How to rescue the Hectic Hollows Castaway in Pikmin 4
The Hectic Hollows Castaway can be found in the last subfloor of the Hectic Hollows cave in the Sun-Speckled Terrace. This is one of the first caves you’ll find in the game.
The Castaway is stuck up high on an object that looks out of your reach. You can get them down by using Oatchi’s charge to smack into the object they’re stuck on. Doing this will knock the Castaway down to the lower level.
After the Castaway has been knocked down by Oatchi’s charge, you can throw a few Pikmin at them and they’ll carry the Castaway to your base. And there you have it, one Castaway rescued!

Now that you’ve rescued the Hectic Hollows Castaway in Pikmin 4 you might be wondering what you get for doing so.
The Castaway you’ve saved is called Petunia, and she has a series of side missions for you to complete. These side missions require you to fuse onions together, which can be done by finding different coloured onions like Blue or Yellow in the world and bringing them back to your base.
Completing these side missions will reward you with materials for you to buy upgrades or build structures with. Materials aren’t exactly in short supply in Pikmin 4, but side missions are a good way to build up your stock over time.
You’ll also need to rescue Petunia if you want to 100% the game, as she counts towards completing the area. She also counts towards the main quest for rescuing all Castaways, which is another major requirement for completing everything in the game.
