How to Complete Rugged Scaffold

Rugged Scaffold Tips and Strategies


Activate the Nearby Tricknoll Immediately

Pikmin 4 - activating the west Tricknoll

After gathering the three piles of glow pellets northeast of the Lumiknoll, quickly head west and activate the nearby Tricknoll, then continue gathering more glow pellets.

This will serve as your first line of defense from the Jumbo Bulborbs coming from the west half of the map.

Always Check the Radar for Incoming Enemies

Pikmin 4 - perked up Jumbo Bulborb in map

This sub-area's Lumiknoll is located at the very center of the map, so enemies can come from any direction. Always check your radar for enemies nearing the Lumiknoll.

Defeat Jumbo Bulborbs With Glowmob

Pikmin 4 - using Glowmob on a Jumbo Bulborb

Always engage the Jumbo Bulborbs with a Glowmob to stun them while also sending all your Glow Pikmin to attack. This can be done by holding the X button and releasing it once the gauge is full.

However, if you don't have enough Glow Pikmin to take down the Jumbo Bulborb before the stun wears off, call them back right away once it starts moving to avoid casualties.
