Another option is a good force of yellow Pikmin, I don't think i used blue pikmin much at all. You can pretty much stand out of the reach of the tongue and hoist yellow Pikmin into the middle with very little risk to the rest of your force, you just have to do it quickly. You might need to step back just slightly when he licks to ensure the rest of your team stay out of harms way but the yellow Pikmin continue to attack because they are high and out of the way. It's then just a matter of a well timed whistle to bring back your yellow Pikmin at the right moment. Done right casualties should be minimal. I spend most of this boss fight on the whistle to ensure that my rock Pikmin don't drown and you can generally save most. It took two or three goes but I think the first timed i focused on using the yellows I beat him and lost <10. It may not be the quickest way but it works. |
The tongue is only an issue if i'm attacking too conservatively, i've found. A heavy enough attack will have him flinch before he can use that damned thing. Mass drownings/stompings after he stands up after a chance at attacking him is what kills Pikmin in the field of 20 to 30 at a time.
Your strategy seems sound, as i found yellows were also good in knocking him over faster. Maybe my matured Blues and Yellows will do better, perhaps removing the Rocks from play after their time is up
