Strategic Freezeway Walkthrough

Strategic Freezeway Walkthrough



Light Up All Bonfire Altars

Pikmin 4 - Strategic Freezeway - Light Up Bonfire Altars

Starting with the southwest room, go around the whole arena clockwise while lighting up bonfire altars and defeating enemies.

Destroy Hydro Jellies

Pikmin 4 - Strategic Freezeway - Destroy Hydro Jellies

Destroy Hydro Jellies by throwing a fire starter at them. You can also use Oatchi's Rush skill to break them. It's best to light bonfire altars near the Hydro Jellies before breaking them.

Breaking Hydro Jellies can reveal treasures to collect or more Pikmin to add to your squad.

Defeat Enemies with Fire

Use the fire starters from bonfire altars to chip away the ice armor on enemies, so that attacks from Pikmin will go through. It is recommended to immediately use Oatchi's Rush skill after melting the ice to damage the enemy and throw all Pikmin in your squad at them.

Collect Treasure After Building the Bridge

Pikmin 4 - Strategic Freezeway - Collect Treasure After Building the Bridge

Start collecting treasure and retrieving them back to the S.S. Beagle after you finish building the bridge for easier and faster transport.

Collect With Ice Pikmin in the Northern Room

Pikmin 4 - Strategic Freezeway - Collect With Ice Pikmin in the Northern Room

There are no bonfire altars in the northern area so it's recommended to Oatchi and Ice Pikmin to collect the treasures found there.
