===Captains===
===Captains===
Firstly, take one of the captains near the Empress bulblax's rear end, try to get it as close as you can, so the larvae will try to go through the rock, if it overflows with larvae though, you'll have to kill them. Take the second captain and gather all your purple pikmin, and go where the boss is, move the first captain near the second and throw as many pikmin on the boss's head, calling them back when she's about to shake them off. The bulborb larvae will come over to your first captain, and if you throw the pikmin on her head when the Empress bulblax's larvae comes, she will squish them.

A single punch from a Captain is sufficient to kill a Bulborb Larva. Caution is advised, though, as they may still sneak in a bite as they are dying. The [[Rocket Fist]], found in the same cave as the first encounter with the larva, can be used to kill many larva at once due to its range increase on the third strike.
