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.

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.

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.

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.

Another strategy is to use the Gatling Groink's projectiles to kill [[Fiery Blowhog]]s, [[Water Dumple]]s, and [[Wollyhop]]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.

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 [[Wollyhop]]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 Wollyhops 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.
There is an [[Antenna Beetle]] in this level, messing with the treasure gauge. There are also [[Wollywog]]s, [[Orange Bulborb]]s, gas pipes, and falling rocks. If an enemy is near a gas pipe, ignore the pipe and continue. Once all the gas pipes are out of your way, you should lure any Wollywogs that were near gas pipes away, and pelt them with [[Purple Pikmin]]. Once these die, use Whites to take down the remaining pipe and use Purples 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.

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]].

Several small firefly-like insects (pictured right) appear in this sublevel, flying about. No information about them is known, however. They are coded to spawn specifically around the Titan Dweevil's spawn point.
