#SNOW BROS 2 FINAL BOSS FULL#
The Bulblax must be defeated in a single day since any damage done on one day will not carry over, and if the day is ended before it is killed, then it will be at full health the next day. It's usually a good idea to devote a single day to removing obstacles and clearing the path, only dealing with the Bulblax the following day since the battle itself can often be time-consuming. Once defeated, the Emperor Bulblax will go into a particularly long death animation, where it writhes around while drooling and appears to be sucked underground, leaving behind the Secret Safe and five randomly colored 5-pellets. When it's in a jumping phase, one can foresee a jump by knowing that its eyes widen just before it hops. The tongue is large and has no limit on the number of deaths it can cause. One can tell when it is willing to use its tongue by observing its salivation: if it's drooling, that means it will soon attack by using its tongue, gobbling up any Pikmin in front of it.
Once it reaches beneath half of its maximum health, it will add a new attack to its arsenal: jumping high up into the air, and eventually dropping onto the army of Pikmin. If Pikmin are latched onto it or located under it, it will jump to shake off any Pikmin on it, and crush any Pikmin underneath. When approached, the Bulblax will rear up and roar, knocking Olimar and the Pikmin back, and will then proceed to attack by licking Pikmin into its mouth with a large purple tongue.
#SNOW BROS 2 FINAL BOSS TRIAL#
It lies buried in the ground at The Final Trial inside the center of the sandy arena north of the landing site, visible only by the mossy growth on its back protruding from the ground. The Emperor Bulblax is the final boss in Pikmin. I-it's a good thing we didn't crash land near this monstrosity. Its mouth is so big, in fact, that I was worried it could swallow the S.S. Anything that falls into its mouth gets swallowed, even bombs. “It usually hides underground but will pop out to strike at its prey. In Hey! Pikmin, it is normally unreachable and needs to be coaxed into eating a bomb rock before any damage can be done. In addition, it has the least health of any boss in the game. It varies a bit between the three games, being a lot weaker and smaller in Pikmin 2, even having less health than a Fiery Bulblax – an enemy which is not considered a boss. Its soft face is its only weak point to attack, but since it doesn't discriminate much when eating things, it can be led to swallow something a bit less tasteful than Pikmin – namely, bomb-rocks. This beast usually hides in the ground to ambush prey, catching them with its long, sticky tongue. Moss grows upon its thick hide, giving its body a greenish color and serving as camouflage, and it even bears tall mushrooms, fern-like stems, both of which are missing in Pikmin 2, and what appears to be rocks embedded into its back. The Emperor Bulblax is different than most members of the Grub-dog family as it has a sludgy and melted appearance, smaller eyes, and a more flexible tongue. It serves as the final boss in the first Pikmin game, dropping the last ship part needed to complete the game. The Emperor Bulblax ( ダイオウデメマダラ ?, lit.: "Bug-eyed Spotted Great King") is the second-largest known species of the Grub-dog family right after the Empress Bulblax.
