'''Emergence Cave''' is the first [[cave]] the player comes upon in ''[[Pikmin 2]]'', and is by far the easiest. It acts as the game's tutorial for caves, featuring a simple layout in each [[sublevel]] and no particularly harmful [[enemy|enemies]] or [[boss]]es. [[Purple Pikmin]] are first encountered here, which are needed to collect a [[Spherical Atlas|certain treasure]] to progress to the next area. In this cave, there are 480 [[Poko]]s worth of treasures.

This cave is beyond the large field where a [[Red Bulborb]] lies. After the player destroys the white gate, the cave will be easily found.

The Emergence Cave can be reached by progressing past both [[bag]]s and the white bramble [[gate]] near the landing site. It is hard to miss once the white gate is destroyed, and it is impossible to go beyond the cave without discovering [[Blue Pikmin]] first. You should bring all the Pikmin you have at this point (which is usually 70 [[Red Pikmin]] at most).

The first sublevel of this cave has two treasures, which are guarded by four Snow Bulborbs; these are easily killed by [[Group move|swarming]] or [[throw]]ing Pikmin on their backs. Once defeated, the [[Citrus Lump]] and [[Quenching Emblem]] can be carried to the [[Research Pod]]. Bringing defeated enemies back will trigger a [[cutscene]] the first time a corpse is picked up by the Pod, though this can happen in whatever sublevel this first occurs in.

Given that enemies respawn every time a cave is entered, and that enemies are worth a few Pokos, a player can finish the debt using nothing but the Emergence Cave. This challenge usually requires that the player gets no money from sources outside of the Emergence Cave, except for the mandatory [[Courage Reactor]]. A sub-version of the challenge would be to not unlock any other area, so, in effect, not getting the [[Spherical Atlas]].

With some research, it's estimated that a fast player could repay the debt using this method in just 16 in-game days, taking 22 real time hours to do so.<ref>[[User:Espyo/Emergence_Cave_run|The experiment]] conducted by [[User:Espyo|a user]], where times were measured, and a final estimated time was calculated.</ref>

Emergence Cave

The following article or section contains guides.
The strategies shown are just suggestions.

Emergence Cave (始まりの洞窟?, lit.: "Cave of Beginning") is a cave in the Valley of Repose in Pikmin 2, and is the first cave in the game, serving as a tutorial for how caves work. It features a simple layout in each sublevel and no particularly dangerous enemies or bosses, making it the easiest cave in the game. Purple Pikmin are first encountered here, which are needed to collect the Spherical Atlas to progress to the next area. In this cave, there are Poko × 480 worth of treasures.

How to reach[edit]

Location of the cave.

The Emergence Cave can be reached by progressing past both bags and the white bramble gate near the landing site. It is hard to miss once the white gate is destroyed, and it is impossible to go beyond the cave without discovering Blue Pikmin first. You should bring all the Pikmin you have at this point (which is usually 70 Red Pikmin at most).

Notes

Ship's dialogs

“Interesting... Warm air is welling up from the hole in the ground before you.

What could lie underground? ...What is wrong? You both show expressions of unease.

Do not fear! The leader's group of Pikmin will join you. I shall dispatch my research pod, too.

Approach the hole and press A to jump in!”

Sublevel 1[edit]

An unofficial map of sublevel 1 of the Emergence Cave.
A map of sublevel 1. Its layout never changes.

The first sublevel of this cave has two treasures, which are guarded by four Snow Bulborbs; these are easily killed by swarming or throwing Pikmin on their backs. Once defeated, the Citrus Lump and Quenching Emblem can be carried to the Research Pod. Bringing defeated enemies back will trigger a cutscene the first time a corpse is picked up by the Pod, though this can happen in whatever sublevel this first occurs in.

Emergence Cave challenge[edit]

Main article: Challenge run#Emergence Cave challenge.

Given that enemies respawn every time a cave is entered, and that their corpses are worth a few Pokos, a player can finish the debt using nothing but the Emergence Cave. This challenge usually requires that the player gets no money from sources outside of the Emergence Cave's corpses. This takes several in-game days and many visits to the cave, as the player can only get Poko × 22 from the 11 Snowy Bulborbs each time they enter the cave.
