How to Beat Crusted Rumpup

Steps to Beat Crusted Rumpup
Checkmark Step 1: Dodge When It Charges
Checkmark Step 2: Weigh Down Its Tail with Pikmin
Checkmark Step 3: Attack Its Tail Tip

Dodge When It Charges

This scorpion-like creature charges at you as its primary attack. Evade it by moving sideways and try to get closer to its back.

Weigh Down Its Tail with Pikmin

While its tail is up, you'll need to throw 15 Pikmin to weigh it down. It can sometimes shake them off, but just keep throwing. Once it's down, a weakpoint on its tail will be exposed.

Attack Its Tail Tip

Focus your attacks on its yellow tail tip by using either Rush or Charge. If you brought Ice Pikmin, you can also freeze it so it stays down for longer.

DalmoDalmo's Log With a red carapace curved like a jaunty sun hat and a tail sporting vivid yellow tufts, this critter is a natural illustration of good fashion. But its face and personality exhibit only true ferocity! It will open its mouth wide and charge you with alarming speed. The juxtaposition of artistic exterior coupled with an aggressive attitude is intriguing!
OlimarOlimar's Log Its body is covered in a hard carapace, and it has an extremely ferocious personality. It spreads its sharp- fanged jaws to catch its prey.
The Crusted Rumpup suffers from poor vision, but it uses the fine hairs on the lower part of its tail and the ball-shaped sensory organ at its tip to detect faint quasi-electrostatic fields emitted by other organisms. In short, it has other ways to sense its predators and prey.
LouieLouie's Log The tip of the tail tastes almost fruity, with notes of sweet and sour. Pairs well with soft-ripened cheeses.
