Frozen Inferno Bosses and Enemies

Bosses

Snowfake Fluttertail

To beat Snowfake Fluttertail, throw a fire starter at least two times to peel off its white shell. This exposes its back, allowing you to throw Red Pikmin at it to deal damage.

Avoid getting hit by its ice attacks as this will make your fire starter disappear, requiring you to pick up a new one at the bonfire altar.

Be Careful Not to Lose Any Ice Pikmin and Rock Pikmin

Ice Pikmin

Rock Pikmin
