Splatoon Raiders Endgame Guide
All 4 endings, the Bottomless Buffet, Super Spicy runs, and the fastest farming routes.

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: Fischflak Hidden Ruins (シャカ=ハラーカ), Smoksam (サマーカ=サーマン), and Myunyere (チャワチャワ=ヤカ), each on its own salmon-themed island. 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
The top heat level, unlocked by beating the Salmonarch. Game8 says it opens on every dungeon at once, regardless of which ones you cleared. Runs are locked to Survivalist-style rules with raised enemy levels, and 5-star weapons drop only here. Full prep checklist in our Super Spicy guide.
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 |
|---|---|---|
| Spirhalite Shards (fastest) | Pudyin Den (JP: プリム巣窟) | Roughly 20-second clear loop：the fastest pure shard run found so far. Pair with Baygull Beach (JP: チャコケレネ浜, ~8 min) for double-mining runs that drop nearly everything. |
| Weapons + general loot | Awlmun Den (JP: アンナン巣窟) | A 25–35 second loop for weapons, Gadget Parts, and materials, depending on how much Speed tank you stack. 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, so 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. Update (August 2): the den we previously called “Annan Den” is Awlmun Den in the English release, corrected above. Second update (August 2): プリム巣窟 is Pudyin Den, and Game8’s English Pudyin Den page lists Salmonid Lv 36/49/76, matching the Japanese source exactly, on the corresponding island. Third update (August 3): チャコケレネ浜 is Baygull Beach, and the English page matches the Japanese source on all three Salmonid levels (35/49/80), the 4,000/8,000-egg thresholds, Rebda Island and the Krosont Den unlock, and each side has exactly one crystal-type beach.
