Engulfed Castle Bosses and Enemies

Bosses

Waterwraith

Throw Purple Pikmin on its back side to attack the Waterwraith and reduce its HP. Once the boss swipes away your Pikmin, use the whistle immediately to call them back and to avoid getting run over by the boss' rollers.

It is recommended to use the Candypop Bud in front of the boss room to get Purple Pikmin. This Pikmin type has the strength of 10 regular Pikmin and is vital for defeating the Waterwraith.

・Appears in the cave after 5 minutes. ・Pikmin will instantly die if they get run over by its rollers. ・Cannot be attacked unless you have Purple Pikmin. ・Can only be defeated in a boss fight once you reach the 5th sublevel.

A transparent enemy that uses a steamroller-like vehicle called Waterwraith will appear on the sublevels along the way. This enemy cannot be attacked until you fight it as a boss on the 5th sublevel.

If the enemy appears on the sublevel, it is recommend to find the door that leads to the next sublevel to flee from it.
