Recommended Tactics

When the mission starts, you already have 30 Rock Pikmin following you. Flank the Armored Mawdad and use the whistle to call the Red Pikmin along the far wall. Throw your Rock Pikmin onto the tip of the Armored Mawdad’s Tail. When the tip of the tail shatters, gather the rest of the Red Pikmin.

Lock onto the Armored Mawdad and adjust your position so that the creature’s exposed tail is directly in front of you. Send your squad charging in to attack. If you move quickly, you should be able to defeat this creature before it attempts another attack.

Use the same basic tactics when you’re playing with a partner. As one player uses the Rock Pikmin to attack the Armored Mawdad’s tail, the other player should gather the Red Pikmin. When the tip of the tail shatters, both players should send their respective Pikmin charging into the creature’s exposed flesh.
