My Pikmin 4 Fictional Walkthrough /Game, Story

Day Twenty One: The Curious Everglade

We land back here and trek over to the pathway we didn’t explore yesterday- there we find a pool with a drain that we take care of in order to access another dungeon- however, the pool is inhabited by two slithards- they are the size of the Maleable Slithard but their scales are brown-green. They slither across the water with great speed in order to grab Pikmin and eat them up. This is the Striding Slithard. Let’s enter and get ready for some new hazards.



***Buried Wetland***



Sublevel 1:

Shrewd Amprat x2

Water Dumple x3

Chargeable Lightbulb x1

Toady Bloyster x1

Striding Slithard x1

Boulder Generator x1

Treasures: 3

Remember those aquatic amprats we saw in the Tidal Springs? Well they’re back! They dive in the water and only engage in combat there- but they’re darn fast in there.

Also boulder generators are functionally the same as “iwogen” that was unused in Pikmin 1. It’s a stationary mossy rock that shoots boulders in one direction. You can smash it with rock Pikmin and it vanishes.



Sublevel 2:

Burrowing Snagret x1

Hermit Crawmad x2

Shearwig x6

Swaddled Chrysalurk x4

Anode Beetle x5

Lesser Spotted Jellyfloat x2

Treasures: 2



Sublevel 3:

Orange Bulborb x1

Dwarf Orange Bulborb x6

Puffy Blowhog x1

Skeeterskate x3

Dessicated Skitterleaf x5

Boulder Generator x2

Treasures: 2



Sublevel 4:

Queen Candypop Bud x1

(Yellow) Candypop Bud x2

(Rock) Candypop Bud x2

Striding Slithard x2

Shearwig x9
Dessicated Skitterleaf x5
Treasures: 1



Sublevel 5 (final floor):

Boulder generator x1

Dwarf Orange Bulborb x7

Skeeterskate x3

Seismic Whiskercarp x1

Rock (fall) x?

Crystal Gate x1

Treasures: 2



This sublevel doesn’t have a precise boss- rather, it’s an exploration oriented level with a miniboss. In a small pond, there’s a ceramic goldfish guarded by a boulder generator and half submerged Dwarf Orange Bulborbs is a treasure atop a stump.



Next, we take on the miniboss hidden behind the gate.



In a muddy arena, a large brown catfish-like creature pops its head out of the ground with two long whiskers and bulgy eyes. It gasps and digs its head into the ground and begins wriggling, cracking the floor and causing rocks to fall from the ceiling as it generates a quake. So rocks can take care of the job right? Nope- as we approach it, creates an electric charge around its body and roars, slurping up Pikmin five at a time. Kind of like an electric eel. So yeah, the Seismic Whiskercarp is annoying. But it drops the reel of a fishing rod as a treasure. Unfortunately, this isn’t the grand machine the Pod was referring to- so let’s keep looking!



Back in the Curious Everglade

We’re back on the surface with some time to spare- so one final puzzle. We build a bridge across the river with three piles of fragments. One in crystal, one submerged and guarded by Water Dumples, and another tucked away in a tin can guarded by an Orange Bulborb. The bridge leads to a new area that we don’t have time to explore- but a flukeweed nearby holds a Luigi’s Mansion disk that we can collect.

Before we progress- the rest of the game isn’t really linear in any way whatsoever. We could do any of the other bosses before the other so the world is very open- although there is a new type of ‘Pikmin’ we have yet to discover.



Day Twenty-Two: The Somber Citadel



We arrive here to clear two new sections- first one we get access to because we have blues now.



We go to the pond where Alph originally landed and find that we can traverse across it and see an overgrown river area with some pale Wollywogs inside. There’s a drain we can destroy and water flows away into the ground.



Now we see a new puzzle- a conveyor belt that’s vertical. Hmm… we throw spiny Pikmin on it and they stick to the traction belt- they go waaaay up and hop off atop a platform where they find a rusty old watch to bring back to base after falling off a platform.



There are two large gear-like objects and a wire that needs to be charged- throw 20 yellows and they power the gears as they move in opposite directions- they’re large and act as our transportation upstairs!



We walk into one of the teeth of the gear and it winds our army upwards, spitting us onto a platform a few feet above the previous floor. This place is littered with metallic frames girders- there’s no roof here, so you can hear the wind gliding by. We’re assailed by some Swooping Snitchbugs and Dirigibugs which winged Pikmin can take out. There’s a metallic cylinder off the side of a platform- bellow it is an infinite drop that leads off the roof of the factory. Yikes. We have to carefully toss winged Pikmin at the treasure- a cellphone- and they’ll haul it off.



We lift a bamboo gate to a girder pathway that drops off in a gulch-style arena. The wind blows polluted mist down below, lapping at the factory walls. The final boss of the area bursts through the cloud cover and flies by the arena- a large Dirigibug with a steampunk-style zeppelin on its back. It has four arms, two of which occupy an air compressor-like item, the other two create bomb rocks. The Gliding Zeppelinsect spawns two bomb rocks and the battle begins!



It can propel itself fast, with a propeller on its rear. We have to make very calculated throws with some Spiny Pikmin in order for them to latch onto its blimp and puncture tiny holes, air slowly whistling out. After throwing maybe 15 onto the zeppelin and avoiding the bomb rocks, the Zeppelinsect will sail onto the arena and lower itself in order to heal. Now we can attack it with all our Pikmin.



It will dust itself off as its blimp re-inflates and it takes off again. It hovers eerily for a bit then pulls out the air compressor as it begins blowing at you and your squad. It will attempt to blow Pikmin off stage since the rim of the area is rounded off. Throw a purple (wind resistant) Pikmin at the source of the wind and the creature falls down again. Upon attacking it once more, it sails off into the sky and bombards you with explosives again.



The cycle repeats until the creature dies- however, it will occasionally spit out a groink-style missile at your squad from its side after the first cycle. Eventually, the biomechanical creature dies and lands on the platform, dropping a radio-like machine; the 2nd piece to our ‘Olimar-finding’ machine!



Now the final thing we’ll do today before we clear a cave tomorrow- remember that cylinder we found lying on its side the first time we came here? Now we use blues to find a submerged rubber duck that’s buried in the mud within the cylinder. By now, however, a Spotty Bulbear has spawned in there- oh boy.



Today was daunting so let’s grow more Pikmin the rest of the day.

I'll be away for about 3 weeks- I'll try to post more while I'm away, but we'll see.

I definitely have more to come though- we're over half way done with this game

Would anyone toon in if i actually kept this going?

Hey Zephosbat, I do like your walkthrough! Have you considered drawing your enemies, or making map diagrams? I think it would add a lot to this.

You should practice! You also could try making some of your maps in Espyo's Pikmin Fan engine.
