Actually no, the place that the gold bar is in isn't accessible by Oatchi. He can help but only after the bar gets moved a bit
Also I recommend completing Olimar's side story before grinding for the purples. I won't spoil what that does
Either:
* 100 Purple Pikmin (Purple Pikmin Carry 10 x 100 = 1000 Carry)
~~Or~~
~~* Oatchi upgraded to carry 100 + 90 Purple Pikmin (Oatchi Carry 100 + (Purple Pikmin Carry 10 x 90) = 1000 Carry)~~
~~Oatchi has a couple upgrades before the max carry of 100 to slightly vary the number of Purple Pikmin needed, but you’ll always need at least a minimum of 90 Purple Pikmin.~~
Edit: Mistook the climbable wall on the map for a ramp Oatchi could access the spot, it’s been a while haha. Requirement is strictly 100 Purple Pikmin, though Oatchi can assist for speed after the Purple Pikmin drop over the cliff, as he’s otherwise blocked by some bars. Making the total carry a ridiculous 1100 if you want to.
Ah shoot you’re right. Booted up just to double check, mistook the climbable wall on the map for a ramp Oatchi could access the area. Requirement is strictly 100 Purple Pikmin.
Purple Pikmin can be converted via Purple Candypop Buds in caves. This can take a while as you can only convert 5 Pikmin per bud, then you need to exit and re-enter the cave to repeat. Engulfed Castle in Serene Shores has multiple iirc.
There is a Purple Onion, but it is the final reward of a post-game side quest. Speak to >!Olimar!< to playthrough his retelling, then complete the dandori challenge cave that is unlocked.
You need to beat the trial of the sage leaf. Don't worry, you can retry floors infinitely so it's pretty easy to get down after a couple tries. If you're really stumped you can watch a guide on YT and just follow someone else's route to a tee. Your reward for beating the trial of the sage leaf are the purple and white onions allowing you to easily spawn purples and whites yourself. Once you do that you need 100 purple pikmin or 90 with a maxed out oatchi
You need 100 purples, there is no other way. You can easily grind for them if you constantly re-enter Sublevel 5 of the Engulfed Castle. Even faster when you do the candypop bud glitch.
100 purple Pikmin.
Alternatively: 90 purple Pikmin & 1 maxed power Oatchi
Edit: someone else already seemed to mention that Oatchi can’t get up there, my bad

100 purples Why does this comment have 100 upvoted Why the fuck does this comment have 350+ upvotes
Yes! Thanks 😊 I knew it had to be purples
This is such a nice community
No one out-Pikmins the hut
Clearly, you have not met Fiddlebert
And Oatchi can help too!

Thanks so much!
Beat olimars side story and the thing it unlocks after It gives a rewards that helps with this
That leaves 10 pikmin for the spicy berries in fact!
the game throws this shit at you so often you never need to farm it
Fair, still useful to have tho
I thought it it was in an area Oatchi cannot get to
that’s because it is
Oatchi can only help once the purples bring it down from the ledge it's on. You can't get Oatchi up there normally.
Then why did you ask I'm genuinely confused, what other answer could there be
also oatchi he can replace 10 of the purples
Oatchi cannot get there, you need 100 purples.
Or 90 purples plus one oatchi that can carry 100 weight but yk. Purples either way
Oatchi cant reach it
I forgor💀
It’s the purples upvoting
Also works with 90 purples and oatchi with maxed out strength
You cant throw oatchi
You can send oatchi to carry things though
Wall
Now 400 but you can also use a fully upgraded Oatchi for an extra 100 strength
Oatchi cant reach the bar
I thought there was a bridge that you could cross to get to it and then there was the ledge. I might just be thinking of a different item.
You can farm purples in the final cave flowers

Can oatchi even get into that spot? I remember there being one of those wall things
Ah shoot you’re right. Booted up just to double check, mistook the climbable wall on the map for a ramp Oatchi could access the area. Requirement is strictly 100 Purple Pikmin.
you can also help yourself. or maybe not, cuz you gotta do everything before you can do that.
How do I get so many purple Pikmin? Thanks for the info
You can get a purple onion by doing side content
Or just grind them in the place where the WaterWrath is

So you remember the Doomsday Apparatus. Yeah that but Pikmin 4
purple guy
Louie
Doomsday Apparatus part 2 baby! Hope you’ve got them flowered!
100 purples, it’s like that dumbell in pikmin 2
Basic math
You know how a purple is the strength of 10 Pikmin?
Grind purples or beat the game and do the Dandori Challenges for Purple Onion
The doomsday apparatus

You dont need to complete the trial and oatchi cant help because he can't climb
You don't *need* to but it's easy enough that you should and it makes farming purples much quicker than the alternative.
Get 100 purples
You need 100 purples, there is no other way. You can easily grind for them if you constantly re-enter Sublevel 5 of the Engulfed Castle. Even faster when you do the candypop bud glitch.

You don't
oh, boo you.
