The '''Hole of Beasts''' ({{j|けだものの穴|Keda Mono no Ana|Hole of Beasts}}) is a [[cave]] in the [[Awakening Wood]] in {{p2}}. It is likely the second cave one will enter in the game, and has a fairly short length and easy difficulty. This cave contains the [[hazard]] of [[fire]], and its boss is an [[Empress Bulblax]]. In this cave, there are {{pokos|1,100}} worth of treasure.
The '''Hole of Beasts''' is one of the first caves that the player will likely go in first in the [[Awakening Wood]], and is slightly harder and deeper than the [[Emergence Cave]], but still very easy. This cave's potential hazard is the element of fire.


==How to reach==
In order to get to the Hole of Beasts, the player needs to have destroyed the black gate near the two [[Ultra-spicy spray|Ultra-spicy berry]] bearing [[Burgeoning Spiderwort|Burgeoning Spiderworts]], and then pass or defeat the few enemies in the way. In the opposite direction of the crushable bag, the entrance can be found in a dark corner. It is in the exact same place where the [[Extraordinary Bolt]] was in ''[[Pikmin (game)|Pikmin]]''. In this cave, there are 1,100 [[poko]]s worth of treasure.
{{location map | width = 242 | height = 334 | image = AW texture.png | bg = #111 | caption = Location of the cave. | icons =

}}
Near the landing site is a pair of [[Burgeoning Spiderwort]]s bearing ultra-spicy berries. Beyond is a [[Cloaking Burrow-Nit]] and [[Creeping Chrysanthemum]]. Following the path both are on and turning right leads to the cave, located in the spot where the [[Extraordinary Bolt]] was found in {{p1}}.


Like the [[Emergence Cave]], very few Pikmin are likely available to you, and your squad is thus equally limited. Bringing all [[Purple Pikmin]] available to you, and filling the remainder of your squad with as many [[Red Pikmin]] as you can is recommended.

The first sublevel of the Hole of Beasts is relatively simple, with only a few Sheargrubs to worry about, all in the room after the landing site. Only the [[Male Sheargrub]]s need defeating, as the others are harmless. Once that has been done, it is time to retrieve the Stone of Glory, the sublevel's only treasure.

This sublevel has no enemies, but may be the first place where you are introduced to the game's most common [[hazard]]: fire. As long as you have at least 15 [[Red Pikmin]], this sublevel should pose no problems. If any [[Purple Pikmin|Purple]] or other non-Red Pikmin catch on fire, just [[whistle]] them to save them.


Take only Red Pikmin through into the next room and [[swarm]] them to pick up the Strife Monolith, which is in the fireplace-like dark space, and the Cosmic Archive, located near the hole to the next sublevel.

Find the [[Bulborb|Red Bulborb]] and throw [[Purple Pikmin]] at it to defeat the enemy and get the Dream Architect. Then take your Pikmin to the curved alcove to find the Luck Wafer, a very light, but valuable treasure. Nearby is a [[Violet Candypop Bud]]; this one never disappears no matter how many Purples you possess.
In one of the alcoves not containing any of the [[egg]]s found here, there will be a swarm of [[Mitite]]s that reveal themselves before scuttling around. [[Throw]] your Purple Pikmin to defeat them in order to get, in some cases, much-needed [[nectar]]. After your scavenging is complete, proceed to the final sublevel of this cave.

The last sublevel of the Hole of Beasts holds a very strange and large creature, an Empress Bulblax. This is the only enemy in the sublevel, and unlike later Empress Bulblaxes in the game, it does not produce [[Bulborb Larvae]], and it also has less health. To defeat it, throw Pikmin onto its head, and then whistle them to prevent them from being shaken off when necessary. Do not attempt to pursue it from the side though, as it has a dangerous rolling attack that can crush Pikmin. Once defeated, it will drop the [[Prototype Detector]], a treasure that will make finding other treasures much easier. Collect it and leave the cave via the [[geyser]].

The last sublevel of the Hole of Beasts holds a very strange and large creature, an Empress Bulblax; as the name suggests, it is a female matriarch, making it seem simple why it is a boss. This one, though, out of the several you are yet to see, ''does not'' produce the small, aggravating vermin known as [[Bulborb Larva]]e. If you know what these are beforehand, you should be relieved that you will not find them ''in this sublevel''.
Just follow the instructions on how to defeat it [[Empress Bulblax#Strategy|here]], and the treasure is yours. Throw Pikmin onto its head to pummel the beast, and then call them to prevent them from being shaken off when necessary. The boss will roll around in attempt to squash your Pikmin, but luckily it can only roll horizontally.
However, '''do not''' attempt to pursue it with your army, as you and your Pikmin can not attack it if it is in movement. Also, attempting to throw Pikmin at it will result in them flying off her and landing right in the path of the Empress, enabling her to crush them. Also, any Pikmin thrown off will continue to attempt to attack the Empress and will more than likely be squashed.
Should you be standing in its track, you will still have time to [[Group move|swarm]] your Pikmin against a small, but noticeable indent in the wall to prevent you and the Pikmin from being smashed. When you defeat it, it will drop one of the most renowned treasures in the game, the [[Prototype Detector]]. This device allows you to unlock the [[Treasure Gauge]], a very important machine that will track down any treasure in this world, making this very useful indeed. Once you complete this last sublevel, you may exit via the geyser.
