The Burrow of Beginnings is the first cave in Pikmin 4, and the only one in the Rescue Command Post. It has a single sublevel with no wild Pikmin or treasures, and very few enemies and obstacles. It is first explored with Collin and is where Shepherd is rescued. It has an exit leading to the base near the S.S. Shepherd.
How to Reach
During the beginning tutorial, after the player avatar finds Collin and Oatchi, you will be leaded to a high ledge you cannot progress over. Behind it is a cave entrance covered in dirt, which must be cleared away using Oatchi. From there, you can proceed into the cave.
Because the cave entrance and exit are both are high ledges, the cave only be re-entered once Oatchi has learned to jump. However, the Bulborb Larvae will not respawn and there is no real reason to go through the cave a second time.
Sublevel 1
- Enemies:
Bulborb Larva × 3 (doesn’t respawn after first defeat)
- Obstacles:
- Jar × 5

Trivia
- Unlike many others, this cave does not have any notes from Olimar or Louie. This likely implies neither of them named or even explored the cave; indeed, the Rescue Command Post is not among the areas that Olimar explores in his Shipwreck Tale.
- Due to being the tutorial cave, and before obtaining Pikmin, this cave is the only cave in Pikmin 4 that does not contain any wild Pikmin.
- The cave suggests Red Pikmin upon re-entry, despite no Pikmin being needed to clear it the first time.
