Valley of Regret

The Valley of Regret is the second area in Pikmin: The Bulblaxian War. It is actually the Valley of Repose, but slightly different. Some tectonic activity (we love those on the Pikmin Planet, don't we?) has opened up new caves and sealed off old ones. In addition, a passageway was created, connecting here to Base Camp. The Council of Eight member here is General Brandonhog, who resides in an outpost here, Blowhog Base. There are four caves and nine treasures. This is also where Yellow Pikmin are found. The total value of all the treasures above ground is 3200 pokos, and all treasures in the valley, caves included, is a whopping 18975 pokos. Unfortunately, pokos are used more as a score rather than for reaching a goal, so all that money won't be paying off any debts. Also, the most valuable treasure is in a cave that is only accessible after White Pikmin have been gained.

Story
Upon arriving, Olimar will find him at a small landing site fit for only two onions - the false one and the red one. The ship will notify Olimar about his concerns, and the fact that they need a more proper landing site. Olimar will have to fight his way to Blowhog Base, find Yellow Pikmin, and retrieve the next part of the map.

Subareas
There are nine subareas. 6 of them are currently known:


 * Base Camp Entrance: The pathway back to Base Camp and where the temporary landing site is.
 * Path to Landing Site: The area where Louie originally landed in Pikmin 2, up to where the paper bags originally were.
 * Landing Site: The old landing site.
 * Manhole Cover Arena: The area with the big manhole cover.
 * Side Snow Route: The area beyond the arena, up to where the old bramble gate was underwater.
 * Bridge Crossing: The area with the small body of water and the bridge.

Base Camp Entrance
This is pretty much just a passageway through the snow, up until where the Red Onion was in Pikmin 2. This leads to Base Camp, and there are two imprints in the snow where some onions can land. Along the pathway are four Snow Bulblaxes hiding in the snow, and a Hairy Bulborb is also in the way, along with two Snow Bulborbs.

Path to Landing Site
There are three Pellet Posies near where the red onion used to be, and there is another Snow Bulblax hiding in the snow. To the left is where Louie had crashed before, but this time there is a cave, The Temple of Ice. To the right is the way to the landing site, and two Snow Bulborbs block your way.

Landing Site
Upon arrival to this subarea, you will find the Yellow Onion with several imprints in the snow around it. This is where you can get Yellow Pikmin. It may appear that there is a yellow pellet posy nearby, but be warned! It is actually a Goldenrod Handiblax that is pretending to be one! Upon defeat, three pellet posies will appear in its place. On a nearby ledge is a buried treasure called the Pre-Cut Wall. On the slope behind the landing site is the Museum Model, but it is completely buried, so you'll have to wait until you get White Pikmin.

Manhole Cover Arena
There is a white bramble gate blocking the entrance to this subarea. Beyond that, where the Red Bulborb used to be, in the center of the manhole cover, is a cave entrance that leads to Complex Chute. Nearby is a Red Bulborb and five Dwarf Red Bulborbs.

Side Snow Route
Beyond the arena, you can find on top of the snowman the Redundant Messenger, as well as a Snow Bulblax right next to it. Beyond that is a small area where five Fiery Dweevils are. There is also a partially buried treasure, the Collectable Portrait, and another treasure, the Forever Bridge. At the edge is Blowhog Base. On the small route to the arena, there are two more Snow Bulblaxes.

Bridge Crossing
Where the white bramble gate was in Pikmin 2, there is now an electric gate. Beyond that is a single Chill Dweevil. There is some water with a bridge on the other side, that cannot be reached until the player has Blue Pikmin.
