Libra: Difference between revisions

The '''Libra''' is one of the thirty [[S.S. Dolphin]] peices appearing in ''[[Pikmin (game)|Pikmin]]''. This item is located in [[The Forest Navel]]. This item is similar to the [[Sagittarius]] and is identical in appearance. It was given to [[Captain Olimar|Olimar]] by his [[Olimar's daughter|daughter]], and is named after the astrological sign. The Libra is just like the Sagittarius except it gave Olimar memories and thoughts about his daughter. The Libra, like its cousin, the Sagittarius, could be some kind of star chart or navigational device.

Getting it is very complicated, as all [[Red Pikmin|Red]], [[Blue Pikmin|Blue]], and [[Yellow Pikmin]] are needed to retrieve it. First travel to the large lake area, and go along a short pathway to the right. Go through a narrow strip of land occupied with [[Hazards#Fire|fire geysers]]. A [[bridge]] has to be built to reach the land, then throw fifteen yellows to retrieve it and at least five blues to open up a [[geyser]] for Olimar to reach the area where they can be thrown. Then switch Pikmin from yellow to red to carry it across the fire. It should be noted that Pikmin get deflowered when carrying the Libra off the ledge. This can be avoided by calling them before they fall or simply looking away by positioning the camera.

There is a rather notorious [[:Category:Glitches|glitch]] involving the Libra. The part may bounce and fall into the abyss when pulled from the ledge it is postioned on. The part may not reappear in any way on the file (though sometimes it will reappear in a random location). Should this happen to the player, he or she should reset the game immediately, as the game cannot be completed without this part although this can be fixed in the [[New Play Control!]] version.

 

*Like the [[Sagittarius]] the Libra is named after the [[Wikipedia:Libra constellation|constellation of the same name]].
