Quick Links
Did you think the Blossoming Arcadia had a lot of treasure? Well, it did! But the Serene Shores has even more, making for one ofPikmin 4’s largest and most time-consuming areas yet. And with the tides shifting at mid-day, it only gets more complicated. Some treasure only shows up in low tide, after all.

A quick remark, however. This is the first area that White Pikmin become available. We recommend getting a hold of them early on. They are required for uncovering certain buried treasures around the map. If you were stuck at 99 percent for the other maps, it’s likely because you need a White Pikmin with you.
Serene Shores Surface Treasure Locations
The surface of the Serene Shores offers something unique:low tide. At the mid-day mark, the water will lower, creating more land and granting access to more area. Keep this in mind as you travel. Due to the massive amount of water here,assume that all treasures will require Blue Pikmin. Beyond that, a handful will requireYellow and Ice Pikmin. So we recommend bringing some of them, too.
