This boss has a rather complex way to defeating it. It has four weapons which double as treasures after it's defeated; the [[Flare Cannon]], [[Shock Therapist]], [[Monster Pump]] and [[Comedy Bomb]], representing the game's four elemental [[Hazards|hazards]]. It will stomp around and act like the various [[Arachnorb]] family members in their manner of stomping, except that it doesn't [[Crushing|crush]] Pikmin because it has no large "feet". After it bobs its head down, it will grab two weapons, but only use one. The color it glows and which arm it raises will indicate the weapon it will use, however. The main point is to attack the weapons. If a weapon gets damaged, it will start smoking and will behave differently when used. The weapon will break off when it receives enough damage. Each weapon has 6,000 [[HP]], and there are four weapons, so the total amount of HP for all the weapons is 24,000 HP. Despite the fact that the [[leader]]s should be immune to all hazards by the time the boss is fought, the weapons can still stun them, but do not hurt them.

===Quick-kill strategy===
===Quick-kill strategy===
This strategy is only semi-consistent, but is easily the quickest way to kill The Titan Dweevil if the player skilled enough. Though it is possible without, only Yellow Pikmin should be brought into the fight due to their resistance to electricity, and as soon as the Titan Dweevil starts emerging the player should throw all of their Yellow Pikmin onto the Shock Therapist. The goal is to get it to its "third phase" where its electric orbs bounce without breaking the it off of the Dweevil's body.

The Titan Dweevil prioritises using weapons with less health than the other ones it carries, meaning that it will most likely use the attack which the player's Pikmin are immune to and has the hardest time trapping the active leader in an in-actionable state. Due to how easy the Shock Therapist's attacks are avoided, the player's Yellow Pikmin can easily be thrown onto the other weapons, quickly depleting their health especially with ultra-spicy sprays, quickly leaving the Titan Dweevil defenseless.

A small thing is that Pikmin latched onto any of the Titan Dweevil's weapons will be completely safe from harm until whistled or shaken off, allowing the fight to go a bit faster if the player is getting particularly bad luck.
