Red Pikmin should be used to defeat Titan Blowhogs due to their resistance to fire, but other Pikmin can be used if care is used and you're quick to whistle any burning Pikmin. To avoid Pikmin falling to their deaths, try to steer the Blowhog to look towards the platforms the cave is made of, this will reduce the chances of Pikmin being thrown off the map. The best way to attack the Titan Blowhog is constantly throw Pikmin at its body until it throws them forward. Whistle all your Pikmin and repeat until the Blowhog is defeated. Due to the fire, acquiring the [[Scorch Guard]], for both the player and [[Oatchi]], from [[Russ]] will help greatly as both your character and Oatchi will be resistant to fire.
====Pikmin====
Red Pikmin are the most obvious choice to fight a Titan Blowhog, due to their immunity to fire and higher attack power. In an emergency, other types can be used, so long as you are quick on the whistle to save any that are ignited. Small squads of Ice Pikmin should be avoided, as, apart from their lower attack power, they will quickly burn to death if ignited. However, significantly larger squads can potentially freeze it, allowing for one to deal a lot of damage as it is frozen. Titan Blowhogs are sometimes fought in areas where they can potentially buck Pikmin off the map and into the void: To avoid Pikmin falling to their deaths, try to steer the Blowhog to look towards the platforms the cave is made of, and be prepared to disengage should the Blowhog start turning towards the void.
 
Otherwise, Titan Blowhogs are fought very similarly to all other Blowhogs: Throw Pikmin onto its body (or [[Rush]] into it while riding [[Oatchi]]), then whistle them off before it can buck them, repeating the process until the Blowhog dies.
 
A much faster, if riskier, way to kill it is to throw [[Purple Pikmin]] onto it; their extreme stomping power should kill it within a few cycles.
 
====Leaders====
[[Punch]]ing a Titan Blowhog to death is ill-advised; while their attacks are not particularly hard to avoid, their high amount of health means that it will take quite a while. Instead, have Oatchi do it, as he can easily take it out on his own, provided he has been upgraded with his [[Scorch Guard]]. The only damage he risks taking is from the Blowhog attempting to buck him away.
