Find Hidden Treasure Northwest of the Map

The Mooching Vase does not show up on the map as it is hidden underground. To find it, head to the northwestern part of the map near the area with the two Joustmites (armored worm enemies). You can also command Oatchi to track its treasure scent.

Find the elevated ledge that juts out and throw Yellow Pikmin to dig out the Mooching Vase.
