This is it, folks. Welcome to the final area ofPikmin 4. This poison-pocked landscape will prove resistant and inhospitable, but it’s the only place left to collect treasure. You’ll find Flarlic, Pink Onion, and all sorts of fungal-looking enemies here.

The treasure counter will be misleading, with nearly half of the treasure to be found all hiding within a single cave only accessible by progressing in the main story. Don’t worry if you don’t get it all; you’re able to always come back after to collect the rest. But if you prefer to be a completionist on the first go, you may want to get everything you can before pursuing Louie.
Be Advised: This guide contains spoilers for the end of the game, starting at the Cavern For A King section and beyond.
