'''Emergence Cave''' is the first [[cave]] the player comes upon in ''[[Pikmin 2]]'', and is by far the easiest. It acts as the game's tutorial for caves, featuring a simple layout in each [[sublevel]] and no particularly harmful [[enemy|enemies]] or [[boss]]es. [[Purple Pikmin]] are first encountered here, which are needed to collect a [[Spherical Atlas|certain treasure]] to progress to the next area. In this cave, there are 480 [[Poko]]s worth of treasures.
'''Emergence Cave''' ({{j|始まりの洞窟|Hajimari no Dōkutsu|Cave of Beginning}}) is a [[cave]] in the [[Valley of Repose]] in {{p2}}, and is the first cave in the game, serving as a tutorial for how caves work. It features a simple layout in each sublevel and no particularly dangerous [[enemy|enemies]] or [[boss]]es, making it the easiest cave in the game. [[Purple Pikmin]] are first encountered here, which are needed to collect the [[Spherical Atlas]] to progress to the next area. In this cave, there are {{pokos|480}} worth of treasures.


==How to reach==
This cave is beyond the large field where a [[Red Bulborb]] lies. After the player destroys the white gate, the cave will be easily found.

The Emergence Cave can be reached by progressing past both [[bag]]s and the white bramble [[gate]] near the landing site. It is hard to miss once the white gate is destroyed, and it is impossible to go beyond the cave without discovering [[Blue Pikmin]] first. You should bring all the Pikmin you have at this point (which is usually 70 [[Red Pikmin]] at most).

The first sublevel of this cave has two treasures, which are guarded by four Snow Bulborbs; these are easily killed by [[Group move|swarming]] or [[throw]]ing Pikmin on their backs. Once defeated, the [[Citrus Lump]] and [[Quenching Emblem]] can be carried to the [[Research Pod]]. Bringing defeated enemies back will trigger a [[cutscene]] the first time a corpse is picked up by the Pod, though this can happen in whatever sublevel this first occurs in.

Upon entering the sublevel, defeat the Snow Bulborbs and progress down the corridor, as the treasure nearby can't be collected yet. At the end, in a spherical room, there are two [[Violet Candypop Buds]]. Throwing five Red Pikmin into each flower will produce 10 Pikmin seeds; when [[pluck]]ed, these will be the very first [[Purple Pikmin]] in the game. The [[Spherical Atlas]] at the start of the sublevel can now be brought back to the Ship's Pod, which will unlock the [[Sphere Chart]], an item allowing the player to travel to the [[Awakening Wood]].
 
Leaving the cave after collecting the treasure will end the day. It is possible to obtain more than 10 Purple Pikmin on this day by leaving the cave without collecting the treasure, and then returning to it. Because the Candypop Buds disappear only after the player has obtained 20 Purples, three trips of 10, 9 and 10 make the maximum 29 from this cave. This allows the player to get [[White Pikmin]] earlier on in the Awakening Wood, without having to obtain the Purple Pikmin from [[Hole of Beasts]], as a total Pikmin weight of 200 is needed to squash the [[bag]].

The globe half should be ignored, and the Snow Bulborbs along the way should be defeated instead. At the end, in a spherical room, there are two [[Violet Candypop Buds]].

==Emergence Cave run==
Given that enemies respawn every time a cave is entered, and that enemies are worth a few Pokos, a player can finish the debt using nothing but the Emergence Cave. This challenge usually requires that the player gets no money from sources outside of the Emergence Cave, except for the mandatory [[Courage Reactor]]. A sub-version of the challenge would be to not unlock any other area, so, in effect, not getting the [[Spherical Atlas]].


==Emergence Cave challenge==
With some research, it's estimated that a fast player could repay the debt using this method in just 16 in-game days, taking 22 real time hours to do so.<ref>[[User:Espyo/Emergence_Cave_run|The experiment]] conducted by [[User:Espyo|Espyo]], where times were measured, and a final estimated time was calculated.</ref>
{{main|Challenge run#Emergence Cave challenge}}
Given that enemies respawn every time a cave is entered, and that their corpses are worth a few Pokos, a player can finish the debt using nothing but the Emergence Cave. This challenge usually requires that the player gets no money from sources outside of the Emergence Cave's corpses. This takes several in-game days and many visits to the cave, as the player can only get {{pokos|22}} from the 11 Snowy Bulborbs each time they enter the cave.
