Pikmin 4 – How to Find and Unlock the White and Purple Onions
There’s no other series quite like Pikmin. The series' unique combination of strategy, time management, and exploration can be tough to get your head around, and Pikmin 4 in particular gives players lots to think about. Spawning lots of Pikmin is key to success, which means you’ll want to collect all the “Onions” in the game. Once you’ve collected one of these veggie-shaped pods, you’ll be able to sprout all the Pikmin of the associated color your want by feeding it pellets and enemy corpses.
As you work through the main campaign you’ll find Red, Yellow, Blue, Ice, Rock, and Pink Onions, but what about the White and Purple Onions? Those aren’t found in any of the standard stages or their associated caves. So… where are they? Are they even in the game? The answer is yes, but unlocking them in a bit of a process. But you don't have to figure all that out -- we’ve got all the steps for you, below.
WARNING: While this article doesn’t get into a lot of story specifics, it does contain some SPOILERS for Pikmin 4.
And there you have it, all the Onions acquired! This is largely for bragging rights, although there are a few treasures you’ll only be able to retrieve with a large number of Purple Pikmin, and having lots of the poisonous little White Pikmin around can be helpful.
Pikmin 4 is available now on Nintendo Switch. You can check out Wccftech’s Pikmin 4 guides here and our full review here.
