Yeah I used the qr code and done the tutorial and it didn't give me it

[@noobed9646]

Sorry for saying this here but the wollywogs aren’t called wollywogs any more for some reason now there called wollyhops

[@user-by6qb3kk5x]

Groovy long legs has got to be my favorite boss. The music that it stomps around to is so cool as he goes faster with the different colors. And the fact that the Pikmin can get sprayed and dance under its disco head like an actual party is just so hilarious to me. So glad it made at least top 4.

[@myself3412]

it not being number 1 is a crime

[@bellaa.m1964]

[@GIGACAT573]

Fun fact : When he is in yellow mode he tries actively to kill you.

[@dr.happyfuntimes1214]

I also love that the music comes FROM THE ANIMAL’S BODY

[@MiniMack_12]

Same I love him so much his music is amazing and groovy like his name

[@FlareXbass]

Toxstool also revives dead enemies and poison mushrooms. Sovereign bulblax shouldve been separate because he is a lot harder

[@Springdude11]

I mean, they are harder, but I never had an issue with them. Just feed a bomb rock and then charge on Oatchi with a hoard of pikmin, and it dies.

[@noahthecrazy1632]

They also have a completely different attack.

[@mudkipchachipistachi1689]

You can actually kill the Giant Bread Bug by throwing 10 Pikmin on top of it

[@ParasitoBitumine-ov6bt]

Or one purple one.

[@Teallen96]

I love the Frosmoth purely because it is that great Nintendo example of giving you a mechanic in the earlier sublevels, giving you a chance to show how it works, before dumping you into a more threatening boss arena to allow you to adapt those mechanics to an enemy. Really also shows off how amazing the theming is of the caves to where that is the true mechanic of the cave and continues throughout, which is something that was sometimes lacking in Pikmin 2's caves.

[@zorlex9668]

I don't know why, but I find it's design the creepiest in the game. It just gives me the creeps and I don't wanna be near it.

[@Just_Shaun]

My favourite boss has got to be man-at-legs. I knew going into pikmin 4 that it would show up at some point due to the trailers, but I did not anticipate that I would first encounter it in the Olimar Epilogue. I gasped when I saw it on the kitchen counter.

[@stoopybutt1085]

I encountered it a lot sooner than that. I can't remember when but it was before I started the Olimar epilogue which I did very late into my playthrough. I think there's a total of 3 of them across the storymode and Olimars side mode.

[@Enderblade312]

@@stoopybutt1085There’s the one in Olimar’s Epilogue, the one you initially encounter, I forget the cave name, and the one in Cavern for a King

[@stoopybutt1085]

@@Enderblade312 yeah I don't remember the name of the cave you initially fight him in either.

[@Just_Shaun]

I played through Olimar’s Epilogue immediately when it was unlocked as a change of pace from the main campaign. At that point the cave you’re expected to first encounter it was in the next area.

[@UphillBridge]

@@stoopybutt1085I’m pretty sure it’s something like “Ultimate Testing Range”

[@aedaniammx7559]

Fun fact, the Masterhop is called that because the regular enemy versions have been renamed to Wollyhop, which was their British English name. Same with the babies, the Wolpoles

[@manquail2361]

Something about the toxstool not mentioned is that it acts as a cleric and will rush to revive enemies you killed. It's a cool idea for a pikmin enemy.

[@PoketronPokey404]

The poison the Toxstool lets out causes poison mushrooms and enemies to revive. The Sovereign Bulblax is actually an Older Emperor Bulblax and will leave the pack once it gets older.

[@HZConqueror]

Most bosses become a lot harder if you don’t use oatschi since oatschi is just that op he can change a normally hard battle to an easy battle

[@mattb6522]

Yeah, you kind of need an Oatchi-less run to add more challenge to Pikmin 4. Oatchi makes a lot of things a joke in this game.

[@maglev957]

Quick note about the Arctic Cannon Beetle, it actually debuts in a cave in the third area while the Hprned Cannon Beetle debuts in the fourth area. That fight has no ascent and a larger arena, but the snowballs cause icicles to fall from the sky when they hit a wall and the room is refrigerated until you break three cooling obstacles in the room.

[@supervisedchaos]

12:45 i love how you proceed to lose pikmin in the b roll while describing how this boss isnt hard

[@Jwello.]

The toxstool also revives poison enemys and puts poison mold whenever he puffs

[@UphillBridge]

You can actually throw yellows on the giant breadbugs

[@LimboDBD]

Waterwraith wasn’t as scary because they toned down his ai by a lot Back then he used to see you and not stop chasing you. Now if it sees you it will keep roaming. It became a husk of what it once was and I much prefer the old waterwraith as it’s no longer such a threat

[@MonsterHunterxRWBY]

Still terrifying, but encounters after the first one are pretty much punching bags and more annoying than scary.

[@Bulb132]

i think before you fight it it is but once you fight it its a joke

[@mattb6522]

Also, they kind of spoil it by showing it in the cave's intro image. Anyone who played Pikmin 2 knew what to expect. Also, Oatchi kind of nullifies its presence as you can just carry your Pikmin to avoid it. It is a minor annoyance at best in Pikmin 4.

[@gaelmunozplasencia6940]

One thing you must try is every boss with 20 reds and like that the bosses actually have a chance to do anything and a lot of them get a lot more fun

[@AreguIaruser]

"Erm, you left out the Puffy Blowhog" -☝🤓

[@WhitePikm1n]

Puffy Blowhog = Not A Boss

[@ludwig2349]

The giant bread bug you can also defeat by throwing pikmin top of it preferably yellow pikmin

[@parcomic9686]

Bro how do you mess up killing the bread bug 😂 just put 10 yellow pikmin on his back

[@cliffandjane540]

The top 5 hardest bosses in the final boss cave (my opinion) 1. Ancient sirehound 2. Sovereign bulblax 3. Empress bulblax 4. Titan blowhogs 5. Man-at-legs

[@WhitePikm1n]

none are hard except ancient sire hound

[@cliffandjane540]

I just rated them on how much I rested because I kept losing pikmin, and I am not a pro at Nintendo games

[@bowser_the_flamingshell]

[@yes3206]

@@WhitePikm1nwhat are you talking about? empress bulblax is actually hard because its at an advantage, which is you cant attack the weak spots; the back and the front. you basically have 2 centimeters of space when fighting it if you have dandori issues and are a coward and spam bomb rocks, you wont know what im talking about

[@michelleclark1016]

Yeah Mr nectar

[@ParasitoBitumine-ov6bt]

I consider the Puffy Blowhog a major enemy and would've included it on this list, but I otherwise agree with you. The stuff that the Smoky Progg and Ancient Sirehound use it called gloom and has no explanation for existing.

[@demopan1067]

gloom being on progg makes sense but it being on sirehound is just mean

[@ParasitoBitumine-ov6bt]

[@ritter3723]

I wouldn’t consider puddly blowhogs major, but I would consider bogswallows and both versions of creeping crysanthamums bosses

[@michelleclark1016]

Smoky the same fam as the sirehound

[@MonsterHunterxRWBY]

In the final cavern I cheesed Empress Bulblax by only using Oatchi.

[@TheDuckyDino]

He didn’t even bring up how the toxstool revives enemies lol

[@CollinDeP]

Quick tip for the final Empress Bulblax, if you don't want to deal with it being a pain in that small arena, bring 8 bombs and chuck them at her head. She doesn't move when they explode, so you can kill it with no risk of being squished.

[@Mr.Bones_]

I just used 100 rock Pikmin as they are immune to being crushed. Didn’t have to do anything haha 😂

[@Lunar-dx8pv]

It is way more fun to bring 25 white pikmin without oatchi into battle. It is more fun to make it challenging imo 😅

[@mattb6522]

The Sirehound was amazing! It was a fun and dynamic fight! Easily the best! Though, The Groovy Long Legs was just awesome too for the concept alone. All the other bosses were either rehashes or didn't feel threatening at all! I wish more of the bosses in Pikmin 4 felt grandiose like the bosses of Pikmin 3.

[@agentink8717]

I dispise the jumbo blowhog solely because i lost 45~ pikmin by it throwing them into the void. Pain

[@jonlevidalkvistagustsson6134]

It's cakled the Snowfake Flutrertail, not the snowlake fluttertail!

[@brollowz2912]

For phase 3, you can actually break the electric things with yellow pikmin. I wish I knew that sooner or else I wouldn’t have lost so many pikmin.

[@michelleclark1016]

Of course I like that phase

[@micahsimpson9091]

I had Oatchi break them because by then he had the proper equipment to deal with it and I didn't bring yellows. In addition, the fireballs that the Ancient Sirehound spits at you can activate the scorching furballs.

[@octoguygmod]

I feel like what counts as a "boss" should be if it plays the boss theme

[@blitztalks8039]

arent you supposed to throw bomb rocks into emperor bulblax's mouth like the first game?

[@Marco-ld2pj]

"It's very ammoying because almost every single time you attack it he'll led out a roar" I think that's Dandori Issue

[@xxmension04xx47]

the titan blowhogs also had the ability to push back pikmin with their attack, which made it hard to attack sometimes as they'd toss pikmin, then attack and send ice or red pikmin away the Sirehound really is one of the best bosses, and it keeps up the theme introduced in Pikmin 2...of all final bosses having access to multiple hazards as attacks but do wish they made the Sirehound the true final boss, and made it so that it used every possible hazard...and forced the player to use different pikmin to attack it

[@xavierclemente1973]

In my opinion the grub chucker is a boss. Many an easy one but a boss nonetheless.

[@NunnyNugget]

Ehhh honestly it’s basically just a dwarf bulborb with a fat health bar in terms of gameplay

[@mattb6522]

Grub Chucker feels like sort of a mini-boss like the Baldy Long Legs. It isn't difficult, but can catch you off guard if you're not prepared.

[@beepbeepok]

I think the long legs and the gout monster is great, but those are the greatest ones and I think every box is good

[@cometcartoons8528]

That dark red power that the smoky progg and ancient sirehound is called gloom. It’s the opposite of glow pikmin where the glow pikmin can stun all enemies the gloom effect can instakill all pikmin.

[@Roy-hp1yy]

You can rush the burrowing snarget with oatchi when it’s barely popping it’s head up and if you have enough pikmin basically instakill it. That’s how I took them out most of the time

[@FailPumpkin]

2:40 "learn how to rush with Oatchi" THATS MOSS!!!

[@yes3206]

yeah, did this guy even play pikmin 4

[@doommaster956]

I lost a Pikmin to the Arctic Cannon Beetle, it got swallowed into it's hole and it proceeded to swallow the little guy it seems

Fun Fact:The Bulborb The Fiery Blowhog And The Yellow Wollywog From Hey! Pikmin Are The Same Ones As The Jumbo Bulborb, Titan Blowhog And Masterhop

[@LukeA471]

Seeing someone ram beady long legs instead of just throwing pikmin straight as his weakness hurts my soul to watch

[@user-gs1dh8nk6w]

You can actually kill the giant breadbug by throwing pikmin on top of it too.

[@gsboss]

sniper spider was cool, most memorable for me so far

[@EpicMatt616]

I actually killed every breadbug the traditional way, I didn't even know that you could slam their heads. Now I kinda wish I knew that earlier

[@michaelr3077]

Instead of choosing the official arctic canon beetle fight you chose to talk about the gimmicky one at the end... Didn't mention the titan blowhogs faster attack and higher damage with knockback. Didn't even talk about the toxstools ability to recreate spore patches and revives dead enemies... Doesn't know the alternate way to damage giant breadbugs.... For my sanity i cant watch any more, lest i hear more mistakes...

[@Nin10doland]

The official arctic cannon beetle battle doesn't change at ALL how you defeat it, the exact same easy pattern. And the Titan blowhog is still a breeze and extremely basic as all you need to do is rush it with oatchi and you can one shot it with just over 50 pikmin.

[@thecommycompy5450]

The two smaller emperor bulblaxes killed 70 of my pikmin anyway so I’m fearing the big one

[@michelleclark1016]

If you lose Pikmin, dog it!

[@helloIdontremembermyname]

I was waiting for this video, thanks man

[@TizagoT]

You actually can damage the Giant Breadbugs without dragging things to the ship by throwing purples on top of it, the shockwave dealing a chunk of its hp, much slower than the other way though

[@GustavoPizza]

but the bosses were good :(

[@mattb6522]

Totally agree. The exceptions for me were Groovy Long Legs and the Sirehound (they were fun and interesting), but, yeah, the other bosses just weren't very interesting or just rehashes from earlier games. Pikmin 3 just set a really high bar for really dynamic and fun boss fights like the Quaggled Mireclops, Vehemoth Phosbat and Sandbelching Meerslug.

I liked the final boss up until the final phase witch just felt unfair

[@mattb6522]

Yeah, my first time fighting Sirehound was rough. The Sirehound's howl at the end wiped out a good number of my squad due to the deadly gloom puddles. There really is no way to predict its howl if going into the fight blind, so it can feel a bit cheap to lose a lot of Pikmin for no apparent reason (but that is Pikmin, I guess).

[@mariomaster101official]

Nice

[@alecschmidt3212]

For the Burrowing Snagrets, I found an easier method to kill them. Wait for them to slam their beaks, not peck very important, into the ground, where they get stuck. After that, rush using Oatchi. Repeat once or twice. Boom. Dead
