'''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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
