{{spoiler|the final boss of ''[[Pikmin 3]]''}}
{{otheruses|the creature itself|information on the form it assumes when chasing [[Captain Olimar]]|Mysterious Life-Form}}


The '''Plasm Wraith''' ({{j|アメニュウドウ|Ame Nyuudou|Candy/Rain Nyuudou}}) is the final [[boss]] in ''[[Pikmin 3]]'' and is responsible for capturing [[Captain Olimar]]. It is a virtually featureless and vaguely-humanoid [[Waterwraith]]-like being made entirely out of an unknown gelatinous substance, which allows it to split different parts of its body off to create other semi-independent entities or even change shapes.
The[[File:Pikmin3 Amenyuudou.jpeg|thumb|300px|right|The Amenyuudou being scanned.]][[File:Pikmin 3 Final Boss fight.|thumb|right|335 px]]  '''Amenyuudou '''is the final boss of ''[[Pikmin 3]]''. It resembles an amorphous, ominous, [[Waterwraith]]-like being made completely out of a golden substance (stolen from the helm of [[The Ship]]). It lacks most notable features aside from a torso, 2 stumpy legs, short, arm-like structures that can stretch, and a hole in the middle of where its "face" would be, which seems to be both an eye and mouth. As with most final bosses, the path leading up to it, as well as the boss fight itself, require knowledge of every Pikmin type. The creature is responsible for the capture of [[Captain Olimar]].


The Wraith is encountered at the [[Formidable Oak]], having taken Olimar captive with what appears to be curiosity rather than maliciousness. Efforts to rescue Olimar cause the being to enter an [[Mysterious Life-Form|alternate form]] and slowly crawl towards the explorers, attempting to retake him, until it reaches the outside of the oak. Once this occurs, the Wraith assumes its original form, detains Olimar in its nucleus and begins to attack, starting the final boss fight. Defeating the Wraith immediately activates the game's ending.
==Final Battle==


As with all final bosses thus far, the path leading up to it and/or the boss fight itself requires the knowledge and use of every single Pikmin type.
The Amenyuudou has many phases. This sections covers its final fight.


==Stats==
Upon entering the arena, the Ammenyuudou will begin slowly walking toward the player and their Pikmin. When close enough, it will extende thin, needle-like arms from its "shoulders" to skewer Pikmin and kill them. [[Rock Pikmin]] are immune to this attack. Throwing any Pikmin at its body will do damage to it. However, its health meter differs from all other creatures in the Pikmin world in that it is a beveled-gold color, rendering it more difficult to tell exactly how much health the boss has lost.

|carriers3 = N/A

}}


==Background==
The boss will attack my spewing large masses of liquid gold onto the arena, then spitting out a solid cube of gold. The mass will form around this solid cube and take on the form of an element to guard it. It has many forms, each which can only be killed with certain Pikmin types...
When Olimar first arrived at the Formidable Oak, he saw a shiny golden substance at the top of the tower, and decided to investigate. [[Louie]] expressed discomfort and chose to stay behind, letting Olimar go on ahead without him.


At first, the Plasm Wraith was curious and playful towards Olimar and did no harm to him. However, when Olimar tried to leave, it became hostile, triggering his [[spacesuit|suit]]'s auto-sleep function and dragging him back to its cave. It became protective of Olimar to the point that it would attack anything that showed interest in him. The exact reason for this bizarre behavior remains unclear.
1. The gold will protect the cube in a bubble of water. Only [[Blue Pikmin]] can defeat it.

2. The gold will turn molten and surround the floor with fire. Only [[Red Pikmin]] can defeat it.
===''Pikmin 3'' Prima Guide===
{{transcript|The Plasm Wraith is located in the Formidable Oak. This resilient creature uses spiked appendages to skewer its victims, and is capable of summoning hazardous Elemental Plasms. All Pikmin types are useful against this enemy, so assemble a well-balanced squad before you enter this battle.


When you encounter the Plasm Wraith, use Rock Pikmin to attack the creature from a distance. When the Plasm Wraith begins to fall apart, destroy the puddles of loose plasm before the creature is able to reclaim them.
3. The gold will form a spike underneath the cube, setting it high up in the air. The cube will them generate an electric barrier around it and the gold. Only [[Yellow Pikmin]] can defeat it.


Rock Pikmin are immune to the Plasm Wraith's direct attacks, so they're your best option for the bulk of the encounter. Once the creature begins summoning Elemental Plasms, however, use the corresponding Pikmin to destroy each hazard. Use Winged Pikmin to attack the Plasm Wraith each time it flies into the air.
4. The gold will turn into a glass cube that slowly tumbles around the stage, crushing Pikmin. Only [[Rock Pikmin]] can defeat it.


Attack the Plasm Wraith to weaken the creature, then destroy the loose plasm to prevent the creature from regaining its strength.|block=y}}
Once the elemental hazard has been destroyed, any type of Pikmin can be used to destroy the bits of gold matter still left on the floor. The more gold the boss uses, the smaller and faster it becomes.


==Defeat Bosses!==
The boss is also capable of re-absorbing lost gold in order to regrow it size and regain health. Every time it shakes Pikmin off of its body, it also releases gold onto the arena. Eventually, the creature will begin to fly up in the air and attack with its needle-like arms from above. In this stage, only [[Winged Pikmin]] can attack it.
The Plasm Wraith is also the final opponent in [[Defeat Bosses!]]. Players are given 12 minutes to take it out and 100 Pikmin, which can be found around the arena. The path that leads to where the Onion is in story mode is blocked off by a "keep out" sign. The cave exit is not blocked off, but it cannot be entered at all, unless [[glitch]]es are used. There are 20 of each Pikmin type, 10 of each type in the ground to be plucked, and 10 of each type already in the squad. Players can control Alph (player 1's starting leader), Brittany (player 2's starting leader), and Charlie. Their order in ''Pikmin 3'' is Alph, Brittany, Charlie, and in ''Pikmin 3 Deluxe'' the [[action menu|order]] is Brittany, Charlie, Alph.


The following table lists what medal the player gets according to the time they take:<ref>The values in the Prima Guide are incorrect. These are the values used in the game's files, as per <code>content/CMCmn/system/mission_set/miset_misBoss6.szs/misBoss6.txt</code>: <pre># RuleData
Simply repretedly attack the boss' body to defeat it. However, the creature has a very large ammount of health and does not have any targetable weak points that cause it to recoil, so it can freely attack Pikmin at any time.

Once defeated, the creature will spew gold everywhere and shrink in size. Once at its smallest size, it turns into a gold cube, which shatters to reveal [[Olimar]] inside.

* Even though the Amenyuudou is defeated, it is revealed to still be alive in the final cutscene. One can notice this because the small trail of gold-like remains after its defeat slowly move away from the site.
 
==Strategy==
{{guide}}
After the Plasm Wraith assumes its original form and recaptures Olimar, proceed to throw Pikmin at its stomach. This will cause small bits of its plasmic exterior to fall off, making its [[health]] go down. However, Pikmin must then attack the puddles of plasm on the floor to destroy them, or the Wraith will simply reabsorb the puddles and regenerate health. Although it is not necessary, you may take 20 of each Pikmin for the battle. Send the other two leaders out of its reach, as this fight only requires one leader.
 
Be prepared to lose a lot of Pikmin during this phase of the battle. It will actively attack Pikmin, but mainly prefers to target the leaders and attack when they are close, by [[stab|skewering]] them with a rapid "needle-arm" attack. If any Pikmin aside from Rock Pikmin are in range of this attack, they will be skewered and eaten. You can use one leader as a distraction, and have another handle all the Pikmin, but this may be difficult to manage. While it is doing this attack, it is unwise to attack it head-on, as it will not be fazed by attacks, and can easily kill the Pikmin. Instead, throw just a few Pikmin at it, preferably its backside, until it tries to shake Pikmin off by twisting its body. This will cause additional plasm to fly off of its body. As it loses more and more plasm, it decreases in size; this is the key to winning the fight.
 
It can also become temporarily airborne, during which it can be reached by Winged Pikmin, or, with some effort, Yellow Pikmin. If it is hit with enough Pikmin while flying, it will fall down, losing even more plasm as it hits the ground.
 
===Elemental Plasms===
After a quarter of its health is depleted, the Plasm Wraith will attack by spewing large masses of plasm onto the arena, then spitting out a small patterned cube. The plasmic mass will form around this solid cube and transform into an Elemental Plasm. Each Elemental Plasm has a specific [[hazard]] associated with it. If the Wraith spits out a cube, quickly call all Pikmin away from it. The less plasm in the Elemental Plasm, the less time is needed to destroy it. It has many forms, each of which can only be destroyed with certain Pikmin types:
 
*A bubble of [[water]], with the cube in the middle. [[Blue Pikmin]] must be thrown in, so they can swim to the core and shatter it. Other Pikmin will gain a bubble of water on their stem if they touch the hazard, and will suffocate if not called back.
*A bed of [[fire]] surrounding the cube. [[Red Pikmin]] are recommended, but [[Rock Pikmin]] can get the job done as well, provided they are [[whistle]]d back before they burn to death upon touching it.
*An [[Electricity|electrical]] sphere. The Elemental Plasm will form a spike underneath the cube, setting it high up in the air, and will then generate an electric barrier around it, making it resemble a {{w|plasma globe}}. Only [[Yellow Pikmin]] can reach high enough and sustain the forcefield, though Rock Pikmin can destroy it if they're thrown as it's forming.
*A [[crystal]] cube with the Elemental Plasm inside. The cube slowly tumbles around the stage, [[crushing]] Pikmin. Only Rock Pikmin can break it, chipping away different shards at a time.
 
Destroying Elemental Plasms will leave behind a large amount of plasm that must also be destroyed. If they are left there for longer than 20 seconds after being initially spat out, the Wraith will reabsorb them to heal itself. When the Wraith has been reduced to just a quarter of its health, it will create three Elemental Plasms at once.
 
===No deaths===
Despite this being a very difficult boss, it ''is'' possible to beat it without any Pikmin lost. To make things simpler, use one leader at a time, but be sure to switch leaders when the current one's suit is very damaged. Bring out as many [[Rock Pikmin]] as you have, preferably flowered, since (as stated above) they are the only Pikmin immune to the Wraith's stabbing attack and cannot be crushed by the elemental plasm. This method can make the battle take two days, but one is possible. For the first phase, simply pummel it and the plasm that falls off. Once a quarter of plasm is lost, the battle gets more difficult as it shoots Elemental Plasms. The list below shows what to do for each one:
*If it is a Fire Plasm, attack the core with Rock Pikmin until it breaks apart. Quickly whistle the ones that are burning. Then, attack the remaining plasm.
*If it is an Electric Plasm, you are given a brief window to throw Rock Pikmin at the core before the electricity field spawns in and it floats too high for them to reach. If you miss your chance, just try to avoid it, as the electricity will paralyze your Pikmin and possibly knock them back into other hazards.
*If it is a Water Plasm, Rock Pikmin have no way of attacking it at all, so ignore it completly and take extra care to whistle any Pikmin suffocating, otherwise they ''will'' die.
*If it is a Crystal Plasm, break the crystal until it melts into plasm, which you should then destroy.
After its health is lowered enough, it will have been beaten. Try to keep the Rock Pikmin in your group and organized, as having Pikmin all over the arena will possibly make some perish. Whistle any that get knocked to the ground, that are burning, suffocating or paralyzed. After the cutscene ends, you will have completed the fight without deaths.
 
===Smaller squad===
If a large group of Pikmin is too difficult to keep track of, another option would be to bring around 40 Rock Pikmin instead. This should reduce the risk of casualties from any Elemental Plasm. A smaller group is a bit more manageable, but will not be quite as powerful as a full group, and thus may make the battle take slightly longer. This strategy should help reduce the amount of Rock Pikmin that are idle or affected by a hazard, as a smaller squad of Pikmin has less of a risk of being hit. Otherwise, it is recommended to follow the "No deaths" instructions above along with the "Smaller squad" strategy if you are attempting a [[zero death challenge]].

==Trivia==
[[File:P3 Out-of-Bounds Map Enemy.jpg|thumb|An odd second enemy bubble to the west of the map, when the Plasm Wraith's mission is highlighted.]]
*In the Japanese version of the game, there appears to be a more direct connection to the Waterwraith than in the English version, given that their Japanese names both include the name "Amebito" which translates to "Candy Man", much like all Bulborbs include "Dememadara" which translates to "Bug-eye Spots" and can be considered as an equivalent to Grub-Dog. This required the Plasm Wraith to receive a scientific name that included the ''Amphibio'' genus present in the Waterwraith's scientific name. Given that Japanese names were localized into scientific names for overseas versions, the absence of a scientific name for the Plasm wraith, thus, can arguably be considered a [[mistake]].
*The Plasm Wraith is the only [[enemy]] in the {{ps}} to have an "unknown" scientific name.
**Although, there are plants like the [[Shoot]] and the plant the [[Leech Hydroe]] controls as the [[Berserk Leech Hydroe]] whose scientific names are listed as "unknown" as well.
*While Olimar's notes mentions that the creatures are made of the "gelatinous substance" that composes the Plasm Wraith, the Japanese version specifies that they are composed of the Plasm Wraith's cells.
*This creature, along with the [[Titan Dweevil]], are the only creatures so far in the series to exhibit the ability to harness all of the main [[hazard]] elements present in their respective games; all other element-based enemies are only able to wield one element.
**The [[Ancient Sirehound]] utilizes almost all elements present in its game, but lack water and poison attacks (although it features a similar but deadlier hazard: [[Gloom]]).
*When its health is at its lowest, regardless of how much damage is caused to it, it will only die after twirling itself and shaking off attacking Pikmin. At that point, it will throw away plasm and shrink to a size too small to continue fighting.
*Even though the Wraith is defeated, it is revealed to still be alive in the final [[cutscene]]. One can notice this because the small trail of plasm remains after its defeat slowly crawls away from the site. It can also be briefly glimpsed as the [[S.S. Drake]] leaves the planet, already fully reformed and angrily wobbling at the leaving ship.
*In the [[secret file]] reward video, "At the Oak", Olimar is seen surveying the area, while Louie is running away from something. Right as the video ends, the viewer can hear loud footsteps and the Wraith's roar, implying the capture of Olimar.
*The Wraith's [[HUD#Health wheel|health wheel]] is actually of a beveled, gold look, and corresponds to the amount of plasm left in its body.
**The color of this health wheel will still turn red to indicate low health like other bosses, but has a lighter shade compared to others.
*In the mission selection screen of [[Defeat Bosses!]], highlighting the Wraith's mission will show the arena's radar map on the GamePad. If the player pans to the northwest, they can see a second enemy bubble out of bounds. According to the game's files, this is the Mysterious Life-Form's bubble.<ref><code>/content/CMCmn/generator/mapE/mis_boss.szs/1.txt</code>, line 93 &ndash; <code>Metaboss</code>'s (Mysterious Life-Form) coordinates are at <code>-5650.00000000 0.00000000 6330.00000000</code>. Same file, line 12 &ndash; <code>Metaboss2</code>'s (Plasm Wraith) coordinates are at <code>4000.00000000 0.00000000 -5750.00000000</code>. File <code>default.txt</code>, line 12 &ndash; <code>UFO</code>'s (S.S. Drake) coordinates are at <code>4880.00000000 150.00000000 -5440.00000000</code>.</ref> For some players, it may not be possible to pan the radar off-course like this, since it will be confined to the normal boundaries. It is currently unknown why.
*The Wraith’s trophy in ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U'' erroneously depicts it in the [[Quaggled Mireclops]]' arena. Bizarrely, the trophy for the Quaggled Mireclops itself doesn't feature terrain of any kind.
* The Wraith's nucleus, which is presumably its actual main body, controlling the plasm as if it were normal limbs, can also be split into twenty-seven smaller cubes, in a 3x3x3 formation. This can be seen during its respawn animation during the chase sequence. It can further split into two hundred sixteen, in a 6x6x6 formation, as can be seen when it uses an elemental plasm during the boss battle against the Wraith. This is in addition to becoming completely hollow and having its six faces appear out of nowhere, as seen when Olimar gets captured during the chase sequence, as well as being able to physically overlap with Olimar, and, as can be seen when the Wraith slips away, spit out a false cube that can also overlap with objects and disintegrate.
* The Wraith's nucleus was likely inspired by {{w|pyrite|cubic pyrite}}, also commonly known as 'Fool's Gold'. Narratively, this choice potrays a sense of irony after viewing the entries in [[Olimar's Log (Exploration Notes)]] , where he states his hopes to 'Find Gold' while searching for treasure.
