Dark Forest Cave

Across the sludge lake in the Forest Depths, one of the pathways leads to an ascending trail with scenic views of the huge forest. At the top, you'll have to build the longest bridge in the game across the thundering gorge while fighting off enemy attacks from above in the form of many bridge-destroying enemies. One section of the journey is actually volcanic, so prepare to have Red Pikmin protect the rest of your forces. The bridge ends at the other side of the gorge in a high-up area. Make your way through the labyrinth of enemy-infested branches and enter the dungeon once you find it! It's the longest you've encountered yet at 17 floors! Expect a dark, twisting journey through the roots of trees and into the legendary subterranean forest. The boss here is complicated, but after its defeat, you'll have five Dark Spores and the sixth area, Penumbra Plains, will be open to you... you've finished five out of six dark caves. The end draws near.
