The Kingdom of Beasts is a cave in the Blossoming Arcadia in Pikmin 4, located in the southern section of the area. It is the hardest cave in the area, with 6 sublevels and many dangerous enemies. Specifically, the many members of the grub-dog family and pseudooculii genus of the Breadbug family, including a boss encounter with the Empress Bulblax and two Emperor Bulblaxes. This cave has Sparklium × 933 worth of treasure.

How to reachEdit

Start by going east from the Misshapen Pond base. Build the climbing wall and activate the potted mushrooms by walking over them or by rushing into them with Oatchi. Go up the wall and across the activated mushrooms, use Ice Pikmin to destroy the ice wall, and dig up the entrance to the cave.

NotesEdit

Olimar's Voyage LogEdit

Many types of Bulblax have settled in this cave. Perhaps their empire... To them, I’m just a foreign invader that must be eradicated. If the danger becomes unavoidable, I’ll need to rely on some of the items I brought with me.

Sublevel 1Edit

Destroy the dirt wall next to where you begin, then use Red Pikmin to destroy the sizzling floors near the Bulborb without waking it up. Once you're done, rush at the Bulborb with Oatchi. Continue onwards and do the same for the next Bulborb, then destroy the hazards present in the level with Red Pikmin and gather all the treasures.

Sublevel 2Edit

Go the opposite direction of the gate and crush the Orange Dwarf Bulborb. Be wary of the bush near this enemy, as it has some Mitites. Go right and kill the 2 Orange Dwarf Bulborbs to get Rock Pikmin, allowing you to destroy the crystal walls. Prioritize destroying the crystal wall near the S.S. Beagle first. As the Rock Pikmin slowly destroy the crystal wall, go on and fight the regular Orange Bulborb. Rush it with Oatchi from the front, as this makes most Pikmin on Oatchi attack the enemy in the eye. Go towards the dead end on the left, as there's an hidden treasure there that requires 10 Pikmin to carry. By now, the Rock Pikmin would have destroyed the crystal wall. Go through it and go the opposite direction of where the crystal wall originally was. Jump on top of the platform and crush the Orange Dwarf Bulborb, obtaining 5 more Rock Pikmin. Use 5 Rock Pikmin each for the two remaining crystal walls to destroy them around the same time. Grab the last treasure and go on to the next floor.

Sublevel 3Edit

This is the first boss fight in the cave. After waking up the Empress Bulblax, the fight will start. If you wish to defeat the Empress quickly, rush with Oatchi onto the front. If you hit the Empress in the head, your Pikmin cannot be crushed until they're shaken off. Repeat this process until the Empress Bulblax is defeated. However, if you want minimal deaths from this fight, use your Rock Pikmin to attack the Empress. Though slow, this strategy guarantees minimal deaths, as Rock Pikmin can't be crushed.

Sublevel 4Edit

Proceed through the only regular path and destroy the fire geyser. Don't instantly grab the nuggets to your left, since there's no path. Destroy the other fire geyser and rush at the Whiptongue Bulborb with Oatchi, hopefully defeating it. Lower the clipboard to clear a path (it requires 20 Pikmin), start destroying the crystal wall and use 20 Pikmin to carry the Gold Nuggets. Use Oatchi to lower the gates. Destroy the last fire geyser to grab the Planetary Rubber Cutie. Go back to the Beagle and through the now lowered gate. Rush at the Whiptongue Bulborb and then crush the Albino Dwarf Bulborbs. Grab the final treasure, destroy the sizzling floor and proceed.

Sublevel 5Edit

Go right, start destroying the crystal wall and rush at the Spotty Bulbear. Once defeated, your Pikmin will automatically attack the Dwarf Bulbears. Grab the Chance Totems and proceed. Crush the Dwarf Bulbear and go get the next treasure, though be wary, as a Dwarf Bulbear will fall from the sky. Go on and grab the last treasure. Before proceeding to the next level, pluck the Rock Pikmin near the exit.

Sublevel 6Edit

See also: Emperor Bulblax#Strategy.

Remember that, if only one of the Emperor Bulblaxes is active, the first thing the active Emperor will do is screech, activating the other one. This means that the best strategy available is to rush the first Bulblax as soon as it is vulnerable with Oatchi, before it can screech, and thus, activate the other Emperor. You can manage to do this after starting with 50 Pikmin in the cave: due to the high amount of wild Pikmin in the cave, you should normally end the cave with around 80 Pikmin. If this strategy is successful, you can attack the relatively weak Emperor Bulblaxes one at a time. Just remember to throw a Pikmin to activate the Bulblaxes instead of going near them, as they will knock you back in that case. This strategy should make the fight pitifully easy. Afterwards, destroy the fire geysers and collect the final treasure in the cave.

TriviaEdit

  • The name "Kingdom of Beasts" references two caves from Pikmin 2: the Hole of Beasts and the Bulblax Kingdom. Both include a wide variety of grub-dogs, and both of their boss encounters appear in the Kingdom of Beasts (the Empress Bulblax and Emperor Bulblax respectively).
    • Additionally, the sublevels both bosses are fought in are similar to the sublevels they are fought in both these cave's final sublevels.
  • This is the second longest cave in Pikmin 4 and the only cave along with the final cave to have more than 5 sublevels, despite being in the second area of the game.
