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
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
Olimar's Voyage Log
Sublevel 1
- Treasures:
- 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
- Treasures:
- Enemies:
Yellow Wollyhop × 2
Anode Dweevil × 4
- Obstacles:
Water generator × 3
Dirt wall × 1
- Tools:
Climbing stick × 1
- Wild Pikmin:
Yellow Pikmin × 5 (sprouts)
- Others:
Castaway × 1
Raw material pile × 1 (15 piece pile)- 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
- Treasures:
- Enemies:
- Sunsquish × 4 (1 inside large egg)
Desiccated Skitter Leaf × 5
- Obstacles:
Electric gate × 1
Iron fence × 2- Water generator × 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 piece pile)
- 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
- Treasures:
- Enemies:
- Obstacles:
Numbered gate × 1 (opens when 1 Foolix is defeated)- Potted plant × 1
- Tools:
- None
- Wild Pikmin:
- None
- Others:
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.
