{{guide}}

The '''Secluded Courtyard''' is a [[cave]] in the [[Blossoming Arcadia]] in {{p4}}. It has a zen garden theme. Many of its [[enemies]] are mimics, such as members of [[skitterling family]] and [[dweevil family]]. This extends to the cave's [[boss]]: the [[Foolix]]. [[Yellow Pikmin]] are useful here with its high ledges and electric hazards, though [[Ice Pikmin]] are also recommended for dealing with water obstacles and freezing the aforementioned boss. This cave has {{sparklium|p4|845}} worth of treasure.

== How to reach ==
The Secluded Courtyard is in the southeast of the [[Blossoming Arcadia]], on a plateau. A [[dirt wall]] and an [[electric gate]] must be destroyed to reach it.

From the left of the starting area, head up the hill to collect the Decorative Goo. Be aware that one of the eggs contains a Sunsquish. From the right of the starting area, defeat the enemies and destroy the Spotcaps to access the Citrus Lump. To collect the Universal Rubber Cutie, first freeze the small body of water with Ice Pikmin after plucking the underwater Blue Pikmin sprouts. Then walk towards the treasure, and defeat the Skitter Leaves after they fall from the sky. Finally, carry the treasure back to the S.S. Beagle.

== Sublevel 2 ==

The castaway in this sublevel can be approached from either direction. Make sure to defeat all the Anode Dweevils to stop them from electrifying Pikmin carrying items back &ndash; one is hiding behind the dirt wall. To collect the Talisman of Life (Cherry Blossom), throw at least 2 Pikmin at the base of the climbing stick from the lower block.

== Sublevel 3 ==
[[File:P4 Map Secluded Courtyard 3.png|thumb|300px|Map of sublevel 3.]]
* '''Treasures''':
** {{icon|Astringent Clump|y|v=P4}} &times; 1
** {{icon|Blonde Impostor|y|v=P4}} &times; 1
** {{icon|Gold Nugget|y|v=P4}} &times; 15
* '''Enemies''':
** {{icon|Sunsquish|y|v=P4}} &times; 4 (1 inside large egg)
** {{icon|Desiccated Skitter Leaf|y|v=P4}} &times; 5
* '''Obstacles''':
** {{icon|Electric gate|y|v=P4}} &times; 1

** {{icon|Water spout|y|v=P4}} &times; 3

** {{icon|Blue Pikmin|y|v=P4}} &times; 5 (fighting Sunsquish)
** {{icon|Candypop Bud|v=P4 yellow|y}} (Yellow) &times; 1 (if 5 or less Yellow Pikmin)
* '''Others''':
** {{icon|Flarlic|v=P4|y}} &times; 1
** {{icon|Dirt-mound|v=P4|y}} &times; 1 (containing 25 [[raw material]]s)
** {{icon|Raw material pile|v=P4|y|l=Raw material}} x 1 (15 pieces)
** {{icon|Egg|v=P4|y}} &times; 1 (in place of Candypop Bud if more than 5 Yellow Pikmin)
** {{icon|Egg|v=P4 large|y}} (large) &times; 2
If your Yellow Pikmin numbers are low, you can get some with the Candypop Bud behind the starting area. Yellow Pikmin are required on this sublevel, to reach the Blonde Impostor suspended in the air, and to reach the Flarlic on a high pot. Be careful when collecting the Astringent Clump &ndash; it is suspended above a water spout, so if the spout hasn't been destroyed first, the treasure will land on top of it, requiring careful timing to collect with non-Blue Pikmin.

== Sublevel 4 ==
[[File:P4 Map Secluded Courtyard 4.png|thumb|300px|Map of sublevel 4.]]

** None
* '''Others''':
** {{icon|Castaway|v=P4|y}} &times; 1 (inside Foolix)
** {{icon|Egg|v=P4 large|y}} (large) &times; 1
After digging up the potted plant, you'll come across what looks like a single blob of nectar in the middle of an arena. This is in fact the Foolix, the boss of the cave. See [[Foolix#Strategy]] for strategies on how to defeat it. After defeating it, carry back the castaway it drops and the nearby treasure.

== Trivia ==
*[[Louie]] specifically mentions this cave ("blah-blah Courtyard") in his second [[Mission (Pikmin 4)#Side Missions|Fit for a Feast]] quest, when requesting two [[Yellow Wollyhop]]s.
**Unlike his other requests, this is the only cavern where Yellow Wollyhops appear belowground, meaning the request cannot be fulfilled anywhere else.
