==Summary and Location==
|location  = Wistful Wild
The '''Dream Den''' is the last cave in Pikmin 2, located in the [[Wistful Wild]] level. You should defeat all of the enemies in your way and then let your Blue Pikmin build a bridge across the lake. You have to take down a poison gate to get to the Dream Den. [[Louie]] and the [[Titan Dweevil]] will be found in the cave. Since the final battle is brutal, you won't have to fight miniboss battles through the cave. As a note, most or all types of caves show up in this cave.

The '''Dream Den''' ({{j|夢の穴|Yume no Ana|Hole of Dreams}}) is a [[cave]] in ''[[Pikmin 2]]'', found in the [[Wistful Wild]]. Because of its location, difficulty, and the fact that it contains what may be regarded as the game's final [[boss]], the [[Titan Dweevil]], it is often the last cave completed. The cave is the game's second longest, with 14 sublevels, and contains a variety of enemies in large quantities. The cave design is also relatively varied, with many previously encountered themes showing up here. In order, a garden sublevel is found at the top, followed by a toybox sublevel, with metal, concrete, soil, and finally tile sublevels appearing in groups of 3. There is a total of {{pokos|5965}} to be gained from the cave's treasures in the US [[Region|version]], {{pokos|5945}} in the European version, and {{pokos|5825}} in the Japanese version. There are no ways to obtain new or [[Candypop Bud|convert]] any existing Pikmin while inside the cave, so extra care should be taken.


{{spoiler section|
==Cave Information==
The final floor of the Dream Den is the location of [[Louie]]. He is found atop the game's final boss, the [[Titan Dweevil]], and is afterwards collected as a treasure and added to the [[Treasure Hoard]]. He does not replace the [[President]] after having been rescued, however.

*[[Armored Cannon Beetle Larva]]
There are two methods to reach this cave:
*[[Breadbug]]
 
*[[Bumbling Snitchbug]]
#One can bring Pikmin through the [[Hole of Heroes]] area, requiring [[Blue Pikmin]] to destroy a [[clog]] and [[Yellow Pikmin]] to destroy an electric gate, though the player will then be forced to fight the [[Creeping Chrysanthemum]]s and [[Withering Blowhog]]s directly below.
*[[Careening Dirigibug]]
#They may alternatively go left and build a [[bridge]] by bringing [[Blue Pikmin]] across a lake.
*[[Caustic Dweevil]]
 
*[[Cloaking Burrow-nit]]
Either way, the player must then destroy one of two [[Gate#Bramble gate|black poison gates]].
*[[Doodlebug]]
 
*[[Dwarf Bulbear]]
All Pikmin types should be brought along. If the player intends to fight the [[Titan Dweevil]] on the first run, bringing more [[Yellow Pikmin]] is recommended. Like the [[Hole of Heroes]], water is present in this cave, so sufficient [[Blue Pikmin]] are required as well.

The first level of the Dream Den harbors [[Dwarf Orange Bulborb]]s, two [[Hermit Crawmad]]s and two [[Lesser Spotted Jellyfloat]]s. There are also poisonous gas pipes.
*[[Wogpole]]
 
*[[Wollywog]]
The enemies near the starting area, especially Dwarf Orange Bulborbs that are blocking paths, should be removed. Defeat the Lesser Spotted Jellyfloats (which may be near the starting area as well) the usual way. They will digest one Pikmin every thirty seconds. Once the area is clear of any obstructive enemies and gas pipes, the [[Disguised Delicacy]] can be taken back. Use Pikmin to destroy the [[clog]] on the hole, allowing you to continue down to the next sublevel.

There is a [[Gatling Groink]] on a raised platform that will start to attack the player as soon as the sublevel begins. Hide the Pikmin behind the wall of blocks, send one of the leaders out to distract the Groink, and attack with your Pikmin. Alternately, beat up the [[Snow Bulborb]]s and [[Hairy Bulborb]] with the fists of a leader or let the Gatling Groink kill them with its projectiles.
 
To defeat the Groink, position a leader against the base of the platform it is standing on. With the other leader, take a group of [[Yellow Pikmin]], and while the Gatling Groink is distracted, walk up the slope and attack it from behind. The [[Manual Honer]], which was held by the Gatling Groink, and the [[Implement of Toil]], which is usually located somewhere close to the wall of blocks, are found on this level.

This sublevel is filled with falling bomb-rocks, electrical wires, poison emitters, and [[Dwarf Bulbear]]s. There are also some [[Careening Dirigibug]]s that [[throw]] bomb-rocks. Somewhere in the level, a [[Spotty Bulbear]] will fall from the sky. This creature contains a treasure.
 
Pikmin or the leaders can be used to kill it; the player can also trick the Bulbear into falling off into the [[Pit|abyss]] (as the Bulbear will always take the most direct path towards the leaders), by making the Bulbear walk towards the leaders with a gap in between; subsequently, it will fall into the pit. Its treasure, the [[Glee Spinner]], will drop right where the Spotty Bulbear was before it fell into the abyss.
 
Note that the bomb-rocks and Spotty Bulbear will only fall when Pikmin are near. In order to know beforehand where the Spotty Bulbear is, it is possible to follow the Dwarf Bulbears, since they will go to and idle next to the adult's spawning location.

This sublevel is filled with [[Armored Cannon Larva|Armored Cannon Beetle Larva]]e and [[Anode Beetle]]s. While the positions of the Armored Cannon Beetle Larvae are constant, the positions of Anode Beetles and poison emitters are variable. There are a few strategies you can use to safely get through this level. One is to simply [[dismiss]] the Pikmin and take a small group of [[Purple Pikmin|Purple]] and [[White Pikmin]] with one of the leaders. The purples are then used to kill the enemies and the White Pikmin to disable poison emitters on the way.
 
Another method is to dismiss all your Pikmin and just take one or both of your leaders out and try to trick the Armored Cannon Beetles into shooting the others of their own species and poison emitters. Once done with killing the Armored Cannon Beetle Larvae, the player can send in yellows and whites to kill Anode Beetles and disable poison emitters, respectively.
 
After the coast is clear, retrieve the [[Mirrored Element]] (you may want to follow your Pikmin back, just in case). Another, much faster and easier way, albeit more dangerous, is to bring fifteen White Pikmin and run through the level, ignoring everything, and get them to carry the treasure. The White Pikmin should be able to carry it back without any dying, as they carry treasures very fast.
 
It should be noted that when an Anode Beetle is near the edge, Pikmin may bounce off the edge when thrown onto it.

This sublevel is littered with fire hazards and also contains a Fiery Bulblax. There are also two Red Bulborbs, Fiery Blowhogs, and a Withering one as well. Red Pikmin can easily disable fire traps and defeat any Red Bulborbs, Fiery Blowhogs, or Withering Blowhogs.
 
When throwing Pikmin on a Fiery Blowhog, make sure it doesn't face the edge, or it could throw Pikmin into the [[Pit|abyss]]. The Fiery Bulblax can be killed with the same technique used on the Spotty Bulbear on sublevel 3. It will drop the [[Insect Condo]].

You start near an alcove. There are three, or two Armored Cannon Beetle Larvae, one [[Greater Spotted Jellyfloat]], and one [[Lesser Spotted Jellyfloat]]. Armored Cannon Beetles can be used to kill each other with rocks. The sinkhole will affect the path of the rocks.
 
Pikmin can be used to kill the Jellyfloats, but the larvae can also shoot them with the rocks. It works best with the Greater Spotted Jellyfloat, due to the fact that when it lands after sucking up a leader, it is an easy target for the Larvae. Remember to escape from the creature, or you will take damage.
 
After they are killed, grab the [[Future Orb]] the Greater Spotted Jellyfloat left behind, break down gates with Pikmin to get nectar eggs, and continue down the hole which may be inside a gate.

This is a very small level, but it contains several Bumbling Snitchbugs and Careening Dirigibugs, some of which may begin in your starting area. There are also two Puffy Blowhogs, one of which contains the [[Essence of Desire]]. When the treasure is collected and the coast is clear, the [[clog]] on the hole must be removed to continue downward.

This sublevel is filled with Dweevils of all types, as well as fire, electrical and poison hazards. There is also an [[Antenna Beetle]] which can easily be stunned by a Purple Pikmin and killed by [[Group move|swarming]].
 
There are two ways to kill the Dweevils and to reach the treasure. One is to dismiss the Pikmin and go out with one leader to kill them (this doesn't require much time with the [[Rocket Fist]] upgrade). The other is to go out with the entire army, using Purple Pikmin to kill the Dweevils (calling them back if they get into danger), and using [[Red Pikmin|Red]], [[Yellow Pikmin|Yellow]], and [[White Pikmin]] to disable hazards. If you can quickly call them back, your only real hazard is keeping them away from electrical wires and the shocks of the Anode Dweevil.
 
The [[Extreme Perspirator]] and the [[Possessed Squash]], which are anywhere above ground but usually in dead-ends, are found here.

Sublevel 9 is the only rest level in the Dream Den. Several underground beetles reside here: one [[Iridescent Flint Beetle]], one [[Iridescent Glint Beetle]], and two [[Doodlebug]]s. Use [[Purple Pikmin]] to flip them easily with the help of their area-effective throw, or [[White Pikmin]] on the Doodlebugs for the safest approach. The bugs will drop lots of [[nectar]] and sprays. There are no treasures here so just continue down when you're ready, or use the geyser if you're in need of it.

Ultra-bitter sprays are recommended here. Simply resetting the game and waiting for a better layout is a good tactic for this level if the enemy spawns are impractical, for instance, if an enemy spawns near the starting area.
 
With one leader and no Pikmin, go out and find a [[Gatling Groink]] as soon as possible. Beat it up with your fists, and make sure to periodically check on the Pikmin, because sometimes a [[Lesser Spotted Jellyfloat]] will come over to your starting platform and start eating them.
 
Another strategy is to use the Gatling Groink's projectiles to kill [[Fiery Blowhog]]s, [[Water Dumple]]s, and [[Wollywog]]s; however, this can take a long time, and enemies may have more than enough time to sneak up on your Pikmin. If you have a spare ultra-bitter spray, you can use it on the Gatling Groink when its health is three-fourths gone; if you can defeat it while it is frozen, you won't have to take the regenerating body back to the ship.
 
The lone treasure, the [[Talisman of Life]], is inside a Lesser Spotted Jellyfloat, usually far away from the starting area; [[Blue Pikmin]] might be necessary to reach it. However, if you don't have 15 blues, there is actually a trick you can use to get the treasure, as long as you have two Purple Pikmin.
 
To execute the trick, you must line up some dead enemy carcasses near land. Then, you want to get the Jellyfloat with the treasure as close to land as possible when it is defeated, so that when its treasure pops it, the carcasses beneath it make it bounce toward the land instead of away from it.{{cite youtube|7Gg3rysR6l4|showing the tenth sublevel of the Dream Den completed without Blue Pikmin}} Then take back any enemy carcasses you want, and continue down to the next level.

This sublevel has both [[Fiery Blowhog]]s and [[Watery Blowhog]]s, some [[Dwarf Bulbear]]s, poison emitters, [[Cloaking Burrow-Nit]]s, a [[Breadbug]], and a [[Bumbling Snitchbug]]. Electrical wires are also usually encountered in this level, sometimes placed in bizarre locations such as on top of a stump. Sometimes the Cloaking Burrow-Nit will be near the poison emitters, so it will be difficult to disable them without having Pikmin eaten.
 
The best way to clear this level is to take all of the Pikmin and eliminate one threat at a time. Both treasures, the [[Boss Stone]] and the [[Yellow Taste Tyrant]], can be anywhere above ground, but usually on a high ledge or in a dead-end. Use [[Yellow Pikmin]] to get it. Collect your spoils, break the [[clog]] on the hole, and go down.

There is an [[Antenna Beetle]] in this level, messing with the treasure gauge. There are also [[Wollywog]]s, [[Orange Bulborb]]s, poison emitters, and falling rocks. If an enemy is near a poison emitter, ignore it and continue. Once all the poison emitters are out of your way, you should lure any Wollywogs that were near them away, and attack them with [[Purple Pikmin]]. Once these die, use White Pikmin to take down the remaining obstacles and use Purple Pikmin to defeat all the enemies.
 
If you can defeat the Antenna Beetle, finding the underground treasure in this sublevel will be much easier. There is also a treasure inside one of the Orange Bulborbs, so unless an enemy is in your way, defeat the Antenna Beetle first so you can easily find the treasures. Once all the poison emitters and enemies in your path are cleared out, take back the [[Stringent Container]] which was inside the Orange Bulborb, and use your treasure gauge to find the underground treasure, the [[Universal Com]]. Look for the hole and jump down.

This level is small, but cramped with Bulborbs. There are two [[Orange Bulborb]]s, two [[Bulborb|Red Bulborb]]s, and two [[Hairy Bulborb]]s. Inside one of the Orange Bulborbs is a treasure. The treasure gauge can be used to find the Bulborb with the treasure. If that Bulborb is dangerously close to another Bulborb, an [[Ultra-bitter spray]] could be used on both creatures, followed by bombarded them with volleys of [[Purple Pikmin]].
 
The [[Hypnotic Platter]] will be dropped by the creature. Clear the way back, deliver the treasure and enter the final hole.

''Note: 30 or more Pikmin must be left in order to carry most of the treasures back to the ship; three [[Purple Pikmin]] will also suffice.''
 
This is the last sublevel in the cave, and home to the [[Titan Dweevil]]. The sublevel has a sink-like appearance with the boss in the center. Several small [[Titan Dweevil#Trivia|firefly-like insects]] appear in this sublevel. There is a geyser available on this level that can be used to return to the surface without fighting the boss. There are several strategies that suggest this. Returning with almost 100 [[Yellow Pikmin]] is a strategy commonly used for a speedy defeat. An in-depth guide on how to defeat the Titan Dweevil can be found in the link above. The treasures the Titan Dweevil drops are the [[Flare Cannon]], the [[Shock Therapist]], the [[Comedy Bomb]], the [[Monster Pump]] and the [[King of Bugs]].

==Trivia==
*The Dream Den is located where the first [[ship part]] of the [[S.S. Dolphin]], the [[Main Engine]], is found in ''[[Pikmin (game)|Pikmin]]''.
*The final floor's layout is commonly thought as being based on a [[GameCube]]. In fact, it is nothing more than a kitchen sink.
*The Official Nintendo Power game guide states that several early bosses return in this cave, like [[Man-at-Legs]], [[Empress Bulblax]], and many others. However, none of these bosses are found here. The [[Hole of Heroes]] on the other hand has most of the previous bosses.
*According to the name of the [[cave units|unit]] definition file, it is possible that [[#Sublevel 11|sublevel 11]] uses the same general layout as a cave that had been previously presented at E3. It is the only sublevel in the game in which this is the case.
*In sublevel 11, if an electrical wire spawns on top of the wooden structure, one of its ends will be on the structure while the other will be on the floor. The electric discharge between the two ends will still connect correctly.{{cite web|https://www.reddit.com/r/Pikmin/comments/d5emsh/how_do_the_electric_again/|How do the Electric Again?|reddit|published={{date|17|September|2019}}|retrieved={{date|17|September|2019}}}}
*Curiously, the music track ''[[Music in Pikmin 2#Flooded Stump|Flooded Stump]]'' is defined to play on the ninth sublevel. In practice, it is overridden by the rest sublevel theme. The same occurs in all sublevels of the [[Submerged Castle]] as well.
*This cave has more treasures than any other cave in ''Pikmin 2''.
