The Monster Pump is a treasure in Pikmin 2. It is actually a water tap with an attached pressure gauge. It is found on the last (14) sublevel of the Dream Den, and is held by the powerful Titan Dweevil. It must be knocked off by dealing enough damage. It shoots out blasts of water via the tap, which can be avoided by watching the shadows of the drops carefully and moving if the shadow comes to the Pikmin. Continually switch captains to make sure no Pikmin are drowning while this is being fired. When the Monster Pump is close to being knocked from the Dweevil, it will fire drops of water at a much faster pace. This is one of the five treasures that are tied for second in their value.

Notes

Olimar's journal

“This savage water pump was just one of many weapons wielded by the titan dweevil. This pump is capable of spraying jets of hyper-pressurized water!”

Sales pitch

“This item automatically detects subterranean waterways, even if the water is buried a mile deep! This monster pump draws liquid any distance, and its almost-uncontrollable power is fantastic!”
