Submerged Castle: Difference between revisions

First, take note that you need Purple Pikmin to harm it. The Purple Pikmin will stun the Waterwraith and make it solid and purple. Also, it is recommended that you change the [[Bulbmin]] into Purple Pikmin, because Bulbmin cannot go overground. Anyhow, this boss will start out by falling and lifting its front steamroller. Get to the side of it as it lifts it and once it drops it, throw a purple at it - it will turn solid and purple. When it's purple you can damage it; if it doesn't become purple then call your Pikmin back and wait for your chance to throw more purples at it. Throw Pikmin rapidly at its purple body when he is solidified. Soon, it will roar a few times and turn clear again, sending your Pikmin flying. If this happens and Pikmin don't hit again fast enough, then it will roar again, so gather your Pikmin as it smashes its rocks and starts to roll around.

Be sure not to get squished with the rock rollers, or those rocks could flatten your Pikmin. After repeating several times until its health circle falls to zero, you will see the rock steamrollers shatter. Now, it runs away from you. Chase it until it bends down and starts panting. There is no way you can get hurt by it, so don't hold back - unleash all your Pikmin on it. It will shake a lot still, but continue to hurt it. This is the only boss that a captain can damage. If you wait too long again, it will start running some more. When it runs out of health the following will occur: First, it looks like it was shot, for it tilts its body and bubbles start popping out. After it does that, it will shatter into many bubbles, being fully vaporized.

Once defeated, the Waterwraith will drop the head of a [[Wikipedia:megaphone|megaphone]] ([[Professional Noisemaker]], 15 Weight, 100 Pokos, part of the [[Exploration Kit]]). This gives you a device called the [[Pluckaphone]], which allows you to pluck Pikmin sprouts from the ground just by whistling at them.
