It is considered the game's final cave, due to it having a staggering twenty sublevels (the most of any cave) as well as containing the game's final [[boss]]. It also features encounters with previous bosses, such as the [[Gildemander]] and features new encounters as well, such as the [[Toxstool]] (who is exclusive to the cave). This cave has {{sparklium|p4|2,935}} worth of treasure. | ||

For the first time in 22 years, it's time for the Snagret triple threat. It is recommended to try and bait out and defeat each [[Burrowing Snagret]] individually.

The [[Smoky Progg]] is significantly easier than how it was in {{P1}}, but can still cause mass Pikmin casualties if the player is unprepared. A good strategy is to use Oatchi's [[rush]] skill to send all of your Pikmin onto it, defeating it quickly. Just be sure to jump to avoid the shockwaves produced by its projectiles, and whistle after it shakes off your Pikmin to ensure they don't panic directly into the path of its [[ | The [[Smoky Progg]] is significantly easier than how it was in {{P1}}, but can still cause mass Pikmin casualties if the player is unprepared.

Just be sure to jump to avoid the shockwaves produced by its projectiles, and whistle after it shakes off your Pikmin to ensure they don't panic directly into the path of its [[gloom]] or into the swamp surrounding its arena. However, with an [[ultra-spicy spray]], the [[Rush Boots]], and tight movement, you can destroy the egg by simply rushing into it before it gets to hatch.{{cite youtube|_oROvjbABxg|of the Smoky Progg's egg being destroyed before it hatches|published={{date|21|August|2023}}|retrieved={{date|24|August|2023}}}} | ||

[[Louie]] appears once again on this sublevel, only to run off. It's a good idea to lure the [[Bloomcap Bloyster]]s out of any water in the cave, so you can deal with them with a whole squad. If you still have [[Ice Pikmin]], use them to freeze the water so the Bloysters crawl over it, making them easier to kill. The Bloysters can eat the treasures they come across in this sublevel, so be sure to you grab the treasure they may spit out. | [[Louie]] appears once again on this sublevel, only to run off.

The Empress Bulblax on this sublevel occupies a small chamber which, unlike any other encounter with it, means that there is no single place to stand to avoid its rolling attack. Instead, there are two [[geyser]]s which shoot you to the opposite sides of the arena and a small passage in the back. The intended method is to use these to jump over the top of the boss or to slip behind it before making your way back to the arena, but it is far easier to use six or so [[bomb rock]]s and finish the job before it can even attack. Don't [[rush]] with Oatchi as that triggers its roll attack immediately. Alternatively, [[Rock Pikmin]] can be used for their immunity to being crushed against the soft floor of the sublevel. Be careful though as other Pikmin can be crushed by its rolling attack as well as the boulders that spawn after it hits the wall. Rock Pikmin can also be eaten by the Bulborb larva that fall | The Empress Bulblax on this sublevel occupies a small chamber which, unlike any other encounter with it, means that there is no single place to stand to avoid its rolling attack.
