Collecting the treasure

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

Blossoming Arcadia

There is an Octoplus inside of a Waddlequaff at the northernmost section of the area. To collect this treasure, you must either defeat the Waddlequaff and throw 2 Pikmin at it, or throw 2 Pikmin when the Waddlequaff spits it out, and distract it while the treasure is being carried off.

Seafloor Resort

There are two Octopluses on the absolute northwest of sublevel 2 of the Seafloor Resort, beyond the water, on the edge of the surrounding tank. To collect them, you must throw 2 Pikmin at each one.

Frozen Inferno

There is an Octoplus lying on the ground at the far west side of sublevel 1 of the Frozen Inferno next to a Heroic Sword. To collect this treasure, you must throw a fire starter at the bundles of straw in front of it, or hope a Pyroclasmic Slooch ignites them. Then, throw 2 Pikmin at it.

Notes

Schnauz's notes

“Alien invasion? No, no...it's just an octopus! Or is it? There's something quite strange about this one. Could it be a new species, perhaps? Well, whatever this thing is, the way its adorable beady eyes stare unblinkingly at me... I'm almost certain it is communicating telepathically with me.”

Olimar's notes

“A strange life-form that mimics an octopus... Hmm... We've discovered other creatures that use mimicry, but in this case, it's fairly unconvincing. I'm not even sure it IS a life-form. I intend to dissect it to investigate further, but first I will try one tiny bite...”

Louie's notes

“The head and tails have the same flavor and texture. Tastes like fish.”
