Guide[edit]
When you first begin this area, traverse towards and completeLast-Frost Cavern, then move towards theMeandering Slope while collectingtreasures andcreatures along the way. If possible, try to collect theYellow Onion on this day, asYellow Pikmin will be useful for collecting treasures. Doing this should bring you to about 25% of the area. The next day, continue exploring Sun-Speckled Terrace, entering caves and collecting moretreasures until you can go to the next area,Blossoming Arcadia. However, if you want to 100% this area, continue exploring and collecting. It’s recommended to save theDandori Battle/Challenges last, as collectingCastaways and boostingOatchi’s abilities will help doing Dandori. Be aware that at least 30Ice Pikmin and 10 otherPikmin are required to obtain theBlue Onion, as well as 15Raw Materials. You should be able to complete this area in at least the first 10 days.

The upper section of the area, where the Distant Summit base is located in the main story, is inaccessible during Olimar's exploration in the area.
