Yeah, wood doesn't combust at the smallest spark. I remember correctly, each sub-level had few different layouts possible when you entered, but scouting it before hand might work. ballistics are probably are best choice for smashing the legs. We can smash two on one side and then burn the rest. I should have explosive berries soon. I am going to try and make a few mountable rocket cannons for the groinks.
Yeah, the thing is very fast. Think how fast a Man-At-Legs is normally, then add HF rocket metal to the mix.
If you guys give my groinks some time, they can calculate how far they need to fire ahead of it's legs while it's moving through trial and error...
maybe we have another plan though? And now tricks this itme.

I really like the idea of using the purple ooze we get to stick it in place, and then go to town on its legs. Then it will fall and destroy itself when the legs are taken out right?
Simple strategy.
Almost no casualties.
Hard to flub up.
Who is opposed to this plan, and why?

The trick is getting it to walk in the ooze in the first place. Since it has a ranged attack if I remember correctly it'll probably try to play it safe and avoid most goo traps. We'll need to distract it while hiding the traps. Anyone opposed to the notion of me sending scouts, unless anyone has any better units or would like to work with mine for better coverage?

If you wait 12 days, I can assure your scouts absolute and total safety. That meaning, General Pikpik is researching Advanced Scout Techniques, and either he can give you the research to assure your pikmin are safe and scout everything, or I can offer enough petals to make him sell me a copy of the research, then gift it to you.
Lets keep risk and casualties to the absolute minimum. I would even notion that we should try launching the goo at it's legs, and either coming up from the bottom of it to kill it without being hit, or use some sort of long range explosion or ballistic damage in order to bring it down without having to engage it. We need a better understanding of it's weapon load.

Would drilling it's leg work?
Also, I will have my Fire Chaorb back when we go fight that thing!

Something came to my mind!
Would the Man-at-pegs consider the Chaos-at-legs as his own species and not attack them? This would make a diversion to backstab him while he communicates with them.

No, I don't think so. It is angry and intelligent. It will have a vague, instinctual understanding of what we are coming to do, or something like that.
we can try and lead it to a pit of the goo, and I'l shoot it with my rockets, knocking it off balance into the pit... Maybe DS could loan us a few miner pikmin to build the pit in a timely manner?
