(I don't think it's very useful to document a Rock Pikmin only strategy because of the context in which this cave is done.) |

The strategy for the Empress Bulblax are largely the same in ''Pikmin 4'', but it should be noted that [[Rock Pikmin]] are near-flawlessly effective against the beast, as they are immune to crushing and cannot latch onto the boss, which makes it impossible for the Empress Bulblax to throw them off. They are also, however, only actually recommended by the game for the earliest encounter with it. | The strategy for the Empress Bulblax are largely the same in ''Pikmin 4'', but it should be noted that [[Rock Pikmin]] are near-flawlessly effective against the beast, as they are immune to crushing and cannot latch onto the boss, which makes it impossible for the Empress Bulblax to throw them off.

In the final cave of the game, [[Cavern for a King]], an Empress Bulblax is encountered on one of the deeper floors, and is fought in a square arena exactly as large as the Bulblax, necessitating the constant use of [[geyser]]s to dodge its attacks, as well as having to contend with falling [[boulder]]s and [[Bulborb Larva]]e. This is the trickiest and toughest fight against it in the entire franchise if played as expected, particularly since it is unlikely that the player will have access to Rock Pikmin during the encounter. It should be noted that there is an exit located at the rear-end of the arena, which can allow for an easy escape without having to deal with the typically tricky geyser timing. The player can attack it from the rear with a rush while mounted on [[Oatchi]], recall their Pikmin before it rolls, and simply exit the arena. This can take some time, but is considerably more reliable than other strategies. | In the final cave of the game, [[Cavern for a King]], an Empress Bulblax is encountered on one of the deeper floors, and is fought in a square arena exactly as large as the Bulblax, necessitating the constant use of [[geyser]]s to dodge its attacks, as well as having to contend with falling [[boulder]]s and [[Bulborb Larva]]e.
