Another Crab’s Treasureoffers an enjoyable underwater adventure with its variety of enemy types and interesting boss fights. There are nearly 20 bosses in the game, but you don’t have to fight all of them. Some are optional bosses. Due to the vast size of the game’s maps and regions, finding these bosses can sometimes be challenging.

If you want to test yourself and prove that you’re the strongest crab, you’ll want to defeat them all. After the Treasure Hunt begins, most players will head to the Expired Grove to find the first piece. In this area, one of the optional bosses will be waiting for you.

Pre-Fight Preparations

If you’re around level 20, that should be sufficient for this boss. In terms of stats, if you trust in your blocking and dodging abilities, you can prioritize RES a bit.

Additionally, allocating some points to VIT stats would be valuable to not solely rely on your shell. So, you should allocateat least five points to defensive stats like RES and VIT.

Moreover,spellcasters have a slight advantagein this boss battle. Therefore, if your MSG stat is close to ten, the fight will be quite easy for you.

If you have a physical damage build, having at least 10 ATK will suffice.

It’s not a good idea to rely too much on the shells in the boss’s arena. The reason for this is that there are very few shells available on the field, andthey are quite fragile, with abilities that aren’t particularly effective for this battle. If you have a magic-focused build, Soda Can could be useful, butusing Sauce Nuzzle’s ability leaves you vulnerableto the boss’s attacks.

If you bring a shell that won’t break easily and has high defense, it will be to your advantage. Shells likeValve or Skull are excellent for this situation. Especially Skull’s ability to revive you once can provide you with a safety net. Valve, which can be easily found in the Expired Grove, provides excellent defense as well.

Coffee Mug and Ham Tin are shells with high defensevalues that you can find in the Expired Grove. Alternatively, you can use Coconut, found south of Duchess' Chambers in Shallows, for this battle.

How To Beat Curdled Carbonara Connoisseur

This boss doesn’t have particularly surprising moves, to be honest. If you’ve reached this stage of the game, it meansyou’ve already defeated more challenging main bosses.Therefore, you can easily defeat this boss with a few attempts. Here are the boss’s moves:

Crusher Tong

Medium

(Crushing Attack) Jumps into the air, striking the ground with the tong in a vertical arc as it lands.

Triple Swing

Swings the tong horizontally three times, thenstrikes the groundwith it in a vertical arc.

Rapid Thrusting

Swings the tongs three times withrapid thrusts, then lunges forward slightly for one final thrust.

Shield Hurler

Short

(Aggro Attack)Grabs you with the tong, then throws you by hurling you onto its shield.

The only thing you need to know when fighting this boss is that if you hit it from the side where he holds the pot lid shield,it won’t take damage.So, you need tomaneuver around itand position yourself well.

Single Swing and Triple Swing are attacks that arevery similar to each other.Therefore, the boss may feint a Single Swing and perform a Triple Swing instead. In this case,parrying during the third attackof the swing can be advantageous.

Dodging Crusher Tong is relatively easy. Simplydodge backward to prevent this attackfrom breaking your guard. During Rapid Thrusting, anticipating its final thrust while it thrusts with the tong is again crucial for parrying. Also, the boss’s Aggro Attack,Shield Hurler, has a very short range, so avoiding it is also easy.

Another thing to pay attention to is the gunk around the area. Try not to stay too much outside the circular area, asyou can lose a lot of health due to the gunk.Likewise, it can also throw you out of the area with Shield Bash, but this is not a frequently used attack.
