3Puckering Blinnows which you don't have to defeat yet, there's another iron fence and another ice block to destroy, make sure let you or your Ice or Blue Pikmin press the button to lower the iron fences, destroy stalactite, and move thebox.

Exploring: First put some Pikmin inside the whiteCandypop Bud then defeat the 3 Puckering Blinnows if you want to transport the objects you can freeze the bodies of water with Ice Pikmin if you transport the objects quicker. Both treasures, the pile of raw material, and the castaway is in the same large room with one of the Arctic Cannon Larvae theTrue Goo is inside the other hydro jelly, but make sure destroypoison emitter to transport it. TheMemory Fragment (Left Edge) and the castaway is in another body of water. Warning there's anIceblown Dweevil falling from the sky and it might take the object so you defeat it first so it'll quit stopping the transportation.

Next sublevel: To get to the next sublevel must freeze the water where Puckering Blinnows were, with 10 Ice Pikmin or anIce Blast then jump to the upper platform with Oatchi to reach it.

See also:Arctic Cannon Beetle strategy.

You must defrost the air first so you fight the boss of the cave: theArctic Cannon Beetle. There are 5 Ice Pikmin in a blob ofhydro jelly and 5 more in another one near the arena. The Arctic Cannon Beetle will drop the castaway after it's defeat and theContemplation Station is behind thenumbered gate and the cave exit is cover with a blob of hydro jelly.

First of all, try to destroy theice blocks before waking up the giantLithopod. Then, go to where thehydro jelly is and collect theIce Pikmin. Then, fight theArctic Cannon Beetle. To do it, just put you in front of him, and escape a bit before it inhales. From there, attack its backside. The strategy should work, and, finally, collect theCastaway and theContemplation Station. Then, exit the cave. You also can bring theBeetle's body to gain extra 30 Sparklium.
