- I try to beat pikmin 2 without using the whistle once. Since Pikmin 2 is the hardest game in the series I don't even know if this is going to be possible but I'm going to try it anyways. The whistle in pikmin is used for save you're pikmin from hazards, bosses and to gather them up. I basically can't do any of that so this run is going to be incredibly difficult.

I love how late game Pikmin 2 looks like a kaizo hack
this goes for all three Wistful Wilds dungeons, but the Dream Den especially just goes “consistent thematics for each floor? lmao how about I just kill you”
Best game, i also love bikmin great mod
@@Markm8 🅱️ikmin 269 is the single greatest pikmin mod ever made, except maybe Colossal Caverns
@@insan3giraff39 i 100% agree cc is at least tied with it for sure
@@Markm8cant wait for 3.0
The funniest part about the submerged castle is all of the treasure in the cave is almost completely worthless. The scariest and deadliest cave in the game is basically a complete waste of time.
You get the greatest upgrade in the game though!
It's also funny that most treasures in this cave are sweets
I wonder why? 🤔
@@EntoneToriI don’t remember the name exactly but the Japanese name for the Water wraith is something like “Balding Candyman.”
@@kenji6492 Well, as we know from Louie, it certainly doesn't take like candy xD
But I remember Olimar would describe its texture as rock candy, at least in the German version
@@kenji6492 The name is "Amebozu" Ame can be translated as Candy, or as Rain, depending on how it's written. Rain makes a bit more sense for the Wraith itself, but this alternate translation might be part of the cave's theming.
"Bozu" means "Bald Man" or "Monk" on it's own, but Nintendo has confirmed that "Amebozu" is derived from "Umibozu" (Sea Monk) a specific Yokai that looks like a monk, and lives in water.
But yeah, it can be translated as "Candy Bald Man"
@nyon7209
The virgin umibozu theory vs the chad candy bald man theory.
Pikmin 2 veteran here, I really loved the challenge and the massacre of pikmin. Never really noticed how evil Pikmin 2 was as a kid, well other than me being wrecked really bad by frontier cavern on the first go, maybe I just got used to all of it, stockhome syndrome as you will.
The emperor bulblax is so pathetic in this game, you can just bomb rush him by spamming purples or reds on him when he's asleep and by the time he finishes his wake-up animation he's already dead, no chance for attacks at all. You defeated them in a more dev intended way, and it was still easy.
I always assumed the Titan Dweevil parts not respawning was common knowledge. Makes him the only boss you can never truly refight, because he will just be pathetically easy. Still, nice video. Just goes to show how important the whistle is and how much controll you lose if you take it away.
Yeah same. So when he brought up "will they come back" I had to actually stop and think for a bit on how that's not common knowledge (as I too way back when tested this out for myself)
I'm pretty sure I read that in a magazine guide.
Seeing all them purples die to hazards without being able to save them is just painful!
wait wow, i totally thought this was going to be one of those mega viral vids i found on my homepage!!! this vid is super well done, love the format and really well made!
Thank you!
A version of this challenge was actually done by a smaller channel called Grassdigger years ago, where they beat the game using only the a button (they made a video summarizing many of the highlights of it that I'd recommend watching) and they were able to get the idle blues and yellows and the reds at the beginning with some crazy glitches.
The Dream Den in tha ACTUAL GAME feels like Kaizo.
I always assumed everyone knows about the Ranging Bloyster being easily stun-locked by switching captains.
Today, I found out.
You should never fight magnetic cannon beetles with Pikmin, just guide the boulder back to it for an instakill
This run seems like absolute torture. If it was me I'd have quit just because of how frustrating it could be.
You don’t need to whistle the yellows, because I discovered a glitch to get on top of the tree with the napsack
I am VERY confident that you have to whistle the reds and blues so unfortunately I don’t think it’s possible
On the gamecube version if you bitter spray the tadpoles and beat them to death with your captain the blue pikmin will go idle and you can unlock them by bumping into them, however he banned the use of bitter sprays so I guess it is a rule break regardless.
@@Baconking42069
100% no way around the blues and reds@@Baconking42069
you discovered that glitch? im amazed
@@oneechoecho I don't think he did. I'm pretty sure it was found by HSS: www.youtube.com/@HSS0136, but I can't find the exact video. I think he was just saying he "discovered" that you can do this.
Now do it no purples /s
Nice challenge man, those last caves are something else
Cant wait for Pikmin 3 without the whistle...
youre so brave for even trying this thats amazing
That water cannon is silly in how it can target the other pilot. But yeah, definitely changes things when you can't freaking whistle them back. (The crab can go die.)
Caves with Groinks or Bulbears are made much easier if you can convince them to walk directly toward you... When you're on the far side of a terrain gap big enough for them to fall into.
As a bonus, any treasure they're holding will automatically respawn back into a nearby valid location.
Plus it's just hilarious watching them walk toward you like "Gooooonna getcha!!" and then fall into the abyss like total dumbasses 🤣
Out of curiousity, since you didn't really go into any detail about it: how many of the treasures did you get? Do you think it would be possible to get all the remaining ones (even if you had to do dedicated one-treasure-per-cave-visit trips)?
Yeah definitely, I just didn’t want to spend the time getting all of them and didn’t think it added a lot to the video.
5 minutes in and you’ve won a subscription
You are a world class masochist
You’re funny as heck! You just earned a subscriber!🤣
I love the rage quit ending to this video lol
When he said 15 days and no bitter spray i almost spat out my drink, thats insanity!
7:08 Who knows how long that pikmin 1 Bulblax has been growing bigger and stronger since it became one.
I always thought that the weaker bulblax’s were sort of starting to become the big Bulblax again. And then there’s a Sovereign Bulblax in 4!
Love the video!
Asthma Olimar Run
27:20 You know you didn't have to include it right?
why shouldn't he include it?
@@BlouePickdMan because he used the whistle and the challenge is to beat the game without using it.
I’ve only played all the way through Pikmin 2 once and I reset cave floors so often. I can’t imagine going as far as you did without resetting under these rules.
Never thought the stink bugs could get any more annoying
welp this is the first challenge i've seen where I have no idea how you would ever pull it off
My main issue with Pikmin 2 is how tedious the final caves get because your pikmin are so valuable, especially your whites and purples because of candypop buds and you NEED 100 purples to get all the treasure, you find that the lack of a cave time limit generally means you spend your time taking your captains and punching everything you can to death. I wound up doing a no death Pikmin 2 run completely by accident.
F that bomb that unalived all those white pikmin
Ah, the Bill Alfonso challenge.
Take a shot every time he says "half my pikmin"
And then... this happened 😎
Memes aside this was a fun video
As someone who gets really bad anxiety from timers, I've only ever played Pikmin 2 because its timers are super forgiving I find, so I was kinda amazed to hear that it's generally considered the hardest game in the series. o.o
I mean, if you don't get really bad anxiety from timers, you'll notice that the other pikmin games are super forgiving with timers aswell.
Pikmin 1 is literally one part per day, so you literally can focus on getting one part per 15 minutes.
Pikmin 3 is 100 days for a game you'll need like, 25-30 at max if you're bad at the game and going for 100%
Pikmin 4 doesn't even have a timer per sé aside from the dandori challenges
If you play the other games, you'll really notice how much bullshit there is in Pikmin 2 and how much harder it is.
Nice
31:18 i never knew this could happen because i always knocked off monster pump before the other 3
Mad respect
Ummmm actually the X button and C-stick use the whistle too ☝️🤓
So i feel like this isn't the first time the toady bloysters room with the cannon beetles is brought up as an issue, but cant you just use the red beetles and their hoaming boulders to kill the green ones and later kill the red ones with their own boulders?
I swear you could do that but now im not sure with how often i dont see it brought up (unless its just not fun to do, which is understandable) like yeah the falling boulders are annoying but i always viewed that floor as a not so bad floor compared to the other floors in the hole of heroes
Idea, Pikmin but Pikmin you throw can not be called back
If you use the exact same strategy he uses to defeat the titan dweevil in a normal play through, he’s really easy to
You should do a Pikmin 3 video next
Just for that comment we are gonna do hey pikmin next
@@demopan1067 Hey Pikmin is probably impossible because you need the whistle to call the Pikmin out of the grass.
And I thought I was a masochist. 😂
if you had killed the tadpoles would you have been able to get the blues without the whistle?
Tbh I thought you'd start passing up on one shooting each dungeon a lot sooner.
What's the music playing around 0:39?
We want to know how many casualisties in total!
Edit at top: Forgot to mention, but this was pretty impressive all things considered. Especially since it seems like you don't like this one, at the very least that's how you portrayed it here.
I have some general advice for the future if you ever decide to come back to pikmin 2. In the caves that have a lot of friendly-fire enemies (like the rock shooting beetle guys), they can do so much more damage than your character. That would be useful in caves like the one with the big bloyster (fun fact he only goes after the controlled leader, and nothing else. Use that to your advantage). Use the red rock shooters since they home in on the player, and kill everyone on that floor with your pikmin in the corner with the second commander. I actually often times prefer to go alone against enemies like that. In the same room I mentioned earlier, I no-deathed it by putting my pikmin in a corner and then having the swarm of beetles kill each other. Took some patience but days do not really go by when you're in there. I used the last red beetle to kill itself by angling the rocks.
For the gun guys, they can be turned into a benefit at times. They deal friendly fire damage so in caves like the one with the army of mini-bulborbs and the two gatling ones, have the gats kill all the small bulborbs. You can then proceed to get them stuck in the wall and with the rocket punch hit them through the wall (be careful since their aoe can go through the wall too).
Yes, you can even use the gat guys to kill each other (not themselves unfortunately), but of course do beware of the regen thing. Btw that wall trick does work on bulborbs as well, but sometimes they can reach you depending on how thick the wall actually is. I could be wrong, but I always felt like the rocket punch makes the third punch go farther. For the electric anode beetles, time doesn't move. Just throw one yellow at a time and when it gets back up throw another in challenges like this one. It goes by faster than you might think since it gets up kinda quick, and by the time the whole horde is on it, it's damaged pretty badly.
For the poison beetle, run around the entire map with a poison pikmin (fastest pikmin for if you accidentally release it. The other pikmin types won't really be impacted if you're carrying them through it), and you'll know the general area it is at once it pops out. Also, some of them contain treasures so you can use that to track them. One of my most common tactics is to simply run through the entire floor with a single pikmin in hand, and see what traps pop out. Doesn't stop the ones that guard treasures, and those things suck, but it does mitigate the ones that will spawn while walking. Also fun fact, for the one bulborb that always knows your location, in those areas with easy to fall locations, it's often beneficial to just have them take a skydiving lesson. If you're concerned about the treasure in them, it spawns on top. Trust me, they do not respawn after that fall, and it's a lot better than taking them head on. Now, this doesn't help with a run like this in particular, but for the flying bomb guys, there's an easy way to deal with them. If they drop a bomb, and THEN you slap them down, the bomb will knock out a good portion of their health if you time it right. I say this run in particular because, well the pikmin would have been lost.
The water wraith I believe runs off of a set path instead of actually going after you or your pikmin, at least in this one. I'm not certain since I didn't look at the code, but he seems to go in cycles. Learning his cycle isn't too bad, and fun fact sometimes you can even get him stuck behind treasures. I've done that a couple of times and well, it made things interesting. Another trick that could help out in future runs, the day timer doesn't go in caves but pikmin trapped in the ground bloom even in caves. Don't underestimate that.
It's still a very hard game, but if you stop caring about the day timer and instead treat each floor as a puzzle, it's not so bad. First priority imo is finding a location to hide your pikmin. Then after that exploring, and then forming a plan and executing said plan, or killing everything on the floor via themselves. I also recommend breaking any eggs you come across in caves without your pikmin, since the mites will disappear quickly but any nectar will remain for the rest of the floor. If you come across situations like the black bulborb with no easy way to kill it, you could just trap it. What i mean by that is put some pikmin behind a wall that the bulborb will try to walk past. Might take a few tries but if done right, could easily limit it. Only thing to worry about from them is if carrying pikmin go past.
This is coming from a guy that has 100 percented the game with 5 or 6 deaths in 11 days before. There are a lot of bs areas in this game (I'm sure I'm forgetting half of them), and so if you need further advice ask the community. Pikmin 2 is the "hardest" because it operates differently than the other games. All of them are based on time management, so mistakes for that have to be taken into account. Pikmin 2, minus the day timer on the surface, doesn't have any time limits. I often find myself going towards a threat with one type of pikmin, usually the most dangerous one, taking it out and coming back with the next most dangerous in the situation. I also noticed you didn't really use the stun on the purples all that much, which is a shame since that is the most powerful ability they have. If you came back to the empress fights with a lot of purples, you could even win without a single loss (well, minus the little annoying larvae guys, but a captain at the end of the empress isn't a bad play to deal with that. On a timer with that one since they don't dodge the larvae for some reason).
And I forgot to add this to my comment as well, but there are only a handful of enemies that will chase you across the map, the black bear bulborb, the gatling guy and the water wraith from what I remember.
The rest of them for the most part have an invisible leash, so you can use that too.
Snagrets have cloacas. I'm not sure if they have a "butthole" per se, or if a cloaca counts as one.

ahhh pain
pikmin 2 is both the 2nd hardest(pikmin is harder, especially bulblax(i played on gamecube btw)) and my 2nd favourite(pikmin 4)
Honestly the Titan Dweevil wasn't that bad for me.
15:18 cant you just enter cidedel of spiders to send the blue pikmin back to the onion
This is one of those videos that showcases Pikmin 3 and 4 fixed the Kaixo hell of 2 which a lot of people who want casual play hate 2 for being so bs.
they went way too overboard the amount of handholding in 3 and 4 is unbearable
@@oktalley99 Incorrect.
The best thing would be proper difficulty options. Deluxe tried but it ended up being more "How tedious do want the game to be", nothing that actually made it harder. A separate mode that increases the health of enemies, increases the number or enemies, and revamps areas to be more unforgiving would go a long way in making a game that's enjoyable both for casual and veteran audiences alike.
@@Skelington Those already exist for the difficulty options.
Like why were you ever doubting its possible there is a type immune to water
DO THIS IN PIKMIN 4
31:18 Or you could just. Use the pikmin who are immune to water?

Edit at day 11 33 items and NO whistle at all. Turns out you do no need the whistle at all to get all types
27:21 you whistled
(Not sure how nitpicky you are but just an FYI that you did leave a clip in of you using the whistle at 27:20)
I beg of you, please use a different cadence/intonation when you're narrating... You ALWAYS start high and end low... It's maddening
Sounds like most of the problems you had was just a dandori issue.

I was only 9 years old. I loved the President from Pikmin 2 so much.
I had all his merchandise and games.
I pray to Le Chacho every night, thanking him for the Pokos he has given me.
My dad hears me and calls me a Dandori Issue. I knew he was just jealous of my devotion to Chacho.
I call him a Wollywog.
He hits me and sends me to go to sleep.
I'm crying now, and my face hurts.
I lay in bed, really cold. I feel something warm....
*It's Chacho!* I was so happy.
He whispers in my ear and points at me: "Louie!"
He pushes me with his presidental nose and puts me on my hands and knees. I am ready.
I make myself vulnerable for Chacho.
He bombards me with Purple Pikmin and says: "3:20"
It hurts so much, but I do it for the President.
He roars a mighty roar as he pounds my body with Purples.
My dad walks in.
Chacho looks him straight in the eyes and says: **CAR HORN NOISE**
Chacho leaves through my window on his Hocotate Ship.
Chacho is love. Chacho is life.
No more pikman!!
