Pikmin 4 is out, and the players can’t get enough of it—especially the older fans who are ecstatic about the number of reprising bosses within the game. Waterwraith is one such infamous hard-to-defeat boss from Pikmin 2 who also appears in the latest game. But you don’t need to worry; we will provide a detailed guide on how to beat it along with its location.
Where to find Waterwraith in Pikmin 4
You are going to face off against Waterwratih at the Final Sublevel of the stage named Engulfed Castle.
You will need to clear sublevels 1 through 4 to reach Sublevel 5, where the boss is located.
Pikmin 4: How to Beat Waterwratih
- Before encountering the boss, you will find two purple Candypop Buds near the entrance. Throw your Pikmins into them to get 10 Purple Pikmins.
- These Pikmins are absolutely necessary to beat the boss at this location. With them, proceed to flatten the bag at the gate.
- The Purple Pikmins are heavier than the other kinds of Pikmin. As a result, their immense force upon impact is what makes them special. They can also emit gravitational waves with that force.
- Make sure to ride on Oatchi before taking on Waterwraith. This minimizes the risk of casualty as opposed to the situation when the Pikmins are all spread out.
- Attack the boss with the Purple Pikmins when it is in a transparent state. Be sure to avoid getting in the path of its rollers. Gradually, it will become stunned and vulnerable after enough blows with the Pikmins.
- Also, remember not to get too close to it as it can inflict AoE damage near its surrounding area by physical movement.
- Once the boss enters its weak and darkened state, attack it with all the Pikmins in your arsenal. Occasionally, it is going to slam the ground with its rollers. Stay clear of that to avoid taking damage.
- Repeat your attacks until its rollers are destroyed. After that, you will enter the second stage of the battle.
- In the second phase, Waterwraith will attempt to run away from you. When it gets exhausted from the running, throw the Purple Pikmins on it to make it vulnerable. Then, deploy the attacks like before until it is finally defeated.
Conclusion
