The '''Subterranean Complex''' ({{j|地下の秘密基地|Chika no Himitsu Kichi|Subterranean Secret Base}}) is a [[cave]] in the [[Valley of Repose]], and is typically the second cave accessed in the area. It starts out as a snow-covered cave like the [[Emergence Cave]]; however, as one goes deeper into the complex it becomes a rusty, mechanical area with bottomless pits. Many of the enemies here have projectile and explosive attacks – be very careful when handling Pikmin, as explosions will kill them instantly. The [[boss]] of the cave is the [[Man-at-Legs]], a bio-mechanical [[Arachnorb]] specimen armed with a laser-guided machine gun-like weapon. The total value of all the treasure here is {{pokos|1480}} in the US [[Region|version]] and {{pokos|1310}} in the European version, mainly consisting of treasures from the [[Industrial Set]] and [[Hyper-technology Series]].
The '''Subterranean Complex''' is the second [[cave]] located in the [[Valley of Repose]] level. You'll have to do many steps to get to it. First, you may have to kill the [[Dwarf Red Bulborb]] and [[Red Bulborb]] in the arena so they won't eat your [[Pikmin Family|Pikmin]]. You may have to destroy the rock formation in the water and then build a bridge on the other side. Use the [[Decorated Cannon Beetle]]s to kill all of the enemies and then kill the Decorated Cannon Beetles by using their own rocks. If you didn't kill the [[Watery Blowhog]], use your [[Blue Pikmin|Blues]] or [[Purple Pikmin|Purples]] to kill it. Then, use your [[White Pikmin|Whites]] to tear down the [[Gate|poison white gate]] and get rid of the [[Hazards#Poison|poison pipes]].


==How to reach==
This giant dungeon starts out as a snow-covered cave like the [[Emergence Cave]]; however, as one gets deeper in the complex it becomes a rusty, mechanical area with bottomless pits, with a style similar to [[Rusty Gulch]]. Many of the enemies here have projectile and explosive attacks--be very careful when bringing Pikmin in, as explosions will kill them instantly. Recommended Pikmin types here are 35-40 Red Pikmin, 25-30 Yellow, 10-15 White, and 20-25 Purple.
{{location map | width = 246 | height = 411 | image = VoR texture.png | bg = #111 | caption = Location of the cave. | icons =
{{map icon | cave | 200 | 143}}
}}


Like the [[Frontier Cavern]], it is impossible to reach this cave before getting [[Blue Pikmin]]. Use Blue Pikmin to remove the [[clog]] in the first pond and build a [[bridge]] over the second. Once this is done, Pikmin of all types can be brought across. Beside the [[Watery Blowhog]] that is beyond the clump of enemies is a gate covered by [[poison emitter]]s, requiring [[White Pikmin]] to destroy. The cave is located beyond this gate, up a slope that is challenging for Pikmin to climb. Defeating the [[Decorated Cannon Beetle]]s, the various [[blowhog]]s and the [[Cloaking Burrow-nit]] is recommended, but not strictly necessary.
The boss is the [[Man-at-Legs]], an [[Arachnorb]] species armed with a laser-guided machine gun.
The total value of all the treasure here is 1480 (US), or 1310 (Europe).


No water is found in this cave, so your Pikmin squad should not include [[Blue Pikmin]]. The hazards of this dungeon are limited, with more focus being placed on [[bomb rock]] explosions, so minimal care needs to be placed on the proportions of the other Pikmin types. There is little reason to include less than 100 Pikmin in your party to take advantage of the [[Queen Candypop Bud]]s until after all treasures have been collected, unless you elected to bring a small squad of [[Purple Pikmin]]. This is because the [[Queen Candypop Bud]]s are located on sublevel 8, and the only danger following is the [[Man-at-Legs]].

The cave starts off with the first sublevel having a snowy cave appearance, much like the other caves in the Valley of Repose. However, this is the only sublevel in this cave to have a snowy theme.
 
Start by destroying the poison pipes and defeating some [[Bumbling Snitchbug]]s if they happen to be an annoyance. The [[Snow Bulborb]]s and [[Hairy Bulborb]]s can then be dealt with, preferably using [[Purple Pikmin]]. There are two treasures in this level: the [[Nouveau Table]], which should be buried, and the [[Exhausted Superstick]].

From this sublevel onwards, the snow is gone and each sublevel is a metal maze where [[throw]]ing a Pikmin over the edge will make it fall into the [[pit]].
The main focus on this sublevel is on the various [[Bomb rock|bomb-rocks]]. You should [[dismiss]] the Pikmin, and set off all bomb-rocks you can find. The [[Careening Dirigibug]]s will be armed by now, but they will not be as troublesome as the bomb-rocks that were on the ground.
The enemies should now be attacked one by one. The [[Swooping Snitchbug]] here has a high tendency to throw Pikmin in the gaps that are between the larger expanses. This still doesn't make it as big of a threat as the Dirigibugs, but it still shouldn't be completely ignored. The treasures here are the [[Spirit Flogger]] and the [[Network Mainbrain]].

This level has three [[Armored Cannon Larva|Armored Cannon Beetle Larva]]e, along with multiple [[fire geyser]]s. When fighting the beetles, make sure they aren't facing the [[Pit|void]], or else your Pikmin will be tossed into it. Once the threats are cleared, the [[Ivory Candypop Bud]] can be used to make [[White Pikmin]] if desired. Note that because of the way sublevels are generated, the Ivory Candypop Bud might not appear. Treasures here are the [[Superstrong Stabilizer]], the [[Omega Flywheel]] and the [[Coiled Launcher]].

This is a typical [[rest sublevel]]. The only objects worth mentioning are [[egg]]s, [[Candypop Bud]]s, and a [[geyser]] which can be used to return to the [[Valley of Repose]]. There are three Ivory Candypop Buds that can produce [[White Pikmin]].

This is a typical [[Cave#Sublevel|Rest Level]]. The only objects worth mentioning are [[Egg]]s, [[Candypop Bud]]s and a [[geyser]], which can be used to get to the surface. There are three Ivory Candypops that can produce White Pikmin.

In this sublevel, it is recommended to first dismiss the Pikmin into the corner behind the Research Pod, and to take a leader around the whole floor and disarm all the [[bomb rock]]s and [[Volatile Dweevil]]s. This is because it's much safer to have them explode while nothing is around, rather than when the Pikmin are busy. Once everything is cleared, Whites should be used to collect the [[Mystical Disc]] and the [[Adamantine Girdle]]. More [[Dweevil family|Dweevils]] and [[Bomb rock|bomb-rocks]] will fall when the Pikmin carry the treasures, so follow them carefully. Note that, although rare, it is possible for a bomb rock to fall near the starting location.{{cite web|https://clips.twitch.tv/BetterStrangeKathyJonCarnage|Twitch clip|Twitch|published={{date|14|August|2018}}|retrieved={{date|17|August|2018}}}}

Here, it is advisable to dismiss the Pikmin into the corner behind the pod and to take a captain. The main objective now is to make all the bomb-rocks and [[Volatile Dweevil]]s that spawn from the ceiling fall. Every bomb that is in sight should be set off as well. Once everything is cleared, Whites should be used to collect the [[Mystical Disc]] and the [[Adamantine Girdle]]. More [[Dweevil family|Dweevils]] will fall when the Pikmin move along.

Many enemies spawn close to each other in this level, including [[Careening Dirigibug]]s, [[Dweevil]]s and some [[Anode Beetle]]s. The enemies spawn in different positions each time, and as such, not much advice can be given, but killing the creatures that are a little off from the groups first is usually a safe tactic. Since [[electricity]] is the most dangerous hazard, using [[Yellow Pikmin]] is also a good idea. The Dweevils can also be chased near an edge, and chances are they will walk off the side &ndash; their treasures will reappear elsewhere. You can also dispose of the [[Anode Beetle]]s by carrying a couple of Pikmin with you to flip them over, and using cleverly lured [[Careening Dirigibug|Dirigibugs]] to drop bombs on them and kill them. The treasures available are the [[Repair Juggernaut]], the [[Vacuum Processor]] and the [[Space Wave Receiver]].
There is an exit geyser on this sublevel if you need to leave the cave, but there is also a rest stop two sublevels down which can be used to replenish your Pikmin army.

This large sublevel contains [[Gatling Groink]]s, one walking about, and the other on a pillar. After you clear the enemies, the [[Indomitable CPU]], the [[Furious Adhesive]] and the [[Thirst Activator]] need to be collected. One of the treasures may be in a corner, and when this one is picked up, bomb-rocks are likely to fall from the sky. Make sure to be especially cautious collecting treasures here.
There is an exit geyser on this sublevel if the player needs to leave the cave, but there is also a rest stop two sublevels down which can be used to replenish one's Pikmin army.


A good way to get rid of the walking Gatling Groink is to lure it over a gap which causes it to fall and instantly die. To note is that, due to the way cave sublevels are generated, the stationary Gatling Groink may not appear, and as such, you can miss out on the Indomitable CPU, as detailed [[Pikmin 2 cave generation|here]] and [[Mistake#Missing sublevel objects|here]].

This level contains [[Gatling Groink]]s. There is a strategy for them that is similar to that of the [[Ranging Bloyster]]. They are capable of shooting mortars from retractable cannons, giving them a far range of attack. Their tough shield makes it hard to attack them from the front, and there are 2 here. One walking about, and the other on a pillar. The walking one should chase the active captain, so they can be defeated more easily with the following tactic.
|room_hitode4x4_6_metal|'''Room with hatch'''
 
|room_hitode4x4_tower_3_metal|'''Circular room with tower'''
The captains need to be separated. One of them should have all Pikmin, and the one without any should lure the creature over to the one with all Pikmin. When the captains are switched, the game should automatically move the idle captain away. The captain that is now active and has all Pikmin can attack the enemy from behind. Once defeated, the Groink needs to be carried back to the pod, as it can regenerate its life energy, making it necessary to defeat it again. This can also be bypassed when it is defeated while [[Ultra-Bitter Spray|petrified]]. For the other one on the pillar, the tactic can be repeated.

After these battles, the [[Indomitable CPU]], the [[Furious Adhesive]] and the [[Thirst Activator]] need to be collected. One of the treasures may be in a corner, and when this one is picked up, bomb-rocks are likely to fall from the sky. Make sure to be especially cautious collecting treasures here.

Another way to defeat the Gatling Groinks is to take a lone captain and run around behind them tapping A, easily jabbing them to low [[HP|health]]. Then you can either bring Pikmin to finish the job or finish it off yourself and send Pikmin in to carry it away. Another good way to get rid of the walking Gatling Groink is to lure it over a gap which causes it to fall and instantly die.

Another rest level, and in this one, there are two [[Queen Candypop Bud]]s which can help make up for lost Pikmin. There are also three [[Violet Candypop Bud]]s for [[Purple Pikmin]], and a geyser to return to the surface.

The final floor of the cave contains the boss, the [[Man-at-Legs]]. Initially it appears as an orb in the middle of the arena. Rapidly throwing Pikmin at it before it gets up, preferably [[Purple Pikmin]], will deal a lot of damage to the boss, though not as much in ''[[New Play Control! Pikmin 2]]'', as the creature is invincible while it is getting up. Defeat the boss as per the strategy, recover the Stellar Orb, and return to the surface.

==Purple Pikmin and White Pikmin farming==
{{see also|Man-at-Legs strategy|l1=Man-at-Legs#Strategy}}
The Subterranean Complex is an excellent cave to increase the populations of [[Purple Pikmin]] and [[White Pikmin]]. On the third sublevel there will be a lone [[Ivory Candypop Bud]]. (Should it not be there, resetting the game and reloading the level should make it appear eventually.) The next sublevel contains three Ivory Candypops. On the eighth sublevel there will be three [[Violet Candypop Bud]]s and two [[Queen Candypop Bud]]s.
 
Looking around this level will reveal some metal switches and walls sticking out of the ground. There is an orb in the middle, which is the boss. However, it should not be attacked with normal Pikmin. Purples will inflict additional damage when they land on it while it is still dormant. The [[Man-at-Legs]] should have lost up to half of its health or more. This strategy is no longer possible in ''[[New Play Control! Pikmin 2]]'', as the creature is invincible while it is getting up from its dormant state.
 
Other than that, defeat the boss as per the strategy, recover the Stellar Orb, and go to the surface.


To get large numbers of both types, at least 22 of any Pikmin type other than White or Purple should be brought along into the cave, and used for every Candypop Bud available. If just Purple Pikmin are desired, only 1 Pikmin needs to be brought into the cave, and the player can run to the hole in the first 7 sublevels to reach the eighth, where the Queen Candypop Buds can be used to generate Pikmin for the Violet Candypop Buds. The eggs scattered about this sublevel will provide nectar for the [[Maturity|leaf and bud]] Pikmin. The cave can then be exited via the geyser. This process can be repeated infinitely, as the Candypop Buds are not [[Candypop Bud#Maximum Pikmin requirement|limited]] to a certain number of White or Purple Pikmin total.
==Note==
This is also an excellent cave to get [[Purple Pikmin]] and [[White Pikmin]]. At least 21 of any Pikmin type other than White or Purple should be brought along into the cave. On the third sublevel there will be a lone [[Ivory Candypop Bud]]. Should it not be there, resetting the game and reloading the level should make it appear eventually. The next sublevel spawns three Ivory Candypops. On the eighth sublevel there will be three [[Violet Candypop Bud]]s and two [[Queen Candypop Bud]]s.


==Gallery==
By using the Queen Candypops, the new Pikmin generated can be used for the Violet Candypops. The eggs scattered about the level will provide nectar for the leaf and bud Pikmin. The cave can then be exited via the geyser. This process can be repeated infinitely, as the Candypops are not limited to a certain number of White or Purple Pikmin total.

==Trivia==
[[File:Cave hole edge glitch.png|thumb|The sublevel hole appearing near the edge in sublevel 3.]]
*Because the way the layout generation works, some sublevels, particularly [[#Sublevel 3|sublevel 3]] and [[#Sublevel 8|sublevel 8]], can place the sublevel hole right next to the edge. The player can use the ramped surface of the hole to climb on top of the railing and jump off into the [[pit]].
*While only the first sublevel is snow-themed, the following two metal-themed sublevels use icy backgrounds to complete the transition, before changing to a stone background.
