The Heroine's Tear is a fruit found in Pikmin 3. It appears to be a mango. In Story mode, the only Heroine's Tear to be collected can be found after defeating the Vehemoth Phosbat in the Distant Tundra, as well as 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.
How to obtain
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 should be collected. Along the route back is a Joustmite, a Bearded Amprat, and some Skeeterskates. The Skeeterskates will be an issue, since likely the player does 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 called back to one of the Captains. 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.
