Ancient Sirehound True Final Boss Strategy
Use the stalagamite-like Rocks as cover and attack the boss’ tail when it is stunned.
You can use the large stalagmite-like rocks that fall from above as cover to make the Ancient Sirehound crash into them and become stunned. Afterwards, use Pikmin to attack its yellow tail to force it topple over and lie flat on its back.
During this time, the Ancient Sirehound will expose its belly. Order Pikmin to attack it to damage the boss.
Stay mobile to avoid the projectiles and area-wide attacks that the boss uses.
As fight progresses, the Ancient Sirehound will imbue itself with various elements and use different attacks that fill the entire battlefield. Stay on the move and keep attack its tail until you can force it to lie on the ground again. Target its belly once more to damage it. The boss will eventually go down after a long and somewhat tedious fight.
