InAnother Crab’s Treasure, you may want to create different builds. You can opt for a physical damage-oriented build with your trusty fork that has been with you since the beginning of the adventure, or you can focus on a spell damage build using the Umami power. Alternatively, you can forget about all that and turn Kril into a tank to minimize damage taken.
To accomplish these, it’s not enough to adjust your stats; you also need to equip the stowaways to suit your build. There are quite a few stowaways in the game, and finding them isn’t exactly easy. Luckily for you, we’ve prepared this guide.
