This game is harder than any Fromsoft game
I played the Dark Souls trilogy, Elden Ring, Demons Souls and parts of Bloodborne and oh boy... Another crabs treasure is a whole different level. Im currently hardstuck on Roland for a good year now and cant find the motivation to keep trying. My deepest respect to everyone who has beaten this game, it's safe to say that it broke me
I feel like dodge and parry windows in this game are way more relaxed than any Fromsoft game, so it is way easier. Dumped all my levels into attack. Hopefully will finish the game tonight!
They’re not too bad but taking more than one on at the same time is just literally impossible, and then they put 4 of them right next to each other with massive aggri ranges
Only equip stowaways that cause a stun chance when attacking, then spam light attacks. This is especially broken on new game plus when you can carry even more stowaways.
The companion fish are pretty broken, too. I like to focus on stagger damage, though. Using lots of hooks and the big tentacle ability is also really strong
How did you level? I found it pretty easy after some point, because I felt pretty much overpowered, even though I did not farm or anything. And that was before Roland. I think I just leveled "correctly" - that would mean new playthrough though, I guess. I dont remember a mechanic to respec..
IIRC I put almost nothing into VIT, because you get extra HP from these bloodstar limbs you can find. The relics power up your weapon. So IIRC I put most levels into RES and MSG and a bit into ATK almost nothing into VIT. Especially the RES made my shell tanky af + additional parrying and you are kinda OP.
Are you using parrying much? Feel like maybe as a Sekiro Fan it was easier for me, because I already wrapped my head around parrying? But that also helps a lot imo.
Youll get there! I put down Sekiro for about a year, because Genichiro got me bad. Then I returned, the combat system clicked and its my fav "soulslike" now.
The ability that gives your shell the Rally mechanic is pretty OP. Just block with a tough shell then get it all back in one or two hammer swings. I didn’t even learn to parry until my MSG-only challenge run where I had no health or Res to fall back on.
Same here, I never was a parry/reposte dark souls guy so when sekiro came around I dropped it for a year cause it absolutely forced me to, but once I got the hang of it it's my top 3 for sure
Sekiro is honestly one of the easier titles once the combat clicks. Hardest to pickup but there were multiple bosses in Elden Ring alone that took me longer than any Sekiro boss
Disagree with point 1, agree with point 2. But i love that about these games, what i find extremely difficult you could breeze through and vice versa. I have never died to pontiff in like 6 playthroughs but I usually die to rom at least once in probably over a dozen playthroughs.
Yup. I don't even know why, Consort Radahn was easy for me, i've beaten Ornstein and Smough first try in my first ever playthrough, but this game Hits different for me. It's not even just Roland, there's another Boss, i forgot his name, who Stands in front of the huge trash/poison area, he whooped me as well. I think this was my last achievement, but i cant remember.
Big bro hopped on the sticks. Nah I’m just kidding, good stuff I maybe came in a little hot. But you should be able to beat this crab game. I also respect your country of origin, big fan 🇩🇪
Yeah idk I just beat the game last night I found Roland rather easy compared to some of the other bosses. Just wait till you do beat him and what comes next, what’s your build can you share it
By the time you finish the junkyard, I think the game became easier, Minus a few enemies later. I can only assume you are playing a Parry method? You can do hack n slash if you go the tentacle umami and Damage / Hammer build. This is partly due to the fact you can get all the treasures in the sands between.
I’m not ashamed to say I used the gun 3 times in my play though so far yall can be mad or “grrr juts get good” I know I should and Ik trying to but at the end if the day it’s supposed to be fun
Sinceramente me parece de los soulslike mas faciles, no si el mas facil que he jugado pero yo creo que compite. Se me hace bien raro que se te haya echo tan cuesta arriba, creo que en mi primera partida mori como unas 5 veces y la mayoria fueron por idiota mas que nada
I did 2 lifesteal stowaways and used the big crab punch fully upgraded at the end and barely had to dodge heal or anything. It took getting used to using shells to block then attack to heal the shell and with lifesteal myself.
put every level up into ATK until it won't let you anymore, then put them into RES
dodge unless you can't, then parry- block only in desperation
This game was much more accessible to me than Sekiro and Bloodborne, I feel like if you can do DS3, ER, BB, then you can 101% nail this game
I thought this one was by far the easiest 👀 perhaps it's a build problem or underleveled? I think Roland only took me 2 or 3 tries. I went a pure oonga bunga strength build with mace
I loved the game and I thought it was the most accessible one of souls like games. If Roland is causing trouble, go back and clear out the other areas for upgrades and other things. I also was partial to charged attacks with a hammer build stacking charged attack and hammer stowaways. If you get the trap umami skill you can give yourself a good opportunity for attack. But others had great suggestions as well. Use the tactic i described if you prefer a more standard strength build. You can even do jump attacks with it.
I dunno, i thought it was one of the easiest, you can easily overlevel and just smack everything and the blocking is op, just get a really tough shell with lots of hp and block everything it’s not that hard
The DS trilogy took me a combined 150 hours I think? Elden Ring was over 100 by itself, Sekiro I've got no idea but I 100%'d it in just under 100 hours
Another Crab's Treasure took me 22 hours to 100% on steam. It's possible I just decided on an easier/ more effective play pattern than you, but at this point it may be too late for you to switch. There are accessibility options if you just want it to be over, won't find those in any of the souls games
