'''Subterranean Swarm''' is a [[cave]] in the [[Primordial Thicket]] in {{p4}}. It has a large variety of enemies of all types, particularly {{w|insect}}-esque ones weak to [[Rock Pikmin]] and [[Winged Pikmin]], and all sublevels have a large quantity of [[sticky mold]] covering the ground. It features an encounter with a [[Horned Cannon Beetle]] and a [[Sovereign Bulblax]]. This cave has {{sparklium|p4|1,275}} worth of treasure.

{{game help|p4|Describe how to reach the cave in the area it's found in.}}
From the area's first base, The Sylvan Gate, turn right and walk towards the lower ground. Then take a right turn again and keep on walking until you reach a [[Grubchucker]] surrounded by clusters of mushrooms and mold. One of these hides the cave's entrance, so it's recommended to take out the Grubchucker before entering to be safe.

*Being a late game cave, it is rather complex and has multiple paths, but the most efficient start is to break the egg immediately next to you. It will most likely drop spray or nectar that will help throughout the rest of the cave. Then you will want to head down the longer path to your right and kill the [[Arachnode]]. This is best done by throwing [[Rock Pikmin]]. You will then want to go to path to the right you just unlocked and fight the [[Grubchucker]]. This is best done by charging [[Winged Pikmin]] at it to knock it down, and then charging Rock Pikmin to deal damage. After killing it you can safely transform 5 Winged Pikmin into [[Purple Pikmin]]. You can also then weigh down the [[Sphere of Calm]]. You can the go around and the Arachnode to the North and kill it with Rock Pikmin and get the [[Hoop of Fortune]] and [[Hoop of Healing]]. You can then head towards the second Grubchucker and use the same strategy to wipe it out. Then you can transform 5 more Winged into Purple Pikmin. After that you can head straight to the second sub level.

This level starts you in front of a dirt wall, but avoid breaking down until you have killed the [[Armored Cannon Larva]] on the other side to prevent its boulders from harming you. If you make your way around the other side you will come across 2 [[Shearflea]]s. [[Rock Pikmin]] will be able to safely deal with them as they are immune to their stabbing. They are also good for avoiding the Armored Cannon Larva's boulders. You will then see 3 more Shearfleas and another Armored Cannon Larva. On the big wooden stumps in front there will be 3 more Shearfleas which can be killed easily. This allows you to be able to throw 10 Pikmin to grab the treasure on the top stump: the [[Belted Delicacy]]. This also means you can then access the white [[Candypop Bud]] which will give you 5 White Pikmin. You can then also grab the [[Raw material]]s. It isn't recommended to break the mushrooms until the end because they help with hiding from the boulders.
'''''Guide on how to complete this sublevel:'''''


The second area is behind another dirt wall. Inside, more Shearfleas surround the area. Once you are fully around, crack the large nectar egg. You should notice a third Armored Cannon Larva at the top of room's tree stump. In order for you to get up there, you will need to remove the sticky mold. When climbing the tree stump, timing is key. When there's time in-between the boulders coming down, ride Oatchi up to small platforms along the stump that allow you avoid the boulders. Once at the top, defeat the Armored Cannon Larva and collect the [[Spouse Alert]].
'''First area:'''''
In this level you start out in front of you with a sand barrier (I would avoid breaking that until you have killed the {{icon|Armored Cannon Larva|y|v=P4}} as the rock boulders will hit you). If you make your way around the other side you will come across 2 {{icon|Shearflea|y|v=P4}} which if you use the {{icon|Rock Pikmin|y|v=P4}} you should be able to kill them with one hit. As you are killing them the other {{icon|Armored Cannon Larva|y|v=P4}} will be throwing rock boulders at you so to avoid any pikmin being killed I would quickly get them all on {{icon|Oatchi|y|v=P4}}. Once it has calmed down and stopped throwing rocks you will be able to get to it where you can kill it. You will then see 3 more {{icon|Shearflea|y|v=P4}} and the other {{icon|Armored Cannon Larva|y|v=P4}} which with the {{icon|Rock Pikmin|y|v=P4}} you can kill easily. On the big wooden stumps in front there will be 3 more {{icon|Shearflea|y|v=P4}} which can be killed easily. This allows you to be able to throw 10 pikmin to grab the 2 treasures on the top stump which are called {{icon|Belted Delicacy|y|v=P4}}. This means you can then access the {{icon|Candypop Bud|y|v=P4|n=Ivory Candypop Bud}} which will give you 5 {{icon|White Pikmin|y|v=P4}}. You can then also grab the {{icon|Raw materials|y|v=P4}}. I would not recommend breaking the mushrooms till the end because they help with hiding from the rock boulders.  


{{clear}}
'''Second area - Tree stump area:'''''
You will then come across another sand barrier where you can break that which will lead you to another area (I wouldn’t recommend this again due to another {{icon|Armored Cannon Larva|y|v=P4}} throwing rock boulders) to the right of the sand barrier there is another {{icon|Shearflea|y|v=P4}} as well which you will have to kill. As you carry on around that path another {{icon|Shearflea|y|v=P4}} will be there so you can kill that and make your way around. Once you are fully around you should hit a big egg which will release 3 lots of {{icon|Ultra-Spicy Nectar|y|v=P4}} once you’re in that area you will also come across 3 more {{icon|Shearflea|y|v=P4}}. In order for you to be able to get up the tree stump you will need to remove the sticky mould by throwing your pikmin at the mushrooms. When climbing the tree stump you will need to wait for a gap at the bottom when there is one you need to run up to the first wood platform where you can avoid being hit. Once again wait till you have a space and then repeat all this till you get to the top. Once you’re at the top you can kill the {{icon|Armored Cannon Larva|y|v=P4}} and collect the treasure which is called the {{icon|Spouse Alert|y|v=P4}}.

As you start the level, to the right there will be a purple Candypop Bud surrounded by sticky mold. Destroy them and use 5 of any Pikmin to create [[Purple Pikmin]], which will help you later on. Next is a big egg, which will hopefully give you nectar for your new Pikmin.
'''Guide on how to complete this sublevel:
'''


Within the main area is a large [[Horned Cannon Beetle]]. Before you engage with it, try to break as many as the mushrooms as you can so you can get rid of the sticky mold, otherwise you won’t be able to move much around the area. After that, you can properly fight the Horned Cannon Beetle. Once you kill the beetle, it will give you the [[Creativity Conduit]]. In other sections, you can find a [[Back-at-the-Beginning Track]] and a [[leafling]], both covered in more mold. Collect both and you'll be free to move on.
As you start the level to the right there will be a {{icon|Candypop Bud|y|v=P4|n=Violet Candypop Bud}} which will be surrounded by sticky mould you will need to throw Pikmin to break the mushrooms this will remove the sticky mould. And then you will be able to you throw 5 of any Pikmin in you will be able to get {{icon|Purple Pikmin|y|v=P4}} out which will help you later on. You will then see a big egg that you will be able to break to give your pikmin nectar. You will then reach the main area where you will come across the {{icon|Horned Cannon Beetle|y|v=P4}} you will need to kill this. But before that try to break as many as the mushrooms as you can so you can get rid of the sticky mould otherwise you won’t be able to move around the area. You will need to throw a couple of pikmin when it starts breathing in air so that it can get stuck, this opens up the back where if you throw {{icon|Rock Pikmin|y|v=P4}} and the {{icon|Purple Pikmin| y|v=P4}} are the most effective if you throw them at the big orange back area that opens up. Once you kill it, it will give you the treasure… {{icon|Creativity Conduit|y|v=P4}}. There’s is also an area where a treasure is covered you will need to get rid of the sticky mould area again and it will let you have the… {{icon|Back-at-the-Beginning Track|y|v=P4}} treasure. In another area, there is also a Castaway that is trapped underneath sticky mould that you will have to remove again. This castaway is a {{icon|Leafling|y|v=P4}} so we don’t know their identify yet. You can then go into the tunnel and proceed to the next level once you’ve collect all the treasures.

Start by going to the right, to an area with 4 [[Shearwig]]s, who you will need to defeat. Then, smash the pots with Oatchi, which will smash the ones on top of the cans which drops the [[Chance Totem]]. But it means you can access Raw materials as well. On the opposite side of where the materials are there is a [[Flighty Joustmite]]. Whilst also being in that area another group of Shearwig you will need to combat there as well. This is when you can access the treasures. The first one is [[Memory Fragment (Center Left)]] and the second one is Chance Totem. After that you can break the mushrooms apart so that you can access the white Candypop Bud.
Guide on how to complete this sublevel:


Move onto another area where there are 2 Flighty Joustmite. If you kill them you will be able to move the [[Mega Horn]] safely. There is also a white Candypop Bud there, which can help with the [[Doodlebug]] and poisonous mushrooms later on. In the same area there is also a tunnel, which can make transferring treasure a lot easier.
I started by going to the right on where we start, this will take you to an area with 4 {{icon|Shearwig|y|v=P4}}’ you will need to kill these by throwing pikmin at them. You then need to move on to smashing the ceramic vases with {{icon|Oatchi|y|v=P4}}. This will also smash the ceramic vase on top of all the cans which drops the treasure {{icon|Chance Totem|y|v=P4}}. But it means you can access {{icon|Raw material|y|v=P4}}’s aswell. On the opposite side of where the materials are there is a {{icon|Flighty Joustmite|y|v=P4}} you will need to kill this by throwing pikmin onto the back side of it and avoiding it’s face. Whilst also being in that area another 4 {{icon|Shearwig|y|v=P4}}’s you will need to kill these as well. This is when you can access the treasures. The first one is {{icon| Memory Fragment (Center Left)|y|v=P4}} and the second one is {{icon|Chance Totem|y|v=P4}}. After that you can break the mushrooms apart so that you can access the {{icon|Candypop Bud|y|v=P4|n=Ivory Candypop Bud}}.  


You will then move onto an area where there will be a [[Swooping Snitchbug]] with some sticky mould patches. Once you have defeated both, walk over a patch to reveal a [[Doodlebug]]. Hitting its back will give you bomb rocks. However, it will also trigger lots of [[Mitite]]s. The Snitchbug may grab one of the bomb rocks dropped by the Doodlebug, and as bomb rocks flip the Doodlebug over, will cause a chain reaction. On the left hand side, you can send any Pikmin to these mushrooms, however the ones with the blue spores coming out need to be hit by only the White Pikmin. Once all obstacles in the area have been cleared, you can send Pikmin to retrieve the pile of [[Gold Nugget]]s and then a few Pikmin to hit down the sand barrier that has the tunnel exit behind.  
You can then move onto another area where there is are 2 {{icon|Flighty Joustmite|y|v=P4}}’s. If you kill them you will be able to move the treasure {{icon|Mega Horn|y|v=P4}} safely. There is also a {{icon|Candypop Bud|y|v=P4|n=Ivory Candypop Bud}} which you can throw 5 pikmin of your choice into and it will give you {{icon|White Pikmin|y|v=P4}}. In the same area there is also a tunnel, when you send pikmin to dig in it will make transferring treasure a lot more easier now beacuse it brings them out just in front of the area to take the treasures to.  


The last area holds a [[Joustmite]] and a Swooping Snitchbug, though there are no more treasures, and this will simply just clear the way back to the S.S. Beagle.
You will then move onto an area where there will be a {{icon|Swooping Snitchbug|y|v=P4}} where you will need to kill that’s o you can get to the sticky mould patches. Once you have killed that if you walk over a certain patch a {{icon|Doodlebug|y|v=P4}} but you can only use {{icon|White Pikmin|y|v=P4}} to hit it. It will give you {{icon|Raw material|y|v=P4}}. However, it will also trigger lots of {{icon|Mitite|y|v=P4}} which will set the pikmin running around a lot if you call them all back whilst on {{icon|Oatchi|y|v=P4}} then it should be easier to kill them all. Once you have killed all of them you will be able to access the mushrooms. All the mushrooms on the left hand side you can send any pikmin to them however the ones with the blue spores coming out need to be hit by only the {{icon|White Pikmin|y|v=P4}}. Once all the area is cleared you can send pikmin to retrieve the {{icon|Gold Nugget|y|v=P4}}’s and then a few pikmin to hit down the sand barrier that has the tunnel exit behind.  


{{clear}}
The last area which links to where the beginning is, when you go to the left of the sand barrier there is a {{icon|Joustmite|y|v=P4}} and a {{icon|Swooping Snitchbug|y|v=P4}}. This just clears the area and then you can head back to where the tunnel exit is a progress onto the last sublevel.

First break the egg next to where you begin. Then go into the arena area and try to clear the sticky moulds on both sides without waking the [[Sovereign Bulblax]] up. Make sure all the eggs are smashed so that if you need to make your Pikmin stronger during the fight those are already pre-broken. Once you get wake the Sovereign Bulblax up, make sure that you are always on Oatchi so the Pikmin are not all over the place and you can easily call them back when they are thrown off it. However, when the monster pushes you off Oatchi with his roar, you need to make sure you call all Pikmin back and get on him as soon as possible. A good idea is to quickly jump off of Oatchi right before they roar to prevent getting briefly stunned. If you need to hide, there are leafs the Sovereign Bulblax can’t find you in. Once you defeat the monster the Castaway will come out of it and if you break the big egg it will give you Raw materials. The area will open up where the way out is but there is also a treasure in there which is a [[Sweet Stumble-Not]].
