If you have a viable amount of Yellow Pikmin, attack at will, but if not, bring twenty to thirty of some other types, preferably Red Pikmin, and wait until it has done eight stomps (two with each leg); it will lean down afterwards to rest. It will do this twice, so you should ignore it the first time, and then as soon as it begins to lean again, quickly throw Pikmin at its body. This will allow you to attack for a longer period of time. | If you have a viable amount of Yellow Pikmin, attack at will, but if not, bring twenty to thirty of some other types, preferably Red Pikmin, and wait until it has done eight stomps (two with each leg); it will lean down afterwards to rest.

Alternatively, a combination of Yellow and Red Pikmin can be used. The Yellow Pikmin, when thrown at the creature's head, will weigh it down and lower it, allowing the Red Pikmin to be used without having to wait for the Arachnorb to rest. | Alternatively, a combination of Yellow and Red Pikmin can be used.

This detailed approach is only possible in Pikmin, as Beady is not weighed down by Pikmin in Pikmin 2. | ||
The Beady Long Legs can also be harmed by Pikmin attacking its feet; this is far more challenging and time-consuming, however. In ''Pikmin 2'', only Purple Pikmin can damage the creature's feet with the stomp they cause, but in the Japanese [[Region|version]] of the game, any Pikmin type can also attack its feet with regular attacks. As such, an easy way to defeat the Beady Long Legs in the Japanese version of ''Pikmin 2'' is to place around 25 flowered [[Red Pikmin]] on the location where each foot is going to be, and when the creature lands from above, its health will be dropped so fast that it will not have time to stomp even once, ensuring a clean and quick victory.{{cite youtube|0f2tFBwZOfM|showing the Beady Long Legs in ''Pikmin 2'' being killed quickly by swarming its feet}} It may be difficult to determine exactly where the feet will end up at, though.
