Doppelganger's Den Bosses and Enemies
Bosses
 Gildemander
|
Gildemander's weak points are the red spots on its body which it covers with pieces of gold. You can use Oatchi's Rush ability or throw Pikmin to peel off the gold and expose its weak points.
You can destroy the pieces of gold when Gildemander drops it on the ground. This prevents it from putting them back to its back, making the boss completely defenseless.

Bring at Least 15 Ice Pikmin
| Pikmin to Bring | ||
|---|---|---|
 Ice Pikmin
15 or more |
 Blue Pikmin
20 or more |
 White Pikmin
10 or more |
15 Ice Pikmin are required as there is a treasure that only they can transport to the base. There are also treasures submerged in water and protected by poisonous enemies, so having both Blue Pikmin and White Pikmin are recommended.
Use White Candypop Bud on the 2nd and 3rd Sublevels
There is one white Candypop Bud on the 2nd sublevel and two more on the 3rd sublevel, allowing you to convert your Pikmin into White Pikmin should you need more.
