Spider Crab

Objective after the fight:Keep the Spider Crab shell and give it to the lighthouse keeper to receive the boat keys. Meat chunks do not complete the objective.
Preparation and fight walkthrough
- Buy the $45 knife before starting the fight. The knife is much more effective than fighting with your fists, and carrying food gives you a safer way to recover after a hit.
- After hooking the Spider Crab, move it onto dry ground. Wait for it to charge, step to the side, and attack its back while it is stunned at the end of the charge.
- Keep the Spider Crab away from the water whenever possible. Contact with water allows it to jump much higher, which makes its next attack harder to avoid.
- After defeating it, look for the shell among the separate drops. You may sell or eat the meat chunks, but only the shell can be given to the lighthouse keeper for the boat keys.
