'''Cryptic Cavern''' is the eleventh level in {{p2}}{{'s}} [[Challenge Mode (Pikmin 2)|Challenge Mode]]. There are 5 [[sublevel]]s, each with one [[enemy]] in the same basic layout.


==Sublevel 1==

* '''Music''': ''[[Music in Pikmin 2#Toy|Toy]]''
* '''Time''': 50 (100 seconds)
* '''Starting Pikmin''':

The [[Doodlebug]] is hidden in the middle of the second room; it may be poisonous, but is very easy to beat. As soon as it takes a hit from the top, it'll disappear. Grab [[The Key]] and hurry to the next level. If it re-hides before you get The Key, search around the middle of the level, particularly closer to the research pod; you should find it again.
WHAT?! There's nothing here!
Walk to the middle and you'll change you're mind. The [[Doodlebug]] may be poisonous , but he's very easy to beat. As soon as you've hit his top, he'll disappear. Grab the key and hurry to the next level. We don't have time to waste!

An [[Anode Dweevil]]. This can be defeated relatively easily with [[leader]]s, is hard to hit with [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]], and kills them instantly if it attacks, so attacking with leaders is often the safer option.

WOW! a [[Fiery Bulblax ]]! Don't worry. Take you're 5 (heheh) Red and use BOTH kind of sprays, or else you are guaranteed to loose Pikmin. You will make it JUST before the Bulblax turns normal. If you have a leaf Pikmin and the Bulblax turned to nectar now's you're chance to find out that sprays let Pikmin even drink faster! Yes, it does let them do everything twice as fast. If not before, you're whites should have started digging something up. Of to-

A [[Fiery Bulblax]]. Take the 5 [[Red Pikmin]] and use both kind of [[spray]]s, or else you are almost guaranteed to lose Pikmin. You will make it just before the Bulblax turns normal. After its defeat, advance to the last sublevel. There are no buried treasures to look for.
Alright... a [[Burrowing Snagret]] vs. not 2, not 7, but 10 Pikmin. use all the sprays you got. Always aim for the head, thats it's weakpoint. When it buries, wait for it to come up while it get's stuck so you have time to aim at the head (thats the reason why we had to collect time). When it's head is full of Pikmin, it won't attack. Should all Pikmin have survived, congrats! Another Pink Flower! A fun cave, especially  with 2-Player!

A [[Burrowing Snagret]] resides here in the last sublevel. Use all the sprays you have left. Always aim for the head, its weak point. When it buries itself in the ground, wait for it to get stuck on emerging, so you have time to aim at the head. When its head is being attacked by a number of Pikmin, the creature will stop attacking to retreat.
