Bunker Code Combination Puzzle Solution: Hero’s Hideaway – Pikmin 4

Everything feels large compared to the tiny Pikmin in Pikmin 4. When you’re such a tiny creature, even the most basic things such as the interior of a house becomes a playground full of possibilities. In the Hero’s Hideaway level, players need to look for a code to solve the Bunker Puzzle and save Olimar.

The solution to the Bunker puzzle is a combination of a three-digit code which is randomized in every playthrough in Pikmin 4. Players need to find three cards, and the number on them is the number they need to input. These three cards are scattered around Hero’s Hideway.

Let’s take a look at all the card locations in the Hero’s Hideaway level in Pikmin 4:

1. Hero’s Hideaway Playing Card 1 Location

The first playing card is located in pinboard near where you first land in Hero’s Hideaway. Use Otachi’s Rush ability on the wall to knock down the card, which is held by a dart. This will reveal the first digit of the combination.

2. Hero’s Hideaway Playing Card 2 Location

The second card is located on the first level of the step ladder at the Northern side of Hero’s Hideaway. Use the fans lying around on the floor to get up high. Coordinate with Oatchi to turn fans on and off from the table in the middle of this room.

3. Hero’s Hideaway Playing Card 3 Location

The last card is located at the Eastern side of the room, on top of some stairs. Identify the rail track leading from the stairs to one of the kitchen counters on the map. Use the fans to get up to the rail track and reach the stairs to find the final card.

Now that you have all the three codes, input them in the Bunker and save Olimar.
