The Cavern For A King in Pikmin 4
The Cavern For A King in Pikmin 4 is no joke. This challenging boss rush cave is unlocked after defeating Louie in the Primordial Thicket, and represents the only way to capture him so that Oatchi can be cured of her affliction.
The Cavern For A King is a sublevel-based cave that’s made up of multiple floors. Each floor contains one or more boss fights, and you need to defeat all of the enemies in order to progress. Luckily, you can retrace your steps and head back to the surface if you need to gather more resources or buy better gear.
We’ve broken down the enemies you need to defeat and strategies for doing so in this Pikmin 4 Cavern For A King guide. If you’re looking for a treasure list, we’ve got that here.

The Cavern For A King isn’t just a series of rooms with random bosses. In fact, only the first and last sublevels are simple enough for us to describe without providing a map. The other areas are boss rooms that are designed to keep you moving, so we’ve left them off the maps for clarity.

Here’s a table that lists the bosses on each floor and the best strategies for defeating them.
Treasures
There are a lot of treasures in the Cavern For A King, and they’re far easier to find than the bosses. The treasures are dropped by the bosses and can be collected throughout the cave, but you can take the exit on sublevels 6, 12, and 19 if you need to gather more resources beforehand.
Here is a list of all the treasures found on each sublevel, along with their locations.
