The Giant's Hearth is the fifth area in Pikmin 4. It takes place just outside a camping site with a tent and fences visible in the background, and an extinguished brick fire pit and a wooden folding chair can be seen as prominent parts of the level. This area has  × 5,200 worth of treasure, of which  × 1,760 is above ground.

Plot

The Rescue Corps goes to this area in search of Nelle, a Koppaite who may be able to cure Oatchi's tail. Right after landing, the player character and Oatchi see Louie and Moss with a castaway who looks like Alph from Pikmin 3. They follow Louie into a cave where he tries to turn the castaway into a leafling. The process fails and he challenges them to a Dandori Battle. Upon defeat, Louie runs off with Moss and the Rescue Corps duo saves the castaway, a different Koppaite named Yorke. In one of the area's three regular caves, the player and Oatchi also rescue Yorke's partner Don Bergman. Yorke and Don Bergman can be rescued in either order.

After Yorke and Don Bergman are reunited, Shepherd asks Don Bergman what happened to Nelle. He remembers seeing a dog-like creature drag her further into the Primordial Thicket.

Layout

The following article or section is in need of assistance from someone who plays Pikmin 4. Particularly: Describe the layout of the area and its key sections.

The following notable features can be found in this area.

• A pool section with a few Wolpoles.
• A large campfire, with a pair of bases nearby.
• A working water pump in the Dandori Battle area.
• A box in which Dream Home is situated.
• An alley of pillows.
• Several Sprinklers, requiring a clay valve to be built.
• Several Dried plant obstacles requiring fire starters to remove them.
• A reinforced wall that leads to the area's Sovereign Bulblax and the Rock Onion.
• As part of the background:
  • The trunk of a tree. Its leaves are too high to see.
  • A red camp chair. Its legs are visible on the terrain, and the player character can go under it.

Bases

Dandori Challenge 1

Located at the top of the fire pit/grill, on the side that's only accessible by using a fire starter to reach the protruding bricks that can allow Oatchi to jump all the way to the top.

Dandori Challenge 2

Located past a sprinkler on the plateau near the Line of Logs base.

Dandori Challenge 3

Located near the entrance to Dream Home, can be accessed either by pulling down a clipboard to make a bridge for the gap above or by turning off a sprinkler below and using a fire starter to reach the alcove.

Dandori Battle

The area's Dandori Battle cave, Hot Sandy Duel, can be found near the 3rd base. Down the hill, it is surrounded by shallow water and a low ledge, meaning Oatchi can jump right up to it with ease.
