I try and beat Pikmin 2 but every cave has multiple water wraiths... it does not go well... Thanks again to Salem for creating the mod Salem's RU-vid Channel: / @salemfnix1824 If you want to support the channel: / pressa
"The submerged castle is the most hated cave in pikmin 2" I'd rather do the submerged castle 100 times than one of those stupid water tree stump floors in the dream den.
Yeah the submerged castle is really fun once you know how to speed through it and lure the waterwraith away from your pikmin by splitting up your leaders. Getting lucky with sub level layout generation also helps lol
This is like stepping on a rake that hits you in the family jewels every day but you have 1 specifically for when you get out of bed, and another one when you stumble into the bathroom
"Lowered the pikmin count of the globe from 101 to 70" See if I made this mod, I'd have made it 100, so you had to get to this point and retrieve it without losing a pikmin
your welcome man!! i had a blast making it! btw the FNIX in my name can pronounced as Phoenix FNIX is the name of the rouge ai in Generation Zero and i liked it alot so i used it as the last part of my name
Submerged Castle has slowly become one of the fan favorites actually It has a really unique atmosphere and gimmick that leads to a really memorable cave, which is something Pikmin 2 MAJORLY lacks If you want most hated caves go to wistful wild
Possible reason for wraith not spawning in perplexing pool, apparently the foliage takes up a lot of memory for the level and thus if you mod enemies in you have to be careful of crashes.
Perplexing pool has a problem with entity overload in mods because of the number of plants on the map. Your pal probably couldn’t do anything about it without it crashing.
I wouldn't even say it's "hated" more like it's notorious for it's unique gimmick that induces fear and anxiety through the use of an unstoppable, unkillable monster. They don't even show a timer until when the WR appears creating a heightened sense of anxiety. By no means it's not a hard cave. It's just very memorable because of the constant state of panic you get put in. (Punctuated by the statement that the ship makes when it first appears telling you the only thing you can do is run where up to this point all enemies have been killable.) It's also memorable because of the "revenge" you get to take on it and it feels so cathartic. It's really no wonder they remade this cave for Pikmin 4... I mean they didn't do as good of a job I think, but still goes to show its infamy. Also: Thank you Salem in the comments.
i mean, realistically. wouldn't it make sense for the water wraths to crush Every pikmin that was carrying the treasure, not just the ones under it? because the wrath's fat massive rollers and gelatinous body just jumped up on this treasure suddenly and they didn't let go of the treasure... them arms are getting ripped off or their legs are getting compressed by a hydraulic press 🤔🤔
Incorrect; all video games challenge runners are masochists, especially those that play souls-likes or From Software games for content, but that's besides the point
These challenges make me so sad! I'd love to see the Pikmin series without losing any Pikmin. I love those little goobers, and they die by the dozen in every video. Jokes aside, great video as always, keep it up!
I just remembered something that might help you out, or those willing to do this challenge. There is a really good glitch with the ultra spicy spray. If you play your cards right you can actually make the pikmin go at light speed carrying treasures (eats up a lot of spicy spray though, one of those more you do it the faster you go). Some speedruns use it to bypass gates that they normally cannot break.
Pikmin 2: Roller Derby Edition. I did not know that the wraiths can kill upon spawning in... that's... fun... I'm surprised there wasn't more captain switching, or any for that matter.
The submerged castle isn’t the most hated, I think it’s actually pretty beloved for the time management aspect. Only 10 years old me was traumatised by and hated this cave lol
32:19 It’s because that part of the map is actually from the Submerged Castle (which normally isn’t there) and since you can only bring blues in the Submerged Castle they made the generic path for Pikmin go through the water.
“These 4 white Pikmin were trying to let the water wraiths free, so I killed them.” *10 seconds later* “I decided to free these water wraiths because I’m not a coward.”
i think a cool way to make this challenge very satisfying and less gruelling would be to implement something that despawned the water wraiths after you kill every other enemy on a floor. i would definitely play that.
Salem, if you manage to read this I have a suggestion. Instead of having purple flowers, give the bulbmin the power to deal with the wraith. It only appears in the submerged castle, and it would prevent it from leaving.
"Pikmin 2 but every cave has a waterwraith" okay, sounds like an interesting new level of difficulty "actually, two waterwraiths" wh- okay. sure. even harder, fun. "and they spawn in immediately" i guess it makes sense to want them on you the whole time? "no purples" WHAT? WHY??????? "they're in the overworld too" ????????????? you masochist. this is going to be a fun watch.
9:51 My first thought after what you've said here is simply dandori issue. You have two captains. Surely one captain can bait the water wraith while the other escorts the pikmin carrying the payload. I can't say for certain since I've obviously not experienced Water Wraith behavior outside the Submerged Castle but it doesn't seem like it should be too bad if it behaves similarly at least in the caves.
So that was the first thing I tried and the waterwraith seems to prioritize pikmin over captains for some reason. I had plenty of time were he would completely ignore me and just head straight for my pikmin.
@@pressaTD My follow up would be, did you give a handful of pikmin to the other captain? If so, TIL the water wraith has a number priority with which pikmin group it targets.
I'd say submerged castle isn't really the most hated cave by any stretch when the final area exists, and even before that, the subterranian complex can be pretty crazy at times I'd say it's more so the most memorable cave for most pikmin 2 players since I see it talked about the most
