Many soulslike games keep alive trends started by Fromsoft's games, and 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Another Crab's Treasure carries the torch on by giving you the classic tough-yet-optional early game boss: the Royal Shellsplitter. This seemingly undead lobster wanders the edge of the map, and packs ꦗa unique ability.

Fitting with their design as an executioner, they wield a lock like a guillotine and can inspire fear in those around them with their terrifying visage. While you don't have 🤪to beat the Royal Shellsplitter to progress, beating this boss can net you some valuable rewards if you're willing to face the fear.

How To Beat The Royal Shellsplitter

• Recommended Stats: VIT 15, RES 2, STR 15, and MSG 15.
• Recommended Shell: Soda Can or Bottle Cap.
• Recommened Stowaways: Barnacle/Limpet, Limpet/Mussel, or Limpet/Sea Star.

The Royal Shellsplitter is an optional boss, and you'll find them in the lower right corner of The Shallows, in an area marked by two trash bags on the map.

While 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:they're a Lobster like Nephro, they have a much different moveset that's more similar to the Comb Crabs you can find near Nephro's boss area.

If you 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:haven't fought Magista yet, this is likely going to be your first time dealing with a status effect in the game, and it's called Frightened.

When afflicted with Frightened, Kril will temporarily be unable to fight or use skills, and will either run away while crying or hiding in his shell for around five seconds.

Overall, the Royal Shellsplitter is a dangerous opponent, and your primary obstacle in this fight will be his Lock Combo, Guillotine, and dealing with Fear Gaze and the Frightened status effect.

Keep to his back and side during this fight as you dodge his attacks as he lacks a back kick like Nephro, so you're fairly safe to stay in that area for damage dealing.

For both the Lock Combo and the Lock Slam, you'll want to dodge to the side instead of forward to avoid it.

When the Royal Shellsplitter uses his Fear Gaze, make sure to either duck in your shell or run out of its radius, as this will lower the build-up of Frighten.

If you've 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:gotten to the Moon Caves and unlocked both skills and the ability to use Umami, skills like Skewer, Parry, and Streamline can help give you an edge in this fight.

You can Parry both his Lock Drop and Lock Slam, while Streamline can help you get close to him if you opt to dodge his Lock Slam. Both Skewer and Parry can also help you get extra damage to knock them down, and get some big damage in.

If you run out of Heartkelp Pods, you can find a single Heartkelp Plant in some grass near the edge of the map.

His Guillotine is an unlockable attack he does occasionally, but it has a short wind up of him running at Kril with his claw open.

Either dodge and run if you see this happen, then go back in for damage. If you are hit by the attack, it'll do around 75 percent of your health, but it won't do any damage to your shell health.

If you don't have a shell equipped, the Guillotine attack will one-shot you instead of just doing damage to you.

As long as you keep an eye on your Frightened build up and avoid their Guillotine attack, the Royal Shellsplitter can be defeated, and as a reward for beating them, you'll get 750 Microplastics and a Clothesclaw worth 1,000 Microplastics.
