The Industrial Maze has some puzzles that are challenging to get through, and you'll want to find everything in the area without having to backtrack into the dungeon. This is where we come in, so read on and ensure you can complete the Industrial Maze effectively.

If you want to reach the dungeon, you'll want to start at the Sun-Speckled Terrace, at the first base. You'll head north and go between the wall and the brick wall. Once you pass the brick wall, you'll immediately turn west and jump on the ledge. Continue west, and you'll find the dungeon entrance. Go into it.

The dungeon will have one Castaway to rescue, five treasure chests, and you can get Yellow Pikmin here.

Since you'll most likely not have Yellow Pikmin at this point, bring a bunch of Red Pikmin to make the cave easier.

When you spawn on the first floor, you and Oatchi will be separated, so switch to Oatchi by holding down Y, pointing the left stick down, and pressing A.

First, you should note that the door to the next floor will be to the north. You can break it down with Oatchi's charge attack. Once you do, go west across the conveyor belt and find buttons to the south.

First, you'll want to have the blue button pressed down to help the Pikmin get across. Switch back to your character and take your characters west across the conveyor belt.

You'll then need to switch back to Oatchi, and press the red button. Then have the Pikmin and your character go across the west bridge.

Be careful not to let your Pikmin drop off the bridge, or you'll lose them.

Once you go across, switch to Oatchi and jump down the ledge to the west. You'll meet back up with your character and use your charge to break the pots nearby. Doing so will allow the Pikmin to carry out the treasure.

Use the gust of wind to go back up the platform with Oatchi and press the blue button. Once your Pikmin cross, press the red button again, and your Pikmin will take the treasure to the ship.

After that, go back to the Pikmin with Oatchi. You don't have to press the buttons since Oatchi's charge will let him get past the conveyor belts.

Have the Pikmin and your character jump on Oatchi's back, then make your way back to the buttons. Northwest of there, you can pull Yellow Pikmin out of the ground to help you get the last treasure on the floor.

Head back to where Oatchi started, then throw Yellow Pikmin up the platform to the east to pick up the last treasure.

You'll need to have the blue button pushed down for them to go across the belt. After they cross two belts, press the red button to have them reach the ship.

At this point, you'll automatically bring the Pikmin with you if you go to the next floor, so simply make your way there. You should have two treasures after this floor. Also, if you want material, you'll find some south of the entrance to the second floor.

Once you reach the second floor, head north and jump up the ledges with Oatchi, your character, and the Pikmin. You'll find some pots to the east, so charge into them with Oatchi. A treasure will drop out, so have some of your Pikmin carry it back to the base.

After that, you should separate Oatchi and your character. Have Oatchi go north and use the flying platform to cross to the other side. You'll find a switch to the north, so press it to deactivate gates that'll prevent you from collecting other treasure. Switch back to the Pikmin, then head west.

The exit will be in this area, but don't use it yet. Instead, head north and activate the base up there to make the rest of the dungeon easier. Before you can do that, you must break the electric gate using Yellow Pikmin.

If you don't have any, go back to where you got the first treasure. Head north and dropdown the ledge to find some planted in the ground, and also some materials around here. You can go to the southeast part and use the gust of wind to get back up.

After you break the gate and activate the base, go south of the exit to push a box onto the ground. Once you do, have the Pikmin pick up the treasure, and they'll carry it to the north base.

Follow them to the base, then head to the northwest corner, where you'll find a treasure buried. Use your Yellow Pikmin to quickly take it out and have them collect the treasure.

You'll notice some vases east of the base, so bring Oatchi over to break them. Once you do, you can go east of the base, where you'll find a floating platform.

Throw Yellow Pikmin up it to save the Castaway, and the Pikmin will take them back to the base. You should have five treasures and a Castaway when you finish this floor, so ensure you have them all before you leave the dungeon.
