In order to defeat this creature, it must be lead into a wall while it is rolling. Its rolling is more focused on the active [[leader]], not the [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]]. There is a slight chance that eggs will drop along with the boulders; these may contain [[Mitite]]s, [[spray]]s, or [[nectar]], and they will usually continue to drop every time the Segmented Crawbster crashes into the walls. After the boulders have fallen, the leader needs to be on either the left or right side of the creature and must [[throw]] his Pikmin onto its underside. After enough time has passed, it will get up and swing its bulking arm, which can't kill Pikmin, but does knock off their flowers. Once defeated, the Segmented Crawbster will groan and squeal as it is underbelly explodes violently, spewing goo particles all over the immediate vicinity, before dropping the [[Silencer]]. | In order to defeat this creature, it must be lead into a wall while it is rolling.

Care must be taken if one is to use them, as if they have lost their flowers due to the arm attack, they will surely be crushed by the roll. However, if few/no Purples are flowers, flower or budded Red Pikmin can do the job, as they have average speed and the second strongest power in the game. A group of 15-25 Red Pikmin is a good number to attack the Crawbster with. | ||

For a speedy completion, the player can dismiss 100 Pikmin near its backside right after it falls from the sky, and then get ready lure it into a wall, away from the Pikmin. Once it hits the wall, the Pikmin that were chasing after it should start attacking at a steady pace.{{cite youtube|FHStn4m-_QE|where the Segmented Crawbster is defeated in one cycle|m=15|s=04}} | |||
