Sunwashed Plateau Tips and Strategies




Gather Glow Pellets to Increase the Number of Glow Pikmin

Pikmin 4 - Gather Glow Pellets to Increase the Number of Glow Pikmin

Immediately after the night starts, collect all the glow pellets nearby to increase the number of Glow Pikmin you have.

Glow Pikmin Guide and How to Get

Activate the Nearest Tricknolls

Make sure to activate the Tricknoll as fast as possible. This provides you with an extra line of defense and slows down the enemies.

Command Oatchi to Protect the Lumiknoll

Pikmin 4 - Oatchi Protect Lumiknoll Command
Command Oatchi to protect the Lumiknoll as much as possible since the two locations of Tricknolls are far from each other and can be easily destroyed by the enemies.

Command Effect and How to Unlock

Enemies Attack From Two Directions

The enemies will attack from two directions based on the locations of the two Tricknolls. Be careful not to stay too far from the Tricknolls and the Lumiknoll as you may not be able to defend them in time.

Use Glowmob to Stun Enemies

Pikmin 4 - Use Glowmob to Stun Enemies

How to Use Glowmob Press and hold the X Button.

Take advantage of the Glow Pikmin's Glowmob ability to stun and attack enemies. Press and hold the X Button and release it once the gauge is full to perform the attack and deal high damage.

Note that this ability has a cooldown, so it is best to use it against a large number of enemies or against a powerful enemy.
