The '''Forged Courage''' is a treasure found in ''[[Pikmin 2]]''. It is actually the top half of a [[Wikipedia:Robot|red toy robot]] with guns for arms, similar to the [[Justice Alloy]]. It is found on the last [[sublevel]] (7) of the [[Bulblax Kingdom]], inside the body of the [[Emperor Bulblax]], the [[cave|cave's]] boss. To defeat this enemy, it is advised to [[throw]] multiple [[Purple Pikmin]] onto its eyes while still submerged. Collecting this item grants the ability of the [[Scorch Guard]], part of the [[Exploration Kit]].

The Scorch Guard is an armor upgrade that makes all [[captain|pilots']] suits impervious to [[Hazards#Fire|fire]]. This way, there is no need to worry about being hurt when destroying fire [[geyser]]s, or fighting enemies such as the [[Fiery Blowhog]] or [[Fiery Bulblax]].

===Pikmin 3===

The Scorch guard returns in [[Pikmin 3]], along with the [[Dream Material|Anti-Electrifier]] and [[Justice Alloy|Metal Suit Z]]. Its function to the same in [[Pikmin 2]], to protect the [[Leader|user]] from [[Hazard#fire|fire]] and [[Fiery Blowhog|fire based attacks]]. It also let's you attack enemies with a [[Pyroclasmic Slooch|fiery defense]]. It's found in [[Twilight River]] buried on a ledge near the path leading to the [[Burrowing Snagret]] (the only one in story mode). The exploration note area hint 7 says that [[Captain Olimar]] doesn't need it anymore so he buried it so that someone could get as much use out of it as he did. He even left an instruction manual in it (which tells you it's function). All 3 suits are said to be sold on [[Koppai]]. In [[Mission Mode]]'s battle bosses you don't have any of the suits. To prove it, face the [[Plasm Wraith|6th boss]] and run into the combustion plasm.

==== Area Hint 7====

I consider myself to be a [[Pikmin 2|hardened veteran]] of [[Pikmin (game)|planetary exploration]] now. With so many [[Enemies|battles]] under my spacebelt, I no longer have need for this little item. I've since buried it nearby. Hopefully someone will be able to get use out of it.
