Subzero Sauna Bosses and Enemies

Bosses

Arctic Cannon Beetle

The Arctic Cannon Beetle's weak point is its back. Circle around the boss and wait for its wings to open and expose its back before throwing your Pikmin.

You can make the boss fight easier when you break the 3 ice pieces before the fight. This removes the frost effect in the cave, allowing you to use your other Pikmin.

Subzero Sauna Tips and Strategies

Subzero Sauna Tips and Strategies
Bring Ice Pikmin and Blue Pikmin Break All the Ice to Get Rid of the Cold Use White Candypop Buds to Increase White Pikmin

Bring Ice Pikmin and Blue Pikmin

Pikmin to Bring
Ice Pikmin 30 or more	Blue Pikmin 10 or 20

Make sure to bring a lot of Ice Pikmin for this cave as they are the only Pikmin type that can be used in cold areas.

Bring at least 10 or 20 Blue Pikmin as they can pick up the treasures and castaways on bodies of water. You can then use any extra Blue Pikmin to turn them into White Pikmin.

Break All the Ice to Get Rid of the Cold

The frost effect as seen on the corners of the screen prevents you from using Pikmin types other than the Ice Pikmin. In addition, all bodies of water will be frozen.

To remove the frost effect, look for the ice pieces on the map and use Ice Pikmin to destroy them.

How to Get Ice Pikmin

Use White Candypop Buds to Increase White Pikmin

You can find White Candypop Buds on the first and second sublevel of the cave. These allow you to throw your Pikmin into the bud to turn them into White Pikmin. There is a limit to how many you can produce, so be sure not to waste any White Pikmin.
