Pikmin 4: Blossoming Arcadia Treasure Locations (2024)

This article is part of a directory: Pikmin 4: Complete Guide And Walkthrough

Buckle up, rescue rookie! If you thought the Sun-Speckled Terrace had a lot of treasure. The Blossoming Arcadia in Pikmin 4 has a whopping 60 treasures to find between the surface and its handful of cave systems. Don't be intimidated, though. While it's a lot, and a handful of them are rather well hidden, we've found each and every one, outlining their locations for you here.

If you didn't get a Yellow Pikmin Onion yet, you'll be given one with relative ease from this area. If you haven't gotten the Blue Pikmin Onion from the last area, we recommend you go back and get it. An affinity for water will prove very helpful in key sections of the map. Along the way, you'll also encounter a new Pikmin variation: Rock Pikmin. They are critical to certain treasures within the Kingdom of Beasts cave.

Updated on July 22, 2023, by Branden Lizardi: In classic collectathon style, you can't actually get every single treasure immediately. Some will require special Pikmin. Blossoming Arcadia had a completely invisible treasure that requires both White and Yellow Pikmin to access. While we had their locations marked, we've been able to unearth them properly. We've updated this guide with this information.

Blossoming Arcadia Surface Treasure Locations

The surface will have 20 treasures to collect. Some of them are buried, hidden inside holes, or held onto by enemies. A couple of them will also be at risk of being sucked up by a Waddlequaff. So be sure to defeat any of them you encounter (they're the long-mouthed vaccuum-looking enemies).
