The '''Engulfed Castle''' is a [[cave]] in the [[Serene Shores]] in {{p4}}. It has five sublevels. Only Blue Pikmin can access its entrance, though [[hazards]] of all types appear. [[Glow Pikmin]] spawned from [[Glow Seeds]] or a suitably upgraded [[Oatchi]] can be utilized to clear otherwise dangerous hazards. Neither are strictly required however, as all the hazards can be destroyed or circumvented with just Blue Pikmin. The boss of this cave, the [[Waterwraith]], is unique in that they will drop from the celling after enough time has passed in any sublevel. It can instantly kill [[enemies]] and [[Pikmin]], and cannot be stopped without [[Purple Pikmin]]. Defeating the [[Waterwraith]] unlocks an exit leading to the top of an otherwise inaccessible hill.

This cave acts as an homage to &dash; and at times remaster of &dash; the [[Submerged Castle]] from {{p2}}, with some sublevels being nearly identical.

== How to reach ==

The entrance to Engulfed Castle is found in a flooded alcove beneath the clay bridge next to the Water's Edge base. No matter if it is past noon or not, the entrance will always be submerged in water, meaning only [[Blue Pikmin]] can enter and exit from here.

The exit can also be used to re-enter the cave. Because it is not submerged, any Pikmin type can enter or exit from here. It is found in the area behind the Water's Edge base, up from the paper bag that must be pushed down beforehand.

== Notes ==
=== Olimar's Voyage Log ===
{{transcript|Shortly into my explorations, a loud BANG echoed throughout the cave. My memory's been clouded from fear, but I do recall that '''there was nothing I could do with the Blue Pikmin''' I'd brought with me, and I ran away in desperation. The rest is a mystery...|block=y}}

== Trivia ==
* As said before, this cavern is very similar to the [[Submerged Castle]] from {{p2}}. Not only with the amount of sublevels or the use of the [[Waterwraith]], but also the type of enemies and their placements, the elemental focus of each sublevel, and even some layouts being almost identical to how they were presented in the former cave. However, since not all assets from ''Pikmin 2'' exist in {{p4}}, there are some notable differences.
**In sublevel 2, rather than a [[Bulbmin]] parent and its offspring, there is an adult [[Bulborb]] and several [[Albino Dwarf Bulborb]]. A [[Pearly Clamclamp]] also houses the treasure at the end of the pipe section.
**In sublevel 3, there are no [[Anode Beetle]]s. Instead, a Joustmite is added.
**In sublevel 4, instead of several [[Explosion|explosive]] obstacles and enemies, more poison enemies are added to aid in the "poison" hazard theme of the sublevel. [[Venom Dweevil]]s in particular hold [[bomb rock]]s atop their heads to possible reference the absent [[Volatile Dweevil]]s found in this level's original counterpart.
**All sublevels have safe zones marked by green floors where the [[Waterwraith]] can't reach.
**The original music that plays in [[Submerged Castle]] doesn't play at first, but fades in as the Waterwraith's arrival approaches. It doesn't play at all after the Waterwraith has been defeated, as it no longer shows up in the cave.
**After the [[Waterwraith]] is defeated, the player can unlock the cave's exit above ground, allowing them to enter the cave with other types. However, the Waterwraith itself will not spawn once it's defeated.
