Top five tips and tricks for beginners for Underwater Soulslike, Another Crab’s Treasure

Another crab’s treasure, The aquatic soulslike where you play as a trash-carrying hermit crab is now available with Xbox Game Pass! Embark on an epic adventure in a crumbling underwater world after Kril’s shell is reclaimed.

If you are new to the Soulslike genre, Another crab’s treasure is a welcoming introduction. Built-in support options allow you to adapt to your playing style. Speaking of those options, I’ve put together a list of my top five tips and tricks for those new Soulslike players who might need some advice – let’s dive in!

Your shell is your best friend

I mean, you’re a hermit crab. Your shell is the only thing separating you from some seriously deadly enemies on your journey. A flawless shell is the sign of a coward! Don’t be afraid of it getting beaten up. When it breaks, there is (unfortunately) a lot of new junk to replace it, scattered all over the sea. You take a lot of damage when you’re out of your shell. So blocking and parrying will save you more than once.

Not only are shells great for defense, each portable trash is also equipped with a shell charm powered by the magic of the ocean. Use a tin can to shock the sardine, or perhaps a party popper to shoot some confetti in the lobster’s face!

Don’t be afraid to come back later when you’re stronger

The ocean is a big place. If you find yourself stuck in a boss fight and not making any progress, you may need to take the L and level up even further! Find some enemies nearby, explore the ocean for items, argue with the locals, and come back later. You will be surprised at the difference when you come back. Remember that the game is supposed to be difficult – don’t be discouraged by repeated defeats!

You don’t have to fight every enemy

For one thing, you might find yourself fighting longer than you’d like. Second, enemies respawn. There’s a lot to do and some just aren’t worth your time! Or maybe you do, depending on how much you enjoy spear fighting crabs all day long. I won’t judge you for that. Okay, maybe a little. But just like in classic Soulslikes, you’ll be surprised at how many fights you can avoid entirely if you’re careful and quick.

Mix up your playing style

There is almost always more than one way to approach a fight. If your current loadout isn’t working against an enemy, it may be that you haven’t figured out their trick yet. Try using different shell spells or customizations, or equipping different stowaways – small creatures that attach themselves to your shell and affect your combat ability in a variety of ways.

Plus, you might find a shark egg on your trip. These represent a kind of rebirth, as using them allows you to reset your stats or skills in the respective shop. If this Unga Bunga Warrior build doesn’t work, try a magic-focused build instead!

If you don’t feel like punishment, try our support options

In Another crab’s treasure, you may find that Soulslike games aren’t for you based on difficulty alone – that’s okay! In the settings menu you will find the support mode. From here you can change game settings such as: B. Increase the durability of the grenades and reduce the enemy’s health. Still too hard? Don’t worry, that’s why you can give Kril a weapon. No really, you can definitely do that. It’s a one-hit kill and looks just as silly as it sounds.

Additionally, players will still have access to all achievements regardless of whether they use the assist options or not! We welcome you to play at your own pace and without restrictions. If the game’s difficulty is affecting your enjoyment, you can change some of these options to make things a little easier. There’s a reason!

For players still looking for a challenge, we’ve made sure the standard game has it all. Or a pinch. There are too many puns to list at this point. But no matter what playing style you have, Another crab’s treasure will definitely find a permanent place in your heart, just like all the microplastics in you!

So? Are you ready to take the plunge?
