The '''Primordial Thicket''' is the sixth and final [[area]] in ''[[Pikmin 4]]''. It consists of a large, muddy forest. It contains 15 surface treasures, 74 cave treasures, 8 rescues (5 Castaways and 3 Leaflings), and 3 [[Onion]]s. There are 7 caves in total, with one being a [[Dandori Battle]] cave and three being [[Dandori Challenge]] caves.

The '''Primordial Thicket''' is the sixth and final [[area]] in ''[[Pikmin 4]]''. It is set in a large autumnal and muddy forest.

There are 7 caves in total, with one being a [[Dandori Battle]] cave and three being [[Dandori Challenge]] caves.

==Plot==
After the [[Rescue Corps]] reunites [[Yorke]] and [[Don Bergman]], Don Bergman remembers seeing a dog-like creature drag their partner [[Nelle]] deeper into a forest. Yorke upgrades the [[S.S. Shepherd]] so that it can scan this area.
 
Right as the [[Pikmin 4 player character|player character]] and [[Oatchi]] set foot in the Primordial Thicket, they see [[Louie]] and [[Moss]] holding an unconscious Nelle. They follow Louie into a cave where he tries to turn Nelle into a [[leafling]], as he had attempted with Yorke. The process fails again and Louie challenges them to a [[Dandori Battle]]. Upon defeat, Louie runs away, abandoning Nelle as well as Moss. The morning after Nelle is rescued, she informs the crew that to cure [[Oatchi]]'s tail, they will need cells from a non-leafling dog.
 
An entry in Louie's voyage log reveals that he found a large dog called the [[Ancient Sirehound]], whose den is in the [[Cavern for a King]]. When the Rescue Corps duo confonts Louie at the bottom of the cave, he climbs on top the dog which proceeds to attack. Defeating the Ancient Sirehound yields Louie and the dog's [[Gift of Friendship|collar]]. [[Yonny]] extracts some of the Ancient Sirehound's cells from the collar and makes a cure that reverts Oatchi to normal, allowing everyone to leave PNF-404 safely.

=== Dandori Challenge 3 ===
=== Dandori Challenge 3 ===
This Dandori Challenge must be accessed by pushing a [[Cardboard Box]] down in the [[Beckoning Mannequin]] area, past the dirt wall near The Autumnal Gully base. To do this, [[White Pikmin]] are needed to destroy the [[poison]] geysers. Destroying them will guide the Pikmin toward the box, and they will lock on automatically. If you do not throw enough White Pikmin (10) to push down the box, you can throw Pikmin from the other side of the wall once the poison has been eliminated. From there, Oatchi is needed to jump up the slopes to the cave's entrance across the box.
