Collapsed Reef

Collapsed Reef is the second cave in Creature's Quay from Pikmin: Shipwrecked Stargazers. Although it starts similar to it's first cave, Humpback Heights, later sublevels take place in bizarre chambers within the deep blue ocean. They have walls made of a thick, unbreakable crystal that allows one to view into the surrounding waters, and various vibrant pieces of coral provide obstacles and protection.

How to reach
It is imperative that the player has unlocked Blue Pikmin before attempting to reach the hole into this cave. In the big, circular area with the first Barnagon, there is a long land bridge leading to an island covered in bleached coral. This bridge dips into the water, even if the tide is at it's lowest point, non Blue Pikmin would be unable to cross unless the player destroys the underwater Clog, draining the water to a point where it will no longer obstruct them. This must be done to let Yellow Pikmin across, so they destroy an Electric gate on the other side of the land bridge.

 * Vampiric Victim
 * Melty Ingot Lite
 * Cetacean Skeleton

Similar to Sublevel 8 of the Dream Den, this floor is a giant spiraling room, with some water at the bottom and you at the top. Salty Armurks lurk in small corridors, with their rolling attacks being blocked by walls so they don't all fall into the center. The one closet to the bottom holds the Vampiric Victim, while the corridor the first one hides in leads to a chamber of which houses a Red Bulborb, which holds the Melty Ingot Lite. The water pool at the bottom houses a Hermit Crawmad, which holds the Cetacean Skeleton. The hole to the next sublevel is behind the Research Pod.

Sublevel 2

 * Theme: Sea rock/Coral
 * Music: Humpback Heights
 * Treasures:
 * Globular Taxidermy
 * Curdled Nut
 * Enemies:
 * Obstacles:
 * Seacap

This peanut shaped room is the transitional area between the sea caves and the coral domes. It begins in an area with a pair of Watery Blowhogs, one of which has the Curdled Nut. Use your Blue Pikmin to dispatch those swine pests. There is a hole in the wall blocked by a Dirt gate.

Behind this gate is a similar room where the walls are made of crystal. Rock Pikmin cannot shatter this and the floor is now made of sand rather than rock. A trio of non intrusive Seacaps rest along the walls, but most dangerously, four Water Dumples surround the hole forward. one of them has the Globular Taxidermy.

Sublevel 3

 * Theme: Coral
 * Music: Shimmering Atoll
 * Treasures:
 * Flexible Pail
 * Coarse Surfboard
 * Enemies:
 * Polypal Slurker
 * Coastal Sheargrub
 * Obstacles:

This sublevel is a massive circle, taking place in what's essentially a natural bio-dome housing a forest of bright, healthy coral. Small dips of land are filled with water, infested with Tropical Blinnows. a giant cage of bleached coral conceals the Coarse Surfboard, and to reach it, one must find an Iron Ball, held tightly within a curled branch of coral. push it out, and it will tear right through this cage and slam into the crystal wall, which causes a giant leaking crack to appear on it.

Medusal Slurkers and Flying Spotted Jellyfloats provide aerial attacks, and a curving path through the coral forest leads to a small chamber with a mound of sand, dig through it, and you will find the Flexible Pail. The hole deeper is located near a giant barrel sponge, surrounded by a ring of Coastal Sheargrubs.

Sublevel 4

 * Theme: Coral
 * Music: Shimmering Atoll
 * Treasures:
 * Battle Whistle
 * Voltage Tanker
 * Enemies:
 * Obstacles:
 * Seacap
 * Others:

 * Others:

A much more condensed, maze-like area. There are many paths to take, and some have distinct dangers to behold. A few Fiery Blowhogs will try to torch your army, and two pathways are guarded by Water Dumples. A pathway has high ledges made out of the limestone coral reefs are built around, and Yellow Wollywogs will jump down from them. A third high ledge actually has the Battle Whistle on it, requiring Yellow Pikmin.

The other treasure, the Voltage Tanker, is hidden behind an Electric gate, itself blocked off by a Hermit Crawmad. Undoubtedly the biggest annoyance is the ridiculous amount of Seacaps, especially since they spread an obscuring mist around upon destruction. The hole is located down one of the two Water Dumple guarded paths, but as a nasty surprise, a Hermit Crawmad has nested inside of it. Defeat the crustacean or simply wait for it to lunge out to proceed.

Sublevel 5

 * Theme: Coral
 * Music: Shimmering Atoll
 * Treasures:
 * Gilded Oyster
 * Squishy Shogun
 * Enemies:
 * Elastic Mamuta
 * Goliath Clamclamp
 * Precipitating Skysnail
 * Shingleshell Turrusk
 * Obstacles:
 * Others:
 * Others:
 * Others:

The water surrounding this sublevel is slightly darker than the rest, and the floor is now craggy and made out of limestone. It is very cliff-like and some new enemies can be found. Goliath Clamclamps hold valuable pearls, but will use a pair of tongue like tendrils to grab and eat Pikmin. Precipitating Skysnails will spray drops of water wherever they fly, and Shingleshell Turrusks will shoot balls of water from the valves on their bodies. Use a geyser to reach a higher ledge. Some Elastic Mamutas will be waiting for you. Another geyser on that platform will lead you to a spire containing a Goliath Clamclamp and the Squishy Shogun.

A small dip in land houses the Shingleshell Turrusks and the Toady Bloyster. killing the Toady Bloyster gives access to the Gilded Oyster. Walk past this area to find the hole to the next sublevel.

Sublevel 6

 * Theme: Coral
 * Music: Rest
 * Treasures:
 * None
 * Enemies:
 * None
 * Vegetation:
 * Others:
 * Others:

This sublevel is a rest area, with some Nectar Eggs for maturing Pikmin and a few Candypop Buds. Interestingly, all of them are Ivory Candypop Buds. White Pikmin will be revealed to be an absolute must for the boss up ahead.

Sublevel 7

 * Theme: Coral
 * Music: Uneasy Situation (Before boss appears)/Boss (During boss battle)/None (After defeat of boss)
 * Treasures:
 * Punctured Floater
 * Enemies:
 * Kraken Jellyfloat

This final sublevel takes place in a medium sized circular arena full of bleached coral. There's what appears to be some sort of crop circle in the center of the arena, walk towards it, and the Kraken Jellyfloat will sink in from above. You will need the help of your White Pikmin if you want to defeat this goliath. Afterwards, it will drop the Punctured Floater, which gives the upgrade, "Waterlined Suit" to make leaders faster in water and immune to water attacks.

After the treasure is collected, say goodbye to the coral reef as you leave through the exit geyser.
