This article is about the ship part in The Forest Navel and Sun-Speckled Terrace. For the one in The Forest of Hope and Serene Shores, see Sagittarius.

The Libra (リブラ^?, lit.: "Libra") is a ship part for the S.S. Dolphin in Pikmin and Olimar's Shipwreck Tale in Pikmin 4. It was given to Olimar by his daughter, and is named after the 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[edit]

The following article or section contains guides.
The strategies shown are just suggestions.

In Pikmin[edit]

The location of the Libra in The Forest Navel.

Normal strategy[edit]

All three types of 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.

Red Pikmin only[edit]

It is possible to obtain the ship part using only Red Pikmin.^[1] By dismissing around fifty Red Pikmin close to the geyser, it can be activated, little by little. Afterwards, by using 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.^[2]

In Pikmin 4[edit]

File:Sun-Speckled Terrace OST map.png

The location of the Libra in the Sun-Speckled Terrace.

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 breakable pots at the entrance. Enter and the Libra will be in plain sight.

Glitch[edit]

Main article: Libra glitch.

There is a rather notorious glitch involving the Libra in Pikmin. 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, 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.

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...”

Gallery[edit]

Trivia[edit]

Like the Sagittarius, the Libra is named after 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.

-Getting it 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. Go through a narrow strip of land occupied with [[Hazards#Fire|fire geysers]]. A [[bridge]] has to be built to reach the land, then throw 15 yellows to retrieve it and at least 5 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.
