This treasure is found on the mainland in the [[Perplexing Pool]], and is found near the two [[Burgeoning Spiderwort]]s. It is almost in the same place as the [[UV Lamp]] in Pikmin 1, and the tactic in getting it is just the same. Just swarm [[Yellow Pikmin]] against the wall (be sure to have 15 or more). Lead them up carefully through the maze, then throw them up onto the high ledge so they can retrieve it.

Notes

Olimar's journal

Staring at this symbol tantalizes my taste buds. I've never observed this before, but my sight and sense of taste appear to be connected. Perhaps this is some new kind of psychological advertising. I'll have to tell the ship about it!

Sales pitch

This cryptic design contains a link between sight and taste that is unknown on Hocotate. According to the psychology of unknown shapes, gazing at this will let you taste the unknown.
