- The final boss of Another Crab's Treasure defeated without taking damage and the ending. At least Kril gets what they set out to do.
This is the only fight that I struggled with to the point I needed to use magic. I was able to complete a magicless hitless phase 1 but the rarity of everything coming together plus nerves on phase 2 inevitably leading to a mistake had me throw in the towel on it. Firth moves pretty fast (especially in his first phase until reaching 50%) and the lead-up for his four-hit combo gives little time to parry or dodge out of the way. The electric eel adaptation, 3x sinker+ stowaways, and wave hammer allows you to capsize Firth in both phases pretty fast and keeps him from doing too much.
I'm generally pretty bad at souls-like games so definitely glad to complete them hitless, though I don't think I'll be anywhere near ready for Elden Ring DLC next month.

Of course Michael Reeves would play the villain in a game about fish and financial problems
"That's the thing about being a god 🙄" "I Don't need you to "Let" me do anything, It's just gonna happen!"
“I need… that… Shell! I’ll fight you for it!”
@@DarkAlone0731 "Huh. That's a bummer. I thought you had a good head on your shoulders, pal." "I was *Really* starting to respect you." "But here you are, Resorting to physical violence to take down a honest business-crab" "There's no need to get angry, pal. You're only gonna get yourself hurt."
@@Tal-But-Its-Not-Tal”I’m not…I…I am getting angry aren’t I? I think maybe… I’ve been angry the whole time ever since I left the tide pool I never wanted to be.everyone else seems angry all the time, I didn’t want to be like that but I can’t help it…not when people like you always get everything you want. And other people get hurt for it! *IT’S NOT FAIR!!!* and I’m really strong now… strong enough *TO STOP YOU FROM MAKING THINGS WORSE!!!*
@@DarkAlone0731 "You really are quite whiny y'know?" "If you're gonna fight me, Quit the sob story and just do it. I've got a empire to build here." (HOLY SHIT WE DID THE WHOLE CUTSCENE HELL YEAH)
I like how when Firth yells out “wait” there are no punctuation marks in the entire sentence while Kril’s lines just before that have “…” in the subtitles
I love Michael Reeves being this dudes voice, he’s just such a shitter and it fits perfectly
Sekiro: Crustaceans die twice
Just realized its Michael reeves, i am a fool. Altough i killed him first try tho lol
This boss was so easy compared to the others in the games. I just used a tin can shell and a tin can stabbed into my work for the hammer. He's pretty simple to parry
The ending is kinda somber, it's possible there is a secret ending but I don't know the rest of the game.
Doubt there is a secret ending. If there was it will probably be in new game+ if that’s an option. They would probably not put the shield around the perfect swirl to let you put it on right away to change the course of the story
For a soulslike, it's quite fitting. A moment of rage causing ruin to a lot of people. At least Chitan is okay and Kril can make amends for what happened.
@@destinyreforged no secret endinf, no ng+
I know Firth was being a jerk, but i dont think he deserved to die.
Yeah all he did was follow you around being a leech while idolizing villains, tell you to kill yourself, then steal an artifact and declare himself a god and then try to become rich and rule the world fully knowing that it would destroy the ecosystem and stomp out a lot of people long term and flat out kill people from dropping a literal island made of waste on a city in the short term.
But yeah dude he wasn’t that bad, he definitely smugly said he was doing the right thing and that’s all it takes to convince stupid people he’s a morally grey character I guess.
I can’t imagine how dumb you are dude
Why was this boss so easy lol I had so much more trouble with the stupid eel boss and Ronald
Ronald, aint no way, but yea i first tried, bobbit trap op
I can’t beat the final boss I gave up
Use a umami build
Build: Knight's Helmet, Phytoplankton+, Sponge, Whelk, Mantis Punch LVL 3, Tactical Tentacle LVL 3. Put Alot Of Points Into MG Stat Then Put Rest Into whatever you want
Also whenever you get low on umami charges use ur heal's to charge them back but do it wisely, and dont attack with ur melee. solely use ur adapations
What phase/attack is giving you the most trouble?
@@Sky0wnzFN I personally used Shark Tooth+, Sinker+. and Rusty Nail+, with Bubble Bullet LV 3, and Electrocute LV 3, with points mostly in MSG and ATK, but also Vitality, very little in RES
They really tried to portray this guy as evil even though he was the least angry soul in the main cast haha. If anyone was prepared to do the right thing, it was this bozo. He was just stupid. And they dropped a big boot on him for that. I found it a very cold message. Like "oh people like this are hopeless and should just be killed". This aligns with the anti-complacency line at the end claiming that all anger should inspire action, like peace and calm is fundamentally incorrect. Devs oughta read YKK sometime. The maelstorm of affirmative action is behind most of the man-made problems we see today. Pollution only even exists because people fought long and hard and actively for human comfort. Good intentions are all well and good, but they can never be the whole picture. Keep that in mind.
You know what? this is a good take. I understand your point completely though I disagree on whether Firth deserved what happened to him. Beyond himself, he represents all the ills of "Crabitalism" and the "trash economy" which is inherently unsustainable. Firth's goals to create a permanent boom and lessen trash exposure ultimately get nothing done as A: a permanent boom is impossible as it demands infinite growth from a finite source(that whorl did have a limit) and B: Just slowing the trash isn't the same as stopping it. Eventually, everyone would get gunked due to exposure, but slower. I'd like to add again that Firth literally became the Avatar of Pollution so it's pretty obvious there.
@@thechosenfundead6626 His goals were wrong, but not because of his heart. He was simply ignorant. He never shows any reverence to the trash economy that overpowers his reverence for the well being of others. To him, they are the same thing. He had to be stopped, of course, as stupid folk shouldn't wield society altering power, but he has done nothing to deserve being demonized. And it's the way the game handled his death as a gag that to me suggests he is demonized and dismissed as a worthwhile person. Ignorance is not a sin.
@@dopaminecloud Not ignorance by itself, sure...but *willful* ignorance, which is what Firth had, *is* a sin. There's not knowing any better, and then there's knowing well enough that something's wrong, but they still go with it and/or pretend not to know. Firth literally has all the qualities of a cryptobro, and to some extent, a debate bro that inherently argues in bad faith. Yeah the boot-death was out of the blue, but I see it as more of a representation as "Guys like this don't realize how this will lead to their own downfall and eventually everyone else's, and truthfully they don't care"; I wouldn't take that too personally. Besides, the game wasn't any less critical of Kril anyway; you saw how Nemma called him out.
That we dismiss anger as "irrational" and "destructive", not understanding that alot of the time it can be a good thing especially if it's born from a place of outrage and disgust with injustices, is fallacious and cold logic that itself needs to be dismissed. I dunno where the criticism against "affirmative action" came from, but I'm not here to address that nor do I care to. The whole point is, the world in this game as well as the world as we live in, is not that of YKK. Idealism is nothing but a slippery slope for dangerous naivety and blind optimism; you can't be so selfish as to expect calm and peace as the default in the face of an inherently violent world that, more often than not, will *especially* respond violently to calm and peaceful methods as history has shown numerous time moreso than vice versa.
There's a reason why expecting martyrdom to be the default way of solving things in modern times is frowned upon nowadays. It's important to be pragmatic above all else. Sometimes anger is actually a good thing.
@@Protoman2024 I don't believe it was willful ignorance either; though it could have been so eventually. There was shaking in his faith and a need to prove himself right in his actions. Desperate validation for a slipping worldview he is attached to. This is only ignorance, avidya. Which is a universal burden and not something to treat with disdain. Mindset does not switch on a dime. I understand what he is INTENDED to evoke, but I don't think that is what his character actually is within the story. Would have taken a few extra scenes where he actually acts in bad faith. If you compare how he is treated tone-wise compared to the apt anguish of the ocean, it doesn't really land for me.
"That we dismiss anger as "irrational" and "destructive", not understanding that alot of the time it can be a good thing especially if it's born from a place of outrage and disgust with injustices, is fallacious and cold logic that itself needs to be dismissed. "
Of course. I wasn't aware such dismissal is even common, anger has always been respected in my life as an emotion of passion. Its value is only decided by the direction of that passion, as you say. But passion can be attained without anger and if it can be while still pointing in the same good direction, that is always superior. We call that ambition. Anger itself holds only negative worth, it has to be leveraged to become valueable in spite of this, thus the message in the game about not fruitlessly stewing on it. What I disagreed with is that action is the only way to leverage anger. That that is not the whole picture. It's often a fine path, but it's so important to see the full picture whenever possible. And with anger this full picture also contains a path to peace.
YKK presents you with examples of the virtue of loss and transience, that's why I brought it up. The purpose of idealism is showcasing the good sides to concepts we have difficulty accepting in the murky waters of reality. The perspective you can gain there is what can let you leverage anger towards peace. There are many hints of this virtue in the game already, in how the trash is presented and the nature of the villains, but I am not entirely convinced this is intentional as it's not brought up in the narrative in any way and I don't know how subtle these devs are trying to be considering how direct most of the story is.
"It's important to be pragmatic above all else."
Reasonable above reasonable, and yet the exact reason our ocean is full of plastic. It is an endlessly self justifying stance. Not an easy opponent when the goal is a better world, not easy at all.
I want to add as well since we're yapping way too deep already: What a nice daring little story to put in the crab game. I was very impressed. I've seen some people actively dislike its more direct preachy qualities, but I am of the opinion that it is exactly because it wears that heart on its sleeve with that strong real world connection that it's this interesting to talk and think about.
