Master Day 5 of Pikmin 3 Deluxe! Defeat the Vehemoth Phosbat, collect Ultra Spicy Spray, and retrieve five essential fruits in the Distant Tundra.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Begin by sending a captain with Pikmin to the Ultra Spicy Plant to collect berries. These berries respawn throughout the day and are used to craft Ultra Spicy Spray. Aim to build a stockpile.
  2. 2
    Have the second captain gather a large group of Pikmin (all types) and head to the area with Brittany's second pile of bridge parts.
  3. 3
    Use both captains at the ledge to the left to dislodge the nose in the snow, opening a new pathway.
  4. 4
    Enter the new area. Ignore the fire and head towards the exit on the left.
  5. 5
    To the right of the exit, locate a circuit. Use Yellow Pikmin to light it up, causing nearby mushrooms to blossom into platforms.
  6. 6
    Use these platforms to reach and collect the Citrus Lump fruit.
  7. 7
    Send the second captain back to the ship. With the first captain and Pikmin, continue forward, smashing crystals to enter the area where Charlie started.
  8. 8
    Head right, back to Charlie's starting point. Watch out for brown leaf enemies; defeat them by throwing Pikmin on top.
  9. 9
    At the Tuna tin, throw Pikmin up to collect Nectar.
  10. 10
    Continue to the dead end and deal with the Larva Cannon.
  11. 11
    Behind the Larva Cannon, find a mound and have Yellow Pikmin dig on it. Follow Charlie's path.
  12. 12
    At the dead end, use Yellow Pikmin to light up another circuit. This will reveal the boss and open the path to its arena.
  13. 13
    Enter the boss arena. Run to the opposite side and head outside. Use your Pikmin to lower a bag.
  14. 14
    Swap to the second captain (Alph), gather the idling Pikmin at base, and have him enter the boss arena.
  15. 15
    With two captains, move around the arena, lighting up circuits and collecting bridge pieces on opposite sides. Use Ultra Spicy Spray when the boss is vulnerable for extra damage. Avoid standing in front of the boss's mouth due to its dangerous breath attack.
  16. 16
    After defeating the Vehemoth Phosbat, collect the Heroine's Tear fruit.
  17. 17
    Return to the corridor before the boss arena. Look up on a raised platform to find grapes. Send Yellow Pikmin to harvest them.
  18. 18
    Head back to where Charlie started the game. Your Pikmin should have unearthed a suit upgrade. Retrieve it.
  19. 19
    Send your third captain with Rock Pikmin to where Brittany started the previous day. Use ten Rock Pikmin to break crystals and retrieve the Disguised Delicacy fruit (Kiwi).
  20. 20
    Locate the final fruit, the Dapper Blob (plum), near the Spicy Berries. It's up a small lip and requires two captains to reach.
  21. 21
    Gather all Pikmin, including those on berry duty, and prepare for the night.
