Using Oatchi, the player can simply throw Pikmin onto the beast, or charge the [[Winged Pikmin]] useful for the rest of the cave, then keep running in a circle around the beast making sure the player's entire squad is stored on Oatchi's back. The Man-At-Legs cannot fire ahead of the player, making this strategy flawless for a death-free defeat. This even works without [[Rush Boots]] or Doggy Paddle upgrades, although these upgrades are still advised because it is much easier for Oatchi to get shot with slower speed. The player must make sure to keep running and stay aware of their surroundings, however, as stopping even for a moment can lead to a massacre. | Using Oatchi, the player can simply throw Pikmin onto the beast, or charge the [[Winged Pikmin]] useful for the rest of the cave, then keep running in a circle around the beast making sure the player's entire squad is stored on Oatchi's back.

Without Oatchi, [[pot|Pots]] or [[Dirt wall|Dirt Walls]] serve as cover. The player must watch out as the health of these objects is limited; an in-tact dirt wall is only guarenteed to stop 1 round of bullets, and a damaged one will break just before the Arachnorb stops firing. It also takes around 3 pots to stop a round of bullets. This requires the player to pay attention to their positioning and switch cover when necessary. It should be noted the Man-At-Legs starts firing slower and less accurately, then picks up the pace as its magazine runs low in an attempt to kill Pikmin with its last few shots, this lets the player conserve health of their cover by wasting a few bullets before the Man-At-Legs goes into rapid fire. Make sure that you keep piling damage on the beast, since if all your cover breaks, you will be forced to use much less advantageous cover in the vacinity or you will be caught in fire. When fought in [[Olimar's Shipwreck Tale]] the [[Swarm|Lineup Trumpet]] can be used, with enough skill, to help your squad avoid the bullets without Moss or cover, but this is quite difficult. | Without Oatchi, [[pot|Pots]] or [[Dirt wall|Dirt Walls]] serve as cover.

Like in ''Pikmin 2'' dismissing a squad of pikmin and running around closer to the boss can distract it from the dismissed squad, but be careful not to dispand to close to the boss or collect dismissed pikmin as the Man-at-Legs can choose to fire Pikmin instead of the player if close enough.
