| [[File:Waterwraith_-_Petrified.jpg|thumb|170px|The Waterwraith while sitting on petrified rollers.]]
| |
| While in the [[Piklopedia]], press the "Z" button immediately upon selecting the Waterwraith to petrify its roller. When the Waterwraith itself lands, it too will be encased in stone, but the roller will revert to its normal state before the creature itself. Petrify it again, and the Wraith is normal, but not the rollers; the Wraith will have problems lifting them. Its audio will get messed up, as it cries with each attempt to pick up the front roller. It is possible to do this in the main game (and Challenge Mode) as well, but the beast won't turn purple when Purple Pikmin are thrown at it. This is because it needs to lift its rollers first. Also, when the Waterwraith pulls up his stone rollers, petrify it.
| |
|
| |
| Then when it wears off, do it again. If your timing is correct you should only petrify it's rollers. The Waterwraith's arms will be stretched backwards grabbing the roller that is in mid air while it sits on the other roller facing the ground, trying to pull back the roller.
| |
|
| |
| It is possible to defeat the Waterwraith while petrified. First, it must be without its rollers, and the player must deplete its health as far as possible. Then, when frozen, if Purple Pikmin are thrown onto it, it should die in that state, shattering and leaving 6-7 pools of nectar and spray of any kind.
| |
|
| |
| Yet another glitch can be performed by knocking it off its rollers, and frantically switching characters, will cause the Waterwraith to appear to "ice skate" instead of sprinting.
| |
|
| |
| It is likely that if the Waterwraith's head comes into contact with the [[Research Pod]] after having lost its rollers, another glitch will occur. The outcome is a change in the way it moves: instead of walking, the creature glides along; and any Pikmin that touch it are thrown out of the way, though unharmed. The amount of health it had previously to the glitch occurring determines whether or not it can be damaged once in this state.
| |
|
| |
| Another glitch may occur when the Waterwraith attempts to turn around sharp corners. Instead of successfully completing a 360 degrees turn, it may get wedged in the middle of a tight space. This could either be helpful, allowing the player to avoid the Waterwraith, but this glitch could also block crucial pathways, such as a pathway to the next floor. Unfortunately, the only solution for this is to reset.
| |
|
| |
| Yet another glitch happens when the Waterwraith is hit with a Purple Pikmin while running. The Waterwraith may turn clear while in the crouching position it is normally purple in.
| |
|
| |
| Another possible glitch is known to happen in the [[Bully Den]]. The cause of this glitch is unknown, but the effects are strange. When both Waterwraith have had their rollers taken away, they will sometimes only frantically run away from Olimar, and will casually walk past [[Louie]] and even stop right in front of him, as if they don't even notice him. I guess they hate Louie. They can still be attacked, though.

The Waterwraith is a ??? found in Pikmin 2 found in all of the sublevels of the Submerged Castle and in Bully Den in the Challenge Mode. Its appearance is generally humanoid in shape, with the suggestion of a head, body, arms and legs, but without distinct characteristics, and with a watery, transparent body. The Ship notes that although it can be seen, its sensors detect nothing, leading to the conclusion that the Waterwraith's physical form is anchored in another dimension. It is one of the most dangerous enemies, as it can kill Pikmin by just rolling over them once. When encountered in the Submerged Castle, but not in the Bully Den, its music will play - music that is played only then. The following is a sample.
The Waterwraith's name is a combination of water, given its watery appearance, and wraith, which means ghost or phantom.
