This guide provides a concise explanation of how to easily defeat the Overgrown Crab, a rather challenging boss in the game Tinkerlands.
Preparing the Battlefield
- Clear Area: Find an empty patch of land or water.
- Rail Setup: Lay down a closed rectangular track of rails, 20 blocks high and 40 blocks wide.
- Health Potions: Bring about 20 small health potions for healing.
- Weapons and Ammunition:
- Choose a ranged weapon and bring enough ammunition considering the crab has 8500 HP.
- If using a magical weapon, prepare an infinite magic potion (crafted from 99 small magic potions + 5 mana flowers or mana fish).
- Recommended Hero Stats: Ensure your hero has a total health of around 250 HP to survive the battle.
The Battle
- Mount the Cart: Sit in the cart and summon the Overgrown Crab.
- Circular Movement: Keep circling around the track to deal continuous damage to the crab.
- Damage Sources:
- The crab will periodically release bubbles that deal damage.
- Occasionally, you may take damage from colliding with the crab.
- Duration: The length of the battle depends on the damage output of your weapon. The author used a Spider Staff (a highly ranged weapon that ensures no misses) and equipped an accessory that adds a chance to poison the crab on hit.
- Health Management: During the battle, the minimum health of the hero will drop to around 100 HP, so having a total health of 250 HP is recommended.
