To defeat this enemy, throw (preferably [[Purple Pikmin|Purple]]) [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] onto its face and call them back before it throws them off. After shaking Pikmin off, the boss rolls from side to side across the chamber in an attempt to crush its aggressors, smashing into walls, and making rocks fall from the ceiling in most encounters in the game. Although risky, the Bulblax can be [[Ultra-bitter spray|petrified]] if the spray is released on the middle of its elongated torso. | |||
The Empress Bulblax is one of the few bosses that can vary depending on where you encounter it: for the Hole of Beasts fight, it is easier to throw the Pikmin on the Empress Bulblax's side to the left and retreat to the alcove in the wall between attacks. Here, it is also effective to swarm the body from the left at the start of the battle, before the boss awakes. Doing this will deal heavy damage if many Pikmin manage to latch onto the Empress. This will not be as effective in the later two battles, as the Pikmin have less time to attack the enemy before she shakes the Pikmin off. Later dungeons have the Empress continuously giving birth to [[Bulborb Larva]]e, which pose an extra threat to your Pikmin, but are helpless against their own mother's wild rolling, an alternative strategy in the Frontier Cavern is to lure the larvae where the [[Research Pod]] is, and using the other captain, continuously crawling into the ledge facing the [[geyser]]. Using this strategy, eventually, memory restrictions will prevent the Empress from birthing any more larvae, resulting in a fight that is about as easy in the Hole of Beasts. | The Empress Bulblax is one of the few bosses that can vary depending on where you encounter it: for the Hole of Beasts fight, it is easier to throw the Pikmin on the Empress Bulblax's side to the left and retreat to the alcove in the wall between attacks.
