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.

== How to reach ==
The Cradle of the Beast resides in the southern part of the map, guarded by a [[Bloomcap Bloyster]] and blocked by hay bales. There are two paths the player can take to reach this area, both of which require using [[Fire starter|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 [[Wolpole|Wolpoles]] that must be drained to get a fire starter to the hay bale 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 hay bales surrounding it.
