The following article or section contains guides.
The strategies shown are just suggestions.

The Secluded Courtyard is a cave in the Blossoming Arcadia in Pikmin 4. 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 × 845 worth of treasure.

How to reach[edit]

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.

Notes[edit]

Olimar's Voyage Log[edit]

“In the natural world, there are many examples of strategic mimicry, where one lulls their prey into perceived safety…but I never thought I would witness it firsthand! I now know danger can lurk in even the jiggliest places.”

Sublevel 1[edit]

Map of sublevel 1.

Treasures:
- Citrus Lump × 1
- Decorative Goo × 1
- Universal Rubber Cutie × 1
Enemies:
- Wolpole × 2
- Skitter Leaf × 12 (10 fall from the sky)
- Sunsquish × 1 (inside egg)
Obstacles:
- Potted plant × 1
Tools:
- None
Wild Pikmin:
- Blue Pikmin × 5 (fighting Wolpole)
- Blue Pikmin × 5 (sprouts)
Others:
- Egg × 3

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[edit]

Map of sublevel 2.

Treasures:
- Disguised Delicacy × 1
- Talisman of Life (Cherry Blossom) × 1
- Time Marker × 1
Enemies:
- Yellow Wollyhop × 2
- Anode Dweevil × 4
Obstacles:
- Water spout × 3
- Dirt wall × 1
Tools:
- Climbing stick × 1
Wild Pikmin:
- Yellow Pikmin × 5 (sprouts)
Others:
- Castaway × 1
- Raw material pile × 1 (15 pieces)
- Egg × 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 – 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[edit]

Map of sublevel 3.

Treasures:
- Astringent Clump × 1
- Blonde Impostor × 1
- Gold Nugget × 15
Enemies:
- Sunsquish × 4 (1 inside large egg)
- Desiccated Skitter Leaf × 5
Obstacles:
- Electric gate × 1
- Iron fence × 2
- Water spout × 3
Tools:
- None
Wild Pikmin:
- Blue Pikmin × 5 (fighting Sunsquish)
- Candypop Bud (Yellow) × 1 (if 5 or less Yellow Pikmin)
Others:
- Flarlic × 1
- Dirt-mound × 1 (containing 25 raw materials)
- Raw material pile x 1 (15 pieces)
- Egg × 1 (in place of Candypop Bud if more than 5 Yellow Pikmin)
- Egg (large) × 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 – 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[edit]

Map of sublevel 4.

Treasures:
- Expression Hider × 1
Enemies:
- Foolix × 1
Obstacles:
- Numbered gate × 1 (opens when 1 Foolix is defeated)
- Potted plant × 1
Tools:
- None
Wild Pikmin:
- None
Others:
- Castaway × 1 (inside Foolix)
- Egg (large) × 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[edit]

Louie specifically mentions this cave ("blah-blah Courtyard") in his second Fit for a Feast quest, when requesting two Yellow Wollyhops.
- Unlike his other requests, this is the only cavern where Yellow Wollyhops appear belowground, meaning the request cannot be fulfilled anywhere else.

 == How to reach ==
-If you go to the Fragrant Ravine and head over to the southern end of the bridge that leads up to the Misshapen Pond, and then go southeast until you are fairly close to the mushroom bridge, and then you go towards the southern end of the map by going southeast again, once you destroy the dirt wall to get there, you should see a slope. If you go up the slope and destroy the electric gate, you should be able to go to the entrance to the Secluded Courtyard. You should be able to determine which direction is south by viewing the map and then pressing X so that the map isn't rotated relative to the direction of the camera.
+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.
