In the final cave of the game, [[Cavern for a King]], an Empress Bulblax is encountered on one of the deeper floors, and is fought in a square arena exactly as large as the Bulblax, necessitating the constant use of [[Geyser]]s to dodge her attacks, as well as having to contend with falling [[Rock]]s and [[Bulborb Larva]]e. This is the trickiest and toughest fight against her in the entire franchise if played as expected, particularly since it is unlikely that the player will have access to Rock Pikmin during the encounter. It should be noted that there is an exit located at the rear-end of the arena, which can allow for an easy escape without having to deal with the typically tricky geyser timing. The player can attack her from the rear with a rush while mounted on [[Oatchi]], recall their Pikmin before she rolls, and simply exit the arena. This can take some time, but is considerably more reliable than other strategies. | In the final cave of the game, [[Cavern for a King]], an Empress Bulblax is encountered on one of the deeper floors, and is fought in a square arena exactly as large as the Bulblax, necessitating the constant use of [[Geyser]]s to dodge her attacks, as well as having to contend with falling [[Rock]]s and [[Bulborb Larva]]e.
