Since it can only be damaged by Purple Pikmin, the only way to combat it in the Submerged Castle is to survive until the final sublevel, where you can get Purple Pikmin through 2 [[Violet Candypop Bud]]s.

When a Purple Pikmin lands on or near the Waterwraith in a fashion that would stun any other beast, it turns a deep, dark shade of purple not dissimilar to that of the Pikmin that cause this state to come about. In this state, it is vulnerable to '''all''' Pikmin attacks. When the Wraith's [[health]] has been fully depleted, the rollers disappear and the Waterwraith will run aimlessly around the cave, and that is no longer a threat to your Pikmin. Attack with more [[Purple Pikmin]] and then you can easily attack it with other Pikmin. When defeated, it will vanish into nothing, and you will be troubled no more. It drops the [[Professional Noisemaker]], a useful addition to the [[Exploration Kit]] the first time you beat it in the [[Submerged Castle]].

The Waterwraith can be petrified, which is useful to stop it if it is coming towards you, but while in this state, it cannot be damaged with normal attacks – Pikmin that attack will just cause an effect similar to attacking a [[reinforced wall]] in other games. Purple Pikmin that land with a thud on the petrified creature have a different behavior, however. When the boss has its rollers, a thud can cause the [[HUD#Health wheel|health wheel]] to appear, if it hasn't already. In the state without rollers, these thuds will actually cause a small amount of damage, and make it possible to kill the creature when petrified.
