Verminator

The Verminator is one of the two final bosses in the fanon game Pikmin: Invasion of the Giants. It is found in the area Queen's Statue

How to Beat

This boss requires a lot of patience. You might spend an upper maximum of a couple hours playing versus it (this final, boss-battle day is endless, so don't worry)!

You will automatically be given 70 Green Pikmin, 20 White Pikmin, and 10 Purple Pikmin to battle with. Make sure you have them all, you will want every one!

So, walk down the the sewer until you come to the arena. A brief cutscene (see "Cutscene One" further down the page). Once you can move freely again, get to some shelter!

The Verminator will launch some attack. There are three basic kinds, with one more being unlocked at half life, and the final, most danger attack is unlocked at a quarter life.

• Inspection- This will always happen before each kind of attack. The boss will get low to the ground, looking for the pests. That is the time to attack. Throw Pikmin onto his head until he brings it up again.

• Stomp- A very basic attack. A small shadow will be cast, just step around to avoid it.

• Acid Spray- A spray that deals acid damage.

• Poison Trap- Unlocked at half life. Drops a ball that spews poison in a small area around it. White Pikmin will attack and defuse it.

• Traps- Unlocked and frequently used at quarter life. This a unique attack. Several mousetraps (four to seven) will be dropped on the ground. If pikmin are thrown on top of it, it will snap and instantly kill them. If pikmin get near, it will snap but only throw back and de-flower them. The best way to defuse them is to throw a Purple Pikmin near it. That will generate a tiny shockwave that will set off the mousetrap without harming any pikmin.

Just attack when the boss lowers his head, and avoid the attacks when he doesn't.

Cutscenes

Cutscene One- The ground starts rumbling, and the camera pans upward to show the Verminator coming down the manhole. He gets to the bottom and then pulls out his exterminator gun.

Cutscene Two- This shows the Verminator quickly climb out of the shaft, leaving behind a treasure, the Power Capsule.
