For the sweet potato in Pikmin 4, see Daughter of the Earth.

The Child of the Earth (大地の息子?, lit.: "Son of the Earth") is a treasure found in Pikmin 2 and Pikmin 4. It is actually a potato.

Collecting the treasure in Pikmin 2[edit]

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

It's found in sublevel 3 of the Cavern of Chaos buried underground. White Pikmin are needed to dig it up. There are multiple Creeping Chrysanthemums and Mamutas which will disturb you if the treasure is carried back to the pod too early.

Collecting the treasure in Pikmin 4[edit]

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

Sun-Speckled Terrace[edit]

There is a Child of the Earth completely buried near the north-middle section of the overworld, just before the summit with the wheel. It can be located more precisely with the Treasure Gauge or by searching for treasure using Oatchi. To collect this treasure, you must throw 7 Pikmin in its vicinity so they can dig it up.

Engulfed Castle[edit]

There is a Child of the Earth half-buried and partially submerged underwater in the northern room of sublevel 3 of the Engulfed Castle. It is guarded by a Wollyhop, which should be defeated before attempting to collect it. To collect this treasure, you must throw 7 Pikmin at it.

Notes

Olimar's journal

Today, buried in a deep hole, I found a vegetable that I'd never seen before. This dark-dwelling vegetable stores all of its nutritious energy in its roots. The ship named it Child of the Earth, and I think it's fitting.

Sales pitch

This plant has grown fat on the blessings of the land. Its nutritional value must be high!

Schnauz's notes[edit]

This plant sucks the good things out of the ground it grows in to get its lumpy, round shape. No, it doesn't look all that exciting, but I suspect the nutritional value is quite high.

Olimar's notes[edit]

During my explorations, I found vegetables like this. I've never seen anything like them. This dark-dwelling vegetable stores all of its nutritious energy in its roots. I think the name that it's been given, Child of the Earth, is very fitting.

Louie's notes[edit]

When left unattended, its leftovers will begin to sprout. I might try burying it underground to see if it takes root.

Trivia[edit]

  • Although Olimar claims he has never seen a potato before, it is clear that potatoes are known to Hocotatians, given that Louie's notes for the Emperor Bulblax mention the vegetable[1]. It is, however, possible that potatoes on Hocotate are different from those on Earth.
  • The name is likely a reference to the French word for potato, pomme de terre, which translates to "apple of the Earth".

  1. ^ To prep the tongue for cooking, marinate in olive oil and chop into cubes. Stir in a pot with carrots, potatoes, and chives, cover, and simmer over low heat for several hours. Accompany this mouthwatering, rustic stew with a hearty roll. – Louie in Louie's notes for the Emperor Bulblax
