Diamond Long Legs

The Diamond Long Legs is a mini-boss encountered in Pikmin 4 (Wii U). It is the rarest arachnorb in the game, only appearing once in Silver Lake. It is located in a snowy arena to the east of the landing site. There are gems that are arranged into a shape of a web. Rock Pikmin are recommended, however, the shards could sill penetrate through the pikmin, since it is diamond. It has a covering made of diamond, which is why rock pikmin are advised. When defeated, it drops the Snow Parka upgrade.

''This species of arachnorb uses gems or hard minerals as a defense mechanism. It uses the minerals as armor to protect itself from enemies. When it's armor is removed, it is vulnerable to attacks.''

Strategy
Bringing rock and brown pikmin are recommended for this boss. Toss rock pikmin at its abdomen, until it has been exposed. Then use the brown pikmin to finish it off.
