The '''Merciless Extractor''' ({{j|搾取者の台座|Sakushu-sha no Daiza|Exploiter's Pedestal}}) is a [[treasure]] in {{p2}} and {{p4}}. It is actually a {{w|Juicer|manual fruit juicer}}. In the US [[Region|version]] of ''Pikmin 2'', it is found in one of the corners of the first sublevel of the [[Shower Room]], and the European version places it on sublevel 5. This treasure is absent from the Japanese version. In ''Pikmin 4'', it can be found in the [[Doppelgänger's Den]].

== Collecting the treasure in ''Pikmin 2'' ==
{{guide}}
This treasure is in the [[Shower Room]], though the sublevel depends on the version: sublevel 1 in the US version, and sublevel 5 in the European version. There may be electric wires, falling boulders, [[Wollyhop]]s, and [[Watery Blowhog]]s protecting the treasure.

== Collecting the treasure in ''Pikmin 4'' ==
{{guide}}
The Merciless Extractor is behind a corner near the northwest of sublevel 1 of the [[Doppelgänger's Den]]. It is inside of a [[hydro jelly]], and is near a [[bubble geyser]], which should be destroyed before attempting to transport it. The path the Pikmin will take back depends on which obstacles exist. To ensure the safest retrieval, kill the [[Skeeterskate]]s in the nearby pond, destroy the hydro jelly on the southern corridor of the pool room, and open the [[ice wall]] north of the [[base]]. To collect this treasure, you must throw 7 Pikmin at it.

=== Olimar's journal (Nintendo Switch) ===
{{transcript|When I look at the president, I can't see myself climbing the corporate ladder. To be a manager, you've got to be a heartless villain. This trait allows them to flog their dedicated workers without mercy and still sleep at night. I feel that same merciless cruelty radiating from this metallic altar. I wonder if it was once used for dark, unspeakable ceremonies. Or perhaps it was once the desk of a corporate boss. We'll never know...|block=y}}
