The '''Astringent Clump''' is a [[fruit]] found in ''[[Pikmin 3]]''. It is actually a {{w|grapefruit}}, and gives the [[Koppai]]te explorers two rations of juice (one in [[difficulty|Ultra-Spicy mode]]). There are two of them in the game, one in the [[Garden of Hope]] and the other in one of the caves in the [[Distant Tundra]]. This is one of few fruits that does not appear in either [[Mission Mode]] or [[Bingo Battle]]. It looks similar to the [[Crunchy Deluge]], despite being a different fruit.
The '''Astringent Clump''' ({{j|オオダマニガミバシリ|Ōdama Nigamibashiri|Bitterness Blitzing Big Ball}}) is a [[fruit]] in ''[[Pikmin 3]]'', and a [[treasure]] in {{p4}}. It is a {{w|grapefruit}}, and gives the [[Koppai]]te explorers two bottles of juice (one in [[difficulty|Ultra-Spicy mode]]). There are two found throughout ''Pikmin 3'', one in the [[Garden of Hope]] and the other in the [[Distant Tundra]]. This is one of few fruits that does not appear in either [[Mission Mode]] or [[Bingo Battle]], though it does appear in ''Pikmin 3 Deluxe''{{'s}} [[Side Stories]].

[[File:Astringent Clump Garden of Hope.jpg|thumb|left|The Astringent Clump in the Garden of Hope.]]
To find the Astringent Clump in the [[Garden of Hope]], you must go to the area in the northwest with the [[Zest Bomb]] and [[elevator platform]]s. There is an [[electric gate]] blocking the way to the fruit. The Astringent Clump takes 10 [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] to carry but a minimum of 32 are needed to complete the puzzle normally. First, throw 22 Pikmin onto the high stack of bricks between the two elevator pairs (this is made easy with [[Yellow Pikmin]], otherwise they can be thrown from the left elevator). Raise 2 leaders up on the left elevator so that one can be thrown to the high stack of bricks. Have the lower 2 leaders go all the way to the right to throw 10 other Pikmin and a leader onto the elevator on the ground. Switch to the leader on the high stack of bricks and throw them onto the elevator with the [[Secret File]]. The leader with the other 10 Pikmin can now throw them to the fruit.


Though you're meant to use the platforms, they can be skipped entirely by locking onto the fruit and charging [[Winged Pikmin]] at it before the game stops the lock-on. To note is that the Winged Pikmin will get stuck before going to the fruit's level in {{p3d}}, so this trick won't work on that release.

In {{p3d}}, the Winged Pikmin get stuck more often than not, but it is possible by positioning the leader against the easternmost corner of the block tower and charging from there. Furthermore, when using this method, the destruction of the electric gate can be skipped entirely, as the Winged Pikmin will fly above it while returning the fruit.

The other Astringent Clump is found in the [[Distant Tundra]], inside of the cave that leads to the outside portion where [[Charlie]] first crash-landed. To get to it, you need to open up a [[bamboo gate]] using [[Winged Pikmin]]. [[Red Pikmin|Red]], Winged, and [[Rock Pikmin]] are recommended for this area, as there are multiple [[fire]] hazards, including [[Fiery Blowhog]]s and [[fire geyser]]s. There is also a [[Spotty Bulbear]] patrolling the room past the bamboo gate, with some [[Dwarf Bulbear]]s following close behind it. At the end of the room is a [[crystal wall]], which can be smashed using Rock Pikmin. Next to it, on a ledge, is the Astringent Clump, which is slightly buried. Behind the crystal wall there are ten [[bomb rock]]s, which can be used to take out the enemies in the room. A bomb rock can also be used to quickly [[dig]] out the fruit. Whichever way you choose, kill the [[Spotty Bulbear]] and take the fruit back to the [[S.S. Drake]].

These can be used to take out the enemies in the room and to quickly [[dig]] up the fruit. After killing the [[Spotty Bulbear]], carry the fruit back to the [[S.S. Drake]].

The Astringent Clump (オオダマニガミバシリ?, lit.: "Bitterness Blitzing Big Ball") is a fruit in Pikmin 3, and a treasure in Pikmin 4. It is a grapefruit, and gives the Koppaite explorers two bottles of juice (one in Ultra-Spicy mode). There are two found throughout Pikmin 3, one in the Garden of Hope and the other in the Distant Tundra. This is one of few fruits that does not appear in either Mission Mode or Bingo Battle, though it does appear in Pikmin 3 Deluxe's Side Stories. In Pikmin 4, it can be found in the Secluded Courtyard and the Doppelgänger's Den. It is similar in appearance to the Crunchy Deluge, despite being a different fruit.

Collecting the fruit[edit]

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

Garden of Hope[edit]

Astringent Clump
Location of the Astringent Clump in the Garden of Hope.

To find the Astringent Clump in the Garden of Hope, you must go to the area in the northwest with the Zest Bomb and elevator platforms. There is an electric gate blocking the way to the fruit, which needs to be destroyed first. The Astringent Clump takes 10 Pikmin to carry but a minimum of 32 are needed to complete the puzzle normally. First, throw 22 Pikmin onto the high stack of bricks between the two elevator pairs (this is made easy with Yellow Pikmin, otherwise they can be thrown from the left elevator). Raise 2 leaders up on the left elevator so that one can be thrown to the high stack of bricks. Have the lower 2 leaders go all the way to the right to throw 10 other Pikmin and a leader onto the elevator on the ground. Switch to the leader on the high stack of bricks and throw them onto the elevator with the data file. The leader with the other 10 Pikmin can now throw them to the fruit.

Though you're meant to use the platforms, they can be skipped entirely by locking onto the fruit and charging Winged Pikmin at it before the game stops the lock-on. In Pikmin 3 Deluxe, the Winged Pikmin get stuck more often than not, but it is possible by positioning the leader against the easternmost corner of the block tower and charging from there. Furthermore, when using this method, the destruction of the electric gate can be skipped entirely, as the Winged Pikmin will fly above it while returning the fruit.

Astringent Clump
Location of the Astringent Clump in the Distant Tundra.

An Astringent Clump is found in the Distant Tundra, inside the cave that leads from the main part of the area to the outside segment where Charlie first crash-landed. To get to it, you need to open up a bamboo gate using Winged Pikmin. Red and Winged Pikmin are recommended for this area, as there are multiple fire hazards, including Fiery Blowhogs and fire geysers. There is also a Spotty Bulbear patrolling the room past the bamboo gate, with some Dwarf Bulbears following close behind it. At the end of the room is a crystal wall, next to which, on a ledge, is the slightly buried Astringent Clump. In the area behind the crystal wall, which can either be accessed by destroying the panel with a small group of Rock Pikmin or taking a short path around it with a few Dwarf Bulbears, there are ten bomb rocks. These can be used to take out the enemies in the room and to quickly dig up the fruit. After killing the Spotty Bulbear, carry the fruit back to the S.S. Drake.

Collecting the treasure[edit]

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

Secluded Courtyard[edit]

An Astringent Clump is hanging from a cobweb near the central north point of sublevel 3 of the Secluded Courtyard. There is a water spout beneath it that should be taken care of before attempting to transport the treasure. The nearby Sunsquish and the water spout on the way to the S.S. Beagle should also be dealt with. Afterward, to collect this treasure, you must throw 12 Pikmin at it.

Doppelgänger's Den[edit]

There is an Astringent Clump completely submerged in the pool in the center of sublevel 1 of the Doppelgänger's Den. It is guarded by two Skeeterskates, which should be defeated before attempting to collect it. To collect this treasure, you must throw 12 Pikmin at it.

Notes

Brittany's notes

US version US version
A little sweet, a little sour, but mostly BITTER. Alph can't cope with the bitterness and wants me to sweeten it somehow, but I have to say it's growing on me. Maybe he'll mature into it?
European version European version
A little sweet, a little sour, but mostly just bitter. Alph can't cope with the bitterness and asked me to sweeten it somehow, but I have to say it's growing on me. Maybe it's one of those refined tastes he'll learn to like when he gets a bit older?

Schnauz's notes[edit]

It takes a refined palate to appreciate all this fruit has to offer. It is at once sweet, sour, bitter, and even spicy. But those capable of pushing through the complex, slightly painful taste experience will find themselves greatly rewarded.

Olimar's notes[edit]

The night after I ate this fruit, I had a dream in which I saw lots of them growing, clustered together on a tree. If I were able to grow and harvest that many, we'd never run out of food. I suppose we won't know what's possible until I plant the first seed...

Louie's notes[edit]

Perfect for the moments when all that will satisfy you is a mouthful of bitterness.
