The Frontier Cavern is the last cavern found in the of Repose] area. To get to it, you may have to clear the area of [http://worldselectshop.com/?id=9361 Cannon Beetles, and a [http://worldselectshop.com/?id=9361 Burrow-nit]. Before building the bridge to the upper section, where the entrance is, you should get rid of the Blowhog] in the area. The Bulblax] is slightly different than the one in of Beasts] in that it gives birth to Larva] every few seconds. In this cave, there are 1395 [http://worldselectshop.com/?id=9361 worth of treasures.

Before starting this cave, you should probably have a good number of purple and blue pikmin. Make sure you have all the other types too. On the first sublevel there should be some doodle bugs which, getting enough pikmin thrown on, should give out some sprays. Be sure to stock up on them.

Time to have a rematch with the Empress Bulblax, only this time, she produces Bulborb Larva, always ravenous Grub-dogs. Have one captain clear out all or most of the larvae and have the other toss all the Pikmin up on the ledge behind the landing point. Have the captain you sent out call all the Pikmin and fight the obese Grub-dog. There is not difference in the fight except for the fact that she produces larva. Don't worry about the larva after engaging the empress in combat as she will squish them when she does her rolling attack. After the battle, collect the Repugnant Appendage and kill any remaining Bulborb Larva. The Repugnant Appendage will grant the captains a massive speed boost and the resistance to a Blowhog]'s exhaling attack. Exit the geyser and continue your treasure hunt.
