Pikmin 4 – How To Defeat Giant Breadbugs | Boss Guide

gameranx.com:

Pikmin 4 has quite an impressive bestiary. It is full to the brim with interesting enemies, bosses, and hurdles to overcome. What makes it even better is how each enemy has to be tackled in a slightly different way if you want to be successful. Bum rushing isn’t always the course of action, and sometimes, it doesn’t work at all.

This is fully realised when you encounter your first Breadbugs. These little buggers are almost completely immune to damage, steal all of your treasure, and generally end up being a complete pain in the butt. Not only that, but GIANT Breadbugs also exist, and they are even more of a hassle. Well, they are until you figure out how to beat them.

Breadbugs first make their appearance in the “final” area of Pikmin 4, the Heroes Hideaway. They are exactly what their name implies, a bug that resembles a loaf of bread. Because of their bouncy, loaf-like bodies, they shake off most damage. If you are persistent with your Rock and Purple Pikmin, however, you can brute force them. 

The same can’t be said for Giant Breadbugs who are completely immune (as far as we are aware) to Pikmin-based damage. Even you chonky Purples do nothing to these guys. 

What makes Breadbugs and their Giant kin so annoying is their ability to steal your stuff. Whenever something dies, or a treasure is uncovered, you better believe nearby Breadbugs will flock to that location and steal it. They even bury it, making it a chore to retrieve it a second or even third time. 

As cute as these critters are, they need killing if you want to live a long and treasure-filled life. Since
