<nowiki>*</nowiki> There must be a grand total of 12 enemies, between the types marked with the asterisk. At least 3 enemies of each type must exist. The treasures match the carriers.
The cave starts rumbling while [[Creeping Chrysanthemum]]s, [[Cloaking Burrow-nit]]s, [[Sheargrub]]s and [[Shearwig]]s come out of the ground. To avoid [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] deaths, it is possible to reset the cave until the key lies right beside the player, which happens quite often.
