The Ambiguous Hostel is a treasure in Pikmin 4. It is a maroon ocarina with two engravements on the mouthpiece: a calligraphic writing that reads "Tlozoot" and a serif letter "AC", the latter closer to the windway.

Collecting the treasure

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

As with the other treasures found in the Serene Shores's northwestern section, you cannot access this treasure without first delving through the Engulfed Castle. Once you do, this treasure can be found to the north of the aforementioned cave's exit, sitting atop a ledge. It is low enough to be reached by most Pikmin or be knocked down with a rush from Oatchi. The Whiptongue Bulborb nearby should be defeated first.

Notes

Schnauz's notes

“It seems that something—or more likely some things—lived within the inner cavity of this device. What were these things? What was their purpose? Were they forced to live there together as part of an experiment? Some things are destined to remain unknown.”

Olimar's notes

“Based on its shape and where it was found, I have deduced this is a nest for some type of aquatic creature. On Hocotate, fish are known to use sunken buildings and objects like their own underwater apartments. I'm sure many a life flourished here.”

Louie's notes

“I put my face through one of the holes and smelled something odd.”
