TheSightless Passage is acave in theBlossoming Arcadia inPikmin 4. While the cave has only 1 sublevel, it consists of five large rooms interconnected by many narrow pathways. Manyfire andelectric hazards are also present, requiring the use ofRed Pikmin andYellow Pikmin. As the name implies, the entire cave is also shrouded in intense darkness. It's recommended the player purchase theHeadlamp upgrade before entering, though it is not required. This cave has × 510 worth of treasure.

How to reach[edit]

From the Misshapen Pond base location, it's a simple walk up a slope to the cave entrance. The exit of this cave leads to an otherwise unreachable part of the area, and the cave can be re-entered from here.

  •  Dirt wall × 1
  •  Electric gate × 1
  •  Fire geyser × 4
  •  Iron fence × 4

Heading south, you'll find a loneWater Dumple. Defeat the enemy and head down the bottom right path, entering the section containing aPyroclasmic Slooch. UsingRed Pikmin, defeat the Slooch and the nearbyfire geysers, and then collect theMicromanagement Station. There will be some Red Pikminsprouts in the southern alcove that can be plucked if needed. Heading back to the base, you'll spot a group ofbreakable pots. Smash them using a Rush fromOatchi (or anexplosive item) and defeat another Water Dumple on the opposite side. On a ledge towards the south, you'll find theMasterpiece Plank. Have Oatchi Rush into the ledge to knock it down and then collect it. Heading right, you'll see a patch of vegetation that contains someYellow Pikmin sprouts. Head towards the northwest, and there will be a long pathway leading to an alternate base location.

This base is guarded by fourAnode Beetles. Defeat them using Yellow Pikmin and call over theS.S. Beagle. North of this base is aniron fence. Behind this fence are some more Yellow Pikmin sprouts. The path left of the base leads to a pair ofsizzling floors being inhabited by more Pyroclasmic Slooches. Once more, use Red Pikmin to defeat the two Slooches. Towards the northeast is another alcove containing a pile of 10raw materials. Before you leave this area, use Oatchi's Command skill to sniff out the nearby treasure and have him (and some additional Pikmin) dig it up. Once the treasure, theHeat Sensor, has been dug up completely, have some Pikmin carry it back and enter the next section towards the right. There will be a high ledge containing acastaway, meaning Oatchi will need to Rush into it. Once more, head into the next section (after thedirt wall is destroyed).

This section contains another alternate base location, guarded by a loneShockcake. Defeat the enemy and call the S.S. Beagle over. Smash the nearby breakable pots and send Oatchi into thepup tunnel. Once Oatchi has exited the tunnel, have him carry back theHoop of Healing. Slightly south is anelectric gate. Once destroyed, enter the new section that contains someCommon Glowcaps and have some Pikmin attach the nearbyclimbing stick. If the Glowcaps are interacted with, a group of Mitites will unearth themselves, panicking all nearby Pikmin and Oatchi. Once the stick is fully built, collect the pile of 10 raw materials. Return back to the section where the castaway was rescued and build theclay mound. Once built, exit the cave using the fan.
