As you progress throughAnother Crab’s Treasure, you’ll need to level up your skills to defeat the stronger and stronger enemies that you will face. to level up your skills, you’re going to need to accumulate lots and lots of Microplastics. You can get them from enemies pretty much everywhere in the game, but there are some locations where you’re able to easily farm them.
The best farming locations are in the Shoals. As you explore the Shoals, you’ll come across lots of crabs and fish who will try to take you out. Here’s all the best places to find them.

What Are Microplastics?
Microplastics can be used to upgrade your statsand level up Kril; every time you upgrade a stat,the amount of Microplastics you need to upgrade again goes up.These arerewards you can obtain by defeating enemiesand bosses in the overworld, which can include crabs, fish, and lobsters.
There are enough of them scattered throughout the map that they’re pretty easy to find anywhere, butthere are a few places where they’re more concentrated than others.Most of these locations are aroundartificial structures like sand towers and arches,and a lot of them can be found in the seagrass as well.

Upgrades can be made at Moon Snail’s Cave, andthe cost of each upgrade applies to every stat.If you die before you can make it back to a Moon Snail’s Cave, you’ll lose all of them, butif you go back to the place where you last died, you’ll be able to pick them all back up.
If you die before you can reach it though, they will be lost forever.

If you’ve cleared out a nearby area of enemies and don’t want to venture too far away from a Moon Snail’s Cave, or the rest of the enemies are too tough for you, there’s something easy you can do to continue farming;return to the closest Moon Snail’s Cave, go to the menu, and click Die Instantly.The enemies will respawn, andthe trash you’ve collected so far will be nearby so you can recollect it.
