How to unlock the The Bigger They Are achievement in Adventure Time: Pirates of the Enchiridion - Definitive Guide
- All types of enhanced attacks (i.e. fire, ice, holy, etc.) is effective against Mother Varmint. All are effective except jinx - it is a weak attack against her.
- Until her arms are gone, she likes to do a tri-attack (or double if she is missing one arm already) against a person in the group. It can hit for a lot of damage and should be followed up with a quick 25% heal potion.
- Her two (2) arms must be chopped off before attacking her main body. Her arms are 400 HP a piece while her main body is at 4000 HP.
- After the arms are gone, she will on occasion spawn babies - 4 of them - at about 160 HP a piece. They are easy enough to take down and is a great opportunity to get the following achievement by using Jake’s whole group hit (3rd tier) boomerang special attack:
- If her babies are left up too long, she will regenerate health. At the time, I did not have a lot of damage on her - ~400 HP gone - she healed back to full.
- Her babies like to do a spawn attack where they all go underground and start to attack the group for a good amount of damage. The less enemies in the group, the less damage the attack does. NOTE: I have not experienced it myself as I had at least 2 down before they would do the attack, but be aware they may use the spawn attack multiple times in succession.
Like I said, pretty straight forward fight. Doing this fight around the group’s level being 6 with full HP and attack upgrades (having maxed out special attacker’s don’t hurt either) to all the group members makes for an easier time taking her down this rascal of a varmint.
The Momma Varmint, or the Lumping Pirate Queen, is found in the Candy Kingdom. She has two arm appendages you have to break before you can start whittling away her health. Once you've dealt enough, she will also have a chance to spawn little Varmints out of eggs she lays. Varmints are typically weak to ice and jinx, if I remember correctly, so you might want to use these to your advantage.

After recruiting BMO and finishing your second visit to the Evil Forest, you will be tasked with saving the Candy Kingdom from Mother Varmint. Mother Varmint has 4200 HP and is weak against all elementals. But first, you'll have to deal with her two fists before you can start dealing damage to her – and after a few rounds she'll bring in some lesser varmints that you'll need to deal with first. To take out the arms/lesser varmints, I recommend only using Jake's boomerang for multi-hitting and use melee for the rest of the characters, otherwise you'll find yourself low on ability points by the time Mother Varmint herself is vulnerable.
It's quite possible that if you're using the 8-point boomerang ability during this fight (especially if you've been upgrading it), that you'll unlock Quadrilateral! against the lesser varmints.
This is story related and cannot be missed.
After saving BMO from the Evil Forest you will be summoned back to the Candy Kingdom. Mother Varmint will take over the kingdom. She has 4200 HP but she is also weak to every element. Attack her two arms first then after that she will summon her four minion varmints which is a perfect opportunity to grab the "Quadrilateral!" achievement. Jake will be best to kill her varmints pretty quickly with his special ability called Dogerang. Hopefully you've upgraded enough to do so or you can use fire. Just make sure you get a Overskronk over there heads before they die.
You can also use blocking with Jake if need be to protect BMO since you might need his ability during this fight. Rinse and repeat, taking her arms and varmit kids out. After this she will be able to be put down for good, unlocking the achievement.
