There’s a daunting Blue Onion on the prime of a hill in Pikmin 4’s first degree, the Solar-Speckled Terrace. You may get it earlier than you get to the subsequent elements of the sport, however you’ll need to plan very properly.
After unlocking just a few issues, you’ll be able to seize the Blue Onion. There’s one other Blue Onion within the sport’s third space that’s straightforward to get, however if you would like swimming Blue Pikmin early, you’ll be able to unlock them through the use of our course of beneath. There is perhaps a neater approach to do that, however that is what we did.
Step 1: Save Russ from ‘Final-Frost Cavern’ and unlock Oatchi’s expertise
You do want to finish the primary cave you run into on the Solar-Speckled Terrace, “Final-Frost Cavern.” Russ, the inventor, is in it, and also you’ll want his building talents.
You’ll additionally need to have Oatchi’s expertise unlocked. These unlocked at round day three for us (the identical day we saved Russ). We’re undecided if Oatchi’s talents correlate to Russ’ rescue or if it’s static on day three. You need to have the flexibility to trip Oatchi, which ought to unlock concurrently along with his coaching.
Step 2: Have no less than 50 Pikmin energy
You may select the way you need to accomplish this. Together with the 2 Flarlic you may get to increase your Pikmin depend in Solar-Speckled Terrace, it’s best to have the ability to maintain 40 Pikmin, however you’ll want 50 whole Pikmin energy to seize the Blue Onion. Both of the next choices will work:
- Acquire 1,500 Sparklium to unlock the second space, Blossoming Arcadia, and seize sufficient Flarlic so you’ll be able to carry no less than 50 Pikmin.
- Use Oatchi’s ability factors to coach him to have the ability of no less than 10 Pikmin.
In case you are making an attempt to get the Blue Onion earlier than shifting on to the second space, you’ll want to coach Oatchi. You get Oatchi ability factors for rescuing stranded explorers, so that you’ll need to do just a few caves to energy him up.
Step 3: Acquire 30 Ice Pikmin
You’ll get 10 Ice Pikmin from “Final-Frost Cavern” and you’ll seize one other 20 from “Hectic Hollows,” which is positioned within the southeast nook of Solar-Speckled Terrace, up a ledge. You’ll want Oatchi to have the ability to soar up there to get inside.
Step 4: Begin your Blue Onion rescue mission
After you have 30 Ice Pikmin, the flexibility to construct, and 50 Pikmin energy, you can begin your rescue.
First, throw 30 Ice Pikmin into this small pond to freeze it absolutely. Then use any coloration of Pikmin to construct the wall subsequent to the pond, so you’ll be able to climb up. Your Pikmin could need to take a number of journeys, relying on what number of Flarlic you collected in step two.
As soon as the wall is constructed, use Pink Pikmin to take out the Fiery Blowhog guarding the Blue Onion, which you’ll see half buried within the dust. After killing the monster, ship your 10 Pink Pikmin to start out digging out the Blue Onion.
[Ed. note: If you went the Flarlic route in step two, you can just instruct your extra 20 Pikmin to carry the Blue Onion to the hub and you can ignore these extra steps. If you powered up Oatchi instead, keep reading.]
Now soar right down to this ledge and whistle to get your Ice Pikmin again with you, unfreezing the pond. Shortly climb again up the wall and throw 10 of your Ice Pikmin to the Blue Onion. Mixed with the ten Pink Pikmin, they’ll begin shifting it, however will get caught on a small ledge, the place they received’t have the ability to cross as a result of the pond isn’t frozen.
Whistle to recall all of your Pikmin and throw 30 Ice Pikmin again into the pond, refreezing it. Go choose up Oatchi the place he’s ready by the wall and hop on his again. Bounce up the tiny ledge and instruct Oatchi and your Pink Pikmin to take the Blue Onion again to the mom Onion.
That’s all there’s to it. As talked about at the start of this information, there’s one other Blue Onion within the third space (Serene Shores), so that you don’t even actually have to get this Onion if you happen to don’t need to need to math it out. You too can come again later as soon as you’ll be able to carry extra Pikmin to make the method a lot simpler.
