The Sandbelching Meerslug is most vulnerable when it exposes itself. When it rises up to shoot boulders, the player should charge all their Pikmin at the Meerslug. Doing so will cause it to pop out of the sand, allowing the player's Pikmin to attack it. If it creates a sinkhole, the leaders and the Pikmin should retreat, or risk being sucked in by the Meerslug. A riskier strategy is to charge all of the player's Pikmin at it while it's at the bottom of the sinkhole; if done correctly, the Meerslug will be forced out with no casualties.

Alternatively, bomb-rocks can be thrown into its mouth while in a sinkhole to deal a large amount of damage; however, the rarity of Bomb-rocks in the area means this may take several days. | ||
Once the Meerslug is below 50% [[Health]], it will sometimes circle around the arena; when it does so, it will create a massive sinkhole. When it's spiraling, the player should use the described strategies above. At this point, it is also capable of creating sinkholes with sharp drops, making it impossible to get out of if caught. The Sandbelching Meerslug also shoots boulders much faster; the [[Dodge Whistle]] can be useful for evading the boulders. Continue to attack the Meerslug in this way, and it will die. Upon death, it releases the [[Folded Data Glutton]], which unlocks the [[Twilight River]], and it releases the [[Crimson Banquet]], a watermelon, which gives the Koppaites 3 days' worth of juice. | Once the Meerslug is below 50% [[Health]], it will sometimes circle around the arena; when it does so, it will create a massive sinkhole.
