The Gildemander has 3 weak spots on its back which are the only spots that are capable of taking damage. On top of this they have the false gold nuggets protecting them that require picking off before attacking. With a mixed squad of Pikmin, it would be preferable to use [[Oatchi]]'s [[rush]] attack against this creature's back, since the trajectory of the attack allows Pikmin to latch onto the nuggets and weak spots. It would be preferable to upgrade Oatchi's rush to a level where it can stun to prevent the Gildemander from reacting to your attacks, this also helps chain with the Gildemander's stagger animation to immobilise it if your | The Gildemander has 3 weak spots on its back which are the only spots that are capable of taking damage.

It would be preferable to upgrade Oatchi's rush to a level where it can stun to prevent the Gildemander from reacting to your attacks, this also helps chain with the Gildemander's stagger animation to immobilise it if your Pikmin are fast enough to remove the nuggets. Alternatively, throwing Pikmin can be a more precise way of hitting nuggets and weak spots, in which case [[Purple Pikmin]] are the best candidates for throwing due to their high impact damage and ability to latch on. Care must be taken to manage your squad, if any Pikmin are attacking nuggets while the Gildemander retrieves them, those Pikmin will perish. Be sure to periodically whistle any straggling members of your squad before going in to attack again. Alternatively, you can destroy the dropped nuggets each time they fall to prevent them distracting any Pikmin. In terms of items, [[Mines]] prove especially useful for their ability to latch onto the Gildemander's back. | ||
A much quicker way of defeating the Gildemander is to use a somewhat large squad of [[Winged Pikmin]], more than 40 units being preferable. Before engaging the enemy, use an [[Ultra-Spicy Spray]] and circle towards its back while riding Oatchi, then rush the gildemander with all of your Winged Pikmin. Because Winged Pikmin have the ability to home in on and repeatedly attack both nuggets and weak spots, they will quickly take care of most of them within seconds.

Because Winged Pikmin have the ability to home in on and repeatedly attack both nuggets and weak spots, they will quickly take care of most of them within seconds. Winged Pikmin sometimes will not home in on the top weak spot in the middle of the Gildemander's back, in this case, whistle your squad and rush again towards this spot from the side of the beast. If all goes well, this should mean a swift end of the Gildemander fight. | ||
