There's one bit of streamlining you could have done early on: If you have Oatchi subject to an elemental hazard, he'll be allowed access to gear and training that protects him from those hazards much earlier. Basically all of the waiting on the electric fences would have been bypassed if you just settled on giving Oatchi some shock therapy.
Literally the first day's task should be to round up the elemental hazards and tell Oatchi to rush in muzzle first. Finally, a game where animal cruelty is the meta play. I've also completed an 8 pikmin run, it was pretty fun! Definitely recommend it to people interested in replaying the game with a twist.
This is the best strategy in Pikmin 4, as the first time Oatchi takes damage from any element, you will unlock the nullifier for it, which is really useful (heck even Water is nullified once Oatchi learns to swim)
@@LoyaLPikmin Well, if you watch the video I'm sure you'll discover how. I stopped at defeating Louie, rather than grind the 100 purple necessary for the gold bar.
You know, despite how frequent and common it is, this is the first time I've really thought about how _ridiculous_ it is that this random rookie is 100x more competent than basically every other (presumably) trained professional.
Well they ARE being controlled by (presumably) pikmin professionals as well as the pikmin and goatchi doing 90% of the work for them they really just tell them what to do
This rookie is pretty useless on it's own, and none of the other members have been trained on the use of Pikmin. The only extremely strange thing is the immediate connection to Oatchi.
I find this far more interesting than the minimum pikmin runs in 1 2 and 3. In those ones the minimum number was dictated only by the bag or wall that needed the most pikmin, making everything before it pointless. Because of oatchi, the challenge becomes much more creative and fun.
Fun fact! It's actually not necessary to get the ice pikmin in Last-Frost Cavern. It's possible to move the paint-tube treasure near the snowy blowhog and then have Oatchi repeatedly ram into the paint tube in order to very gradually move the snowy blowhog, and you can then use its icy breath to freeze the hydro jellies for you instead. It's extremely tedious and takes about 30 minutes just to execute, but it's an option! Edit: You can also get to the remaining treasures in Dream Home without Oatchi; if you toss down a bomb rock the explosion can knock your captain onto the mushrooms to bounce you across. But still a really well done run and video! Great job!
Another way more easy is just skip that cave and move on to the fire cave to rescue the castway (obligatory the first castaway that you rescue is russel don't matter where) and then buy ice bomb rocks to freeze the hydro jellies
@@iangomez9161 Unfortunately you can't get to the castaway in Crackling Cauldron without either getting Russ elsewhere or recruiting yellow Pikmin, since you need to break down an electric wall to get below the first sublevel. Since those are the only two dungeons you can reach before Oatchi grows up, moving the blowhog slowly is the only way to avoid getting an eighth Pikmin.
In Dandori the Leaflings state that all the pikmin inside are THEIRS, so technically you can collect all of them because they aren't yours The challenge is more fun doing it your way though :)
Olimar:”I have 15 days until my life support system fails” Also olimar after leaving the planet in only 11 days and attempting to re land:”My life support System Failed”
@@Lewis777-jn8jw His heart is directly tied to the condition of his ship. Someone comes over and kicks it while he's away and he has a fucking heart attack
I'm amazed at just how much of the game you can complete with only 8 pikmin. Also, it was really interesting to see all the differences between this and Bowborb's pikminless run (his rule was that you can only use pikmin when they're required and you have to end each day with 0 total pikmin)
56:10 you can actually get this with glow pikmin, if you charge them onto it they will be able to grab onto it and lower it, it’ll stay lowered during the day
0:55 I thought you were gonna say something along the lines of "the rookie studied Biology so they know the danger of invasive species", but not wanting to share the credit with the Pikmin is way funnier than it should. XD
Your videos have fried my brain into perceiving Space Land's music as an outro song (and associating it with the cat bobbing its head) so much that it no longer sounds right playing on its associated board.
Can't you get into a different cave first, and therefore potentially avoid that ice pikmin? You'll get Russ no matter which cave you do, and then you can get ice bombs from him for the hydro jelly in Last-frost.
Loved this! Quick question, do you plan to do the Olimar story and Sage Leafling challenges? It is okay if you want to protect your mental sanity, but I thought I would ask.
Oh- regarding the Dream Home, I did a similar challenge and noticed that there is actually a way to get a purple Pikmin to the other side of the bag that needs to be pushed down, without oatchi-simply, manipulate a purple so it grabs the card on the ledge, and the path takes it right past the bag, so if you carefully whistle it, the purple Pikmin will walk right in front of the bag! …however, there appears to be some sort of failsafe that prevents the Pikmin from latching on to the bag, as there appears to be an invisible wall in the way. I managed to get the Pikmin to path to the bag, but they weren’t able to get past the invisible wall, and eventually gave up. So, unless somebody else figures a way to disable that failsafe it doesn’t look like my discovery matters. (Depending on how the failsafe works there may be a way around it. For instance, maybe if I switched to a different captain who was higher than the bag vertically it would be disabled? It is weird, though… I didn’t think that other bags had failsafes like this. And yes, I did check that the issue wasn’t that the bag’s destination was obstructed.)
In the dream home, you actually can get over those mushrooms if you walk in a weirdly specific way. I had to do it in my no oatchi run that i did, but it took a while.
Not sure if it helps, but you CAN lower that handle in Dream Den with enough Glow Pikmin, that and the one in SST. Using Glow Mob at just the right angle can latch 1-3 onto the handle, but you'll probably need more than 20 to have that work. That's how I was able to skip Yellow/Winged Pikmin in my "Least Pikmin Types run" (spoiler: you only need Reds, Purples, and Glow to get everything in the game).
Marathoning these backwards while I do pokemon breeding! I cannot begin to blame you for not counting the pikmin that get forced on you, then just evaporate. For a challenge like this, it feels easier to just go "they don't exist" than to jump through hoops on how they factor in.
52:08 you can actually attack the body of the bloomcap bloyster, im pretty sure the idea of the enemy is that you are supposed to attack the weak point so you can charge it. Sorry if people had already said this a lot
I once did a challenge run where I could only use 1 of each Pikmin type... Yes, that means that (aside from Oatchi) I could only have three Pikmin out at once, except for a few very specific times in caves. The only thing that really stopped me was a single clipboard bridge in the final cave that require 20 pikmin to pull down, I had to cheat using glow pikmin in order to progress (I couldn't get 100% though). Also, just a tip, you can technically skip getting ice pikmin if you use ice bombs (which you unlock later on) for most of the ice-related puzzles. You can also use the pebble pitcher to break gates/walls you would otherwise need Pikmin to break (including crystal walls you normally need rocks for). This game is surprisingly lenient with what you can get away with.
The Mysterious Carriage is collectable without 10 Yellow Pikmin. Go to the third night mission of the Sun-Speckled Terrace. Keep charging your Glow Pikmin at the clipboard using your Glowmob. Eventually 10 will hang on and lower the clipboard. Come back during the day and the clipboard will be lowered and you can get the treasure. Sadly that damn bag in Engulfed Castle does prevent a lot of treasures from being collected in Serene Shores with only 7 (8 in your run) pikmin. However the Stately Rubber Cutie is possible to collect. Winged Pikmin will eventually get it if you keep charging at the wall next to it. Treasures that need more than 7 pikmin to collect: 1: Scaly Custard (Web, 10 weight) 2: Glinty Circular Disc (Engulfed Castle bag) 3: Noble Goo (Engulfed Castle bag) 4: Juicy Gaggle (Engulfed Castle bag) 5: Amiguous Hostel (Engulfed Castle bag) 6: Heroine's Tear (Engulfed Castle bag) 7: Lesser Mock Bottom (Engulfed Castle bag) 8: Telekenesis Detector (Need 10 Winged Pikmin) 9: King of Meats (300 weight) 10: Golden Vaulting Table (1000 weight)
2:00 surprisingly, you can lose pikmin here, but somewhat rare and you can use the yellow pikmin cave to get russ, as you can find a cheeky angle to throw reds up in that cave.
People Say “Blue Pikmin are useless in Pikmin 4” Technically this proves all of them can be rendered useless except 8 Pikmin that basically formed the avengers also if he used swallow this would be 10x easier
With the two blue Pikmin blocking the door during the olimar section you can just charge directly through the Pikmin and hit the gate as they won't come to you if your in a charging state
Fun fact: The Empress Bulblax in Cavern for a King has enough space for you (and only you) to stand in front of her face and not get squished. Let's you get a safe, but extremely extremely slow right.
58:48 if you charge oatchi so he bounces off that mushroom to the left of the bridge you can get him to the other side without lowering it! Pretty cool
58:50 not sure if you mention it in the video, but you can actually guide the pikmin to do that paper bag if you use the lineup trumpet upgrade you get from completing the musical missions
I attempted to get all possible treasures and castaways with just 7 pikmin and P2. You can skip past wild pikmin by rushing with Oatchi, wild pikmin don't interact with the captain or Oatchi if you rush from far enough back and stop once you get far enough away. Within Crackling Cauldron you can just barely get any pikmin type, except purples, onto the bricks to get both the castaway and two treasures without P2. Since you can get to this cave on day 2 you can get Russ from this cave since all castaways are in a set order (except Leaflings). You can get the track piece in ultimate testing range using Oatchi's swallow ability to get the track onto the edge of the platform and push it so Oatchi can reach it from the other side, where he grabs it and falls with it in his mouth, the game puts Oatchi back on his last known point on land with the treasure still in his mouth. Glow pikmin can theoretically (I haven't done it with the minimum number) reach the yellow board handle which can allow you to get it. I have videos which can allow you to get the music box in BA and get Oatchi across the gap in Dream Home. I've seen a video where Oachi is able to get additional height from a bomb rock launching him while he is on top of an onion. The winged onion's path goes past the ledge if you destroy the mould and have the landing site in its default location.
I’m 5 minutes in to this video. You can go to the Crackling Cauldron cave first and get the castaway there and then you can unlock Russ and come back to Last Forst cavern later with ice bombs.
commenting for the algorithm brother. you could have definitely saved a bit of time on some of the treasures by using glow pikmin to reach the handles though.
This video made me realize how crazy pnf-404 is because expect for once person not a single other person has had a safe landing on the planet Well actually two people safely landed on the planet the president and the rookie kinda ironic thay the people at the very top and bottom of the work ladder are the only 2 to have landed smoothly on the planet
A Bunch of treasure he got he coulda saved some time on, like the Middle Management Tankcar you can just run to the other side and if you aim your pikmin right, throw them up on the ledge and they will go and get it, thats how I got it in my No Oatchi run
You can use ice blasts from Russ/two player mode to skip the hydro jellies at the first cave Edit: also throwing the rocks in the two player mode for the electric gates

So from the lightning round of treasures at the end, it seems that to 99% the game you need 20 pikmin, and to 100% you need 100- not bad. I went way overboard in my first casual playthrough, with something like 1200 pikmin by the end. Im now wondering how much of the game can be completed with just good boi oatchi, besides that annoying gameboy at the start?
There's one bit of streamlining you could have done early on: If you have Oatchi subject to an elemental hazard, he'll be allowed access to gear and training that protects him from those hazards much earlier.

I attempted to get all possible treasures and castaways with just 7 pikmin and P2.
You can skip past wild pikmin by rushing with Oatchi, wild pikmin don't interact with the captain or Oatchi if you rush from far enough back and stop once you get far enough away.
Within Crackling Cauldron you can just barely get any pikmin type, except purples, onto the bricks to get both the castaway and two treasures without P2. Since you can get to this cave on day 2 you can get Russ from this cave since all castaways are in a set order (except Leaflings).
You can get the track piece in ultimate testing range using Oatchi's swallow ability to get the track onto the edge of the platform and push it so Oatchi can reach it from the other side, where he grabs it and falls with it in his mouth, the game puts Oatchi back on his last known point on land with the treasure still in his mouth.
Glow pikmin can theoretically (I haven't done it with the minimum number) reach the yellow board handle which can allow you to get it. I have videos which can allow you to get the music box in BA and get Oatchi across the gap in Dream Home.
I've seen a video where Oachi is able to get additional height from a bomb rock launching him while he is on top of an onion. The winged onion's path goes past the ledge if you destroy the mould and have the landing site in its default location.

But you Need a yellow pikmin to break the electric fence.
It's shocking that you need as little as EIGHT pikmiin for this game, i wonder about olimar's story though...
I love that you say all the names of the treasure from the game instead of saying what they actually are. attention to detail!
Was wondering when this would appear, thanks!
this was very fun to watch. excellent video and excellent dandori
I’m pretty sure you can use a bomb rock to launch yourself onto the bounce pads in the dream home.
4:37 A cavern is a type of cave, so I guess you didn’t need specifics.
There’s a glitch that allows Oatchi to go through metal gates using Ultra Spicy Spray. So he can collect the Golden Vaulting Table.
"A full ass adult dog." LOL
I would have turned a red or an ice into the one white as you just lost 10 carrying capacity separate from Oatchi
commenting for the algorithm brother. you could have definitely saved a bit of time on some of the treasures by using glow pikmin to reach the handles though.
If you abuse the coop feature you can get freeze bombs which means you don’t need ice pikmin and can get past most obstacles
You could’ve just had Dingo do the dandori battles, but it’s more interesting the way you did it
What a delight of a run!
Olimar should get his license revoked
This video made me realize how crazy pnf-404 is because expect for once person not a single other person has had a safe landing on the planet
Well actually two people safely landed on the planet the president and the rookie kinda ironic thay the people at the very top and bottom of the work ladder are the only 2 to have landed smoothly on the planet
I know barely anything about Pikmin, but if the answer is anything but 4 pikmin, I will be so mad.
Lesgo CowFoodYum made a Pikmin 4 Minimum Pikmin vid
uhh .... he does know olimar's story can lead ya to the purple and white onions right?
90 pikmin is required to 100% the primordial thicket
Edit: I believe there is a bridge that allows oatchi to get up there
love how that's not food dickhead is kinda a running joke
You can finish the dream home by blowing up the captain with a bomb rock and launching him over the bounce pads
A Bunch of treasure he got he coulda saved some time on, like the Middle Management Tankcar you can just run to the other side and if you aim your pikmin right, throw them up on the ledge and they will go and get it, thats how I got it in my No Oatchi run
43:23 the perfect pause 😂
Personally pikmin 2 is still my favorite, but i do like 4 semi reviving a few PK2 aspects
You can use ice blasts from Russ/two player mode to skip the hydro jellies at the first cave
Edit: also throwing the rocks in the two player mode for the electric gates
He didnt want to use the pebble pitcher. Also russ wasn’t available at the first cave
That presents a dilemma. You Need russ to get ice blasts to rescue russ.

i want to see the ten trials and olimar's tale with minium pikmin.
I've found a cheat to this: complete the 1500 hurdle of this challenge in the FREE demo for 5 free bomb rocks.
All gates take minimim damage from 2nd player with time all of them fall even glass
The pebble pitcher feels fine it's just a shortcut to getting items which could be bought from russ after farming for infinite days.
It also kills enemies with no risk to your squad.
To COMPLETE will always take less than to BEAT
i predict that the total number of pikmin needed is between 101 and 105
Yeah, Oatchi makes it so that you hardly need Pikmin most of the time.
Also, instead of John Tomato, why not Tom Ato?

Fun times, fun times
So from the lightning round of treasures at the end, it seems that to 99% the game you need 20 pikmin, and to 100% you need 100- not bad. I went way overboard in my first casual playthrough, with something like 1200 pikmin by the end. Im now wondering how much of the game can be completed with just good boi oatchi, besides that annoying gameboy at the start?
