The Seafloor Resort is a cave in the Serene Shores in Pikmin 4. It is located within the touch tank of a massive aquarium, with platforms made out of stone and varnished tree stumps. Seafloor Resort has a large amount of water, making Blue Pikmin necessary. Non-aquatic enemies, such as jellyfloats, aristocrabs, and Fiery Blowhogs appear as well, including an encounter with a large Masterhop. This cave has  × 1,625 worth of treasure.

How to reach

A visual guide

This cave is found at the foot of the large sand castle. Directly across from the Water's Edge base, there is a ramp that provides easy access to the entrance on the right (even during high tide, there is no water surrounding the ramp). From The Sand Keep base, the entrance can be found at the end of the bottom road populated with Armored Cannon Larva. Alternatively, Oatchi can jump over the sand castle's walls, allowing for an easy shortcut to the foot of the structure.

Notes

Olimar's Voyage Log

“What beautiful scenery! When I'm surrounded by water, I can't help but feel at one with the sea. Sadly, there aren't many places to land in here, so nonswimming Pikmin aren't able to do much. At least I got to pretend I was on vacation for a little while, right?”

Sublevel 1

Map of sublevel 1.

• Treasures:
  •  Sunseed Berry
  •  Maestro of Flavor × 2
  •  False Lollipop (Pulled out of the ground by a fishing rope)
  •  Maternal Sculpture
  •  Gold Nugget × 15
• Enemies:
  •  Lesser Spotted Jellyfloat × 3
  •  Fiery Blowhog × 2
• Obstacles:
  •  Sprinkler × 2
  •  Water spout × 2
  •  Dirt wall × 1
  •  Iron fence × 1
  •  Hydro jelly × 1
• Tools:
  •  Clay valve × 1 (requires 12 pieces of raw material) (turns off both sprinklers)
  •  Fishing rope × 1
  •  Geyser × 1
• Wild Pikmin:
  •  Blue Pikmin × 5 (Sprouts)
  •  Blue Pikmin × 5 (inside Lesser Spotted Jellyfloat)
  •  Ice Pikmin × 5 (Sprouts)
• Others:
  •  Flarlic × 1 (inside hydro jelly)

The first thing you'll notice about this cave is the excessive amounts of water, so keeping your Blue Pikmin alive will be a must. The first thing you should do is send Oatchi with a squad of Blue Pikmin to get the Sunseed Berry (it's in the area past the small step) as there are no enemies over there, and the Blue Pikmin will allow you to transport it without turning off the sprinklers. After that, take a stroll down the beach to pluck some Ice Pikmin and deal with the two Lesser Spotted Jellyfloats. There are two water geysers, fifteen Gold Nuggets, and a path up to a building spot in this area. But taking out the Jellyfloats first would be a good idea as they'll just get in the way. If you're having trouble with these enemies, remember that freezing an airborne Jellyfloat causes it to die instantly upon hitting the ground, and doing this with the second one will cause no harm to come to the Blue Pikmin it's holding. For the nuggets, once again Blue Pikmin can transport them without having to worry about the water. Use five Blue Pikmin to fish the False Lollipop out of the river, and head for the sponge on the right to find two Maestros of Flavor guarded by two Fiery Blowhogs. Without Red Pikmin, dealing with these twins can get really annoying if they're too close together. Wait until they're separated and use Oatchi's Charge to attack the first one while the other is none the wiser. Once you're done over here, head up the hill to get the Maternal Sculpture down from the ceiling. To transport it, use seven Blue Pikmin or freeze the middle lake using Ice Pikmin if you have enough. Use twelve raw materials to build the valve and turn off the sprinklers to make things easier. The passage to the next sublevel is behind an iron fence only the Recruit can pass through. Use them to take care of the Jellyfloat and knock down the Dirt Wall so Oatchi can join you. Once all the enemies are defeated, you should be able to finish up here with ease. Grab the Flarlic by freezing the hydro jelly with Ice Pikmin, and pluck the five Blue Pikmin on the island hidden behind said Jelly.

See also: Masterhop strategy.

There's a Masterhop as a boss on a sandy floor. A good trick is to either freeze the water, or to freeze the Masterhop while it's in the air. Unlike most final sublevels, the castaway can be obtained without fighting the boss. To do this, you'll probably need to bring 10 Yellow Pikmin, have them ride Oatchi, throw them onto the fishing rope, then rush into the wall.
