'''''Warning: it is advised that this strategy is only attempted by experienced players.''''' | |||
A much quicker way to defeat the Phosbats involves using both captains and distracting the boss while the Pikmin work. | |||
First, have the Pikmin destroy a few Phosbat Pods do get them nectar. Then, go to the right of the cave enterance and there will be a pile of sticks that lead up to a fragment pile. Instruct all of your Pikmin to climb the stick and construct the bridge while the captains distract the Phosbat. Once the Pikmin have brought all of their bridge shards to the bridge, it should be long enough for the captains to throw eachother across. Simply throw one of the captains across and then throw '''20''' Yellow Pikmin up to them, and then have them use the Yellows to activate the car battery. This will instantly commence the second phase of the battle. | |||
Once the Phosbat falls to the ground, swarm it with all of your Pikmin, and then quickly call them back before it gets up. Once it begins to fly away, stay ahead of it and throw a few Yellows at it while running in the same direction that it is flying. This will make the boss stop to shake them off and change directon. During this short period of time, quickly throw all of your Yellows at it to weigh it down, causing it to fall into the ground and struggle to get back up, which opens it up to further attack. Using this strategy, the boss can be defeated in under '''2''' minutes. | |||
After its death, the player unlocks [[Charlie]] as a playable character and is also rewarded with the [[Heroine's Tear]]. | After its death, the player unlocks [[Charlie]] as a playable character and is also rewarded with the [[Heroine's Tear]]. | ||
