The '''Formidable Oak''' ({{j|哀しき獣の塔|Kanashiki Kemono no Tō|Tower of the Sorrowful Beast}}) is the fifth and final area of ''[[Pikmin 3]]''. It is home to the final [[boss]], the [[Plasm Wraith]]. The leaders come here after being pointed to it by [[Louie]]. The area requires the use of all five [[pikmin family|Pikmin]] types discovered over the course of Story Mode. Most of the map is a massive cave system, in which the player must transport an unconscious [[Captain Olimar]] with at least 5 Pikmin (but up to 14, if Winged Pikmin are used) through the maze of puzzles and enemies, while making sure that the [[Plasm Wraith]] doesn't catch up to Olimar. After transporting him outside, the final boss fight with the Plasm Wraith will automatically begin. There are no [[fruit]]s to collect in this area, and the [[enemies]] disintegrate after being killed (aside from the [[Nectarous Dandelfly]]).

The '''Formidable Oak''' ({{j|哀しき獣の塔|Kanashiki Kemono no Tō|Tower of the Sorrowful Beast}}) is the final [[area]] in {{p3}}. It is set in a desert, with most of the area being in a large cave system. There are no [[fruit]]s in this area, as it functions as a final trial to test the player's knowledge of [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] types. The [[boss]] of the area is the [[Plasm Wraith]], but before the boss can be fought, the player must transport an unconscious [[Captain Olimar]] through a maze of puzzles and enemies while keeping him away from the [[Mysterious Life-Form]].

{{Spoiler|the final boss and ending of ''[[Pikmin 3]]''}}
After Louie has been rescued from the [[Quaggled Mireclops]], he discloses the location where he thinks [[Captain Olimar]] is, which happens to be at the Formidable Oak. As the Koppaites land in the area, they make their way up the termite hill, only to find an unconscious Olimar with a strange golden creature standing over him. As the explorers approach the life-form, it forms a protective bubble around Olimar, but with the help of the Pikmin, they free the captain in seconds. Since they can't take the same path they took up the termite hill to get back to the [[S.S. Drake]], they venture through the cave, as [[Brittany]] guides the carrier Pikmin.
