Desert Oasis

Desert Oasis is the first area in Pikmin: Sinister Incinerator. It's a desolate little gulch in the middle of a hot desert. You start at the southernmost point of the map in a dead-end at the end of a chasm. After you find Purple Pikmin, they can weigh down the pressure barrier blocking the way forwards. After you go through the rest of the little chasm, you'll come to the main hub of the area: an oasis, the only source of water in miles. Unfortunately, the oasis is where the creatures live. You won't have to worry about solving the oasis puzzle until you get Blue Pikmin. In the meantime, be sure to knock down the poison black bramble gate near the path back to the landing site to find the Scavenger's Hideout. On the other side of the path back to the landing site is an area where cacti grow. If you follow this trail south again, you'll wind up at the Black Flower Garden. On the opposite side of the oasis, the path continues onwards past the electric gate to a rusty old compound with cinderblocks. You'll find the Scrap Metal Abyss in this general area. After you have Blue Pikmin and find out how to drain the oasis, you'll need to gather a large army of Pikmin and climb the northeastern cliffs to reach the area's last dungeon, the Dark Desert Cave.
