The Hectic Hollows is a cave in the Sun-Speckled Terrace in Pikmin 4. It has two sublevels, and 20 Ice Pikmin can be found inside. Due its higher presence of enemies compared to other caves in the area, it could be considered the area's hardest. The final sublevel has an encounter with a Tusked Blowhog. While water is the only hazard, Ice Pikmin are prefered to be used to avoid it over Blue Pikmin as to also take care of the hydro jelly. This cave has  × 450 worth of treasure.

How to reach

The cave is located right next to the area's first base, Ancient Arches, but cannot be reached due to the entrance being on a high ledge requiring Oatchi's jump ability. Once unlocked, simply jump up the ledge and the cave will be accessible.

Notes

Olimar's Voyage Log

“Someone or something built a rough wall inside the cave. The Pikmin and I were able to scramble up, but Moss was unable to climb up the wall. I'll have to leave her behind for now and hope we can find a way or a place to meet up.”
