Getting the Libra is very complicated, as all [[Red Pikmin|Red]], [[Blue Pikmin|Blue]], and [[Yellow Pikmin]] are needed to retrieve it. First travel to the large lake area, and go along a short pathway to the right, guarded by a bramble gate. Go through a narrow strip of land occupied with [[Hazards#Fire|fire geysers]]. Keep all the Pikmin to one side of the passage to avoid any Blues or Yellows coming in contact with the fire. A [[bridge]] has to be built to reach the land, then throw fifteen yellows to retrieve it, and at least five blues to open up a [[geyser]] for Olimar to reach the area where they can be thrown. Then switch Pikmin from yellow to red to carry it across the fire. It should be noted that Pikmin get deflowered when carrying the Libra off the ledge. This can be avoided by calling them before they fall or simply looking away by positioning the camera.
[[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.

It's also possible to get the Libra with only reds, by swarming the submerged geyser in a certain way, and then flinging the reds up to the ledge so they can still get it.

Red, Blue, and Yellow Pikmin are needed to retrieve it. The path toward it can only be accessed by breaking down the black gate near the large body of water. The path is littered with 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 thrown 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.

Glitch

Main article: Glitches in Pikmin#Libra glitch.

There is a rather notorious 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 random location. Should this happen to the player on the GameCube version of the game, the player should reset the game immediately, as the game cannot be completed without this part; however, it can be reverted in the New Play Control! version.

Notes

Olimar's monologs

I've found my Libra!

My daughter gave this to me. It's named after her astrological sign. My sweet little girl... I wonder what she's doing right at this moment...


My daughter gave this to me. My late return must have her very worried...
