The Heroine's Tear (ハナシズクノミ?) is a fruit found in Pikmin 3. It is actually a red mango. In story mode, the only Heroine's Tear to be collected can be found after defeating the Vehemoth Phosbat in the Distant Tundra, along with Captain Charlie. It takes 10 Pikmin to carry and provides two and a half rations of yellow juice. The fruit is slightly more common in Mission Mode however, being found in two stages: Forgotten Cove and Clockwork Chasm. It is worth 500 points.
Collecting the fruit

- See also: Vehemoth Phosbat strategy.
The one Heroine's Tear is found after defeating the Vehemoth Phosbat. It will only take 10 Pikmin to carry. Do note that the paper bag outside of the Phosbat's arena must be pushed down if the fruit is to be collected. Along the route back is a Joustmite, a Bearded Amprat, and some Skeeterskates. The Skeeterskates will be an issue, since you likely do not have Blue Pikmin, but make sure that the Joustmite and the Bearded Amprat are defeated.
Glitch
If the player leaves the Distant Tundra without collecting the Heroine's Tear, then comes back with Winged Pikmin, a glitch may occur. If Winged Pikmin are ordered to carry the fruit back, they will lift it up just a little bit too high to get through the exit to the cave in which the Vehemoth Phosbat is fought. They will get stuck right at this point, and while in this state they cannot be whistled back. More Winged Pikmin can be added to the fruit, but this will do nothing. The fruit and the Pikmin will remain stuck for the rest of the day, and the item will not be able to be retrieved until the next day.
