How to Beat Pipegunk

Pipegunk Strategy
Pipegunk Form and Attack Changes Healing Ability After Transformation Equip Recommended Plugs Activate Luigi Logic

Pipegunk Form and Attack Changes

Throughout the battle, Pipegunk will adapt its form and attacks according to the environment, so memorizing its attack patterns is crucial as they vary and can be tricky.

In the lava zone, Pipegunk shifts to its Fire form, while in the ice zone, it changes into its Icy form.

Healing Ability After Transformation

After each transformation, Pipegunk can activate its Healing Mist move to restore some health. This ability is limited to one use per form, so it will only heal once until it changes forms again.

Equip Recommended Plugs

Recommended Battle Plugs
Icy Attack	Fiery Attack
Temperature Guard

Due to Pipegunk's constant form changes, you'll need to frequently swap your Plugs to maintain optimal power.

Equip the Temperature Guard plug as a constant, as it protects against Burn and Ice status effects. Alternate between Icy Attack and Fiery Attack plugs based on Pipegunk's current form.

Best Battle Plug Combos

Activate Luigi Logic

When available, have Luigi activate the Luigi Logic attack to deal damage and stun Pipegunk. This triggers a minigame with Shun, where you must wrestle the remote from him to change the environment to the opposite of Pipegunk’s form. This damages Pipegunk and temporarily stuns it.

While it’s stunned, unleash powerful Bros. Attacks to inflict substantial damage.
