Splatoon Raiders Endgame Guide
All 4 endings, the Bottomless Buffet, Super Spicy runs, and the fastest farming routes.
Last updated: 2026-07-26
What Unlocks After the Story
Beating the Salmonarch at the Great Salmon Mess Hall rolls credits — but it opens more content than it closes. Here is everything that unlocks:
Three Hidden Ruins
Three secret dungeons appear (JP: 隠れ遺跡シャカ=ハラーカ / サマーカサーマン / チャワチャワヤカ). Clear each with all three tank types to collect nine treasures — this is the key that opens the Bottomless Buffet.
Bottomless Buffet
An endless descent dungeon with a secret boss on floor 100 — and it keeps going after that. See the full section below.
Super Spicy difficulty
A new top heat level for dungeons you have already cleared. Runs are locked to Survivalist-style rules with raised enemy levels — and community reports say 5-star weapons drop here.
Two new Hideout Ship facilities
Weapon Power swapping and Gadget Parts upgrading become buildable. This is where late-game build optimization actually happens.
Three new treasure islands
Atke, Suma, and Kinp Island appear on the Treasure Map, each holding tank-specific relic treasures.
Raised level cap and cosmetics
Character levels continue past 50 (shown as 50+1 and up). You also get a 5-star weapon from the final boss, plus a new outfit and hairstyle.
All 4 Endings
Splatoon Raiders has four endings, and you can see all of them in a single playthrough — no resets needed. There is no New Game Plus, so your one save file is where everything happens.
| Ending | How to get it | What happens |
|---|---|---|
| Good Ending | Reach sublevel 20 of the Great Salmon Mess Hall and win the Throne Room fight with enough Power Eggs collected. | Deep Cut lands the drill attack, the Salmonarch falls, and the Splatlands are saved. |
| Bad Ending | Fail to collect enough Power Eggs during the Salmonarch fight. | The Salmonarch's beam fires and Salmonids swarm the coast. Grim — and worth seeing once on purpose. |
| Post-Credits Scene | Watch the credits after the Good Ending. | Deep Cut talks about "unfinished looting business" and Legendary Loot still out there — the hook into the endgame. |
| True Ending | Clear the three Hidden Ruins with every tank type, then descend to floor 100 of the Bottomless Buffet and beat the secret boss. | The crew cashes in the relic haul in Splatsville, with a final tally and a thank-you from the devs. |
The Good/Bad split happens inside the final boss fight itself — it is about Power Eggs collected during the battle, not any earlier choice.
The Bottomless Buffet
The Bottomless Buffet (JP: 無限食堂) is the endless endgame dungeon. Unlock it by finishing the story and clearing all three Hidden Ruins with every tank type.
- Difficulty is fixed — you cannot lower it. Every floor runs at Survivalist-style rules.
- Treasure chests on the way down drop Spirhalite Shards, Spirhalite Crystals, Salmonid materials, and Gadget Parts.
- A secret boss waits on floor 100. Beating it unlocks the True Ending plus exclusive rewards (Adventure Files and gear).
- Clearing floor 100 grants a unique relic power that makes undiscovered Gadget Parts easier to find — the best farming accelerator in the game.
- The dungeon continues past floor 100. Nobody has confirmed a bottom yet.
- Multiplayer works only with friends or via password — no open matchmaking, and no SOS calls on these floors.
Floor 100: Lord Saltimatum
The floor-100 secret boss is Lord Saltimatum (JP: シオヅケノオオミカミ). Community consensus three days in: freeze builds are the strongest answer — pair single-hit weapons with freeze powers, clear high-influence Boss Salmonids (Smokers first) before they stack, and bring Big Man as your Bot Buddy for the invincibility Showstopper.
Descent Tips
- Build for freeze: single-hit weapons with freeze powers control whole waves.
- Kill priority: Smokers and other high-influence Boss Salmonids first, small fry last.
- Big Man's invincibility Showstopper is the safest panic button for deep floors.
- Do not push a deep run with low durability — there is no help call down here.
Best Farming Dungeons
Post-game is a farming game. These are the community-tested best spots per resource as of launch week:
| You want | Run this | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Whirlpool Shards (fastest) | Prim Den (JP: プリム巣窟) | Roughly 20-second clear loop — the fastest pure shard run found so far. Pair with Chacokelene Beach (チャコケレネ浜, ~8 min) for double-mining runs that drop nearly everything. |
| Weapons + general loot | Annan Den (JP: アンナン巣窟) | A ~35-second loop for weapons, Gadget Parts, and materials. On Super Spicy it can drop 5-star weapons. |
| EXP / levels | Temprah Den (Ferdi Island) | Roughly 7,200 EXP normal, 17,900 on Spicy, 55,600 on Super Spicy per run. Single spawn point — funnel everything with AoE. |
| Spirhalite Shards | Crystal dungeons: Taytur Rocks (early), Choclet Iceberg (mid), Baygull Beach (late) | Big-crystal dungeons have no timer and crystals cluster near the main deposit. Higher-level dungeons pay more per run. |
| Gadget Parts | Underground Ruins on Spicy or higher | The rare Salmonid at the end drops multiple Gadget Parts and weapons per clear. Drop quality scales with heat. |
| Skill Points | Every Snacking Dungeon, once | Each first clear pays one Skill Point — sweep all of them before grinding anything else. |
| 5-star / premium weapons | Bottomless Buffet + Super Spicy dens | The two confirmed sources of top-rarity weapon drops. |
Correction (July 29): heat gates the top end more sharply than we first reported — Gadget Part drops improve from Spicy underground ruins, but 5-star weapons come only from Super Spicy content. Two multipliers stack on every farm: your title rank boosts shard gain by up to +100%, and excavating 70% of a big crystal can double the run’s rewards.
