Starting Day 6 - At the Rescue Command Post
After completing Exploration Day 5, you'll have a few more people that have joined the Rescue Command Post. This will mean that the Rescue Command Post has to be expanded to accommodate all the new people!
This will reward you with 20 Raw Material, and a spaceship will be found half-buried in the ground. We're heading back to the Blossoming Arcadia for Exploration Day 6, so here's what you need to do in the Rescue Command Post before you go:
- Speak to Schnauz. At this point, you'll have completed Appraisal Frenzy 1 and can start Appraisal Frenzy 2.
- Speak to Dalmo. You'll also have completed All the Little Darlings 1, and can begin All the Little Darlings 2.
- Speak to Pitunia. This begins the Side Mission Fusing Onions. As you've already collected a few, you'll have cleared Fusing Onions 1 and 2, and can skip right on to 3.
- Speak to Francois. This will begin the Side Mission: begins Grow the Pikming Population (continuous mission)
- Speak to Russ. Pick up the Prototype for a Mine. We'd recommend picking up Idler's Alert and Tuff Stuff for Oatchi and restocking on bombs. You'll also find that new gear is available including:
- Idler’s Alert
- Anti-Electrifier
- Anti-Electrifier for Oatchi
- Rush Boots
- Homesick Signal
- Thermal Defense
- Thermal Defense for Oatchi
- Brace Boots
- Speak to Shepherd. Get Super Buff Lv. 3 and Chomp LV. 2
All Rescues, Treasures, and Sublevel Caves: Day 6
Below is a quick summary of all the treasures and rescues you'll be able to find on this day. You can find the step-by-step Walkthrough on how to do this further down the page.

Back at Blossoming Arcadia
When your return to Blossoming Arcadia, you should land back near the water (where you collected the Flaric earlier). Captain Shepherd will contact you with an update, which is that Oatchi can now use Doggie-Paddle and swim in the water. All Pikmin that are on his back will be safe when swimming.
Go towards the water and have the Blue Pikmin collect the boat that floats in it.

Now go back in the opposite direction and over to the east, towards the Paper Bag you lowered after the Sightless Passage. Just to the right of the Paper Bag is a mound of dirt that you can excavate to find a Golf Ball treasure.
Orbital Communication Sphere

Go up the Paper Bag and attack the creature at the top. This will drop your next treasure.

Then go to the end of this ledge, and throw Yellow Pikmin up to collect it.

Go back down the Paper Bag and take the path in the opposite direction from where you've just come from. As you make your way up the path, another frog will appear from the ground near the flowers. Use an Ice Bomb or Rock Bomb here to quickly take it down.
Continue towards the breakable-looking objects and charge at them with Oatchi. These will transform into mushrooms that you can use as a bridge.
Have the Pikmin build the climbing wall just to the right and then go through the mushrooms with Oatchi and the rest of the Pikmin.
Drop down onto the lower path and pick up the candy dummy Treasure. Get 3 Pikmin to take the candy dummy, take out the birds, and pick up the Raw Material piles.
Sticky Jewel

Sticky Jewel - Blossoming Arcadia
Make your way back around to the climbing wall and go up it. At the top, kill the creature and it will drop another treasure.
Searing Acidshock
Searing Acidshock - Blossoming Arcadia
Just behind it, is another Dandori cave so jump inside.
Rockaway Cellars
Collect all the treasures and creatures within 7 minutes. This cave features Red Pikmin and Rock Pikmin. As always, the best strategy is to find the additional groups of Pikmin available in the cave and then begin to break down the walls to create shortcuts. Have the Red Pikmin remove any creatures that attack with fire, and get the Rock Pikmin to destroy the crystal walls.
After completing the cave, you'll be able to transport the fifth Leafling back to the S.S. Beagle. Then cross the mushroom bridge and have your Ice Pikmin destroy the wall.

Once inside, have your Yellow Pikmin dig up the mound and reveal the next cave for you to go in. Before you jump down, however, go to the right and excavate the pile of dirt to get hold of another Bomb Rock—you're gonna need them.
Kingdom of Beasts
This is one of the bigger caves with a total of six levels to it. Thankfully, each stage is quite small. But we'd recommend taking in plenty of Ultra-Spicy Spray, Bomb Rocks, Ice Rocks, plus whatever else you prefer to have in your arsenal. If you don't have Rock Pikmin at this point, that's fine! You can collect Rock Pikmin from inside the cave, and you'll have enough to get you through.
Kingdom of Beasts Level 1

When you land in Kingdom of Beasts, send a few Pikmin to the right to extinguish the flames and the rest (plus Oatchi) to the left to break down the wall. As soon as the wall is down, continue along this path and extinguish the sizzling floor.
Use Oatchi to rush at the big spotted creature while it sleeps and surprise it with an attack. Just to the left is a shrub where you can pluck some more Red Pikmin, and behind the creature is your first treasure of the cave.
Flaky Temptation

Continue along the path to the second big dotted creature. To the right, in the pot, you can find the next treasure but deal with the creature first and then come back to collect it.
Memory Fragment (Bottom Right)

Go left from the pot and break the wall, then collect the pile of Raw Material. With the wall broken down, and all Treasures obtained, you can hop down into the second level.
Kingdom of Beasts Level 2
When you start Level 2, you'll be able to see the Rock Pikmin fighting another spotted creature in the distance. Head there immediately to pick them up and get them started on breaking down the crystal wall to the right, once you've beaten the creature.
Go right from the wall, and be careful of the mites in the shrub as you go past. Then continue on to find more spotted creatures, and even more Rock Pikmin! Fight the creatures and get these Rock Pikmin to break down the wall on the left. Behind it, you'll find the next Treasure in this cave.
Ambiguous Goo
Ambiguous Goo
Go along the rest of the path, and get the Raw Material from the pile on the left. Have the Rock Pikmin break down the crystal wall on the right as you pass, giving you a shortcut back to the S.S. Beagle.
Work around to the next dotted creature and then go into what looks like a dead-end to the left of it. Dig here to find the next treasure. With the final treasure safely returned, jump down into Level 3.

Anxious Sprout

Kingdom of Beasts Level 3

This level is a mini-boss fight. As you enter, you'll see the big worm-like creature in the arena. The only Pikmin you'll want to use in this fight is the Rock Pikmin. They can't be crushed and killed by the monster, so they can take the hits. The creature will roll back and forth, over the Pikmin. Use your Whistle to get them unstuck, and then keep attacking.
When it's defeated, the worm will drop the next Castaway.
Yonny the Doctor
Yonny
With Yonny saved, you can finally start to cure those Leaflings but for now, you have 3 more levels of the cave to go. As you head towards the end of Level 3, there will also be three Treasures for you to collect.
Disk of Joyous Wisdom x 3
Disk of Joyous Wisdom - Kingdom of Beasts
With the last treasure on the level snagged, and the Castaway rescued, it's time to go down to Level 4.

Kingdom of Beasts Level 4
Go left at the start of level 4 and follow it until you reach the flames. Extinguish them, then get the 20 Gold Nuggets from the Plant Pot on the left.
Gold Nuggets x 20
Gold Nugget - Kingdom of Beasts
Follow the path up to the spotty brown and white creature, and defeat it to get hold of the Rock Pikmin. Go right and use 20 Pikmin to lower the bridge, then throw the Rock Pikmin at the crystal wall on the left.
This will reveal a path that only Oatchi can go through, so send him in. Switch to playing as Oatchi, then jump on the button to lower the iron bars. Turn around and get the Rubber Duck that was stuck behind the fence opposite the pipe.
Planetary Rubber Cutie

Go back to where you started the level, then turn left and take out the creatures in this section of the cave. Defeating the giant one will also reveal the next treasure in the cave - a huge Candy Cane.
Sweet Stumble-Not
Sweet Stumble-Not - Kingdom of Beasts
Extinguish the fire by the tunnel to the next level once the treasure has been recovered and jump down to level 5.

Kingdom of Beasts Level 5
On Level 5, go right and have the Rock Pikmin break down the wall. Then go left and follow the group of black and red dotted creatures. Pick up the pile of Raw Material that's in the plant pot as you pass, but attack the group quickly to swiftly take them down.
When the big one has been defeated, it will drop 3 die.
Chance Totem x 3
Chance Totem - Kingdom of Beasts
Break down the next crystal wall using Rock Pikmin, and press the switch. Then go left, and excavate the next treasure.
Crew-Cut Gourd

Continue along the path until you reach the Rock Pikmin fighting the final creature on this level. Defeat it, then collect the cookie to find the last treasure on this level.
Cookie of Prosperity

With level 5 complete, you can now more on the sixth and final level of the Kingdom of Beasts.
Kingdom of Beasts Level 6
The final sublevel will see you battle two beasts. But they can actually be dealt with quite quickly if you have a Rock Bomb or Ice Bomb. Try to wake just one of them at a time, by throwing Pikmin on top of one.
Lure it towards you so it prepares to attack, and as soon as its tongue comes out, throw the bomb at it. Then prepare to Rush and attack with all of your Pikmin and Oatchi. You should only have to hit each one once to take them down. After the fight, they'll drop Puddle and you can carry the Castaway back to safety.

When the gate is lowered, head to the other side of the room and up the ramp. Extinguish the flames to reach the last treasure in this cave, which is the statue at the top.
Ancient Statue Head

Leave the cave and return to the surface.
Back at the Surface of Blossoming Arcadia
Drop down to the right from the cave. To the right, before the creature is a wall. Break this down, then attack the creature. Behind it is a small alcove. You can find the next treasure here.
Floral Instigator

Go to the left and have Yellow Pikmin dig up the mound of dirt. Follow the path up and use 10 Pikmin to push down the Paper Bag. Now go to the right and pull the Yellow Onion from the dirt using 20 Pikmin.

Then use your Yellow Pikmin to break down the electric fence. Turn back around and attack the flying creature, then pick up the pile of Raw Material while the electric fence is being broken down. At this point, you'll want to move your base to the closest one next to you to make it easier for all the Pikmin to return things before the end of the day.
Run back up to the broken electric gate, and go inside to defeat the creature. After this, return to the base and end the day.
