Thirsty Desert Tips and Strategy

Use Bomb Rocks Effectively

Bomb Rock is the key to getting the Platinum Medal of this mission as it can defeat enemies instantly. Make sure to throw them on a spot where enemies can't see it to avoid missing your targets.

Defeat Spotty Bulbear with a Bomb Rock

The Spotty Bulbear is the most dangerous enemy in this mission. This enemy is extremely intimidating but you can simply let him devour a Bomb Rock to take it down, sacrificing a Pikmin in the process.
