Acidic Complex

Acidic Complex is a cave that appears in Pikmin: Invasion of the Giants. It is found in the Site of Redemption. It requires only Green Pikmin.

Sublevel Guide/Walkthrough
Sublevel one - Intermediate difficulty. It has two Sulfuric Dweevils, and a sleeping Acidic Bulblax. There are no pools of acid, but one of the dweevils will likely be carrying the Ridge Disk.

Sublevel two - Intermediate difficulty. As soon as you land, you will find yourself in a pool of acid. This not only means instant death for any non-Green Pikmin, but it also means that you have to get out FAST! The acid will slowly but surely deplete your life when you are in it, but if you escape you should be fine. Continuing on, you will find an Acidic Blowhog, but it should be relatively easy to defeat. There are no treasures on this level.

Sublevel three - A peaceful level, not including a small pool of acid. There are two objects to be found, the Useless Gob and the World Binder. Both are buried underground. This would seem to make a problem because in sublevel two you had to start in a pool of acid, so it would be impossible to bring White Pikmin down. Thankfully, you can find an Ivory Candypop Bud and toss a few Green Pikmin into it.

Sublevel four - It would be best to stow your white Pikmin in some safe corner... This could get deadly! First off, you will find two Sulfuric Dweevils. not a problem to deal with, if it weren't for the hovering Acidic Dirigibug located nearby! In another room in this cavern, there is an acid pool with a couple of Acid Dumples in it. To top it off, there is a lone Acidic Jellyfloat. If you manage to take out the dumples, guide your Green Pikmin into the pool. At the center of it all is a rock, one of the types that you can break open to show the hole. If you break it open, it will drain the lake. This will both allow you to go further downward and will allow you to see a treasure hidden in a small pocket, the Acid Guard! This wonderful tool will give you an immunity to acid. You will need it in the upcoming battle.

Sublevel five - This is the final level. An Acidwraith will fall from the ceiling. Beat it using Green Pikmin. The wraith is noticeably weaker, as Green Pikmin will damage it, whereas normally it would take Purple Pikmin to damage a wraith. It will not yield any treasure.
