(To pluck pikmin, don't forget to use the Pluckaphone rather than plucking manually, which takes a lot of time!) Regroup with Oatchi after having plucked the 5 Ice Pikmin at the start, and use the Candypop Bud to get 5 Purple Pikmin. Destroy the Water Wraith's rollers (you don't need to kill him afterwards, just chase him away if he's in the way), break the Hydro Jelly containing 3 Purples after having sent Oatchi to dig the moat next to the dirt wall. Get the Onion down from its placements using 8 Purples and 20 Ice pikmin, and get Oatchi to swallow it once it's down. Break the dirt wall, the crystal wall with the bomb Oatchi dug up then go ahead to clear the way (kill the Blowhogs, uproot the plants.) Once the plant is uprooted, kill the Startle Spore and the Arctic cannon larva with the help of Oatchi. As soon as they are handled, get Otachi to swallow the onion again while you transform 5 more Ice Pikmin in purples and use them to lower the paper bag, then wait for Oatchi to waddle his way to the ship.
