Revision as of 21:11, July 19, 2013

Beady Long Legs is an enemy in the Pikmin games. The only attack it has is stomping around, which it does more quickly when damaged, and its multiple feet crush any Pikmin they land on. When defeated, it crumbles into dust that disintegrates after its belongings drop from its orbicular torso. The creature is in both the main game and Challenge Mode of both games in the series.

In Pikmin 2, the Beady Long Legs has a more brownish tone to its body, while in the first one it is just yellow. It also has slightly different shaped feet. Appearances in the second game are more common, and have much less health, slower movements, and different cries. It first appears as a boss in Pikmin, where it is found in The Forest Navel, protecting the Guard Satellite ship part, and again in The Final Trial in Challenge Mode. In Pikmin 2, one appears on sublevel 5 of the Citadel of Spiders, where it drops a key which unlocks Challenge Mode, one on sublevel 14 of the Hole of Heroes, one in the Twilight Garden in Challenge Mode, and one that can be found in front of the landing site in the Perplexing Pool after day 30. Killing it here yields 20 small "1" pellets.

Notes

Olimar's voyage log

“This creature is so large, it would tower over the Dolphin. All the Pikmin can do is cling to its feet and try to slow it down. Its large round torso is its sole weak point - since Yellow Pikmin fly highest, they should be most effective against it.”

Reel notes

“Waxy secretions form this creature's distinctive armored shell.”

Olimar's notes

“Although this creature is commonly associated with spiders, it is actually the result of a separate evolutionary line of insectoid creatures. Since the spherical body section supported by the creature's legs carries most of its internal organs, there appear to be no other features that would correspond to a head or abdomen.”

Louie's notes

“Poisonous. Consumption results in prolonged writhing and uncontrollable mirth.”

How to kill

Pikmin

The player should have no more than 30 Pikmin (Yellows work best, as they are thrown higher), as a larger group can be hard to control and may cause a few deaths. When it has done 8 stomps (two with each leg), it will lean down. 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. When it shivers, it is about to shake Pikmin off. Call the Pikmin quickly, or else they might fall off for a few seconds and lose their bud or flower status.

The Beady Long Legs can also be harmed by Pikmin attacking its feet; this is far more challenging and time-consuming, though in Pikmin 2 it can be made easier by using Purple Pikmin.

Captains

Even when petrified, its body is suspended too high for captains to reach.

Glitch

In Pikmin, there is a rare and dangerous glitch that causes Beady Long Legs to leave its arena. This glitch is most likely to happen when you leave the arena without killing it. Pikmin and/or Olimar have to be left at the gate to the small arena. The creature will then try to attack these, possibly leaving the arena. Once outside of the barriers, it will continue to pursue you. If you now run to the island where the Libra is, the enemy may fall into the abyss below, causing the game to crash (the game will also crash if you do not kill it after it leaves the arena after a certain amount of time).

If one wishes to attempt this glitch, the best place to do it without receiving any consequences is The Final Trial in challenge mode. Go to the arena in the back of the level and try this glitch on the Beady Long Legs in the arena.

In Pikmin 2, this is fixed. An enemy that has fallen into the abyss dies, and anything it might have been holding reappears above the ground near the place it fell.

The prototype Beady Long Legs.

The Beady Long Legs is shown during the last few seconds of a pre-release trailer of Pikmin. Here, the creature appears to be taller and have a reddish tint to its skin, as well as being in an outside area similar to the Forest of Hope.
When at low health, the Beady Long Legs will acquire a reddish tint and start smoking at the joints in Pikmin. In Pikmin 2, the creature's body will start to flake away at low health.
In the Citadel of Spiders cave in Pikmin 2, a shadow of a spider web is displayed on the arena floor. This also applies to one of its appearances in Challenge Mode in Pikmin 2 and to the arena of the Raging Long Legs in the the Hole of Heroes.
It is unknown how Louie knows how to cook it, because in his only appearance so far, Pikmin 2, the Beady Long Legs falls apart very shortly after defeat.

The only way it can harm [[Pikmin]] is by stomping around, which it does more quickly when damaged and its multiple feet crush any Pikmin they land on. To defeat it, one must throw Pikmin at its orb-like torso. [[Yellow Pikmin]] are recommended for this because its body is inconveniently high. Swarming the feet will slow down the movement of the foot but is highly dangerous because the Pikmin may be crushed. When defeated, it crumbles into dust that disintegrates after its belongings explode from its torso. The creature is in both the main game and [[Challenge Mode]] of both games in the series. In the ''[[Pikmin (game)|first Pikmin game]]'' it stomps faster than in ''[[Pikmin 2]]'', and its feet stick into the ground. In ''Pikmin 2'', it's slower and its feet don't stick into the ground.
-In ''[[Pikmin 2]]'', the Beady Long Legs has a more brownish tone to its body, while in the first one it is just yellow. Appearances in the second game are more common, and have much less health, slower movements and different cries. It first appears as a miniboss in ''[[Pikmin (game)|Pikmin]]'', where it is found in [[The Forest Navel]], protecting the [[Guard Satellite]] [[:category:ship parts|ship part]], and again in [[The Final Trial]] in [[Challenge Mode (Pikmin 1)|Challenge Mode]]. In ''Pikmin 2'', one appears on the fifth [[sublevel]] of the [[Citadel of Spiders]], where it drops a [[The Key|key]] that unlocks [[Challenge Mode (Pikmin 2)|Challenge Mode]], one on the fourteenth sublevel of the [[Hole of Heroes]], one in the [[Twilight Garden]] in Challenge Mode, and one that can be found every palindrome day in front of the landing site in the [[Perplexing Pool]] after day 30. However, Beady Long Legs seems to be "found" every 3 days, but also have been found on Palindrome days, so this may be at a total random. If you walk on a small, white circle on the ground, it will fall out of the sky. Also, on the same day, [[Dwarf Bulbear|dwarf bulbears]] and a [[bulbear]] come to the same area, so take care of the beady long legs quickly. Killing it here yields twenty small "1" [[pellet]]s.

-<span style="font-size:13px;">In the first Pikmin game, the best way of going about beating the Beady Long Legs is to bring about 20 </span>[[Yellow Pikmin]]<span style="font-size:13px;">. Small armies of Pikmin work best, as the Beady Long Legs is less likely to stomp on a smaller group. Also remember to bring a minimum of 20 </span>[[Red Pikmin]]<span style="font-size:13px;"> in order to carry the </span>[[Guard Satellite]]<span style="font-size:13px;"> through the </span>[[Hazards#Fire|fire geysers]]<span style="font-size:13px;">. Dismiss these Red Pikmin outside the arena, and take your Yellow Pikmin inside. Be cautious when stepping into the arena, as the Beady Long Legs may fall onto you or your Pikmin. Once the Beady Long Legs appears, simply stay under its spherical abdomen, and continuously throw your Yellow Pikmin onto it. The more Pikmin attached to its abdomen makes it weigh down, making it easier to throw other types of Pikmin onto its body. Eventually it will start shaking some of your Pikmin off. When it shakes Pikmin to the ground, make sure to call them and throw them back on to the attacking point. In time, it will finally die and drop the Guard Satellite, which you can use Red Pikmin to carry back to your </span>[[S.S. Dolphin]]<span style="font-size:13px;">.</span>
-===Pikmin 2===
+=== Captains ===
-The strategy for beating the Beady Long Legs remains the same in most aspects. However, the Beady Long Legs is a lot slower than its Pikmin 1 variation. It also doesn't weigh down with more Pikmin, and always shakes off all Pikmin when it shakes as opposed to only some. A squadron of 20 Yellow Pikmin is preferable, but in the [[Hole of Heroes]], there's a level where you have to use [[Blue Pikmin]] due to the wet environment. In this case you must wait for the Beady Long Legs to lean downwards after it is done with a walk cycle. When it leans downward, it can be reached by Pikmin other than Yellow Pikmin. But if he is on land you can still use your yellows as long as he is in a safe place. In the [http://pikmin.wikia.com/wiki/Citadel_of_Spiders Citadel of Spiders] can you also throw purples on his feet. It does a good deal of damage, but it is risky as they can be squashed; so the best time to do this is when he is roaring. This works also on the [[Raging Long Legs]] but is riskier because his feet are harder to avoid. It is also not worth it because it only does a little bit of damage.
+Even when [[Ultra-bitter spray|petrified]], its body is suspended too high for captains to reach.
