Where to Find the Space Suit Upgrades

Dodge Whistle

The Dodge Whistle can be obtained in the Distant Tundra, anytime after reuniting Alph and Brittany. It can be found in the southwest part of the map. After fighting the Joustmite that emerges from the ground, continue walking uphill, until you see a bouncing mushroom. Throw a leader and at least 10 Pikmin at the Bouncing Mushroom to pick it up and bring it back to the S.S. Drake.

Along the way, you may need to switch to the leader you threw in order to take out enemies along the way.

Where's the Captain? Walkthrough

The Dodge Whistle will allow your Pikmin to dodge attacks by pressing left or right on the D-Pad. This greatly increases the survivability of your Pikmin against enemy attacks, and is very useful in boss battles, such as the Scornet Maestro.

Anti-Electrifier

The Anti-Electrifier can also be found in the Distant Tundra after reuniting with Brittany. The Anti-Electrifier can be found near the site where Captain Charlie landed. After using the Iron Ball to break open a cave, continue through the cave and keep going forward past the large crystals outside.

From there, the path will fork. Head right, and continue going until you come across several mounds of snow, as well as an Armored Cannon Larva. Defeat the Armored Cannon Larva, then dig up the Anti-Electrifier behind it.

When you get the Anti-Electrifier, all of the Crew Members' space suits become immune to electricity and electrical attacks.

Metal Suit Z

The Metal Suit Z can be found within the Tropical Wilds. From the southeast part of the map, there is a small path with a raised platform where you can recover it from.

When you get the Metal Suit Z, all of the Crew Members' space suits' durability increases, and incoming damage to them gets halved.

Scorch Guard

The Scorch Guard can be found in the Twilight River. It is found near the area right before you fight the Burrowing Snagret. Walk past where you would fight this foe (marked by an apple on the map), and then there should be a raised area on the left where you can throw some Pikmin. Throw about 10 up there, and they will uncover the item, then bring it back to the S.S. Drake.

Defeat the Scornet Maestro! Walkthrough

When you get the Scorch Guard, all of the Crew Members' space suits become immune to fire and fire attacks.
