The '''Libra''' is a ship piece for the [[S.S. Dolphin]] in ''[[Pikmin (game)|Pikmin]]''. It was given to Olimar by his [[Olimar's daughter|daughter]], and is named after the [[wikipedia:Libra constellation|constellation]]. The Libra is similar to the [[Sagittarius]] and is identical in appearance, except that the Sagittarius is bigger. Though mandatory, its function remains entirely unknown. | |||

[[Red Pikmin|Red]], [[Blue Pikmin|Blue]], and [[Yellow 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 [[Hazards#Fire|fire geysers]]. 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. | |||

There is a rather notorious [[Glitches|glitch]] involving the Libra. The part may bounce and fall into the 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!]]'' version. | |||
In theory, it is possible to obtain the ship part using only Red Pikmin <ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=79o04GEvocI YouTube video showing the Libra being reached with a Red Pikmin]</ref>. 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. | |||
