Cliff-Hanger's Hold Walkthrough



Collect Pikmin and Secure Routes

Pikmin 4 - Cliff-Hanger

During the first half, collect Pikmin and defeat enemies while destroying walls to secure routes for later. Don't forget to collect the hidden Pikmin in the grass in the center of the map.

Get Bomb Rocks and Ultra-Spicy Spray

Get the Bomb Rocks and the Ultra-Spicy Spray and use them against enemies. Make sure to use the Ultra-Spicy Spray to speed up the movement of Oatchi and all your Pikmin while also making the flowers of all Pikmin in your squad bloom.

Collecting Treasures on top of the Cliff

Pikmin 4 - Cliff-Hanger

After collecting treasures in the southern half of the map, proceed collecting treasures on top of the cliff. Send Oatchi inside the tunnel on the left side to send him to the top, and throw Pikmin on the mushroom found on the right to bounce them to the top.

You'll need to switch your controls to Oatchi to command the Pikmin on top of the cliff to collect treasures and defeat enemies.

Send More Rock Pikmin

There's a glass wall only Rock Pikmin can break, so sending more Rock Pikmin on top of the cliff is a good idea.

Use Rock Pikmin to Defeat the Frog Enemy

Pikmin 4 - Cliff-Hanger

You can defeat the big frog enemy safely with Rock Pikmin, as they won't get crushed by the enemy's attacks.

Get the Anti-Electrifier for Oatchi

Get the Anti-Electrifier (Oatchi) gear at the lab to make Oatchi immune to electricity. This allows Oatchi to destroy electric gates in this challenge without getting shocked while commanding your Pikmin to other tasks.
