Segmented Crawbster

The Segmented Crawbster is a boss on Pikmin 2. It is the boss of the Cavern of Chaos's final sublevel (10), which is located in the Wistful Wild. This crab-like creature has one large arm, and an exceedingly smaller left arm. It also has a rather thick shell protecting it. This creature rolls up to attack other things, it may crash into a wall and the friction causing boulders to fall. It will then struggle to get back up in an upright position, exposing its tender body parts while doing so. It will then get back up and swing its large arm around back and forth 2 or so times and continue its assault pattern.

In order to defeat this menacing creature, you must take your Pikmin and avoid its rolling and lead it into a wall. Its rolling is more focused on the active pilot, not your Pikmin, keep that in mind if you hide near the pod. When it crashes, the boulders land near the active pilot as well. It would be unwise to be near the pod because then you would be in a boxed in area with a slim chance of avoid boulders. If you have Purple Pikmin on the main field, an egg will drop as well, it may contain Mitites, sprays, or nectar, and it will continue to happen every time the Segmented Crawbster crashes into the walls. After the boulders fall, you need to get on a specific side of it and throw Pikmin. It will then get up and swing its bulking arm and may deflower your Pikmin.

• The best way to defeat it is using ultra-spicy spray and avoiding it since your 'mins are now very fast to avoid the rolling. Then you simply attack the body parts and repeat. Try to do this in 2 assaults, because the spray effect lasts about that long.

• Another way, but spray consuming, is to use spicy spray on all of your Pikmin and then petrify the crab. Your Pikmin will then attack and leave about half the creatures health left. Petrify it again and repeat and it should crumble into nectar. This is the safest way to win.
