The '''Bulblax Kingdom''' is the the third cave [[Olimar]] and [[Louie]] enters in the [[Awakening Wood]] in ''[[Pikmin 2]]''. To get to the cave's entrance, which is noticeably high up, Olimar and Louie can either drain the lake and destroy the white wooden wall near your landing site, or go though the area they first destroyed the black wooden gate and battle the two [[Cloaking Burrow-nit]]s and then use the sea-saw platforms to reach the land area where the [[Chance Totem]] is/was. It is also near the location of the [[Ultra-bitter Spray|Ultra bitter Berry]] producing  [[Burgeoning Spiderwort]]. After finding this area, Olimar must use fifty [[Yellow Pikmin]] and have them destroy the electrical gate, which is located on an area reachable by the usage of a passage that leads upward. After that, Olimar and Louie are recommended to switch out most of their Yellow Pikmin for [[Red Pikmin|reds]], [[Purple Pikmin|purples]], and [[White Pikmin|whites]] and bring them into the cave. Even though it says fire and electricity are hazards, there is actually a body of water on the last sublevel of the cave. However, Olimar and Louie doesn't need [[Blue Pikmin]] for that part. In this cave, there are 1240 Pokos worth of treasures.
The '''Bulblax Kingdom''' ({{j|デメマダラの王国|Dememadara no Ōkoku|Kingdom of Dememadara}}) is a [[cave]] in the [[Awakening Wood]] in {{p2}}, and is typically the third cave entered in the area. The name refers to the cave's [[boss]], the [[Emperor Bulblax]]. Various other [[Grub-dog family|grub-dog]] enemies appear in the cave, as well as other enemy families. In this cave, there are {{pokos|1240}} worth of treasures.


==How to reach==
==Treasures==
{{location map | width = 242 | height = 334 | image = AW texture.png | bg = #111 | caption = Location of the cave. | icons =
*[[Crystal Clover]]
{{map icon | cave | 160 | 155}}
*[[Tear Stone]]
}}
*[[Olimarnite Shell]]
 
*[[Crystal King]]
There are two methods of reaching the Bulblax Kingdom. Either can be used for equivalent success.
*[[Unknown Merit]]
*Beyond the [[White Flower Garden]] is a poison gate. Destroying it reveals a pair of [[Seesaw block|scales]] that may be used to reach the ledge where the [[Chance Totem]] is found. From here, a squad of [[Yellow Pikmin]] can be used to reach the [[Gate#Electric gate|electric gate]] guarding the cave.
*[[Anxious Sprout]]
*If [[Blue Pikmin]] have been discovered, they can be used to destroy the [[clog]] near the landing site, revealing a regular gate that can be destroyed to allow both leaders and all Pikmin to reach the ledge and get to the electric gate.
*[[Colossal Fossil]]
*[[Eternal Emerald Eye]]
*[[Forged Courage]]
*[[Gyroid Bust]]


Although there is water to be found in this cave, Blue Pikmin are not required to collect any treasure, and water hazards are not indicated in the cave's preview window. Thus, it is optimal to exclude Blue Pikmin entirely; [[Purple Pikmin]] should be brought in great numbers to defeat the [[Emperor Bulblax]] and various [[Orange Bulborb]]s, and a considerable amount of [[Red Pikmin|Red]] and Yellow Pikmin should be present to deal with their respective hazards as well as to make use of the Candypop Buds. Keep in mind that enough Red Pikmin to carry the [[Gyroid Bust]] should be on hand, as it is surrounded in [[Hazard generator#Fire Geyser|fire geysers]].
==Enemies==
*[[Anode Beetle]]
*[[Dwarf Orange Bulborb]]
*[[Female Sheargrub]]
*[[Fiery Dweevil]]
*[[Honeywisp]]
*[[Iridescent Glint Beetle]]
*[[Mitite]]
*[[Orange Bulborb]]
*[[Withering Blowhog]]

* '''Theme''': Soil
This first sublevel should be rather easy, especially with plenty of [[Purple Pikmin]]. Olimar and Louie must find the [[Orange Bulborb]] that possesses the [[Crystal Clover]], making sure they deal with the smaller [[Dwarf Orange Bulborb|Dwarfs]] when needed. There is always one of the two Orange Bulborbs in an alcove near the ship's pod's site, but its back faces the wall, so Olimar and Louie needs to be very cautious and defeat it very quickly with their Purple Pikmin if ''it'' has the treasure. There is also a [[Crimson Candypop Bud]] that Olimar and Louie may use.

This first sublevel should be rather easy, as long as a sufficient amount of [[Purple Pikmin]] are present. Find the [[Orange Bulborb]] that possesses the [[Crystal Clover]], making sure the smaller [[Dwarf Orange Bulborb|Dwarfs]] are dealt with when needed. There is always one of the two Orange Bulborbs in an alcove near the ship's pod's site, but its back often faces the wall, so it is advisable take caution and defeat it quickly with Purple Pikmin if it has the treasure.
 
Deal with the remaining Bulborbs if the need arises. There is also a [[Crimson Candypop Bud]] available, but its use is not recommended, as it is wise to conserve your [[Yellow Pikmin]] for sublevel 4, Purple and [[White Pikmin]] should not be used for Candypop Buds of other types due to their scarcity, and [[Blue Pikmin]] should not be brought along in the first place.

* '''Theme''': Soil
This next sublevel isn't as hard as the previous. There are two [[Fiery Dweevil]]s that can be easily taken out by a group of [[Purple Pikmin]]. If they catch fire, Olimar and Louie must call them and destroy the geysers with their [[Red Pikmin]] and throw them up onto the ledge that holds the [[Tear Stone]]. After they retrieve the treasure, tehy can move on to the next sublevel.

The second sublevel isn't very hard at all. There are two [[Fiery Dweevil]]s that can be easily taken out by a group of [[Purple Pikmin]]. Make sure to [[whistle]] any Pikmin that catch on fire. Then you should destroy the geysers with your [[Red Pikmin]] and [[throw]] the Pikmin up onto the ledge that holds the [[Tear Stone]]. After retrieving the treasure, find the hole to enter the next sublevel.
===Sublevel 3===

{{cavegen|bk2}}
This next sublevel is a little more hard than the previous, but still simple. There are three [[Withering Blowhog]]s that tries to deflower all of Olimar and Louie's Pikmin, but if they keep their distance and throw [[Purple Pikmin]], they can weigh them down immediately, and can swarm them with more Pikmin, or smash them with more purples. There are a significant number of [[Female Sheargrub]]s that gets in Olimar and Louie's way, but there are no males, so these are a negligible threat. The [[Olimarnite Shell]] is buried completely underground. If Olimar and Louie haven't brought any [[White Pikmin]] to this cave, or just want more, there is an [[Ivory Candypop Bud]] in one of the abnormally shaped alcoves. There is one [[egg]] for them to use if they have many of their Pikmin deflowered, but can get more [[nectar]] in later sublevels. After a short while, Olimar and Louie may move on to the next sub-level.

===Sublevel 4===
This cave is more tricky than the earlier ones, due to it being jam-packed with electrical nodes and [[Anode Beetle]]s, and requires Olimar and Louie to engage in close quarters combat. There is also a [[Wollywog]]. Olimar and Louie must get two treasures, the [[Unknown Merit]], and the [[Crystal King]]. The Unknown Merit is held by the Wollywog that falls from the sky, and Olimar and Louie must be careful of them. The Crystal King is held by an [[Iridescent Glint Beetle]]. First, Olimar and Louie must take out their [[Yellow Pikmin]] and have them destroy the electrical nodes, and have their [[Purple Pikmin]] flip over and defeat all of the Anode Beetles. If Olimar and Louie haven't spotted either treasure-bearing enemy, they must use the [[Treasure Gauge]] to scout them out. When Olimar and Louie see the Iridescent Glint Beetle, they must throw a Purple Pikmin on it to topple it over and make it drop the treasure. If Olimar and Louie to get its treasure, it burrows back underground, and reappears somewhere else in the cave. Afterwards, Olimar and Louie must look for the Wollywog. Once it lands on the ground, Olimar and Louie must get out of its view and throw Purple Pikmin onto its head. Once Olimar and Louie are finished, they can transform ten of their Pikmin into Purple Pikmin with the two [[Violet Candypop Bud]]s located in the alcoves of the cave. If they don't appear, Olimar and Louie must re-enter the sublevel and see if they then appear. Remember, you're going to need many Purple Pikmin in the future, and more urgently, for the boss. There are also two [[Common Glowcap]]s that each hide a [[Honeywisp]]. They are especially useful if many of Olimar and Louie's Pikmin are deflowered on the previous sublevel. If they return here, the Iridescent Glint Beetle still appears, but Olimar and Louie do not have a radar to find it and it doesn't reappear until Olimar and Louie get its [[nectar]] and [[spray]]s.


==Sublevel 3==
===Sublevel 5===
[[File:P2 Bulblax Kingdom Sublevel 3 Map.jpg|thumb|This is the layout for the third sublevel of the Bulblax Kingdom. The layout should usually stay the same; the alcove with the [[Ivory Candypop Bud]] may be attached to a different section of the map.]]
This part of the cave starts getting dark later on, unless Olimar and Louie have the [[Solar System]]. This cave's pathways start to make diagonal and other strange paths. In here, there is a small spiny shaped treasure peeking from the ground, which is the [[Anxious Sprout]]. It is partially buried in the ground. To get it, Olimar and Louie must navigate the area carefully, defeat an [[Orange Bulborb]] and some of the [[Dwarf Orange Bulborb|Dwarfs]] along the way. [[Bomb Rock]]s are prone to fall here, along with two [[egg]]s. There are several dead ends however. After Olimar and Louie salvage the Anxious Sprout, they can move onto the next sublevel.


* '''Theme''': Soil
===Sublevel 6===
* '''Music''': ''[[Music in Pikmin 2#Soil 3|Soil 3 (alternate)]]''
Possibly the largest and most enemy filled area in this cave, it is loaded with many critters, including [[Fiery Dweevil]]s, [[Orange Bulborb]]s, and [[Dwarf Orange Bulborb]]s. The [[Colossal Fossil]] is located in one of the alcoves of this cave along with a falling Bomb Rock. The [[Eternal Emerald Eye]] is held by one of the Orange Bulborbs. Lead in with a pack of [[Purple Pikmin]] and vanquish every creature. Be noted that in one of the alcoves, a swarm of [[Mitite]]s appear, where [[Bomb Rock]]s may fall. If that happens, Olimar and Louie must wait for the bomb may detonate. It may kill the Mitites for you. Afterwards, the player may want to use the [[Violet Candypop Bud]] and the two [[Crimson Candypop Bud]]s. After the reconnaissance, Olimar and Louie may move on to the last sublevel of this cave.

This next sublevel is a little more difficult, but still simple. There are three [[Withering Blowhog]]s that will try to deflower all of your Pikmin, but if you keep your distance and throw [[Purple Pikmin]], you'll weigh them down immediately, and then you can [[swarm]] them with more Pikmin, or pound them with more purples.
===Sublevel 7 (Final Floor)===
[[Image:BKsub7.JPG|thumb|right|This is the layout for the last sublevel of the Bulblax Kingdom. The way the land is distributed and always stays the same.]]


There are a significant number of [[Female Sheargrub]]s that will get in your way, but there are no [[Male Sheargrub]]s, so these are a negligible threat. The [[Olimarnite Shell]] will be buried completely underground, and if you haven't brought any [[White Pikmin]] to this cave, or just want more, there is an [[Ivory Candypop Bud]] in one of the abnormally shaped alcoves. There is one [[egg]] to use if many of your Pikmin got deflowered, but you can get more [[nectar]] in later sublevels. After the sublevel has been scavenged, move on.
'''BOSS: [[Emperor Bulblax]]'''


{{cavegen|bk3}}
A very familiar foe resides in the bowels of this cave, the Emperor Bulblax. If the player has trouble with this enemy in [[Pikmin (game)|Pikmin 1]]. Also, there is an easy way to defeat it. First, have some Pikmin dispose of the three fire geysers in your way. Then, Olimar and Louie must grab all of their [[Purple Pikmin]] and aim between the creature's protruding eyes and let loose as many Purple Pikmin as possible. The Pikmin batters the creature hard that when it emerges, it dies before it has the chance to attack. If not, it should have a little amount of health left, so that Olimar and Louie can just throw them onto its back to stun it and then finish it off. If Olimar and Louie brought twenty-five Purple Pikmin, they must have fifteen more from the [[Violet Candypop Bud]]s in the cave, that they should have thirty-five-forty. Once Olimar and Louie defeat it, the beast releases the [[Forged Courage]], an item that grants Olimar and Louie the [[Scorch Guard]], an armor making their pilots' suits to be impervious to fire. Afterwards, Olimar and Louie must destroy the wooden gate in their way. Olimar and Louie must use their new item and go to either side and throw their [[Red Pikmin]] up on the ledge. Then, they must lead their pilot up the narrow strip of land rising up that is dotted with fire geysers. Olimar and Louie must call the Pikmin they tossed up, and have them start carrying this sublevel's other treasure, the [[Gyroid Bust]]. After Olimar and Louie get the final piece in this cave, they must exit via the geyser.

This sublevel is a lot harder than the earlier ones because it is jam-packed with electrical wires and [[Anode Beetle]]s, and requires you to engage in close-range combat. There is also a [[Wollyhop]]. The goal is to collect the two treasures, the [[Unknown Merit]] and [[Crystal King]]. The Unknown Merit is held by the Wollyhop that will fall from the sky, so be cautious when moving. The Crystal King is held by an [[Iridescent Glint Beetle]].
 
First you will want to take your [[Yellow Pikmin]] and have them destroy the electrical wires, then have your [[Purple Pikmin]] flip over and defeat all of the Anode Beetles. If you haven't spotted either treasure-bearing enemy, use the [[Treasure Gauge]] to scout them out. When you see the Iridescent Glint Beetle, throw a Purple Pikmin on or near it to topple it over and make it drop the treasure. If you don't get its treasure and it burrows back into the ground, it will reappear somewhere else in the sublevel.
 
After you get that, look for the Wollyhop. Once it lands on the ground, get out of its view (so it won't jump) and throw purples onto its head. Once you are finished, you may transform 10 of your Pikmin into Purple Pikmin with the two [[Violet Candypop Bud]]s located in the alcoves of the cave, though one or both might not appear through no fault of the player, as detailed [[Pikmin 2 cave generation|here]] and [[Mistake#Missing sublevel objects|here]]. If this happens, you may want to reset the console to restart the sublevel, and see if they will appear then. Remember, you're going to need many Purple Pikmin in the future, and more urgently, for the boss.
 
There are also two [[Common Glowcap]]s that each hide a [[Honeywisp]]. They are especially useful to you if many of your Pikmin were deflowered on the third sublevel. If you return here, the Iridescent Glint Beetle will still appear, but you won't have a radar to find it and it won't appear again if you miss the chance to get its [[nectar]] and [[spray]]s.

This part of the cave will get extremely dark, unless you have the [[Solar System]]. This cave's pathways will start to make diagonal and other strange paths. In here, there is a small spiny shaped object peeking from the ground, which is the [[Anxious Sprout]], this area's only treasure. It is partially buried in the ground. To get it, you will have to navigate the area carefully, defeating an [[Orange Bulborb]] and [[Dwarf Orange Bulborb]]s along the way.
 
Be careful, [[bomb-rock]]s are prone to fall here, along with two [[egg]]s. There are several dead ends, but this sublevel is rather small, so it shouldn't take long. However, if you're not careful, your Pikmin could meet an untimely demise. To prevent this from happening, it is recommended to have a leader scout the area solo and let the bomb-rocks fall without any Pikmin nearby. After you collect the Anxious Sprout, you can move on.

This sublevel has more enemies than any other in this cave, including [[Fiery Dweevil]]s, [[Orange Bulborb]]s, and [[Dwarf Orange Bulborb]]s. The [[Colossal Fossil]] is located in one of the alcoves of this cave along with a falling bomb-rock, so send a leader in first to activate the bomb while no Pikmin are nearby.
 
The [[Eternal Emerald Eye]] is held by one of the Orange Bulborbs. Lead in with a pack of [[Purple Pikmin]] and defeat every enemy. Be noted that in one of the alcoves, a swarm of [[Mitite]]s will appear from the ground, but be careful; a [[bomb-rock]] may fall in the same area. If that happens, wait for the bomb to detonate, as it might kill the Mitites for you. After you take care of everything, you might want to use the [[Violet Candypop Bud]] and the two [[Crimson Candypop Bud]]s. Note that due to how sublevels are generated, the Violet Candypop Bud may not show up, as detailed [[Pikmin 2 cave generation|here]] and [[Mistake#Missing sublevel objects|here]]. After your reconnaissance, move on to the last sublevel of this cave.

The Emperor Bulblax, the final boss of the [[Pikmin (game)|first ''Pikmin'' game]], returns in this sublevel, though if you've played the first game, be aware that this boss is much, much easier in ''Pikmin 2''. Before fighting the boss, destroy the fire geysers in the way. Then, rapidly throw Purple Pikmin at the boss's protruding eyes in the ground, which should take out most of its health. If not already defeated, finish the battle using the strategy linked above. Once defeated, the boss will drop the [[Forged Courage]], an item that will grant you the [[Scorch Guard]], an [[armor]] making your leaders' suits impervious to fire.
 
After collecting the upgrade, destroy the gate on the far side of the boss arena to reveal a room where the upgrade will be used. Despite the presence of [[water]] in this room, Blue Pikmin are not required. Go to either side of the room and throw your [[Red Pikmin]] up on the ledge. Then lead your leader up the narrow strip of land rising up that is dotted with fire geysers. Now that you have the Scorch Guard, you needn't worry about trying to cleverly dodge when those geysers release fire. Call the Pikmin you tossed up, and have them start carrying this sublevel's other treasure, the [[Gyroid Bust]]. Don't worry, they won't carry it into the water. After you get the final treasure in this cave, exit via the geyser.
