Secrets:
How can I defeat the Titan Dweevil in Pikmin 2?

The final boss of Pikmin 2 uses four weapons: fire, water, electricity, and poison. Bring along plenty of yellow Pikmin. You can throw them the highest, making it easy to reach the boss's weapons (which you must all destroy), and they are resistant to electricity, his toughest attack. Start by attacking the electric weapon a bit, then he will use it the most. Next, destroy the water weapon (the faucet) first, followed by fire and poison.
Destroy electricity last, and he will be without all his weapons. Now you can defeat him.
P.S.: Make sure you have more than 30 Pikmin left in the end to carry away all the treasures. These are all his weapons, each worth 1000, and Louie, unfortunately, is only worth 10.
