[[Purple Pikmin]] are useful here for carrying the larger treasures and stomping on smaller enemies. This cave has {{sparklium|p4|1,305}} worth of treasure.

== How to reach ==
The entrance to the Cradle of the Beast resides in the southern part of the [[Giant's Hearth]], guarded by a [[Bloomcap Bloyster]] and surrounded by [[dried plant]]s. There are two paths the player can take to reach this cave, both of which require using [[fire starter]]s to reach. One path is just south of the Abandoned Throne base and is the shortest of the two. The player will have to deal with a sprinkler system and a [[Masterhop]] before they burn away the hay bales leading directly to the cave. The second path is longer but easier. The only obstacles in this path are a pond with [[Wolpole]]s that must be drained to get a fire starter to the dried plants on the eastern edge and a pushable box near a [[Bug-Eyed Crawmad]] den. The cave can then be accessed by burning the last set of dried plants surrounding it.

* If Oatchi's Super Buff ability has been fully upgraded, at least 12 Purple Pikmin are needed (12 Purple + 88 non-Purple + Oatchi = 308).
