'''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==
----
* '''Theme''': Soil
* '''Music''': ''[[Music in Pikmin 2#Toy|Toy]]''
* '''Time''': 50 (100 seconds)
* '''Starting Pikmin''':
** {{icon|Red Pikmin|v=P2|y}} × 5 (flower)
** {{icon|White Pikmin|v=P2|y}} × 5 (flower)
* '''Treasures''':
** {{icon|Regal Diamond|y}} × 1 (fully buried)
** {{icon|The Key|y}} × 1 (inside Doodlebug)
* '''Enemies''':
** {{icon|Doodlebug|y}} × 1
* '''Obstacles''':
** None
* '''Vegetation''':
** None
* '''Others''':
** None


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.
Pikmin: 5 [[Red Pikmin|Red]], 5 [[White Pikmin|White]]

A [[Watery Blowhog]]. Kill it quickly, grab The Key, and off to the hole.
The [[Doodlebug]] is hidden in the middle of the level; it may be poisonous, but it's very easy to beat. As soon as it's hit on the top, it'll disappear. Grab the key and hurry to the next level. There isn't much 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.

An [[Anode Dweevil]]. Only use you're Captains as matters of attacking.

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.

{{cavegen|cc4}}
A [[Fiery Bulblax ]]. Don't worry. Take you're 5 Red and use both kind of sprays, or else you are almost guaranteed to lose Pikmin. You will make it ''just'' before the Bulblax turns normal. If not before, you're Whites should have started digging something up after walking around the cave.

{{see also|Burrowing Snagret#Strategy|t1=Burrowing Snagret strategy}}


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.
Alright... a [[Burrowing Snagret]] vs. not 2, not 7, but 10 Pikmin. Use all the sprays you have left. 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.
