Pikmin 2 - Submerged Castle (No Deaths) 

"If you kill it, you can control its babies!" Also, the babies can kill their mother. Now thats gruesome.

They geyser on Sublevel 1. It's as if the game is saying: "Last chance to back out!"

You know a cave is going to be difficult when it has its own special music...

Carefully now, he’s a hero

I remember being trapped in one of the sublevels with Louie and a lone White Pikmin, trying to break down a wall while avoiding the Waterwraith.

The bulbmin are legitimately one of my favorite Pikmin, but I forgot that you could find them in this nightmare of a cave

Gotta love how the waterwraith is so powerful its the only enemy in the game with more than one healthbar (not counting respawning enemies)

This man proves that it is possible to flawless this cave, but I always had a mini heartattack when the treasure cutscenes happens because I always he was coming

This cavern is not good for the heart seriously

Submerged castle is one of those dungeons where even IF your prepared, you are NEVER PREPARED.

6:25 that blue pikmin is just having a dance party by himself.

My God he did it. GIVE THIS MAN A BEER AND A MEAL CAUSE HE DESERVES IT

Back in the days when I was a kid, completely scared of the Submerged Castle cause I didn't know what to expect in this "dungeon", and the Waterwraith suddenly dropped from the ceiling with this creepy music... I really almost pissed myself out of panic cause I didn't know what to do about him and he kept killing my pikmin.. So I decided to hide in the pipes until he wasn't around anymore :'D

They knew exactly what they were doing with this one, especially considering they made a specific music track for this cave

Tips for anyone worried about facing this thing: -Zoom the camera all the way out so you can easily see where the Waterwraith is. -If it gets close to you, swarm your pikmin against a wall until it goes past you. -Bring some bitter sprays incase it gets too close, the Waterwraith is effected by them.

7:46 Congratulations you paid the debt

Doing this without the lightbulb is mighty impressive in of itself

I feel like playing through this whole game just to play the submerged castle is worth it. Not to say that the rest of the game isn’t enjoyable, but this cave is an experience and a half.

One does not simply 100% this cave with zero Pikmin dieing

Pikmin 4 brings back this nightmarish cave. But, thankfully, Oatchi can help make it less of a torture if you know how to use his abilities well.

For those of you who say beating "Through the Fire and Flames" on expert 100% is hard, you have never experienced true pain and difficulty until you've tried doing this.

First time I played this cave I knew nothing about the time limit. The wraith dropped and when I tell you I left the cave SO FAST

The first time I played this game, after my initial oh shit reaction to the Water Wraith my immediate second thought was that I thought of the most Scooby Doo-esue name possible for this thing, Creepy Roller. So what's a person to do but scream Zoinks and ran away from that thing.

pikmin 2 is still one of my favourite games of all time.

How in the... alright this deserves a sub.

See this video is like watch a speed run of dark souls

Olimar: WHAT A FASCINATING CREATURE!!!! Louie: food.

13:33 SUPPORT UNIT DROPPING IN

I recently started playing Pikmin 2 again and had serious problem with this dungeon and you do everything so flawlessly T_T :D

It's worth mentioning that every sublevel except the final one has 3 treasures

Man, I remember one time, I was on sublevel 3 and I took too long and the waterwraith spawned on me. However, it spawned DIRECTLT ON TOP OF ME, seriously harming and trapping Olimar and killing most of my Pikmin under it. Unlucky me...

My first water-wraith experience. I was in sub-level one, and I knew about the devil (water-wraith). I didn’t though know it could spawn on the first floor. So I took my sweet time. When I was finished getting the loot, I wanted to get this egg next too two geysers, and a small water-pond. Just as I was going to get the egg. It came..... now I didn’t really care because I knew a lot about him, but then I noticed in the cutscene the two geysers, and tiny pond. The water-wraith spawned RIGHT ON TOP OF ME. I lost most of my Pikmin. (Had 100 blues), and was left with 9. It was a great first experience. I had to reset of course. So all that time was wasted, all because of a stupid egg I didn’t really need.

3:44 Careening Dirigibug: Hiya Louie! Do you want a balloon?

I feel like they put the white pikmin there to try and trick people into thinking it'll help them get treasure faster, but really its just to make things more difficult to make sure they don't drown or anything ...Or its just my thinking, idk Epic gameplay btw! Very skilled

13:32) *_OH LAWD HE COMIN'!_*

interestingly enough, a speedrun I saw of this game covered a strategy with the Floor 2 Dweevils. By using the napsack, they can pick up your captain, and they will ignore the treasures.

8:24, wow, how am i just now finding out the bitter spray can cock block an airborn wollywog's attack

My goodness, just looking at this dreaded cave reminds me of the day when Chuggaa had to go through this as well. XD

This video is obviously clickbait, this is an unachievable feat.

The Water Wraith was brilliant, loved how the music goes skewy when it shows up.

I love that the Submerged Castle is really scary and dangerous. But the treasures are all low value cookies and foodstuff. Why are we still here? Just to suffer?!

0:42 It can spawn in the water.

I almost got a no death run on this cave, but the thing that killed my Pikmin was the Wollywog. Waterwraith didn't even show up at all.

This is the penultimate cave I will do in Pikmin 2. The last one is obviously the Dream Den.

very irritating to me that in pikmin, if a pikmin is lit on fire, running into water does not put them out

When I played Pikmin 2 The waterwraith got stuck in a dead end with a treasure so I had to finish the dungun and go back but on the bright side I got closer to 100 purples for the Wistful Wilds 1000 Pikmin treasure.

Chuggacconoroy would suffer less through this dungeon with this vid.

13:32 the fbi on their way to my house after trying out those club penguin coin cheats

i love how right at the first level the game already tells you to get the fuck out

Honestly one of the best pikmin videos on RU-vid. Such a legendary cave and you managed to get through it with ease. Sure you can learn the routes or enemies, but no matter what it feels a little random each time…

i know what happens after death! *THE WATERWRAITH HUNTS YOU DOWN FOR ETERNITY*

For me, the WW only came on the 3rd floor (he obviously came on the final), but the encounter was HORRIFYING! He spawned LITERALLY right next to me, as I was carrying back the tiny swirl cookie. But I came up with a strategy: Swarm the Pikmin to the edge of the wall so the WW ignores me. It worked, as he turned and left. Then, I took the opportunity to use the max Pikmin to carry back the cookie while the President acts as a diversion to the WW so he doesn’t run the Pikmin over. That actually worked, as the Pikmin got the treasure safely and I got to the exit hole with the President to evade the WW. Even though I did some good quick thinking, but that ordeal was TOTALLY SCARY!

Incredible tutorial!!! I always dread this cave but I just got through it without losing all my pikmin for once 😂 I only made contact with the water wraith once during the levels, which I’m stoked about!!! Definitely still stressful as ever, but I love now knowing I can beat this guy!

Yo first time I got to that invisible boss this spawning out of nowhere. Steamrolled like 90 pikmin. I freaking jumped off the couch RAN TO THE GAMECUBE AND PRESSED RESET.... that bastard almost got away with it

Wow you're a lot braver than me. Starting at Sublevel 3 I basically had all my blues in a place where the Water Wraith couldn't get them and used my bulb min to clear the floor. Problem was I only had 15 of them since I wanted to turn them into Whites and Purple Pikmin. :')

Fun fact: If you use cheats to give all Pikmin immunity to drowning, the game will STILL refuse to allow you into this cave. The cave is coded so that ONLY Blue Pikmin are allowed to enter.

This cave gives me the willies thinking about it

Oh. So this is how I find out you don't need a Pikmin to be in your party for them to continue to the next level

when you listen to the game is good but when you listen to the naked ost...

i wish there was a mod made so you could bring them to the surface and have a special onion for them

One way or another,we all have to face this dungeon no matter how terrifying it is.

When you transformed the bulbmin into white and purple pikmin, the pikmin deaths at the end of the cave results should say “-15” because you transformed pretty much non existing pikmin out side the cave into pikmin that can go outside.

thank you so much for this vid, it’s extremely helpful

Deviled ham? More like STEAMED hams! Hope your ready for an unforgettable luncheon, Louie!

(SPOILERS FOR PIKMIN 4 >>>>>) Just got to the entrance to the 'Engulfed Castle'. I saw it was underwater and thought no way is that gonna be what I think it is and my god it clearly is. It's back.

Thank you for these guides omg they are incredibly helpful! This cave is going to be a nightmare for me because i love taking my time lol

This.. This is the place that ended my run

That music though it's scary af

Playing the the first floor damn well knowing what’s coming is the most scary thing in a pg game

I never thought it could be done... You sir, deserve an award.

This is something that I thought was impossible

I used to collect everything wow I didn't fear this lvl but tysm for video! I almost nvr used the sprays either but wow ty for the tip on not bringing so many Pikmin so I can hv the bulbmins I always wondered y some wouldn't hv babies! Plus I didn't know they were immune to every hazard! Wow u r good at getting all the leaf Pikmin in the nectar.

Super helpful walkthrough, thank yo so much!

This is defininitely not the hardest cave in Pikmin 2, but it is by FAR the most nerve wracking.

6:31 You can kinda hear the ship saying “Cushion”

Pikmin 1 Best beginning Pikmin 2 Best ever Pikmin 3 Best looking Hey pikmin We don't talk about hey pikmin

this is when pikmin turns from a kids game, to a horror game scarier than silent hill

The song isn't as creepy with the gameplay itself, but damn by itself...

this is incredible. im in awe.

after a lot of years I finally found out why I couldn't pass this level.... the Water Wraith before the final sublevel let me lose all my hopes as a child haha

What the!?! Did Louie turn 2 enemies into stone when he burped 8:23

I miss the times I bingeplayed pikmin on my GameCube.

“I HAD TO SAY IT! I JUST HAD TO SAY IT! YOU. SUCK!” - Chuggaconroy screaming at the water wraith

Sub level 1 has fire hazards Sub level 2 has water hazards (which isn’t a problem) Sub level 3 has electricity hazards Sub level 4 has poison hazards (and bombs) Finale level has purple pikmin WHERE YOU CAN DESTROY THE WATER WRAITH FOR REVENGE FOR SO MANY LOST PIKMIN Also almost all the treasures are dessert themed

Every time a treasure collection cutscene plays in this cave I tense up.

In my search for information on what the genuine heck is so scary about the Water Wraith, I found out that your video here made it onto the page on the Villains Wiki about this abomination. So congratulations on the honor!!

in the back of my head I’m like “youre taking too long!!!”

Thank you for saving the others and my plant minion Darwin💙

This is what i remember from this part when I was little. Me yelling "LOUIS NO THE LAWNMOWER GUY WILL CRUSH YOU AND YOUR 50 BLUE PIKMIN" with my older brother watching me play.

Watching chugga play the submerged castle......ah memories

Meanwhile me: goes in with 100 blue comes out with 3 purple.

"What is this?!? I can see it with my optical receptors, but my sensors cannot detect it!" "Could its physical form be anchored in another dimension? ...Attacking it is futile!" "If only we could force it to take on physical form... But in its current state... Krzzzt-zrrrk!" "Danger! Danger! Danger!" Very fitting words, SS Dolphin 1.

President: "Hey guys! In your report, you mentioned something about a Submerged Castle. What was that like?" Olimar: "We don't talk about that."

18:05 between a bomb rock and a wet place. Seriously though, amazing job on this one. Caves might not have been the most popular edition to Pikmin but I miss the challenging hazards. The Wraith reminds me of the Reaper from Persona 3.

Canonically Louie entered this cave, that's why the president keeps sending him and olimar back

I wish we could bring the Bulbmin with us when we exit the cave. I feel bad leaving them behind...

Quite the tale to tell with this one, was stuck in sublevel 4 with 2 bulbmin breaking open to the next level (all my blues and other bulbmin died of bombrock earlier in the level), and waterwraith was rapidly approaching. The cave opened just as the waterwraith cornered me, and I jumped into sublevel 5 with much fear, before seeing final sublevel on my screen. I then killed waterwraith with the 2 bulbmin who became purple pikmin.

I swear submerged castle is scarier than 90% of the five nights at Freddy's games...

They said it could not be done. And he proved them otherwise. He is now remembered for centuries in the hall of champions. RAID:submerged castle.

13:30 speak of the devil, and he shall appear.
