If only beating this bastard was as easy as popping a bubble, maybe he wouldn’t have caused gamers so many nightmares. In fact, maybe this is why everyone hated bubble buddy so much, they had just played this game and seeing him reminded them of this hell, causing them to become irrationally angry
As someone who has not played any of the Pikmin games, this is utterly terrifying and gave me a shit ton of anxiety. I cannot imagine playing it for real. Looks hella fun though
I got to it for the first time today (playing blind), unknowing of the hell that would come afterwards and yeah no it increases your heart rate substantially
Jesus loves you and died and rose again for your sins. He wants to save you, all you have to do is ask Him to and trust in Him. John 3:16 Romans 8:35-39
This and the Man at Legs are the scariest enemies in any game I’ve ever had to fight. I’ll never forget the horror on my face as I whiteness my little army of Purple Pikmin get shot down one by one by the Man at Legs. I saw each of them trip and die, it’s engraved into my mind. I felt like I was in a horror movie playing this level. There’s no way to describe this guy, you can only experience it
Well kiss yourself goodbye, because both of them returned in 4. Although they are nerfed directly and indirectly, they still are capable of wiping out your squad if you are caught off guard.
@@lance6042waterwraith is super slow now and also dumber with his pathfinding and oatchi makes the man at legs fight trivial (sad that they didn't think of having you fight it without oatchi for a rematch)
@@somerandomguy-3102water wraith also thinner and much easer to slip past in halls specifically cause your also smaller all grouped onto dog He shoulda been wider so you can't just walk beside him to get around in long halls or corners
Came back to this and remember watching this years ago, loving the text commentary. The "wubble, wibble wubble" part was and still is my favorite part. Also, that good ol thumbnail.
I dodged a bullet by not playing this cave as a kid. I looked at the hazards and said NOPE. If I would've played this back then I probably been traumatized. Lol
I wish I got the chance. I only got this game wayyyy later even though I adored the original. Couldn’t find it in stores sadly. This video was actually my first time playing the cave.
This one creature is what gave everyone PTSDs. From being invincible, to crushing your squad within seconds, to having a time limit when you are in the other levels.
One of the actual reasons this became so popular suddenly (at least my reason for clicking this) is that the channel Stephenplays is doing an LP of Pikmin 2 blind. And they're currently having a lot of "fun" in the submerged castle. It made me familiar with the place and probably reminded people who played this before of its existence. That mixed in with the somewhat funny text you've placed all over have made this video popular.
OP, you perfectly captured my experience: having to hold down the fort long enough to haul treasure while being mercilessly hunted is the peak experience. I love how you admitted that it gave you chills despite knowing and spoiling everything about it in the game. It's simply an experience that cannot merely be watched. You have to SEE IT.
I've never laughed so hard in my life when seeing someone playing the Submerged Castle stage. You're incredibly hilarious and awesome and you really made my day 😂😊😍
Little advice: get one leader to stand near the hole and collect everything as fast as you can. Don't bring 100 blues or else you'll get less bulbmin, and trust me, bulbmin are VERY important. Unless you need to, don't use the ivory candypop bud. Bulbmin already are immune to poison. Throw the bulbmin into the purple buds at the bottom and only use the purples. Throw, whistle, repeat. EDIT: Forgot two things. If the waterwraith gets close, throw your pikmin to high ground. Also, I didn't come up with all this, someone else did. I don't remember their channel name but they managed to no death submerged castle, so clearly they know some good crap.
I really liked how you actually tried to save any Pikmin you could! Also I liked how you referenced how he has the McDonald’s treasure before he it actually showed with a fat joke, that’s funny!
Two useful tips that make encountering the water wraith a breeze. 1. It will chase the leading captain 2. It won't attack you if you're in a tight corner. Split your captains across the map (one in a safe corner with most of your pikmin). Switch captains to manipulate the wraith as your pikmin carry back treasure. Use these to your ability because this makes I'm the submerged castle much easier.
I LOVE the music getting confused at the middle point of the fight! It starts the end music and is cut off by it not being dead! Little humorous things like that get me.
4:17 When the Bond music kicked in, you ascended in videographic perfection. The only thing I wish you could have done was kept the Waterwraith's sound effects while you played it.
It's been twenty years. Twenty years. To this day, the entirety of the "Pikmin II" Waterwraith's saga is in my mind. It was pure Hitchcock suspense: heart racing, anxiety, constantly running... I was prey, pursued by the ultimate Yabba Dabba Do hunter. There were no jump scares or body horror. It was simply using your emotions and the feeling of being hunted. I still remember the simultaneous death cry of half my Pikmin being run over by his Fred Flintstone Car. I lost a LOT of Bulbmin to that, too. Twenty years later, it is STILL engraved in my mind. I was recounting it, in perfect detail, to my grandmother a few days ago. She asked me how I could recall it with such clarity. I asked her if she remembered any Hitchcock film she watched. She said yes, she knew EXACTLY what I felt when facing down the Waterwraith, but she couldn't recount the gruesome details of being on the edge of her seat. I could. I always will. * *SPOILERS BELOW* * -but the karma... oh, the beautiful karma of watching the Waterwraith run around like an obese, headless chicken was worth all the heart racing. I drew it out, making him suffer. Just taking my time to watch him cry and squirm. I loved the Purple Pikmin making him cry.
The Water Wraith spawns in after five minutes has passed upon entering the sublevel. Thankfully in my most recent playthrough I was fast enough to collect all of the treasures before this guy shows up.
Played through Pikmin 2 again recently and got all the way to the last floor without the Water Wraith spawning. I don't think I have ever been more scared than those 15 minutes
Honestly as I was redoing this level to get the treasure I left behind I just kinda watched as the water wraith ran around after I destroyed his rollers. Just soaking in the fear he was experiencing, but I spared him that time because I realized that he was experiencing the same feeling as I did all those years ago when I first went into there and frankly I felt sorry for him
I was listening to the soundtrack of the Submerged Castle, was in the mood of watching people shart themselves while playing it, looked it up, thumbnail caught my attention 👌👌👌
What about the smokey progg in the distant spring in pikmin 1? It's a completely optional boss fight, but it's supposed to be one of the hardest in the game
When I went to the watery hell my heart was pumping a lot because when i was 5 i went in there and saw mr bubble man on his stone bike and he crushed all my pikmin but i came back when i was 12 Im 12 right now
Super NES Gamer I can relate. I got here when I was maybe... 6? And failed at the end of sublevel four. Didn't know how much left there was so I gave up. Last year I took the time to google it. Saw five floors. Grabbed the Wii and beat the fucker... 76 deaths :/
the water wraith ALWAYS nearby you or the largest group of pikmin so all you can do is watch in horror as it crushes maybe 30 of 'em who were trying to transport treasure 😟
