Titan Dweevil: Difference between revisions
→Strategy: fixed...something, added details on when it attacks, moved a yellows only strat mention to the yellows only strat sections.
(→Strategy: I will add which weapons need yellows to hit during the ST and MP attacks eventually, otherwise this is mostly a cleanup edit.) |

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, stopping to rest after two or three stomp cycles(likewise, it will only react to attacks after finishing an in progress stomp cycle), except that it doesn't [[Crushing|crush]] Pikmin because it has no large "feet". However, swarming the feet will cause Pikmin to go idle, which is extremely dangerous if the Titan is attacking. When running away, swarm around the legs. 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. The Dweevil is a reactionary attacker, and will mostly only attack if being attacked itself. When attacked, it will finish the current action (be it a stomp cycle, kneeling, or using a weapon) and then prepare its weapon. If a weapon is knocked off while in use, the Titan will immediately attack with another weapon. | ||
If the Titan Dweevil is sprayed with an [[ultra-bitter spray]] when it's using a weapon, the weapon will keep firing while the Dweevil is frozen. This increases the length of time the weapon's effect lasts, and the boss is much harder to damage while encased in stone, so petrifying it is not recommended until the very end, in an attempt to obtain multiple [[spray]]s. | If the Titan Dweevil is sprayed with an [[ultra-bitter spray]] when it's using a weapon, the weapon will keep firing while the Dweevil is frozen.

The Monster Pump should be destroyed first. When it is used, the Pikmin should be huddled close together and continually whistled at. Attacking the Shock Therapist to the degree that it smokes but does not fall off ensures that the enemy will use the harmless electric attacks more often, then attacking the Monster Pump. Once the Pump has fallen off, the Flare Cannon should be attacked, then the Comedy Bomb. | The Monster Pump should be destroyed first.

Do not underestimate the power of the [[ultra-spicy spray]] when attacking. Since it's likely that the player will only have about 20-25 Yellow Pikmin, spraying them before launching an attack increases the chance to break off the weapon. The player can gather lots of ultra-spicy spray berries in the [[Awakening Wood]]. | |||
Keeping the inactive leader separated from the active one makes it possible to resort to the former in case the active leader is knocked down. However, although directly under the Dweevil is the most handy location to place the inactive one, he will suffer from the blasts made by the Comedy Bomb. | Keeping the inactive leader separated from the active one makes it possible to resort to the former in case the active leader is knocked down.
