Before collecting it, defeat all the Mamutas in the area so they won't harm | The '''Brute Knuckles''' is one of the [[treasure]]s found in ''[[Pikmin 2]]''. It is a toy [[Wikipedia:Glove|punching glove]] that is found inside one of the four [[Mamuta]]s in the fifth [[sublevel]] of the [[Frontier Cavern]]. | ||
Before collecting it, defeat all the Mamutas in the area so they won't harm Olimar as the [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] carry the treasure back to the [[Research Pod|Pod]]. Make sure the [[Caustic Dweevil]]s are gone so they won't carry the treasure on their backs. After the [[Research Pod]] cashes in the Brute Knuckles, [[Captain Olimar|Olimar]] will gain the '''Rocket Fist'''. | |||
==Rocket Fist== | |||
The Rocket Fist, a component of the [[Exploration Kit]], enables a new, stronger [[punch]]ing combo attack for use by the [[leader]]s, which makes defeating [[Enemy|enemies]] with leaders alone much easier and more efficient. Without the upgrade, the {{button|gcn|A|wii|A}} button will produce a simple right punch. Once this treasure has been collected, pressing {{button|gcn|A|wii|A}} a second time will perform a left-hook, and a third time launches a devastating wind-up punch. Due to [[Glitches in Pikmin 2#Sped up punching|a glitch]], punching while moving makes the attacks come out faster, which greatly boosts the Rocket Fist's effectiveness. | |||
This third punch has the strength of roughly three normal punches, and can dispatch a smaller enemy, such as a [[Dwarf Red Bulborb]], with minimal effort. It is capable of reaching [[:category:Airborne enemies|flying enemies]] and other obstacles high in the air, such as [[Puffy Blowhog]]s, if positioned directly under them. | |||
The power-up will not affect the inactive leader, as his attack speed is programmed to be just slow enough not to trigger the function. Using the leader's attacks together will still boost the total damage by a fair amount, and is suggested to be used often, though with careful watch for counter attacks so the inactive leader can move in advance. | |||
