The '''Cradle of the Beast''' is a [[cave]] in the [[Giant's Hearth]] in ''[[Pikmin 4]]''. It is named for its [[boss]], the [[Empress Bulblax]], which in this cave gives birth to [[Bulborb Larva]]e. [[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.

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.

The Cradle of the Beast is a cave in the Giant's Hearth in Pikmin 4. It is named for its boss, the Empress Bulblax, which in this cave gives birth to Bulborb Larvae. Purple Pikmin are useful here for carrying the larger treasures and stomping on smaller enemies. This cave has Sparklium × 1,305 worth of treasure.

How to reach[edit]

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 plants. There are two paths the player can take to reach this cave, both of which require using fire starters 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 Wolpoles 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.
