Spelunker's Locker

Spelunker's Locker is the third cave in Creature's Quay in Pikmin: Shipwrecked Stargazers. It takes place in a derelict, rusted shipwreck teeming with brutish beasts that make expeditions dangerous. The purpose of this ship is ambiguous, but it appears to either be a naval or shipping vessel.

How to reach
As with the other caves in the area, aside from Humpback Heights reaching the entrance requires, at the very least, partial help from Blue Pikmin. On the rainforest island, the player will find a cliff that not even Yellow Pikmin can reach. A nearby pool of water hides a Sprawlvine bean within a Sputtlefish. Defeat the Sputtlefish and take the bean with Blue Pikmin.

Plant the bean near the cliff, and it will grow over the next few days. Upon full maturation, the player can use this Sprawlvine to reach an area teeming with Tropical Cannon Beetle Larvae, alongside numerous Obsidian Candypop Buds for Black Pikmin. Finally, the player will reach an open area near the sea, with a Tropical Cannon Beetle. The miniboss guards a pile of fragments that can be used to build a particularly long bridge to reach a dent in the ship's hull. Inside this dent is the cave entrance, blocked by a Glazed Sugluent that Black Pikmin can destroy.

The first sublevel takes place in a square chamber in the ship, shelves surround the four walls, and sand is scattered across it. There are two Swooping Snitchbugs that scout from above, planting Pikmin they see as potential prey. Danger truly lies in the other inhabitants of this sublevel; an Orange Bulborb and some Dwarf Orange Bulborbs rest in an out-of-the-way location, guarding the Muffled Cymbals.

There is also an Archertongue Ribbifin hiding in the shelves. This predator uses its tongue to catch prey from afar. The Archertongue Ribbifin holds the Island Diagram. Also on the shelf, possibly hard to spot, is the Strongman's Harp. A Crimson Candypop Bud blooms in one of the corners, for adding Red Pikmin to the squad.

There are numerous interconnected corridors, with the player landing in a small alcove. An electric gate keeps the squad from leaving, less they use the Golden Candypop Buds to get Yellow Pikmin. Upon tearing down this gate, the leaders and Pikmin can explore the winding area. Water Dumples and Dwarf Bulbears are standard enemies, but new ones are also encountered, the fire-spitting Geothermal Ribbifin, and the electric Paralic Voltantern.

The Alluring Silo is found on a piece of elevated ground. All Pikmin can reach it, but leaders cannot. The Farmground Filler is more tricky, as it is hidden in an inconspicuous Wogpole. The Wogpole flops around on solid ground, in an obscured corridor. The hole to the next sublevel is in a corridor directly next to the one the entrance was in, the two are blocked off by a wall. Beware of the puddles of water in the pathway there.
