Tips & Strategies

Can be fought by 3 main options:
Having at least 3 decently strong creatures so while it picks up 2 the third one will fight.
Have a mount that it can't pick up fight against it.
Shoot at it metal arrows to counter it's damage resistance from most projectiles.
More Karkinos Encountering Tips
Iβd say Iβm having pretty bad day. So, I just bought Abberation and I was so excited, so I went over to the water. I donβt know much about Abberation, so I thought the Karkinos was just a kind little crab. Oh boy was I wrong.. I went closer to the water, as I was thirsty. But the Karkinos comes running up to me, picks me up and shreds me to pieces. Letβs just say I took a little break from Abberation 1 minute after I bought it.
It's a Giant crab that can throw it's enemies far away
They spawn in Genesis in several caves in the Lunar biome
Make sure to carry around grappling hooks
If picked you can graple the crab and it will let go
Available at floating island caves in Crystal Isles.
They're very rare in there so be patient
In the wild crabs and spinos are buddies... they use the buddy system...
They can walk over spiked walls.
If you want to kill one use a Dino or a crossbow. Don't use guns because it Tales less damage from them! Thank me later!
Alpha version can damage stone. Everything is lost.
If they are in water the can crab you, which leads to a certain death. Not so dangerous on land. (Pun intended)
