The Libra is a ship piece to the S.S. Dolphin; it is featured in Pikmin. It was given to Olimar by his daughter, and is named after the astrological sign. The Libra is just like the Sagittarius except it gave Olimar memories and thoughts about his daughter. Though mandatory, its function remains entirely unknown for the player.
Collecting the part
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...”
