Complete Day 12 of Pikmin 3 Deluxe by defeating the Shaggy Long Legs and collecting 7 pieces of fruit in the Distant Tundra.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Head to the onion and recruit ten Pink Pikmin and ninety Blue Pikmin.
  2. 2
    Proceed forward to a body of water with a Bamboo gate. Lift the gate and proceed through, leaving the Pink Pikmin behind.
  3. 3
    Enter the arena and throw a Pikmin at the eggs to spawn the Goliath (Shaggy Long Legs).
  4. 4
    To defeat the Shaggy Long Legs, charge its legs one at a time. Wait for a leg to step, then charge it. Pikmin will climb and pluck hairs.
  5. 5
    Focus on removing hair from one leg at a time. Do not attack a leg if Pikmin can climb it entirely, as they won't be able to grip due to the hair.
  6. 6
    Once all leg hair is removed, focus on the creature's body and let Pikmin climb the legs fully. Be prepared for losses. You will earn a fruit upon its defeat.
  7. 7
    After defeating the Shaggy Long Legs, return to the Onion to sort your army.
  8. 8
    Captain 1 (Pink Pikmin): Send to the Spicy Berry Plant over the bridge.
  9. 9
    Captain 2 (Twenty Blue Pikmin): Send to the river, to the Electric Gate.
  10. 10
    Captain 3 (Red Pikmin and enough Pink Pikmin to raise a Bamboo Gate): Send into the cave with Splooges and fire jets where the Citrus Lump was previously found.
  11. 11
    Captain 1: Head past the Spicy Plant and to the left of the ramp into the water to find a fruit on a ledge. Charge Pink Pikmin at it. Return Captain 1 to the Onion.
  12. 12
    Captain 2: Avoid the Bearded Amprat and claim the fruit dangling over the water to the right. Return Captain 2 to the Onion.
  13. 13
    Captain 3: Inside the cave, deal with Splooges and follow the right wall to a bamboo gate. Lift it.
  14. 14
    Deal with the Spotted Bulbear. Use nearby bombs with Red Pikmin to defeat it.
  15. 15
    Clear the room of smaller Bulbears and collect the fruit on the pedestal. Return Captain 3 to the Onion.
  16. 16
    Head back to where you fought the Vehemous Phosbat with all three captains and an army of Pikmin.
  17. 17
    Go through the Electric Gate behind the Onion, swing left over the natural bridge.
  18. 18
    Turn right towards the cave exit. You will see a red spring mushroom and flying foes. Drop two captains and Pikmin onto the ledge to deal with enemies.
  19. 19
    Run right to find grapes (fruit). Collect them.
  20. 20
    Look past where the grapes were to see two red mushrooms. Throw a captain and Pikmin (including Rock Pikmin) over the chasm using the mushrooms.
  21. 21
    Once across, quickly dispatch a pair of Amprats. Grab the part buried Orange (fruit) and build a ramp from the hay bale.
  22. 22
    Follow the wall to the left of the onion to find another path. Follow it up, avoiding the Cannon Larva's shots.
  23. 23
    Defeat the Cannon Larva and use Rock Pikmin to free the last treasure (fruit).
  24. 24
    Ensure all Pikmin are safe.
Tips
  • The Shaggy Long Legs can be a difficult enemy. Charging its legs one at a time is the most organized approach.
  • Do not continue to attack a leg when Pikmin can climb the whole way; they need to be able to find a grip for the hair.
  • The Spotted Bulbear can be defeated effectively using nearby bombs.
  • When crossing the chasm with the red mushrooms, aim carefully.
  • Be mindful of the Cannon Larva's shots when approaching the final fruit.
  • 1 Fruit from defeating the Shaggy Long Legs.
  • 6 additional pieces of Fruit collected throughout the Distant Tundra.
