For us, Bosses are the highlight of Pikmin 4. They offer just enough challenge to test our combat skills, whilst also being large and imposing setpieces. They are visually outstanding, and every boss has to be tackled in a different way if you want to make it out on top.
Whilst visually similar to the Arctic Canon Beetle, the Horned Cannon Beetle is its own unique beast. Neigh impervious to all attacks, and lacking in any obvious weakpoints, taking this gribbly down requires creative solutions. This guide is going to walk you through how to defeat the Horned Cannon Beetle, and walk away with zero casualties and a bunch of treasure.

You can find the Horned Cannon Beetle in the Cavern For Kings, a cave found in the Hero’s Hideaway. Like most bosses, the Horned Cannon Beetle is found at the end of the dungeon and you won’t be able to progress without beating it. This is due to the locked gate that only unlocks on the Beetles demise.
The Horned Cannon Beetle only has one real attack, but it can be quite the devastating blow if it lands. It will suck in air through its mouth before firing out a large stone. This attack has to danger points. Firstly, Pikmin caught in the inhalation will be killed, so standing in front of the Horner Cannon Beetle is not advised.
Secondly, the stone fired from its mouth will crush and kill any Pikmin. Due to the nature of the attack, we suspect Rock Pikmin will be able survive this attack, but we weren’t able to test it.
Unlike the Arctic Cannon Beetle, the Horned Cannon Beetle does not expose its weakness whilst charging its attack. This makes the Horned Cannon Beetle functionally impervious to damage without solving its unique puzzle.
What makes the Horned Cannon Beetle stand out is its blowhole. This is found on its head and can even be targeted with your Lock On feature. When Horned Cannon Beetle is charging its projectile, this blowhole will also show an air-based animation, indicating its vulnerable to clogging.
To clog the blowhole throw a single Rock Pikmin at it. We recommend locking on to ensure your aim is as accurate as possible. Once blocked, the Horned Cannon Beetles hard shell will open up, leaving its back exposed.
You want to use Red and Ice Pikmin to quickly deal as much damage as possible. The Ice Pikmin will freeze the Horned Cannon Beetle, extending its vulnerability window. You can also use Ultra Spice to increase your damage output.
Due to the high HP of the Horned Cannon Beetle, it is unlikely you will be able to kill it in one cycle. Once it has shook off your Pikmin and closed its shell,

To become the perfect pickpocket in Baldur’s Gate 3, you’ll need some help from your wizard friends. Enemies and friendly NPCs are packed with goodies on their bodies, and you can rob everyone with the Rogue class. Sneaking has been completely overhauled in the new game, and the system is far more robust than it’s ever been in Baldur’s Gate.
It’s taken a few years of me recommending it nonstop, but it finally seems like Taskmaster is catching on in America (you’re welcome). Of course, I can’t take total credit for the concerted effort by the show (and its devoted fans) to make itself known stateside, but I’d like to think that my endless evangelism has had at least a little bit to do with it.

Pikmin 4 has quite an impressive bestiary. It is full to the brim with interesting enemies, bosses, and hurdles to overcome. What makes it even better is how each enemy has to be tackled in a slightly different way if you want to be successful. Bum rushing isn’t always the course of action, and sometimes, it doesn’t work at all.
Fall Guys is on a good run of crossovers lately. It was only last week that Death Stranding's Sam Bridges was made available as a costume in the free-to-play battle royale title, and it's being quickly followed up by video game royalty. Bandai Namco's iconic arcade hero, Pac-Man, is the latest to join the fun.
Pikmin 4, as is the case with the entire series, is deeply rooted in nature. You spend most of your time exploring the wilds of the world, fighting all manner of nature-based enemies and avoiding all-natural traps. It’s one of the reasons the games are so warm and cosy, and it’s a vibe we absolutely want to continue.
