If you bring 30 to 50 [[Red Pikmin]] with buds or flowers and throw quickly, the beast can be taken down on the first or second cycle. When it fires its rock, make sure you whistle your Pikmin quickly or they will be crushed. Also, Pikmin that miss the abdomen will attack the creature's armored legs. They will also be thrown out in front of the beast when it shakes off other Pikmin attacking its back. Whistle them back quickly as well. | If you bring 30 to 50 [[Red Pikmin]] with buds or flowers and throw quickly, the beast can be taken down on the first or second cycle.

Alternately, you may carry the [[Radiation Canopy]] without fighting the boss. Distract the beetle by making it shoot a rock at a wall, and while it's busy on its shooting animation, order some Pikmin to carry the object. You can now either continue distracting the enemy with [[Olimar]], or go away and leave the Pikmin to it. If you choose to leave, switch the [[camera]] to the top-down view and the closest zoom level. This will make the Armored Cannon Beetle go off-camera and not attack the Pikmin as a result.{{cite youtube|3JRSWLy4xrA|demonstrating how the Armored Cannon Beetle won't attack the Pikmin with the camera up-close|m=15|s=55}} | Alternately, you may carry the [[Radiation Canopy]] without fighting the boss.
