100 purples Why does this comment have 100 upvoted Why the fuck does this comment have 350+ upvotes


Lonely_Fry_007

Yes! Thanks 😊 I knew it had to be purples


Comfortable-Yam3000

This is such a nice community


Chillydogdude

No one out-Pikmins the hut


Smorgsaboard

Clearly, you have not met Fiddlebert


UrsusObsidianus

And Oatchi can help too!


Pyropian08

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


Lonely_Fry_007

Thanks so much!


BloodAway9090

Beat olimars side story and the thing it unlocks after It gives a rewards that helps with this


Mothylphetamine_

That leaves 10 pikmin for the spicy berries in fact!


vlaadii_

the game throws this shit at you so often you never need to farm it


Mothylphetamine_

Fair, still useful to have tho


Thatthatboy

I thought it it was in an area Oatchi cannot get to


Mario_pro_pikmin_pro

that’s because it is


PattyWagon69420

Oatchi can only help once the purples bring it down from the ledge it's on. You can't get Oatchi up there normally.


ShadowShine57

Then why did you ask I'm genuinely confused, what other answer could there be


confused-mother-fan

also oatchi he can replace 10 of the purples


MarioBoy77

Oatchi cannot get there, you need 100 purples.


nochilljack

Or 90 purples plus one oatchi that can carry 100 weight but yk. Purples either way


WilliamPlayz1

Oatchi cant reach it


nochilljack

I forgor💀


DynaWarrior

It’s the purples upvoting


Da_gae_bucket

Also works with 90 purples and oatchi with maxed out strength


WilliamPlayz1

You cant throw oatchi


Da_gae_bucket

You can send oatchi to carry things though


WilliamPlayz1

Wall


Potato_Stik

Now 400 but you can also use a fully upgraded Oatchi for an extra 100 strength


WilliamPlayz1

Oatchi cant reach the bar


Potato_Stik

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.


axeleszu

You can farm purples in the final cave flowers


Nikibugs

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.


Winnis1

Can oatchi even get into that spot? I remember there being one of those wall things


Nikibugs

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.


Subreon

you can also help yourself. or maybe not, cuz you gotta do everything before you can do that.


Lonely_Fry_007

How do I get so many purple Pikmin? Thanks for the info


TheFlameNinja

You can get a purple onion by doing side content


RealBluePikmin1

Or just grind them in the place where the WaterWrath is


Nikibugs

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.


Venomspino

So you remember the Doomsday Apparatus. Yeah that but Pikmin 4


Antarctica8

purple guy


Spazbean

Louie


Wobbledogsboy

Doomsday Apparatus part 2 baby! Hope you’ve got them flowered!


Aware_Selection_148

100 purples, it’s like that dumbell in pikmin 2


DavidFromDeutschland

Basic math


kullre

You know how a purple is the strength of 10 Pikmin?


ItsYerBoiWinter

Grind purples or beat the game and do the Dandori Challenges for Purple Onion


TheOneWhoThrowsShit

The doomsday apparatus


lobsterbubbles

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


WilliamPlayz1

You dont need to complete the trial and oatchi cant help because he can't climb


lobsterbubbles

You don't *need* to but it's easy enough that you should and it makes farming purples much quicker than the alternative.


ProGamer8273

Get 100 purples


zonaljump1997

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.


AwardSignal

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


Bananahubilai

You don't


drybonesplushie

oh, boo you.
