It should be noted that dealing a significant enough amount of damage, but only immediately after exposing the weak point, the "second phase" increased-force suction will be cut short. | It should be noted that dealing a significant enough amount of damage, but only immediately after exposing the weak point, the "second phase" increased-force suction will be cut short. | ||
Although it may not look like it, its suction attack actually counts as eating. This can be abused with the use of [[Pikpik carrot|Pikpik Carrots]] thrown right in front of its mouth while it charges. The stun provided allows the boss's "phases" created from shaking off Pikmin to be skipped. Since the boss cannot be frozen, this is the cheapest way to induce this kind of stun. Of course, high damaging Pikmin types like [[Red Pikmin]], [[Purple Pikmin]] or [[Rock Pikmin]] are reccomended to beat this boss faster, or the player can opt to use Ultra-Spicy Spray. | |||
In its encounter in Cavern for a King, the player can choose to bring some Glow Seeds with them since [[Glow Pikmin]] will be immune to possibly being [[pit|pushed off of the platform]]. Winged Pikmin can prevent themselves from falling into the Abyss too using their flight, but this is not always reliable. Coincidentally, these types also float over the sticky mold present in the Beetle's arena. | |||
