While in the [[Piklopedia]], press the "Z" button immediately upon selecting the Waterwraith to petrify its roller. When the Waterwraith itself lands, it too will be encased in stone, but the roller will revert to its normal state before the creature itself. Petrify it again, and the Wraith is normal, but not the rollers; the Wraith will have problems lifting them. Its audio will get messed up, as it cries with each attempt to pick up the front roller. It is possible to do this in the main game (and Challenge Mode) as well, but the beast won't turn purple when Purple Pikmin are thrown at it.

If your timing is correct you should only petrify its rollers. The Waterwraith's arms will be stretched backwards grabbing the roller that is in mid-air while it sits on the other roller facing the ground, trying to pull back the roller. | ||
It is possible to defeat the Waterwraith while petrified. First, it must be without its rollers, and the player must deplete its health as far as possible. Then, when frozen, if Purple Pikmin are thrown onto it, it should die in that state, shattering and leaving 6-7 pools of nectar and spray of any kind. | It is possible to defeat the Waterwraith while petrified.

It is likely that if the Waterwraith's head comes into contact with the [[Research Pod]] after having lost its rollers, another glitch will occur. The outcome is a change in the way it moves: instead of walking, the creature glides along; and any Pikmin that touch it are thrown out of the way, though unharmed. The amount of health it had previously to the glitch occurring determines whether or not it can be damaged once in this state. | It is likely that if the Waterwraith's head comes into contact with the [[Research Pod]] after having lost its rollers, another glitch will occur.

Another glitch may occur when the Waterwraith attempts to turn around sharp corners. Instead of successfully completing a 360 degrees turn, it may get wedged in the middle of a tight space. This could either be helpful, allowing the player to avoid the Waterwraith, but this glitch could also block crucial pathways, such as a pathway to the next floor. Unfortunately, the only solution for this is to reset. | Another glitch may occur when the Waterwraith attempts to turn around sharp corners.
