The Astringent Clump (オオダマニガミバシリ?, lit.: "Giant Bitter Basilisk Clump") is a fruit found in Pikmin 3. It is actually a grapefruit, and gives the Koppaite explorers two rations of juice. There are two of them in the game, one in the Garden of Hope and the other in one of the caves in the Distant Tundra. This is one of few fruits that does not appear in either Mission Mode or Bingo Battle. It looks similar to the Crunchy Deluge, despite being a different fruit altogether.
Collecting the fruit

The following article or section contains guides. |
Garden of Hope
To find the first Astringent Clump, you must go to the area within the Garden of Hope where you first found a Zest Bomb. Tear down the electric gate blocking the way. There is a puzzle which includes the elevator platforms to get to the Zest Bomb. There is also a Secret Memo atop one of the elevators past the gate. The Astringent Clump takes 10 Pikmin to carry, and has a maximum carry weight of 20 Pikmin. Though you're meant to use the platforms, they can be skipped entirely by locking onto the fruit and charging Winged Pikmin at it.
Distant Tundra
The other Astringent Clump is found in the Distant Tundra, inside of the cave that leads to the outside portion where Charlie first crash landed. To get to it, you need to open up a bamboo gate using Winged Pikmin. Red, Winged, and Rock Pikmin are recommended for this area, as there are multiple fire hazards, including Fiery Blowhogs and fire geysers. There is also a Spotty Bulbear patrolling the room past the bamboo gate, with some Dwarf Bulbears following close behind it. At the end of the room is a crystal wall, which can be smashed using Rock Pikmin. Next to it, on a ledge, is the Astringent Clump, which is slightly buried. Behind the crystal wall there are ten bomb rocks, which can be used to take out the enemies in the room. A bomb rock can also be used to quickly dig out the fruit. Whichever way you choose, kill the Spotty Bulbear and take the fruit back to the S.S. Drake.
