Beady Long Legs: Difference between revisions
Merged. I cleaned up the strategy and it ended up different from both, and left behind the music (we'll discuss a consistent style for music in articles later; and we still need to discuss how legal this is).

The '''Beady Long Legs''' is an enemy in the [[Pikmin series|''Pikmin'' games]]. The only attack it has is stomping around | {{todo|The Pikmin Wiki page claims this enemy appears on palindrome days in ''Pikmin 2''. Confirm.}} | ||
The '''Beady Long Legs''' ({{j|ダマグモ|Dama Gumo|Ball Spider}}) is an enemy in the first two [[Pikmin series|''Pikmin'' games]]. The only attack it has is stomping around – which it does more quickly when damaged – and its multiple feet crush any [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] they land on. Its weak spot is its orbicular torso; given its height, [[Yellow Pikmin]] are normally needed. When defeated, it crumbles into dust that disintegrates after its belongings drop from its orbicular torso. The creature is in both the main game and [[Challenge Mode]] of both games in the series. | |||
In ''[[Pikmin 2]]'', the Beady Long Legs has a more brownish tone to its body, while in the first one it is just yellow. It also has slightly different shaped feet. Appearances in the second game are more common, and have much less [[health]], slower movements, different cries, and their feet don't stick on the ground. When at low health, the Beady Long Legs will acquire a reddish tint and start smoking at the joints in ''Pikmin''. In ''Pikmin 2'', the creature's body will start to flake away at low health. | |||
It first appears as a boss in [[Pikmin (game)|''Pikmin'']], where it is found in [[The Forest Navel]], protecting the [[Guard Satellite]], and again in [[The Final Trial]] in [[Challenge Mode (Pikmin)|Challenge Mode]]. In ''Pikmin 2'', one appears on [[sublevel]] 5 of the [[Citadel of Spiders]], where it drops a [[The Key|key]] which unlocks [[Challenge Mode (Pikmin 2)|Challenge Mode]], one on sublevel 14 of the [[Hole of Heroes]], one in the [[Twilight Garden]] in Challenge Mode, and one that can be found in front of the landing site in the [[Perplexing Pool]] after day 30. Killing it here yields 20 small 1-[[pellet]]s. | |||
The Beady Long Legs does not appear in ''[[Pikmin 3]]'', but there are two new Arachnorb bosses similar to it, the [[Shaggy Long Legs]] and [[Baldy Long Legs]]. | The Beady Long Legs does not appear in ''[[Pikmin 3]]'', but there are two new Arachnorb bosses similar to it, the [[Shaggy Long Legs]] and [[Baldy Long Legs]]. | ||

You should have no more than 30 Pikmin, as a large group can be hard to control and may cause a few deaths. Aim at its core and launch your Pikmin freely, being careful to neither miss nor let the grounded Pikmin get stomped on. [[Group move|Group moving]] will prove helpful here. When it shivers, it is about to shake Pikmin off. Call the Pikmin quickly, or else they might fall off for a few seconds and lose their bud or flower status. In ''Pikmin 2'', all Pikmin will be shaken off, but in ''Pikmin'', a few may still remain latched. | |||
If you have a viable amount of Yellow Pikmin, attack at will, but if not, bring twenty to thirty of some other types, preferably Red Pikmin, and wait until it has done eight stomps (two with each leg); it will lean down afterwards to rest. It will do this twice, so you should ignore it the first time, and then as soon as it begins to lean again, quickly throw Pikmin at its body. This will allow you to attack for a longer period of time. | |||
The Beady Long Legs can also be harmed by Pikmin attacking its feet; this is far more challenging and time-consuming, however. In ''Pikmin 2'', only Purple Pikmin can damage the creature's feet with the stomp they cause, but in the Japanese [[ | The Beady Long Legs can also be harmed by Pikmin attacking its feet; this is far more challenging and time-consuming, however. In ''Pikmin 2'', only Purple Pikmin can damage the creature's feet with the stomp they cause, but in the Japanese [[Region|version]] of the game, any Pikmin type can also attack its feet with regular attacks. As such, an easy way to defeat the Beady Long Legs in the Japanese version of ''Pikmin 2'' is to place around 25 flowered [[Red Pikmin]] on the location where each foot is going to be, and when the creature lands from above, its health will be dropped so fast that it will not have time to stomp even once, ensuring a clean and quick victory <ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0f2tFBwZOfM YouTube video] showing the Beady Long Legs in ''Pikmin 2'' being killed quickly by swarming its feet</ref>. It may be difficult to determine exactly where the feet end up at, though. | ||
In ''[[Pikmin (game)|Pikmin]]'', it is recommended to bring twenty [[Red Pikmin]] to the entrance of the arena, so they may bring the Guard Satellite through the fire [[geyser]]s. | |||
