These mini-boss fights don't feel nearly as fulfilling as the main ones, but it's also much easier to defeat these since they have quite a small set of attacks. However, you can still be defeated if you're not careful in the battle.

Giant Crab Attack Pattern

You won't find a lot of attacks from the Giant Crab, but you still have to learn how to dodge them if you want to win this fight:

Attack Name

Description

Ground Stomp

This is the most common red attack you'll see from this enemy, and as the name suggests, it takes its pincers in the air and then stomps them on the ground. This deals AoE damage and also launches a wave in each direction.

You can go a little far to dodge the AoE and then jump to dodge the wave. As the boss loses HP, it can perform the ground stomp twice consecutively.

Projectile Attack

This is the movement-limiting attack from the boss where it spawns a bunch of orbs from its mouth. These orbs bounce on the ground once and then dissipate when they touch the ground again.

One-Pincer Stomp

This attack is similar to the ground stomp except the boss only uses one of its pincers. This is also a normal attack and you can parry it if timed correctly.

Pincer Thrust

This attack is usually seen when the boss still has the shield on one of its pincers. In it, the crab readies up the pincer for a while and then thrusts it to one side.

You can easily dodge it by running away since the crab can't move while charging.

Tips To Beat The Giant Crab

The unique part about the Giant Crab boss fight is its armor on the pincer that's on your side. This reduces the damage taken by the crab monumentally. However, a few tips can help you defeat it easily still:

  • Jumping is your best friend for this fight. You can dodge most attacks from the crab by jumping, and this also gives you a window to attack its body instead of the armored pincer.
  • Even if you can't attack its body, it's still recommended to keep hitting the armored pincer since it does eventually break. You'll start seeing the double stomp attacks once this break happens.
  • When the pincer breaks, the crab will also start jumping at random locations on the battlefield. These jumps can damage you, but they're usually quite far away.
  • Don't try an aggressive approach for this fight since the crab can stun you with almost every attack, and it can easily take down your HP. Take your time with the fight and keep your distance when necessary.
