The Startle Spore can be hard to spot, especially when the player does not know about it or it is effectively camouflaged in [[Primordial Thicket]]. It is best to watch for the unusual, spherical bulges underneath the cap of the mushroom. These are its eyes, which it usually keeps shut to prevent this from being obvious. They also appear in the middle of a path instead of to the sides like [[Mushroom|red mushrooms]] typically do. | |||
The player can use the same strategy as the [[Creeping Chrysanthemum]], being weary of the pools of [[Poison]] it spews by attacking the beast from behind. The poison pools last longer and reach father than they might first appear, and can make fighting the creature a nuisance. The player can use [[White Pikmin]] to make fighting this creature a little easier, but their low damage and the Startle Spore's immunity to being poisoned combined with a large health pool can make this strategy not extremely effective (Especially if the player only has a small number of White Pikmin, which is likely). If the player plans on relying on White Pikmin, [[Ultra-spicy spray]] is reccomended. | |||
Instead, the player can opt to use a small number (Around 30 or so) of high-damaging Pikmin such as [[Rock Pikmin]] or [[Purple Pikmin]]. Bait out the enemy from hiding by throwing and whistling back a single pikmin, then reach around to the back (It should be noted the creature will turn to have its sights on the bait pikmin, so you can use this to your advantage). When you reach the back, simply throw Purple Pikmin continuiously or repeatedly charge and call back your Rock Pikmin, this should defeat the beast quite quickly and safely. Using Oatchi's [[Rush]] with a large squad here is also a good option (And one of your only options, if fought in the [[Engulfed Castle]]), but be mindful of your squad's damage output and make sure Oatchi has his [[Sniff Saver]] equipped. | |||
If the player is struggling with this enemy, a single [[Bomb rock|Bomb Rock]] is enough to take it out, even if it hasnt been consumed. | |||
