In the [[Hole of Heroes]] as well as [[The Giant's Bath]], the arena for the fight is very big, and you can easily corner the Bloyster. Defeat the [[Armored Cannon Beetle Larva|Armored Cannon Beetle Larvae]] and [[Decorated Cannon Beetle|Decorated Cannon Beetles]] in the Hole of Heroes by having them shoot rocks at each other. The Ranging Bloyster cannot be harmed by the rocks. Then, have a captain lure the Bloyster to one of the corners of the room. The captain will be close enough to keep the Bloyster's attention, but the Bloyster cannot reach the captain, as its range does not reach the corners of the room. Have the other captain bring all the Pikmin to the other side, switching between the two captains while approaching to keep the Bloyster's attention on the one out of reach. When close enough, throw Pikmin onto its tail, while switching to keep it from attacking the group of Pikmin. If a spray or purples are used, the Bloyster can be defeated within less than a minute without casualties. | In the [[Hole of Heroes]] as well as [[The Giant's Bath]], the arena for the fight is very big, and you can easily corner the Bloyster.

A much more time-consuming method is to have a 100 strong army, confront the Ranging Bloyster, spray it, and then toss Pikmin onto its back. When it unfreezes, simply spray it again, and any Pikmin that were thrown off will leap back on it to continue the assault. Note that this can take multiple [[Ultra-Bitter Spray]]s and the Pikmin will likely revert back to leaf Pikmin when thrown off, but it is a far safer method. | A much more time-consuming method is to have a 100 strong army, confront the Ranging Bloyster, spray it, and then toss Pikmin onto its back.

A safe but slightly slow way is to use a single Purple Pikmin. Begin by making the Bloyster use its main attack. While it's busy doing so, go around it and throw the Purple Pikmin at its bulb. Slowly rotate alongside the Bloyster so that it does a full circle. When it reaches its initial position, make it attack again, and while it's doing so, go to its back, whistle the Pikmin, and re-throw it. Repeat this until the creature is dead. <ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dG_uDASydD8 YouTube video] showing a safe strategy against the Bloyster, requiring only one Purple Pikmin</ref> | A safe but slightly slow way is to use a single Purple Pikmin.
