After the initial charge at the captain, the Mawdad will begin roaming around the arena and occasionally stopping for a few seconds it is recommend remain close to its midsection but not touching. If the Mawdad cannot see the captain, it will not charge, thus keeping any stray Pikmin safe from harm. Every time armor is damaged the Mawdad will rear up, and if the captain is struck by this he will lay on the ground for several seconds, leaving him vulnerable. | After the initial charge at the captain, the Mawdad will begin roaming around the arena and occasionally stopping for a few seconds it is recommend remain close to its midsection but not touching.

Throw Rock Pikmin at the armor pieces until you break them off(be warned, every time an armor piece is fully broken off, . It is possible to defeat the Mawdad with only one part broken off, but is recommended that you have most of the midsection off ease of aim. The mandibles can also be broken off but this is risky. The risk will pay off later, but it is not needed to win the battle. If the mandibles are broken off, this will make the battle near danger-less. The easiest armor piece to break and win with is the tail, since after you break a piece, the Mawdad will run to a wall with it's tail hanging down. | Throw Rock Pikmin at the armor pieces until you break them off (be warned, every time an armor piece is fully broken off, the Armored Mawdad will rear up, and if it hits the captain, the captain will be stunned).

Once you have a sufficient strip of the Mawdad's body exposed, leave the arena with all the Rock Pikmin you brought in. Leave the Rock Pikmin outside and bring in Red Pikmin. Again, bring in only one captain. | Once you have a sufficient strip of the Mawdad's body exposed, leave the arena with all the Rock Pikmin you brought in.

Now, keeping near the Mawdad's body as before, throw Red Pikmin onto the exposed sections of the body. They will cling on until being shaken off, meaning they will likely deal damage faster than Rock Pikmin. | Now, keeping near the Mawdad's body as before, throw Red Pikmin onto the exposed sections of the body.

Once the Mawdad has reached sufficiently low | Once the Mawdad has reached sufficiently low health, it will begin climbing on walls and only coming down when it spots the player and charges (destroying the mandibles ahead of time will effectively neutralize any threat from this). Locking on to the Mawdad during this period is recommended, as one can see where it currently is, but it may be difficult for some players to get out of the way if they cannot see their captain. The other (more unpredictable) strategy is to just run around and whenever the captain makes an exclamations such as "Here it comes!" move quickly to the side. However, as you won't see where it is coming from, this can very easily go awry. | ||
During this period, throw Red Pikmin onto the exposed parts. They will cling on, sometimes even riding the Mawdad up the wall, but they will eventually be shaken off. It is best to occasionally round up of Pikmin to ensure that none are caught. Repeat this until the Mawdad perishes. | During this period, throw Red Pikmin onto the exposed parts.
