The Blossoming Arcadia region of Pikmin 4 hosts around 60 different treasure collectibles to find in locations that are all scattered between the surface and caves found in the area. The second major zone that you will come across in your adventure, there are plenty of new Pikmin types that can help reveal hidden items. However, a few treasures can't be discovered without special Pikmin you receive later, encouraging you to revisit the Arcadia.

The Rock Pikmin in Pikmin 4 are first encountered in the Blossoming Arcadia as allies that can break certain barriers throughout the world. These are perhaps the most important Pikmin to have when looking for treasures here, along with Blue and Yellow Pikmin from the main story. White Pikmin will also be needed to find the most elusive treasures in the Arcadia, so make sure to have Onions available for each type to grow plenty before traveling.

Pikmin 4 Blossoming Arcadia Surface Cutscene when Entering Area

According to TheGamer, there are 18 treasures on the surface of Blossoming Arcadia in Pikmin 4, sometimes in easy-to-reach spots but mostly guarded by enemies or in an awkward location. Dangerous enemies called Waddlequaff might even suck up the treasures before you can get them. To ensure this doesn't happen, bring enough Red Pikmin to take down these collectible-hungry foes quickly.

As per Game8.Co, some of the surface areas in Blossoming Arcadia can't be reached without traveling through the Sightless age cave in Pikmin 4. Thankfully, this area only has one level with four treasures and doesn't have as many enemies as the other caves in the region. Those looking to get to the next part of the surface quickly should consider building the headlamp gear to gather enough materials for important upgrades.
