Master Day 8 of Pikmin 3 Deluxe's Twilight River! Learn strategies to defeat the Scornet Maestro, rescue Louie, and collect all three crucial pieces of fruit.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Take two captains and a large army of Pikmin (91) and hop on the lillipads heading right.
  2. 2
    Swap to a third captain and grab nine Yellow Pikmin. Assign five to the Spicy Spray Plant and four to grab bombs from the can near the Blowhog's former location. Use the ‘Go Here’ command.
  3. 3
    After a cutscene, deal with the nearby Arachnode to prevent Pink Pikmin from getting caught in its web. Throw Pink Pikmin at it to make it move, then use Rock Pikmin when its web is low.
  4. 4
    Assign five Pikmin to the Spicy Berry plant.
  5. 5
    Move to the Dirt Wall over the river. While Pikmin work on it, swap to another captain and have their Pikmin grab bombs. Command them to meet the other captains.
  6. 6
    Once the wall is down, leave some Pikmin for the third captain to pick up and have two captains and their army ride a lillipad far down the river.
  7. 7
    Throw one captain onto a red Mushroom to reach a higher ledge for collecting bridge parts.
  8. 8
    Run this captain along the lillipad path to find a brick. Throw Rock and Pink Pikmin up to this captain.
  9. 9
    Return to the main path and set Yellow Pikmin on the electric gate.
  10. 10
    Swap to Captain 3, pick up the army, and use a lillipad to cross the river. Tear down the Dirt Wall to the right.
  11. 11
    Back on the Red Mushroom ledge, smash the Crystal, head up the path, and deal with the Arachnode. Set fliers on the bridge parts and collect the fruit that pops from the Crystal, assigning Rock Pikmin to it.
  12. 12
    Back with Captain 3, head through and use Pink Pikmin to raise the right clipboard (containing bridge parts).
  13. 13
    Use grounded Pikmin for the bridge parts to avoid the nearby Arachnoid web. Use bomb rocks to demolish the wall, revealing the Pear.
  14. 14
    Return to where Captain 3 tore down the Dirt Wall. Move through the water to find the final bridge parts, using flying Pikmin to collect them.
  15. 15
    Send a captain back to the Onion.
  16. 16
    Head up to tackle the Scornet Maestro. Focus on avoiding its attacks by moving when they ‘lock’ or running under the Maestro. You can also kill the smaller Scornets before they attack, or glitch the attack direction by controlling a single captain.
  17. 17
    Once the Scornet Maestro is defeated, assign Pikmin to Louie and the celebratory boss kill fruit (Seed Hive).
  18. 18
    If time is tight, focus only on getting Louie home.
Tips
  • Use the ‘Go Here’ command frequently to manage Pikmin efficiently.
  • Rock Pikmin are effective against Arachnodes when their webs are low.
  • Be mindful of Arachnoid webs when assigning Pikmin to tasks.
  • The Scornet Maestro fight is time-consuming due to damage caps, so focus on avoidance and consistent damage rather than speed.
  • If time is running short, prioritize rescuing Louie.
  • Rescue Louie
  • Collect 3 pieces of Fruit (Pear, Seed Hive, and one from the Crystal)
  • Defeat Scornet Maestro
