(The area name's context is given in Journal Entry #10, which uses the same term in Japanese. It is Olimar cursing the Plasm Wraith as a miserable/wretched beast.) |

The Formidable Oak is a large termite hill found in a steppe climate. From the top of the termite hill, one can access the cave system, which is the largest cave system in ''Pikmin 3''. It has all sorts of areas, from open rooms to tight corridors, with some [[segment]]s connecting with others. It also boasts much biodiversity, having enemies like the Arachnode and the Bearded Amprat all in the same cave as well as some enemies that are found nowhere else, such as the Watery Blowhog and the Shearwig. However, whenever enemies are defeated, they disintegrate into plasm, possibly meaning that they are illusions created by the Plasm Wraith.

This area is also home to all 5 colors of [[Candypop Bud]] in ''Pikmin 3''. South of the landing site is a circular arena which is where the Plasm Wraith is fought. Interestingly, the pattern on the ground of the arena resembles the few islands near the [[Smoky Progg]]'s egg from [[The Distant Spring]] in ''[[Pikmin (game)|Pikmin]].'' | ||

When you first enter the first room and get started in earnest, the first thing to note is to move forward. There is exactly one path you can take, and that path will lead to a [[Bulborb]] and six [[Dwarf Bulborb]]s. Defeat at least the ones on the left side (facing the way you entered said room), and put all of your Pikmin to work on the dirt wall opposite. Brittany now has a full loop she can take to make the Mysterious Life-Form completely ignore you, making solving the puzzles here a lot easier, provided you remind Brittany to Go Here! in a triangular fashion whenever prompted. | When you first enter the first room and get started in earnest, the first thing to note is to move forward.

Roll it down the hill to destroy a crystal wall, and get access to an alcove containing [[Shearwig]]s, two [[Candypop Bud]]s (yellow and rock), a dirt mound with three bomb rocks, and a [[data file]]. Collect these bomb rocks: they are really valuable later. | ||
In this main hub itself, you will find a [[Fiery Blowhog]], a [[Watery Blowhog]], a [[Bearded Amprat]], and two [[Swooping Snitchbug]]s. Defeat them all, remembering to use each enemy's specific weakness (Red, Blue, Yellow, and Winged/Rock, in that order) to defeat them. Dig into the dirt mound here to find 20 fragments, and there are 30 fragments in the center of the room. Use these to build the bridge, and then defeat the [[Arachnode]] opposite. There is also a [[paper bag]] in the corridor to the west (near the Bearded Amprat) that, if pushed, will grant Brittany a bigger loop, making it so you have to attend to her less often. | In this main hub itself, you will find a [[Fiery Blowhog]], a [[Watery Blowhog]], a [[Bearded Amprat]], and two [[Swooping Snitchbug]]s.
