Proceed Through the Area Counterclockwise

Pikmin 4 - 2nd Trial - Proceed Through the Area Counterclockwise

The optimal route to take is going around the arena in a counterclockwise pattern, collecting materials and lighting up bonfire altars as you go.

Always Bring a Fire Starter

Pikmin 4 - 2nd Trial - Always Bring a Fire Starter

A Fire Starter can be picked up immediately in the starting room. Toss a Red Pikmin to get a fire starter for burning straws and destroying ice gates to clear paths, frozen hydro jellies, and enemies with an icy back.

Use Fire Starters to Destroy Ice Gates

Pikmin 4 - Ice Gates

Since there are no Ice Pikmin to help you destroy ice gates, throw a fire starter to immediately destroy it.

Light Bonfire Altars to Replenish Fire Starters

Pikmin 4 - 2nd Trial - Light Bonfire Altars to Replenish Fire Starters

Each room has a bonfire altar which you should light up to replenish your fire starter. Always prioritize lighting up bonfire altars with your fire starter before using it on something else, as the fire starter will go out, and you'll have to go back to the previous room to get another one.

Use Idler's Alert When the Materials are Transported

Pikmin 4 - 2nd Trial - Use Idlers Alert When the Materials are Transported

As soon as the Pikmin finishes transporting materials, call them with the Idler's Alert to your location so you won't have to go back to your base to call them.

Idler's Alert Uses and How to Get

Defeat the Small Ice Enemies with Rush

Pikmin 4 - 2nd Trial - Defeat the Small Ice Enemies with Rush

The small enemies with icy backs can be defeated with an upgraded rush. If you haven't upgraded it yet, you can use fire starters to melt their ice armor, and then you can attack them.

Defeat the Icy Blowhog

Pikmin 4 - 2nd Trial - Defeat the Icy Blowhog

There is a flying enemy called the Icy Blowhog that puts out bonfire altars and fire starters. Prioritize defeating this enemy to protect your lit bonfire altars.

Defeat the Enemies that Spit Snowballs

Pikmin 4 - 2nd Trial - Defeat the Enemies that Spit Snowballs

This will make the routes your Pikmin will take safer when transporting materials back.
