Beady Long Legs: Difference between revisions

===Pikmin 1===

<span style="font-size:13px;">In the first Pikmin game, the best way of going about beating the Beady Long Legs is to bring about 20 </span>[[Yellow Pikmin]]<span style="font-size:13px;">. Small armies of Pikmin work best, as the Beady Long Legs is less likely to stomp on a smaller group. Also remember to bring a minimum of 20 </span>[[Red Pikmin]]<span style="font-size:13px;"> in order to carry the </span>[[Guard Satellite]]<span style="font-size:13px;"> through the </span>[[Hazards#Fire|fire geysers]]<span style="font-size:13px;">. Dismiss these Red Pikmin outside the arena, and take your Yellow Pikmin inside. Be cautious when stepping into the arena, as the Beady Long Legs may fall onto you or your Pikmin. Once the Beady Long Legs appears, simply stay under its spherical abdomen, and continuously throw your Yellow Pikmin onto it. The more Pikmin attached to its abdomen makes it weigh down, making it easier to throw other types of Pikmin onto its body. Eventually it will start shaking some of your Pikmin off. When it shakes Pikmin to the ground, make sure to call them and throw them back on to the attacking point. In time, it will finally die and drop the Guard Satellite, which you can use Red Pikmin to carry back to your </span>[[S.S. Dolphin]]<span style="font-size:13px;">.</span>

===Pikmin 2===

The strategy for beating the Beady Long Legs remains the same in most aspects. However, the Beady Long Legs is a lot slower than its Pikmin 1 variation. It also doesn't weigh down with more Pikmin, and always shakes off all Pikmin when it shakes as opposed to only some. A squadron of 20 Yellow Pikmin is preferable, but in the [[Hole of Heroes]], there's a level where you have to use [[Blue Pikmin]] due to the wet environment. In this case you must wait for the Beady Long Legs to lean downwards after it is done with a walk cycle. When it leans downward, it can be reached by Pikmin other than Yellow Pikmin. But if he is on land you can still use your yellows as long as he is in a safe place. In the [http://pikmin.wikia.com/wiki/Citadel_of_Spiders Citadel of Spiders] can you also throw purples on his feet. It does a good deal of damage, but it is risky as they can be squashed; so the best time to do this is when he is roaring. This works also on the [[Raging Long Legs]] but is riskier because his feet are harder to avoid. It is also not worth it because it only does a little bit of damage.
