The Drafty Gallery is a cave in the Blossoming Arcadia in Pikmin 4. Its entrance is not surrounded by any major obstacles and the only hazard inside are fire, making it likely to be the player's first cave in the Blossoming Arcadia to explore. Members of the blowhog family appear in this cave, who cause drafts of air with their attacks. A metallic cave, pits are present around the platforms, so it's recommended the player take extra care to make sure no enemies shake off Pikmin into them. This cave has  × 1,010 worth of treasure.

How to reach

Map of the Blossoming Arcadia showing the cave's location.

There are two main ways to access this cave.

• From the Fragrant Ravine, head west and turn right until you reach the top of the hill with the area's Dandori Battle entrance. Build and cross the clay bridge and then turn right.

• From the Sunwashed Plateau, walk along the path on the right until you come across a climbing wall. Build and climb the wall, and you will find the cave's entrance straight ahead.

Notes

Olimar's Voyage Log

“Beneath the passage, all I can see is an interminable darkness. I tossed a pebble into the abyss but never heard it hit the ground. I must proceed with caution here. I don't want any Pikmin accidentally thrown to their demise, let alone shaken off by some creature.”

Sublevel 1

Map of sublevel 1.

• Treasures:
  •  Hoop of Fortune × 1
  •  Memory Fragment (Top...Probably?) × 1
  •  Spouse Alert × 1
• Enemies:
  •  Downy Snagret × 3
• Obstacles:
  •  Dirt wall × 1
• Tools:
  • None
• Wild Pikmin:
  • None
• Others:
  • None

Defeat the Downy Snagrets and then collect the treasures. Destroying the dirt wall allows the Pikmin carrying the Spouse Alert to take a faster route, but is not required.

Sublevel 2

Map of sublevel 2.

• Treasures:
  •  Back-at-the-Beginning Track × 1
  •  Gold Nugget × 10
  •  Sphere of Support × 1
  •  Tandem Trainer × 1
• Enemies:
  •  Fiery Blowhog × 2
• Obstacles:
  •  Dirt wall × 2

• Tools:
  •  Geyser × 3
• Wild Pikmin:
  • None
• Others:
  •  Candypop Bud × 1 (Ice)
  •  Egg × 2 (2 small)

Fire hazards exist on this sublevel. Defeat the Fiery Blowhogs and destroy the fire generators to ensure that Pikmin carrying treasures and nuggets can safely reach the S.S. Beagle. One of the geysers is a shortcut that leads back to the base, while the other two are necessary to reach the Back-at-the-Beginning Track.

Sublevel 3

Map of sublevel 3.

• Treasures:
  •  Internal-Clock Measurer

  •  Raw material pile × 3 (piles of 5, 10 and 15)

To access the hole to the next sublevel, a clay bridge must be built with 29 pieces of raw material. 30 pieces are found in the sublevel, meaning it will always be possible to build it. Most of the raw material and all of the treasures are found on a separate island to the starting one, and to access it, a geyser must be attacked until it starts shooting air. Another base exists on this island, which can be used after defeating the Joustmite next to it.
