The '''Libra''' ({{j|リブラ|Ribura|Libra}}) is a ship part for the [[S.S. Dolphin]] in ''[[Pikmin (game)|Pikmin]]'' and [[Olimar's Shipwreck Tale]] in {{p4}}. It was given to Olimar by his [[Olimar's daughter|daughter]], and is named after the {{w|Libra constellation|constellation}}. The Libra is similar to the [[Sagittarius]] and is identical in appearance, except that the Sagittarius is bigger. It also resembles the [[Essence of Despair]] from ''[[Pikmin 2]]''.

Though mandatory in both games, its function remains entirely unknown. After being collected, the Libra is installed on the ship's hull, port at cockpit level (to the left of Captain Olimar when he's seated).

==Collecting the part==
{{Guide}}

===In ''Pikmin''===

All three types of [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] are needed to retrieve it. The path toward it can only be accessed by breaking down the [[Gate|black gate]] near the large body of water. The path is littered with [[fire geyser]]s. A [[bridge]] has to be built to reach the floating island of land next to this path. At least 15 Yellow Pikmin must be [[throw]]n onto the first plateau of the island. A [[geyser]] for Olimar must also be activated by Blue Pikmin to reach the area where the Yellows were thrown. The Yellows can then be thrown again to reach the Libra. It should be noted that Pikmin usually get deflowered when carrying the Libra off the ledge. This can be avoided by calling them just before they reach the edge, letting the part slide down by itself, or by simply looking away by repositioning the [[camera]]. Red Pikmin should then be used to carry the part over the fire geysers, but it is also possible to do this with Blues and Yellows if timing is right.

It is possible to obtain the ship part using only Red Pikmin.{{cite youtube|79o04GEvocI|showing the Libra being reached with a Red Pikmin}} By [[dismiss]]ing around fifty Red Pikmin close to the [[geyser]], it can actually be activated, little by little. Afterwards, by using [[Throw#High ledge glitch|long throws]], it is possible to get the Pikmin up the ledges, and use them to reach the Libra. Alternatively, one can get a [[pellet]] close to the railing wall thanks to a chasing [[Shearwig]], and then [[lie down]] between the wall and pellet to appear on top of the railing, and from there, walk up to the Libra and push it down by lying down near it.{{cite youtube|UfqG2lc36lw|showing how to get to the Libra as Captain Olimar}}

===In ''Pikmin 4''===
The Libra is in an enclosed corridor near the moat protecting a lone [[Puffy Blowhog]]. Go to the north side and use either [[Moss]]' [[rush]] or a [[bomb rock]] to break the [[jar]]s at the entrance. Enter and the Libra will be in plain sight.

==Glitch==
{{Main|Glitches in Pikmin#Libra glitch|t1=Libra glitch}}
There is a rather notorious [[Glitches|glitch]] involving the Libra in ''Pikmin''. The part may bounce and fall into the [[Pit|abyss]] when pulled from the ledge it is positioned on. It may not reappear in any way on the file, though sometimes it may reappear in a [[Randomness|random]] location. Should this happen to the player on the GameCube version of the game, they should reset the game immediately, as it cannot be completed without this part; however, it is possible to retry by returning to a previous [[day]] in the ''[[New Play Control!]]'' and Nintendo Switch versions.

==Trivia==
{{game help|p|Confirm that the Sagittarius is larger than the Libra. If so, add the info to [[Sagittarius]] too.}}
*Like the [[Sagittarius]], the Libra is named after {{w|Libra (constellation)|a constellation}}.
*In Greek mythology, Libra is the goddess of truth and balance.
*Even though the Libra and the Sagittarius are the same size when shown on the S.S. Dolphin, their sizes before being retrieved are different, and the Libra takes only 15 Pikmin to carry and the Sagittarius takes 20. In Olimar's Shipwreck Tale, both the Libra and the Sagittarius have a weight of only 5.
